There was a fair attendance. Leonard Evans presided as chairman. The address of the day was given by Professor Knox, of the Knox University of Efficiency, who talked on "The Greatest Thing Any Man Can Do." He declared that the greatest thing a man can do is still in the future; he may already be counted a very successful man, and that when he gets to the point where he thinks he can get no further he will get into a rut. But so long as he thinks he can do still better there is hope of a better future before him, and he will be yet more successful.

QUENTE HILLS WELL TO BE SUNK DEEPER Pacific Hills The showing that the Barden Oil Company's Puente Hills well at 2321 has made has been good, but it is believed that going deeper the well will be a big producer. It is now the intention to go ahead and drill deeper. The China Corona-United has succeeded in getting its well on production after drilling to 3475 feet. The well is making about 200 barrels of fruit, the ratio of oil and water running about 76 and 30 per cent. Continuous pumping is expected to reduce the water percentage. The Mahala Oil company got an O.K. on the water job at 2710 and is now drilling ahead in the brown sandy shale at 3225. Conditions for a producer continue to look excellent. The Paradona-Puente No. 1. drillirr at 1254 is showing considerable oil and gas and looks like it might come in before long. At the Garnier wall the St. Helena is having a lot of trouble. The first 100 feet of hole was lost on account of being crooked. Redrilling and geeting down to a 150 feet part of the 15% casing was lost and is now being fished out.
