DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Plate Sins in gold. And the strong lance of justice hurtless-break: Arm it in rags a pigmy's straw doth pierce it—Shakespeare. AERIAL WARFARE IS TO BE FEARED IN FUTURE Recent tests under suspices of the U.S. army and navy departments indicate that warfare in the air and from the air must be reckoned with in future fighting by first-class powers, should there be any great wars in future. Since the sinking of the former German battleship Ostfriesland by U.S. Army aviators, who dropped on them bombs upon the warship, army, and navy experts have been impressed with the vital importance of developing great air forces, for offensive and defensive work in connection with the navy. Destructive an aerial raids were in the world war, they would be far more so should another world conflict come. The leading military nations are giving serious attention to the strengthening of their aerial armament, and steadily there is evolving of weaponry and methods which would make war in and from the air more destructive. The U.S., so long as it deems it necessary and prudent to keep itself formidably prepared for war, should be abreast or ahead of other nations in aircraft armament. The peculiar geographical situation of this country, the enormous damage that might be done by attacking its fleet, its shore defenses and its coast cities from the air, would appeal to an enemy power. Against such possible contingencies this country should prepare itself adequately. GEN. WOOD TO BE HEAD OF PHILIPPINES General Leonard Wood has accepted the proffer, by President Harding, of the governor-general-ship of the Philippines, according to reliable report. The acceptance is conditioned only upon the release of General Wood by the Univ. of Pennsylvania from the provostship of that institution, which he accepted recently. This great and patriotic seat of learning doubtless will give General Wood the desired leave, so death stalks thru Russia as it did thru Egypt in the days of the plague. Frightful indeed is the mortality among the children of that land. Thru the good offices of the American Relief Assn., headed by Herbert C. Hoover, 1,000,000 famishing children of Russia will be fed, provided the Soviet authorities act in good faith in releasing American prisoners. All Americans of humane instincts hope to see this relief extended quickly. Assurance is given that no part of the all will be in form to be utilized by the Soviet government for its own political ends. The assistance to be given will go directly and unconditionally to the famishing children and it will go as America's offering in the cause of humanity. RELIEF FOR CHILDREN OF RUSSIA OFFERED If the ruling powers in Russia will release Americans held in prisons in that country and conform to other reasonable conditions, the American relief administration will undertake at once to extend suzstan-tial aid to starving children in Russia. Herbert C. Hoover, at the head of this organization has renewed the proffer to Maxim Gorky, in Russia—the offer that was made several months ago. If the Bolshevist regime in Russia sincerely desires assistance from this country, it has its opportunity to obtain it. The conditions imposed are quite within the range of reason and fairness. American prisoners should be set free, as they are held, it is believed without just cause therefor. One million children of Russia will be fed and provided for with dispatch provided these conditions are met by the Moscow authorities. This will be a fair test of the good faith and humane impulses of the Bolshevist rulers. The greatest blessings in life come "without money and without price," and without special effort. This impels many to esteem them lightly. There is health, for instance—the greatest of boons. Yet to flout it, and endanger it and treat it shabbly is the commonest of practices among the people.

WOOD TO BE HEAD OF PHILIPPINES General Leonard Wood has accepted the probber, by President Harding, of the governor-generalship of the Philippines, according to reliable report. The acceptance is conditioned only upon the release of General Wood by the Univ. of Pennsylvania from the provostship of that institution, which he accepted recently. This great and patriotic cost of learning doubtless will give General Wood the desired leave, so that he may serve the nation and the Filipinos, with the beneficent results that confidently are expected from his administration. The work in the Philippines is in itself a gigantic task, worthy of the talents of a man of General Wood's caliber. The islands are in bad shape economically and politically. To bring them out of the turmoil—to tranquilize them and to put them on right paths—will require statesmanly acumen, great tact and marked executive abilities. These General Wood has. But in addition to redeeming the Philippines, General Wood will be of invaluable service to his country in standing as a sentry on the far eastern outpost, to keep the U.S. informed as to developments in the Orient and to give advice on issues and situations which may arise in that quarter of the wide world. AID FROM AMERICA FOR RUSSIA'S BABIES The Russian soviet authorities have agreed to release American prisoners, it is said unofficially but on good authority. In return therefor the American Relief Assm. is to send aid to starving children in the famine districts, and the sovlot leaders will accept this proffered relief. It is to be hoped that no hitch will occur in this manifestly humane undertaking. Famine conditions in Russia seem to be appalling beyond words to describe. Multitudes are famishing. Letters From People Riverside, Cal., Aug. 3, 1921. The Plain Dealer: The Riverside Chamber of Commerce has called the attention of the Interior Counties Committee to the fact that the city of Los Angeles, not satisfied with condemning water power already dedicated to public use in the interior counties and vitally necessary to the growth of this section of California, and not satisfied in holding thousands of undeveloped horsepower in the High Sierras; has also made formal filings upon the Boulder Canyon Dam Site on the Colorado River. This filing was made in Phoenix, Arizona, on July 19th. This committee therefore desires to call the attention of interior cities in the various meetings held by this league—which league is made up of officers and department employees of the municipalities it comprises, and that neither farming, horticulture nor industry outside the incorporated cities has any representation in it whatsoever. This committee is led to believe that the League of Municipalities is to be used, not for the benefit of the state, but for the aggrandizement of the city of Los Angeles while the rest of the state pays the bill—this through the taking over, not only of the Colorado River power on which the interior counties have already spent large sums of money, but also thrue the control of water power thru-out the High Sierras, which water power rightfully belongs to the use of all the people, but which has been filed upon and is being held to serve the ambitions of the city of One million children of Russia will be fed and provided for with dispatch provided these conditions are met by the Moscow authorities. This will be a fair test of the good faith and humane impulses of the Bolshevist rulers. The greatest blessings in life come "without money and without price," and without special effort. This impels many to esteem them lightly. There is health, for instance—the greatest of boons. Yet to flout it, and endanger it and to treat it shabbily is the commonest of practices among the people. Not until it is lost is it properly appreciated by many. When Lloyd George sallies forth in quest of a fight with Lord Northcliffe, he promptly is accommodated. He who once was hard tasted Alfred Hamsworth does not run away from a tilting of lances with the doughiest of them. If there are to be no more sky high salaries for screen stars—as William A. Brady says—then the aspiring fair one, instead of being exploited as "the highest salaried star in the world" must be content with being "the most beautiful woman in pictures. The United States is losing South American trade because of the high rate of exchange and because this country is not doing what it might and should toward financing trade with the Southern republics. American shrewdness sometimes is cross eyed and short sighted. Three fourths of the vast revenues levied by the United States government during the last fiscal year was expended on account of warfare. Whatever conduces to world peace and reduction of armaments is conductive to decreased taxation. Be a peace advocate—first; from principle; second; for the economic weal of this and other nations and for the lessening of tax burdens in every civilized land. Try Plain Dearler Want Ada.

The Camanch Co. took over Interior Counties Committee to the fact that the city of Los Angeles, not satisfied with condemning water power already dedicated to public use in the interior counties and vitally necessary to the growth of this section of California, and not satisfied in holding thousands of undeveloped horsepower in the High Sierras, has also made formal filings upon the Boulder Canyon Dam Site on the Colorado River. This filing was made in Phoenix, Arizona, on July 19th. This committee therefore desires to call the attention of interior cities and counties of the state to a telegraphic statement from Phoenix, Arizona, appearing in the public press, which reads in part as follows: "It (the filing by the city of Los Angeles) is the only such filling in the office of State Commissioner Norvell of Arkansas, who has been informed that the dam site and reservoir have been drawn from entry and that the Department of the Interior contemplates their use. The city of Los Angeles was represented by E. P. Scattergood, Trent G. Anderson and W. B. Robinson of the city's public service legal department. They stated that they appreciated all prior claims that might be possessed by the Federal Reclamation Service, but were seeking to place Los Angeles above all other applicants." It is understood that $100,000, largely furnished by the Imperial Valley already has been spent on the preliminary work for this development. The Interior Counties Committee wishes to call the attention of the state to the fact that the city of Los Angeles is evidently from this published statement attempting to again shut out the interior counties and obtain control not only of the high Sierras, but also of the Boulder dam within its white of the fact that Imperial Valley has already spent approximately $100,000 on the preliminary work. The Interior Counties Committee wishes to issue a very grave calling attention to the League of Municipalities' danger of being pointed out that Los Bureau men are all principal speakers This committee is led to believe that the League of Municipalities is to be used, not for the benefit of the state, but for the aggrandizement of the city of Los Angeles while the rest of the state pays the bill—this through the taking over, not only of the Colorado River power on which the interior counties have already spent large sums of money, but also thru the control of water power thrue-out the High Sierras, which water power rightfully belongs to the use of all the people, but which has been filed upon and is being held to serve the ambitions of the city of Los Angeles. The interests of the state are concerned far less with the "how" of the Colorado River power development than with the "when." is immediacy is of supreme importance to the vast territory involved. There is every good reason to believe that the purpose of Los Angeles is to delay rather than hasten the Colorado River project, but if the fact were otherwise, two factors would tend to postpone indefinitely its realization under Los Angeles direction and leadership; one financial and the other legal, since prolonged litigation will undoubtedly result from the adoption of the Los Angeles program of Colorado River development. The above data is sent you in hope that you will give your support to the state-wide movement inaugurated by this committee to curb the ambitions of Los Angeles, both politically and economically—politically because this city now dominates practically all the state offices, and economically because thru the selfish use of the state's resources, through lack of state regulation as to price of hydro-electric power, and through the city's exemption from taxation, Los Angeles is attracting to herself literally hundreds of factories and business enterprises that would otherwise be properly distributed throughout the state. This committee is of the opinion that the time has come when the city of Los Angeles should be placed under the control of the state railroad commission in order that business competition between the city of Los Angeles and the rest of the state may be placed upon a fair basis. Respectfully submitted. C. E. BROUSE. THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DE ALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA AMAL POTTER No. 2 IS DISAPPOINTMENT Richfield Potter No. 2 of the Amalgamated Oil Co. proved something by a disappointment. Drilled to 3508 feet and showing more real oil sand than any of the Amalgamated's Richfield wells Potter No. 2 came in only a 50 bbl well. Breen 2-A is out of the fishing job and ready to go ahead at 2285. Bayha No. 1 is drilling in the conglomerate at close to 2000 feet. Page No. 1 is redrilling at 1100 feet having lost some 1500 feet. Thompson No. 1 is building rig. The Dependable Oil Trust is drilling at close to 500 feet. Drilling was resumed a few days ago with the cable tools. In all probability a rotary will be put in later. The outcome of the Petroleum Midway's Richfield-Yorba No. 2 will have some bearing on the operations of the Dependable. The Fullerton Oil Co.'s Anaheim Union No. 1 stopped drilling at 4686 and a production test started to test out the possibilities of an oil sand sruck at 4660. Continuous balling for three days failed to show more than a color of oil. However the manner in which the water and sand is coming in is encouraging. There is a possibility of there being a lot of gas and oil behind the sand that has heaved in. The General Petroleum's development program at Richfield has been cut from 20 strings of tools to eight. In the Yorba Linda district four wells are standing cemented, and will probably not be opened for some time. In the Richfield district three wells are standing cemented. Hugo No. 3 is drilling at 2500, Marshburn No. 1 is making hole at 4000 feet in sandy shale. Yorba No. 1 has now been on a two weeks' production test and has shown no signs of oil. The well is pumping about 50 bbls of water. Three wells just on the eve of production at Richfield are being temporarily held up either with trace work under way or having to recement. The Placentia Pacific's situation at 3865 has been given a lot of study and a decision has been reached to the effect that the water is coming in around the 8 inch and a second cementing will be done early in the week. The showing of the Placentia-Pacific prior to the de- Wardman-Claxon No. 1 is one of the most consistent producers in the south. Production from this well is just like running so much oil from a storage tank every day. Completed four months ago and starting at 400 barrels the well has averaged this figure every day since W-C No. 2 set 10 inch at 2900 feet. No. 3 is building rig. No. 4 is drilling and is close to 2600 feet. No. 5 is a new well rigging up. The Standard Oil Co. is maintaining a strong development program in spite of the apparent petroleum slump. Drilling on the Kraemer No. 1 property includes two wells. Kraemer No. 2 shows no.12 standing at 3025. No.14 is drilling at 1300. No.13 is fishing at 2444 for 4 inch drill pipe. No.14 the next Kraemer producer is at 4485 and while not making a very strong showing will make a good well. No.15 stands cemented at 2995. Drilling on No.16 is at 2100 and No.17 at 450. Vejar, the deep test well, is only 100 feet short of being down a mile. Conditions are not very favorable. Loftus-O Bryan No.1 is another deep one making a bailing test at 5097. The Woldner Co., Ltd. got a successful water shut off on its No.2 at 3197 and is going ahead with the drilling at 3275. No.3 is a completed rig. Chapman No.1 has been flowing for two years and six months and is still making better than 500 barrels daily. No.6 brought in two months ago at 2800 is doing close to 2200 barrels. One of the most consistent producers on the Chapman lease is No.7, this well holding steadily at 660 for four months. Seven wells are drilling on the Chapman property. The depths of the wells drilling range from 1000 feet to 4100. No.5 this deepest is in the oil sand at 4056. No.10 is showing a lot of nice sand at 3300. No.11 is held with water trouble and had to be receamed at 3024. No.18 is making hole at 2875 and No.19 at 2800. On the Thompson-Goodwin lease No.3 is drilling at 1000 feet, Coyle Bogue No.1 was completed at 4125 and is being tubed for production Dickson No.1 is in the grey sand at 3865, Yorba No.1 is in the same formation at 3875, Coyle No.3 lost 500 foot of hole and is redrilling at 2551 Stern No.1 is in the oil sand at 3425 and looks very good, Stern No.2 cemented at 3125, Placentia Orchard No.1 is proving a slow and difficult well, drilling at 1700 feet in ALIEN REGISTRATION PROVES BIG PUZZLE Either the census takers who compiled figures for the 1920 census in Orange-co in 1920 overlooked some 1500 or 2000 aliens or the alien population of Orange-co has increased greatly since the census was taken early last year. The census report shows that when the census was taken there were 2,962 aliens in this county who, if they are still here with status unchanged, are subject to the alien poll tax of $10 per alien. In addition to this 2962 there were 254 whose status is not defined by the census. County Clerk J.M.Backs is receiving registration books from his deputies over the county today.The exact alien registration cannot be given for a day or two.Backs says it will run over 4500 possibly to 5000. County Assessor James Sleeper has appointed three deputies to collect poll taxes from the aliens registered in this county. These deputies, Fred Carrillo of Santa Ana, Frank Tausch of Anaheim, and Roy E.Geron of Garden Grove, will begin their collections within two or three days. County Clerk Backs is to turn over to Sleeper the books in which aliens have registered.The assessor's deputies will then go forth into the highways and byways as well as along residence streets of the cities and upon each alien registered a demand for $10 will be made.The taxes must be paid before Jan. Three Japanese appeared at the office of the county clerk and asked permission to register.Backs explained that the registration closed July 30,and that it was now too late to register.However,it is not too late to pay the tax,sоBacks sent the trio to the assessor Maurice Endarle collected $10 from each of the three men. PLACENTIA SHIPS 44 CARLOTS LAST WEEK The total output in carloads of oranges shipped from the two orange associations at Placentia last week numbered44This does not include those shipped by one other independent company.. been on a two weeks' production test and has shown no signs of oil. The well is pumping about 50 bbls of water. Three wells just on the eve of production at Richfield are being temporarily held up either with trace work under way or having to recement. The Placentia Pacific situation at 3865 has been given a lot of study and a decision has been reached to the effect that the water is coming in around the 8 inch and a second cementing will be done early in the week. The showing of the Placentia-Pacific prior to the development of the water warranted the prediction of a good well. The Placentia Oil Co. drilled out the cement at 2860, made a test and found that the water had not been shut off. It is the intention to recement at once. Here as in the Placentia-Pacific a very good showing of oil was struck, the depth being at 2900. The Richfield Giant's advent into production is to be temporarily delayed. Here as in the Placentia-Pacific it is believed that the water, not a very great quantity, is coming in around the 8 inch shoe. A second cementing of the eight inch will it is thought solve the Giant water problem. The Petroleum Development Co. is not meeting with a great deal of success drilling deep wells on the Bradford property at Richfield. No. 3 finished up at 4361 is doing only 25 barrels. No. 5 drilled to 4265 is making approximately 200 barrels. Bradford No. 1 is the best producer so far. Drilled to 4117 No. 1 is doing 240 barrels. Bradford Community No. 1 drilling at 4755 is in brown shale and not looking anything extra. Richfield No. 2 dropped of 50 barrels and is now making about 150 bbls. Rigging up has started on Richfield No. 3. The Petroleum Midway is building up a big production at Richfield. The latest success of the company is a 500 barrel well at Krug No. 3. This new well was completed at 2935. Krug No. 2 came in a couple of weeks ago at 500 and has increased this production to 625 barrels. On the Yarnell property No. 9 is next in line for production. At 3400 this well is in hard sand. Carter No. 1 drilled to 3800 is on a bailling test. The Petroleum Midway has made a couple of nice wells out of Richfield Consolidated Nos. 1 and 2. Both these wells are now averaging better than 100 barrels. Drilling at Richfield-Yorba No. 2 still continues. At 4586 the formation still shows the sandy brown shale struck soon after leaving the 4000 mark. The history of California development has proven that for the most part there is little possibility of getting a producer after leaving the 4500 foot mark. The only deep well of any consequence in the south is the Union's Meyer No. 3 producing 90 barrels daily of 37 gravity oil at 4595. The Camanche Oil and Refining Co. took over the holdings of the trouble and had to be recemented at 2024. No. 18 is making hole at 2875, and No. 19 at 2800. On the Thompson-Goodwin lease No. 3 is drilling at 1000 feet, Coyle-Bogue No. 1 was completed at 4125 and is being tubed for production. Dickson No. 1 is in the grey sand at 3865. Yorba No. 1 is in the same formation at 3875, Coyle No. 3 lost 500 feet of hole and is redrilling at 2551. Stern No. 1 is in the oil sand at 3425 and looks very good. Stern No. 2 cemented at 3125. Placentia Orchard No. 1 is proving a slow and difficult well, drilling at 1700 feet in hard conglomerate. Ayers and Parsons No. 1 is at 3110 and is making a lot of oil. As soon as the water test is passed on this new well it will go on production. ALLEGED SMUGGLING CRAFT DISAPPEARS Disappearing completely, as they had been swallowed by the waters of Newport harbor, the crew of Orientalts and their mysterious craft believed to be engaged in smuggling Japanese into the U.S. from Mexico thru Orange-co's seaport, were still objects of an intensive search today. There were four Japanese and two Chinese in the party, according to reports. They were quartered at the Balboa Pallades tavern, it was reported to City Marshal J.A.Porter, of Newport Beach, who said he had heard that the Orientalts were well dressed and spoke English with but slight accent. Their boat was described as a large gasoline launch, sturdily built for coastwise cruising. A government revenue cutter dispatched from San Diego continued to scour the shore line today outside the harbor. Immigration officials were endeavoring to trace the allens. SUCCESSFUL WATER SHUTOFF The Bixby Hills Syndicate had no difficulty in getting a water shutoff at 4190 and is now ready to resume drilling. The formation is showing a nice brown shale. The National Exploration Co.is recovering its lost Chino well with remarkable speed. Drilled at first to 1300 feet, pipe troubles caused the loss of 900 feet of hole. Drilling is now at 700. Olinda No.1 is making hole in brown shale at 2900 and is looking rather good. Have You Seen It? The Vesta Special — The Best Storage Battery value in the world. Have You Seen It?
