FINLEY OPPOSED TO ASPHALT CONCRETE That cement concrete as a road-building material is not to be swept aside. As useless when the recommendation of the A. C. of C. that it be no longer used in building roads reaches the supervisors, is indicated by Supervisor S. H. Finley of Santa Ana. Finley, who is by profession a civil engineer and who was engineer of the County Highway commission, speaking his own opinion and not for supervisors, declares that cement concrete has advantages for certain purposes in road building that can not be equalled by asphalt concrete. "I am very glad to see this public interest in the character of road work in this county," said the supervisor, "but it seems to me that a further investigation will be necessary before an iron-bound determination on the part of the county to abandon the use of cement concrete in favor of asphalt concrete is reached. "There is a great deal that is not known about road materials, but there is much that has been determined to the satisfaction of the engineering profession. Road-building is an engineering job, and its problems are largely of an engineering nature. The best brains in the engineering profession in the United States are engaged in working on road problems, and the engineers certainly have not reached a conclusion against the use of cement concrete. "The recent attack on the State Highway commission by the Automobile Club of Southern California recognized the soundness of the standard type of road used by the state highway engineers. Within the last three months a report by the United States Bureau of Roads engineers commended the California state highway type, which type calls for concrete base. Within the past two weeks a committee of American engineers conducting an independent investigation into road building worked along the same lines, recognizing cement concrete as the best known material for base building. "My own idea of what is best for use at this time, considering the development of heavy traffic, is not concrete and asphalt concrete in road materials is well known by engineers and fully demonstrable by our own experiences in this county," stated Finley. "The fact that bases are going to pieces is no argument against the use of cement, for, under the tremendous increase in traffic loads and travel, asphalt concrete would have gone the same way. If laid under the specifications considered necessary at that time and upon such sub-grades as we have to contend with in many parts of this county, "Cement concrete," continued Finley in outlining his ideas concerning the different between the two materials, "is not destructible by time; the life of asphalt concrete is limited. "I am in favor of a base that is ample to meet the most extreme traffic the road will have to bear. First, of course, the sub-base must be adequate and kept adequate. You may have your sub-base in good shape when the road is built and have its adequacy destroyed by soaking it up with water standing over or alongside the road. "The base may be covered with asphalt concrete, which makes a good surfacing. But in putting it on the fact that that covering will have to be renewed when the life of the asphalt concrete gives out by natural disintegration should be recognized." "Take for example, Fourth street from French to Ross in Santa Ana. In 1895 that street was laid with a six-inch cement concrete base and a two-inch asphalt concrete top. The cement concrete was made out of unscreened gravel, such as was then used, and with a proportion of ten parts of gravel to one of cement. It is still standing strong today. The surfacing at the end of fifteen years was renewed. In the course of the next five years the surfacing now on the street will reach the end of its life when it will have to be taken off and new surfacing laid on the same base that was laid in 1895. "Those who believe that asphalt concrete is the only road building material that is advisable should take a look at the material that is today being torn up and hauled away from Main street between Fourth and First street, Santa Ana. That is asphalt concrete put down, I believe, 15 years ago. Anyone looking at it" "Many individuals formed their own organization proper kind of pavers said Finley. "These as greatly as there and it is manifestly all to be correct. This of us to do is to possibly he might be mistaken when his action against that one made a life study of have spent lifetimes of roads and have few mentions from that science. Should I get lieve that paragoric but when the doctor quinine is the proper what goes." 3 MORE SOUTH PKG.

"These opinions vary as greatly as there are pavements and it is manifestly impossible for all to be correct. The thing each one of us to do is to acknowledge that possibly he might be the one to be mistaken when his judgment is balanced against that of those who have made a life study of the subject and have spent lifetimes in construction of roads and have formed their judgments from that study and experience.

HOUSES BUSY Three more orange packing houses within the district of the Orange County Fruit Exchange started packing operations yesterday, making a total of five plants now engaged in packing the new crop. The houses starting work were those of the Villa Park Orchards association at Villa Park, the McPherson Heights Citrus Association at McPherson and the Orange Growers Association at Garden Grove. It is expected the Tustin Hills Citrus Association will begin operations the latter part of this week. One thousand boxes of Orange-co valencias were shipped by water for New York Friday, the Villa Park house and the Santiago Orange Growers' associations supplying 500 boxes each. The fruit was shipped on the steamer Valza, said to be one of the fastest boats operating on the Pacific. It is expected the fruit will be landed in New York within 18 days after departure from San Pedro. The shipment was under ventilation and it is anticipated that the fruit will arrive at its destination in good condition. The Orange-co navel crop has been cleaned up. The valencias are going upon a navel market, but the outlook for prices and demand is very encouraging, according to statements of men who make it a business to follow the market situation. Navel prices are LOTS ONCE GIVEN AWAY ARE VALUABLE Dozens of lots that a few years ago were given away as premiums with sets of encyclopedias are today under lease for oil drilling. Within the last three days leases upon no less than forty of these lots have been recorded. The lessee for these lots is the Globe Petroleum corporation, a Los Angeles company. Efforts are now being made to secure early drilling on the property, the prospects for which have been heightened by the bringing in of the 2400 barrel a day well by the Western Union Oil Vo. at Huntington Beach. The Western Union well, brought in eight days ago, extended the proven area of the Huntington Beach field toward the encyclopedia lots. While these lots are not in proven territory they are very close to proven territory. The encyclopedia lots were given away before anyone dreamed that there was oil at Huntington Beach. Most of these lots were distributed to Easterners. When oil was developed by the Standard Oil company in a wildcat well last summer, the leasing of lands in that vicinity received a great stimulus. Every square foot of land had its significance, and even the 25-foot lot was well worth while. A good many community leases were arranged. That is, a number of property owners joined in leasing to some oil company, the property owners to share, in accordance with their holdings, in any well that might be brought in upon any of their properties. The Western Union well is on a community lease. Among Huntington Beach men interested in it are J. J. Conrad, D. W. Houston and R. L. Obarr. The well is producing 2400 barrels a day of .23 gravity oil, that is worth $1.81 a barrel. The lessors are getting one-sixth of all the oil as their royalty. All they have to do is wait for the checks to come in. Some of the owners in the encyclopedia tracts are hoping that within a few months they will be among the oil check recipients. Soon after oil was developed at Huntington Beach, records at the courthouse were searched for the names and addresses of owners of the lots that had been given away by book agents. Some of those earliest in their hustling got lots for $10 and $20 apiece, while a good many changed hands for under $100. They are worth but little excepting as oil prospects. The Globe Petroleum corporation has been paying $100 a lot as bonus for the leases, and when oil is developed, if it is developed, the lot owner will share in the oil. Among those who secured some of the encyclopedia lots since the opening up of the Standard's first well are Mrs. Jeanette Magill and H. B. Kelly of Sanja Ana and Edward A. Logsdon of Costa Mesa. Leagues on ten lots owned by Mrs. Magill have been recorded. Others who have leased to the Globe Petroleum corporation and leases have been placed on records at the courthouse in the last three days, follows: fastest boats operating on the Pacific. It is expected the fruit will be landed in New York within 18 days after departure from San Pedro. The shipment was under ventilation and it is anticipated that the fruit will arrive at its destination in good condition. The Orange-co navel crop has been cleaned up. The valencias are going upon a navel market, but the outlook for prices and demand is very encouraging, according to statements of men who make it a business to follow the market situation. Navel prices are satisfactory and today were what would have been considered top-notch before the war. They average around what valencias were bringing in the pre-war times and would be satisfying to growers were it possible to produce valencias at the cost prices of those days. "The orange market is active," declared a fruit exchange man today. "The valencia crop in this county is big, the fruit is or fair size and the quality superior to that of recent years. We are hoping for fair returns for this year's crop. Prices of today would return good profits under picking and packing costs and freight and refrigeration rates of five or six years ago, but are not sufficient to show a fair profit under today's cost of production and transportation." "The new trees just coming into bearing are producing the finest quality of fruit." With only 45 feet more to drill the Wonder Oil Co. will be ready to bring in its Kraemer No. 1 at 4350. The well has been showing up very nicely and Superintendent Kraft is confident that his company will be repaid for their efforts. Great credit is due Contractor Keck for the workman like manner in which the well was drilled, and also the good time made. A location has been staked for well No. 2.

Its whiteness does not make SNOWDRIFT pure, but its purity is one reason why SNOWDRIFT is so white. SNOWDRIFT is made entirely of pure vegetable oil. With millions and millions of gallons of vegetable oil to choose from each year, only the very finest oil that the country produces is set aside for SNOWDRIFT and WESSON OIL. The choice oil is always light in color. It is again refined by Dr. Wesson's method to a degree of purity which the Southern Cotton Oil Company believes is not attained by any other fat. With every impurity removed, this pure oil is almost colorless, almost as clear and limpid as pure water. When it is hardened and whipped, as one might beat eggs, into SNOWDRIFT, SNOWDRIFT is white. Whiteness doesn't make SNOWDRIFT pure, but its purity does make SNOWDRIFT white. 1 lb. 23c, 2 lb. 43c, 4 lb. 82c, 8 lb. $1.60. We carry all the sizes in SNOWDRIFT—in sealed tins only.
