DAILY GREETING TO READERS How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?—Shakespeare. The path of pessimism leads backward; never forward. The American people are spending some $12,000,000,000 annually on luxuries. And yet what a tale of woe one hears about hard times from some sources when appeal is made for some good cause. The more intelligent the masses of the people of all nations become—particularly the more they know about each other—the less likelihood of a world war. Worldwide knowledge would be a promotor of worldwide peace. The soldier bonus measure in congress should not be enveloped in a cloud of partisan politics. Congress should do what is wise, just and proper as to this, regardless of political consequences. The fact that there are many divorces does not prove that the institution of marriage is a failure, just as the fact that there are many failures in business does not prove that all business is a failure. One side or the other, in the Stillman hearing, "rests" from time to time. But this does not give the public a real. The sensational press exploits all the miserable stuff that can be gathered in connection with the case. EARLY FUMIGATION UPON BLACK SCALE S. S. Collins, county horticultural inspector, reports that black scale in the orchards is hatching at the present time and is coming out in an even hatch. This will make early fumigation favorable. The fumigation season will start soon after August, probably about ten days later than usual. The fumigators have their tents The Philippines have a treasury with an aching void. But so has Uncle Sam. The man who was going to the North Pole in an airship has not gone. Ditto to the man who was going to fly across the Pacific. Give us some thrills, aeronauts, give us some thrills! In the Sherlock Holmes quest of the identity of those suspected pirates, Secretary Hoover might search the haunts of the profiteers and note who is missing. When Amundsen tells of discoveries of experiences in the polar regions, the world believes him without exacting proof. Such is the value of a reputation for veracity. Where on earth could more delightful summer weather be found than in California, these days? The charm of the California summer should be exploited before the world. For one thing patriotic Americans may be thankful—that the Dempsey-Carpentier bout is not to be on the Fourth of July. This holiday should not be marred. There is money in poultry raising for somebody. But some of the presumptive poultrymen claim that the money in the business is mainly for the dealers in poultry supplies. California has ideal conditions of climate, ideal scenery and ideal attraction for inducing conventions to come to this state. It is profitable, in several ways, to the state to have big, desirable convention bodies meet here. WATER BREAKS INTO BARDEEN OIL WELL Puene Hills A quantity of water broke through the Bardeen Oil Co.'s well necessitating a recementing of the 6 inch string. As soon as this cementing it set and drilled out the well will be put on production without further delay. The Chino-Corona United Oil Co. put its first well in the Puente Hills district on production. The well started off pumping water and oil about 50-50. It will probably take several days to get the formation wa- EARLY FUMIGATION UPON BLACK SCALE S. S. Collins, county horticultural inspector, reports that black scale in the orchards is hatching at the present time and is coming out in an even hatch. This will make early fumigation favorable. The fumigation season will start soon after August, probably about ten days later than usual. The fumigators have their tents all patched and ready to go soon as the county commissioner says the scale is ready. Mr. George Sloop will serve as night inspector again this year. Mr. Claypool, representing the Cal. Fruit Growers Exchange, is working in the county locating orchards suitable for the liberation of Aphycus, a black scale parasite. He has spent some time with Mr. Collins in orchards about Anaheim, but nothing additional was found on account of the even hatch. About five weeks ago some of these insects were released but further experiments are desired. Supervisors' Minutes The bond of Map Tract No. 170 was approved. County auditor was directed to transfer $250 from the Advertising fund to the county general fund, to correct error in warrant No. 14,737. Fumigating licenses wee issued to Herman & Walkee, and A. Laswell, on recommendation of the horticultural commissioner. The petition of J. Scott Willmarth et al., to vacate and abandon a portion of certain public highway was granted. County auditor was directed to cancel warrant No. 149, payable to the state motor vehicle department. No bids being received for the $20,000 issue of 6 pct. bonds of the Bay City school district bonds, same was continued to July 26, at 11 a.m. No bids being received for the $25,000 issue of 6 pct. bonds of the Yorba school district bonds, same was continued to July 26, at 11 a.m. No bids were received as advertised for this day for the improvement of certain streets in Yorba Linda, third road district. Water Co. Minutes Vault door committee granted more time. Report of the budget committee discussed and on motion action deferred until next meeting. President Hale gave a report on water conservation. Mr. W. J. Bentley came before the board requesting extension of time on oil lease to F. A. Gillespie. Upon motion by Holmes, seconded by Anin, the following resolution was resolved: Receives upon de- WATER BREAKS INTO BARDEEN OIL WELL Puene Hills A quantity of water broke through the Bardeen Oil Co.'s well necessitating a recementing of the 6 inch string. As soon as this cementing it set and drilled out the well will be put on production without further delay. The Chino-Corona United Oil Co. puts its first well in the Puente Hills district on production. The well started off pumping water, and oil about 50-50. It will probably take several days to get the formation water off before the well will show much of a production. Drilling at 3075 feet the Mahala No. 1 is showing a quantity of asphalt oil. The Mahala managers are pleased with the prospects and are making preparations to start a second well. The St. Helens Petroleum Co. and the Sun Oil Co. of Calif. are two new companies in the field, and both are building rigs. The properties of both companies adjoin the Bardeen holdings and are considered to be very good. CANYON WILL NOT QUIT DEEP TEST Brea Field The Brea Canyon Oil Co. will not abandon the 4200 foot test well drilled at Brea until further tests of the upper oil sands are made. At 4187 the deep well, No. 32, produced about 12 barrels. The 4 and 6 inch strings are to be cut and pulled out and the sands at 3200, 3400 and at 3600 tested out. Some oil showings were noted at these depths as the drilling proceeded. No. 33 has been recovered at 3200 feet, the 6 inch is going in now and drilling going ahead in new hole. The Columbia Oil Producing Co.'s Menchego No. 2 is now drilling at 4200 feet. At this depth the formation is a hard sand and shows only slight indications of oil. Orange No. 7 is now a deep well drilling at 3650 in sandy shale. Pico No. 3 failed to make a producer and No. 38 is fishing at 2850. At 3650 feet the Fullerton Oil Co. No. 16 is drilling in hard sand and showing quite a quantity of oil and gas. No. 6 drilled to 3300 lost some hole and is now redrilling at 2855. No. 14 standsc cemented at 2395 and No. 17 is a new well marked with a rig. The General Petroleum, the company discovering and putting the Tonner field in Brea Canyon on the map, has but one well drilling in that field now. Tonner No.1 redrilling and deepening at 2150 has drilled thru almost 500 feet of oil sand looks like a big well. The Union Oil Co. of Calif. has slowed its development work to one well in Brea Canyon. Stearns No. 82 held with a fishing job, made 3450 Water Co. Minutes Vault door committee granted more time. Report of the budget committee discussed and on motion action deferred until next meeting. President Hale gave a report on water conservation. Mr. W. J. Bentley came before the board requesting extension of time on oil lease to F. A. Gillespie. Upon motion by Holmes, seconded by Annin, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved: that upon deposit by Mr. F. A. Gillespie of a certified check for $500 with the company treasurer the company grant to Mr. Gillespie an extension of time on the oil lease on land at pumping plant No. 1 until Sept. 18. This deposit to be forfeited to the Anaheim Union Water Co. in case drilling is not commenced by Sept. 18. This extension to contain certain modifications of the original lease. President and secretary authorized to sign this extension upon approval by the oil committee. Following transfers of stock were granted: 1 share R. C. Annin to Mrs. M. L. Stough; 5 shares W. W. Adams and Argus Adams to Argus Adams; 20 shares Henry A. Strodthoff, pledges for Dr. W. H. and Ethel Wickett to Dr. W. H. and Ethel Wickett. Communication from Attorney H. C. Heid read regarding stockholders' notice to be held on July 30. This was ordered filed. Upon motion by Miller, seconded by Holmes, Superintendent instructed to put in reinforced concrete overbest over the Cajon Canal at West end of new covered ditch near upper Kansas house. Secretary instructed to send out notice of adjourned meeting to be held July 30 at 10 a.m. Secretary Fraser of the Anaheim C. of C. same before the board requesting extension to the Anaheim C. of C., but owing to the fact that this company is a mutual concern and the majority of the stockholders live outside of Anaheim request was denied.

The General Petroleum, the company discovering and putting the Tonner field in Brea Canyon on the map, has but one well drilling in that field now. Tonner No. 1 redrilling and deepening at 2150 has drilled thru almost 500 feet of oil sand and looks like a big well. The Union Oil Co. of Calif. has slowed its development work to one well in Brea Canyon, Stearns No. 82 held with a fishing job, made 3450 feet of hole. About 100 feet of drill pipe is in the pole. Three rigs are standing, and grades for five more have been made. It is understood no further development work will be done by either the General Petroleum or Union Oil Co., until the oil industry takes on a more active aspect. Both companies own their respective properties and are at liberty to drill them at their convenience. Olinda, California's first commercial oil field, still continues to furnish producers. On the Santa Fe property the Petroleum Development Co. completed No. 92 at 3004 and put it on as an 80 barrel well. No. 95 is drilling at 2955 and looking very good. No. 94 at 2500 feet is showing oil and gas. No. 95 is a rig. Huntington Beach is not the only field that falls now and then to get a water shut off. The West Coast Oil Co.'s failed to get the water shut off on No. 83 at 1500 feet and the BUENA PARK, July 20.—(Spl.)

Mr. Evan Page of Alabra was 40 COMPANIES IN LONG BEACH FIELD Long Beach Field Long Beach is fast assuming the appearances and activity of a big oil field. There are some forty oil companies in the field, and 16 rigs dot the Hill. The structure of Signal Hill is regarded as the best in the state. There will probably be little or no water trouble in the development of this field. Wells can be drilled in two months, the production depth is about 3200 feet. The field being close to shipping facilities also makes it ideal. Various estimates and figures appear in the press on the production of the Shell Company's discovery well. In the present partially sanded up condition of the well it is making 600 bbls daily. It has shown a petition production of 1000 bbls a day. The Shell Co. is spudding in on Nesa No. 1, rigging up on Stakmiller, building rig on the Bab-Tucker, and Holist. Also grading for a rig at Wilbur No. 1. The Standard Oil Co. Bixby No. 1 is now making hole at 4400 feet. No showings have been struck that warrant the bringing in of a commercial producer as yet. It begins to look as tho the Standard will have to go deep into the oil sands if there are any there. Drilling on the San Martenas Oil Co. No. 1 is now at 1700 feet, the predominating formation thus far being shale and boulders. A location has been staked for No. 2 and work is starting on this well in a few days. A little difficulty was met with at the Signal Hill Syndicate with the putting in of the 11 inch casing that required a lot of extra reaming, but drilling is now at 500 feet in sandy shale. In less than a week the Sandburg Petroleum Co. completed the construction of derrick No. 2 and had the well ready to start drilling. No. 1 is past 2000 feet and is drilling in shale And boulders. Signal Hill shows the following concerns building rigs: The Great Western Petroleum Co., Huntington Owners, Oceanie, National Crude, Pipe Line Royalty No. 1. With completed rigs and rigging up well under way the Crest Oil Co., Coast States, Guaranty, and the Signal Hill Oil and Gas Co. are about... HISTORY OF THE RED MAN SERIES Mr. and Mrs. L.

Center St., Anaheim Phone 651 AGE TIRES D MAN SERIES THE CONQUEST BY "INDIAN" MILLER When Columbus discovered the red race, he discovered a people who differed from all others. They sang differently and danced differently. They were just as human, however, as the white race; but the Spaniards did not concede this and stuck to their opinion until the end of Spanish dominion in America—until the United States drove Spain from America. It was necessary for a pope to decree a few years after the beginning of the conquest that the Indians were of the human race and worthy of conversion. The Spaniard reasoned that God gave Christians dominion over all animals and everything else. They took to conquest, like a duck does to water, and slavery was a logical product. The Spaniards of today no longer seek to justify the conquest and the enslaving of the Indians. They realize that it was unjustifiable. They have seen that the minds and morals of men are changing for the better. Men are learning better to distinguish right from wrong.

In other words, men are progressing, for this is a day of progress. In tune with this spirit it is not strange that the House of Spreckels should add to its line a new tire of Cord construction.
