PLEASANT SURPRISE PARTY There was a surprise party last night at the home of Miss Wanita Simpson of Buena Park, in honor of her birthday. She had gone to the show and when she returned home the room was dark, and she turned on the lights, and lo! there were about 19 of her friends sitting there and laughing at her. The surprise party had brot their own eats. A game of forfeit was played, and the forfeit, together with a present from "the gang" was given to the smiling young hostess.

Irwin, who was recently voted a salary of $100 a month. Mr. Irwin has employed a private secretary to help in the work. DEBATING TEAM CHOSEN Elizabeth Reese, Virgil Shaw and Alfred and Florence Schofield have been chosen to represent the Fullerton high school in the county league debates, it is announced.

Yungbluth Home of Hart Schaffner & Marx Clothes "By All Means Get a Fit" ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA CLAIM BIG DAMAGE FROM OIL GUSHER Claims for damages against the General Petroleum caused by the getting away of the Black-Drake gusher at Signal Hill now aggregates more than a half a million dollars. The claims have been filed by property and resident owners whose lands and homes were exposed to the "rain" of oil that lasted thru the greater part of one whole day, last Saturday. The General Petroleum has a force of men cleaning up the roads, putting sand on the boulevards, and is making every effort to relieve the inconveniences the oil caused in the deluged area. The General Petroleum has the reputation of taking care of claimants satisfactorily and no one will be loser at Long Beach when the losses are figured up. Doubtless many of the claims filed will be exhorbitant, and the court will have to settle the figures. Each week sees new faces in the oil game at Signal Hill. The latest entrant to the field is H. F. Getty, head of the Minnahoma Oil Company. Mr. Getty secured the adjoining property to the United Oil Company's Jones No. 1 and has a rig in the course of construction. Getty is also understood to have secured valuable holdings at Santa Fe Springs and will be drilling a well there soon. The Jergins well on Signal Hill pre-sents a peculiar situation. The hole stands full of oil all the time. Swabbing and bailing causes the well to flow for a few minutes at a time, sometimes an hour. The conclusion has been arrived at that there is not sufficient gas to maintain a flow column, and the rods and tubing will be put in and the well put on the pump. Jergins No. 1 should make a 450 barrel pumper. The Interstate Oil Company of Newport and Midway fame will operate on Signal Hill. The Interstate has taken over the holdings of the A. T. Oil Company and will develop them on a fifty-fifty basis. The rig for the Interstate's first well is up. Official announcement has been made by the Petroleum Midway to the effect that it has taken over the flare box coat with its bead trimming is particularly interesting because of its youthfulness. EDISON WILL MAKE BIG DEVELOPMENTS Pres. John B. Miller today sent official announcement to District Manager W. L. Dumling that by action of its directors, the Southern California Edison Co. is authorized to spend $2,500,000 in 1922 for additional water power development and extensions to its transmission and distribution system. This is the largest annual budget appropriation in the history of the company. The total expenditure will include $10,951,900 for water power development; $3,333,000 for 220,000-volt transmission lines; $8,124,-615 for improvements and extensions to distribution lines and substations; and $125,285 for subsidiary companies. For the purpose of comparison with other large community improvements, it is interesting to note that the expenditures of the Edison Co. for this one year will approximately equal the cost of building the Los Angeles aqueduct, which was $23,000,000, the construction of which covered a period of over six years. During the 11 years the Los Angeles Bureau of Power and Light has constructed in connection with the aqueduct an electric system valued at $13,250,000. Bonds amounting to $13,500,000 voted to purchase the distribution system of the Edison company in the city of Los Angeles would make the total cost for the electric system of the city of Los Angeles $26,750,000. This is but slightly more than the Edison company's budget for the single year of 1922. In addition to its budget appropriation of $22,500,000 for plant additions, the company will disburse during the year $17,500,000 for operating expenses, wages, materials and supplies, interest and dividends, which will bring its total expenditures to $40,000,000 or more than $3,000,000 per month. Three thousand five hundred men has been arrived at that there is not sufficient gas to maintain a flow column, and the rods and tubing will be put in and the well put on the pump. Jergins No. 1 should make a 450 barrel pumper. The Interstate Oil Company of Newport and Midway fame will operate on Signal Hill. The Interstate has taken over the holdings of the A. T. Oil Company and will develop them on a fifty-fifty basis. The rig for the Interstate's first well is up. Official announcement has been made by the Petroleum Midway to the effect that it has taken over the Davidson Fifty-Fifty holdings and that the development of the property will be done on the basis signified by that name. This property looks good now. The General Petroleum's well painted it. The Sandburg Petroleum Company has a nice production on Signal Hill now. Sandburg No. 1 completed at 3200 has almost 400 feet of oil sand to draw on and is making 500 barrels steady production. The Sandburg Petroleum had a hard struggle, suffered lots of public criticism and went thru the dark days like a great many other companies. But now Sandburg has made good, his company has production, and the stockholders should be drawing dividends soon. Development work of great interest to Southern California will be started soon by the Torrance - Sandburg Petroleum Company at Wilmington. The new company headed by John Sandburg is capitalized for half a million, fifty one per cent of the stock will be controlled by the Sandburg Petroleum Company. A thousand acres have been leased, the property is located two miles north and west of Wilmington. Sandburg's ideal is to make his company and its interests over into another Ventura Refining Company. It is believed that the experience he has gotten on Signal Hill and his honesty and fairness will realize the ideal. The Shell Company's Horsh No. 1 completed at 2990 passed thru some 400 feet of rich oil sand and is ready to bring in. Indications are good here for a thousand barrel well. The Shell Company is finishing Pones No. 1 at 3105 and looks for a 500 barrel well here. The United Oil Company is now in the Long Beach production list. Denni No. 1 completed at 2891 is flowing and the actual tank gauge shows that the well is good for 450 barrels. Denni No. 1 is located on the top of the Hill. The Cal-Mex Oil and Refining Co. is going to get "over". The undertaker came pretty near getting Vern Duas its manager. Mr. Dumas was ill with typhoid fever for several months and during this time there was no one to push the interests of the company. Dumas is back now, he has closed a very good contract with R. W. Edens for the drilling of the first well. The financing of the company is going ahead nicely now. The Cal-Mex properties are all covered with oil now, and the showing of the G. P. well makes the Anderson Street hold. The share box coat with its bead trimming is particularly interesting because of its youthfulness. VALUABLE GEMS HAVE BLOODY STORY NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—A strange tale of romance, plotting assassinations and revolutions lies behind the litigation over a string of pearls worth $1,000,000 in the New York courts today. Mrs. Horace E. Dodge, widow of the wealthy, Detroit automobile manufacturer, is said to be present owner of the gems, which were originally in possession of Empress Catherine II of Russia. The jewels have a bloody history. Their royal owners were involved in intrigue and tragedy from generation to generation. Finally came the revolution, the massacre of the czar's family. The pearls were then put on the market. Horace B. Dodge purchased them, it is reported, from the Paris house of Benquist Brothers and the American house of Carter. Shortly afterward he died. Benquist is now suing Cartier for a share of the purchase price, $1,-500,000, after the sale. The defense is that the jewels did not bring $1,-500,000. The pearls are believed to have been worn by Mrs. Dodge when she was in New York recently. Many persons noticed the beautiful necklace, which was one of the most magnificent ever seen here. ONLY PRINTSHOP OF KIND IN KENTUCKY LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 26.—Louisville has a print shop such as is found nowhere else in the United States. Its books for elementary grades weigh fifteen pounds; its typesetting machines have only six keys, as compared with the ninety-odd combinations possible in the average typesetting machine, and a hammer and nail punch are the tools of the proofreader. Miss Susan B. Merwin, superintendent, says all this is true, and she prabably knows. The publishing house with these queer devices is the American Printing House for the Blind. HISTORY REPEATED NAB 3 L. A. MEN IN RAID AT BREA E. R. Rudy the Brea marshal made a raid on a gambling game in Brea last night, capturing B. Harris, Earl Stephens and Charles Sorenson, all of Los Angeles. They are being held in the Fullerton jail until arraignment. ANTELOPE VALLEY DRILLING PUSHED LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26. With oil flowing in the Antelope valley only a short distance from the tract of 168 acres held by the Rock Creek Development Co., plans were being pushed today more aggressively than ever by this company in order that drilling might commence soon. "We are working on a new plan," said F. J. Buschmiller, superintendent of the company. "The 168 acres of land has been divided into lots, which we are selling, giving a deed with each one. Experts tell us there is a reasonable indication that oil will be struck and each owner will get 40 per cent of the entire production. "This means that in either case the owners of the lots will get a return on their investment." Walker of Stockton-on-Tees, England, invented the friction match in 1829. Witman. Eyesight Specialist. HISTORY REPEATED In this Spring tailleur, of grey troutine, braided with silk of the same tone, the feature being the bell-shaped sleeves, so popular this season. Early in 1923 Big Creek Power Plant No. 3, which will have an initial installed capacity of 65,000 horsepower, will be completed. Located on the main branch of the San Joaquin river a little over five miles below Big Creek power house No. 8, the new plant will use the water from San Joaquin river and Big Creek through a total fall of 850 feet. Water will be diverted from the main river by a dam 125 feet in height, and will be conducted to the plant through a tunnel line 30,000 feet in length, and 21 feet square, which is being blasted through the solid granite of the mountain formation. With the completion of this plant the water from Huntington Lake will be used through four plants in series under a total aggregate of 5574 feet. Final plans for this power house call for six generating units, and a total capacity of 200,000 horsepower. Active work on the Florence Lake Tunnel, which will have a length of 13½ miles, and will be 14 feet square, is to go forward. This tunnel will be used to divert the water from the south fork of the San Joaquin river through the mountain range into Huntington Lake, where the water will be conserved in Huntington Lake and Shave Lake until it can be used economically for power production through the chain of power houses situated below these lakes. Construction on this large tunnel was started in the fall of 1920 and is planned for completion by the spring of 1926, at a total cost of approximately $12,-000,000. By increasing the water supply into Huntington Lake, Florence Lake tunnel will make possible the generation of an additional 560,000 horsepower in the power-houses located below Huntington Lake. The expenditures during 1922 on this tunnel will amount to $1.-800,000. LONDON, Jan. 26.—Political circles were stirring today at what seemed to be the first move in an attempt to unseat Premier Lloyd George was scented in the action of the Unionist reconstruction committee, which voted against a general election at the present time. Fred Stroushe of Fullerton underwent an operation today at the Fullerton hospital.
