Or shall we bind the poor man in his fetters. And let the rich go revel in his crimes? —Charles West, Thompson. LOS ANGELES TEAM SOLD TO WM. WRIGLEY Of unusual interest to followers of the national game on this coast is announcement of the impending sale of the Los Angeles team of the Pacific Coast League to William Wrigley Jr., the seller being John F. Powern, who has held the controlling interest in the team since 1914. John F. Powern ("Johnny" as he is familiarly known), has hosts of friends all over this coast who regret to see him leave the helm of the Los Angeles team. Since he acquired the club it has won one pennant and has been in the first division every other season except its pennant year. Mr. Powern accomplished the seemingly impossible in inducing Frank L. Chance, one of the most spectacular baseball managers in the country, to manage the "Angels" until poor health compelled him to relinquish his managing position. In a word, Johnny Powern has made the Los Angeles team a fighting, winning organization and he has used his influence at all times for clean sport. But in losing a popular, clean sportman-owner, the Los Angeles team gains one of the same general type. William Wrigley believes in sprited, clean baseball. He will keep the "Angels" burnished up and playing in a way to intensify interest in the game on this const. When men of the calibre of John F. Powern, William Wrigley and Charles Graham interest themselves in the ownership and management of baseball teams, the sport is put on a plane worthy the respect and patronage of the public. BUILDING OF GARAGES EXCEEDS HOUSES up, the country over. As Secretary of Labor Davis points out, there is a lagging in house building that is not a favorable phase of the general economic situation. The number of families steadily increases. But the number of new dwellings does not increase proportionately. The fact that there is a dearth of residences, and that the sortage cannot be overcome for several years, at best, should be an inducement to investors to build. For even though the cost of construction may be a bit stiff, yet the assured income from rentable property, or the liberal margin on residence property offered for sale, should be attractive to investors. Here in So. Cal., is the storm center of building activities. Records are being made, right here at home, and Los Angeles is running away with itself in volume of building. This constructional activity here, with promise of continuance, is one of the bright pages in the economic story of the day, in this city and section. AMAL. IS DRILLING FIVE IN RICHFIELD Placentia-Richfield The Amalgamated Oil Co. has five wells drilling in the Richfield district. Breen 2-A shows 1800 feet in blue shale. Drilling on the Bayha is at 2450 in the conglomerate. Mann No. 1 is redrilling at 2355. Page No. 1 is also redrilling and is at 1825. Thompson No. 1 the new well is now making hole at 765. At 4125 feet the Clark Oil Co. set pipe at Wetzel No. 1 and made a successful shut off. Drilling will now go right ahead. Drilling with cable tools is now at 700 feet on the Dependable Oil Co.'s Richfield well. No. 1. Drilling is going ahead as rapidly as careful and conservative work will allow. The Fullerton Oil Co.'s deep Anaheim Union well drilled to 4686 has been on the pump for the third week and to date has not shown anything except a little water. Testing out is being done at 4475. Practically BUILDING OF GARAGES EXCEEDS HOUSES While the construction of garages throughout the country seems to exceed in numbers the construction of family dwellings, yet this in itself is not a discouraging sign, but rather an indication of widespread prosperity and general confidence in conditions. The people would not build garages if they were not in easy circumstances, with good prospects. It is regrettable, however, that construction of dwellings does not brisk ARCADIA WILDCAT PIPE SET AT 3149 Montebello Drilling out the cement at the Arcadia wild cat will take place in a few days. The pipe is setting at 3149. The Columbia Oil Producing Co. has Adobe No. 5 making hole at 3500 in hard shell and Scott-Arnold drilling at 2945 in shell. The La Merced Oil Co.'s Manly No. 1 is tied up with a fishing job at 2750 and Calkins No. 1 stands at 2746 with the water not off. At 3450 feet the McGinley Oil Co. completed No. 11 and put the well on a production test. While no settled production figures are yet available the well looks good for 300 or 400 bbls. No. 13 is drilling in the hard sand at 3475. No. 14 is building rig and No. 15 is located. The Petroleum Midway has two wells drilling on iron at Montebello, Baldwin 7-A is milling on pipe at 1900 and Baldwin No. 11 at 3000. Pluma-Briana No. 2 showed some water at 3535 and was recemented. Drilling at 4240 feet the St. Helen's Petroleum Eggleston No. 1 is showing quite a lot of oil and gas. Monterey No. 5 has settled down to 200 bbls. This well was completed at 3345. The Standard Oil Co. has Baldwin No. 55 drilling at 2500 feet in hard sand. No. 57-A the deep test well is cleaning out at 3700. On the Temple lease No. 14 is making hole at 3800. The Western Pacific Oil Co. has practically completed the redrilling and sidetracking of tubing and will be ready to drill deeper from 3100 feet on. If it's from Witman's it's good! KNOW PRODUCTION OF William Wrigley believes in spilted, clean baseball. He will keep the "Angels" burnished up and playing in a way to intensify interest in the game on this const. When mon of the callbre of John F. Powers, William Wrigley and Charles Graham interest themselves in the ownership and management of baseball teams, the sport is put on a plane worthy the respect and patronage of the public. Drilling with cable tools is now at 700 feet on the Dependable Oil Co.'s Richfield well. No. 1. Drilling is going ahead as rapidly as careful and conservative work will allow. The Fullerton Oil Co.'s deep Anaheim Union well drilled to 4686 has been on the pump for the third week and to date has not shown anything except a little water. Testing out is now being done at 4475. Practically all hope of getting a producer has been given up. Drilled to 3247 feet the General Petroleum is putting Davis No. 1 on the pump. Nothing big is expected. Jones No. 1 at 4073 feet is fishing for lost pipe. Yorbs No. 1 has been on a production test for three weeks and today has not shown any oil. Hugo No. 2 shows 3270 feet of hole and is circulating to free the casing. On the Bradford lease the Petroleum Development Co. has two wells drilling. No. 2 Bradford is at 3675 in brown shale. Bradford Community No. 1 drilled to 4750 has been plugged back to 4296. Drilling on Richfield No. 3 is at 975 in hard conglomerate. The Petroleum Midway's Krug No. 4 came in yesterday one of the biggest wells in Richfield. Drilled to 3036 feet this gusher started off doing 1200 barrels. With Krug No. 2 doing better than 600 and No. 3 doing 500 barrels the property is proving one of the best in the field. Yarnell No. 9 is making hole at 3700 feet and is in brown shale. Carter No. 1 passed water inspection and is now drilling at 3955. Isaacs No. 2 shows 2450 in brown shale. Richfield-Yorba No. 2 still stands cemented at 4157, total depth being 4675. Consolidated No. 4 is drilling at 1900. Richfield Consolidated No. 3 completed last week has settled down to 100 bbls. The Richfield Giant Oil Co. set cement around the 8 inch shoe at 3922. This cementing is expected to solve all the water difficulties and enable the well to go on production within the next ten days. The water trouble has been a little perplexing and required time to work it out. The Camanche Oil Co. has succeeded in getting the Richfield Union Petroleum Co. cleared out to bottom and is ready to drill new hole now at 3185. The leak in the pipe at 625 was cemented successfully. Believing that the sand has filled in and stopped the perforations the Richfield-Yorba Oil Co. will re-perforate making the holes larger. At 3385 the well is producing about 50 barrels, and no doubt would do better were the conditions better. At 3775 feet the Ridge Oil Co., today is showing its best andbiggest showing of oil since the well started drilling. The showing has caused some excitement and there is every reason to believe that the Ridge will The Standard Oil Co. has Baldwin No. 55 drilling at 2500 feet in hard sand. No. 57-A the deep test well is cleaning out at 3700. On the Temple lease No. 14 is making hole at 3800. The Western Pacific Oil Co. has practically completed the redrilling and sidetracking of tubing and will be ready to drill deeper from 3100 feet on. KNOW PRODUCTION OF REDONDO WELL SOON Redondo-Inglewood It will only be a matter of a few days now until the production capacity of the Redondo discovery well is known. The Chanslor Canfield Idway Oil Co. is rushing tanks and sumps to take care of the production. Drilled to 2995, bridged back to 2,782, and drilling into the oil sand 13 feet the well made a flow and was shut in. With mud and water filled in to cap the well, oil is boiling out over the top of the pipe. As soon as the 8 inch carrying perforated pipe is landed the well will go on production test. The water shut off will be determined in a production test. The Standard Oil Co.'s Bohon No. 1 at Hawthorne has reached a depth of 4800 feet without finding any oil. The chances for this well coming into production are getting rather small. At Gardena the Union Oil Co.'s Commets No. 1 is drilling at close to 3800 feet and the brown shale and shell formation is not carrying any oil. No. 1 Francis at Redondo spudded in and started drilling. Kitselman's No. 3 Hicks is now getting near 4000 feet and the sand and shale found at this depth is not carrying any oil.

The powwows came the representa-t at the place previously fixed upon. From each tribe. The parties ap-ay paces of each other. It was seen armed to the teeth. Each one had aammunition. Upon the ground except the head these two chiefs advanced to the mid-wening between the two parties and motion in a low tone. Two parties bandied jokes with each ally at them, no matter who the jokes were on. Looking back at that incident it seems very strange; men with loaded rifles field at the position of ready, joking with each other. Men who had always been bitter enemies. By direction of their chiefs the parties drew near together, form-ing a circle, or rather, two semi-circles brought together at the ends. The debates began, the warriors from each side taking turns. Hot-headed young men almost succeeded in turning that powwow into a hand-to-hand battle. Ominous motions were made; the cocking of guns was heard; but old men and chiefs intervened. The treaty was finally made; and men who had been enemies all their lives mingled freely. At the invitation of the Pueblos that party of Apaches accompanied their old enemies home to the Pueblo village; and as a token of confidence in the given word of an Indian they left their guns at various houses until they should be ready to leave. Then they scattered throughout the village, the Apaches without weapons; but they were safe. They have ever since been friends. Today, motorists secure peace by purchasing dependable tires. The new Savage Cord is trustworthy and in reality a treaty of peace for tire troubles. Like the Pueblos and the Apaches, it will keep faith.
