REPORT BULLOCK ABANDONS LESSORS' CYPRESS. April 15.—(Spl.) It is reported that Mr. Bullock, who has held an option on the Lessor's Oil Co.'s derrick and a part of the Lessor's lease has abandoned all hope of securing acreage enough to justify taking over the property. The land owners joining the Lessors property would not lease without a prohibitive bonus, therefore off-set would be very expensive if the Lessors' well No. 1 was brought in. There is a report of Bullock leasing a block south of Cypress and west of the Lessor's holdings and erecting a derrick and proceed with drilling operations. The people are depending too much on the Standard well at Buena Park. That territory is far enough away that this territory will not be proven or disproven by that well coming in. The unexpected death of young Caldwell, who was electrocuted near Buena Park, brot great sorrow to the J.Kelly home, Mr. Caldwell was the youngest brother of Mrs. Kelly. An earthquake was felt by numerous Cypress residents Wednesday night. G.G. Priddy is painting his poultry buildings white. Smiling Earl Smith was doing the work till he slid off a roof and backed his shins. The erection of the walls of the Fuquay garage is under way. The Cypress school is having a week of vacation. Hello Folks: Went to the ball game the other day. Had to see how Vernon and Los Angeles lined up. Vernon is the same old team and if given good pitching will finish one, two, three. Los Angeles looks stronger than last year but as in the previous lack playing spirit. Killifter is in a wise ball player but don't get the playing spirit into his team. Esseck on the other hand keeps the Vernon players giving their best all the time. Los Angeles needs a third baseman and Vernon will be much stronger with Ping Body in right field. It's a grand old game if your team gets the breaks. SARGUM SPROUT.

Decreases, however, were registered for the month ending March 15 over the previous month. Denver showed a decrease of 1 per cent. From March 15, last year, to the same date this year there was a decrease of 13 per cent in Denver. Compared with 1913 figures, Denver still shows an increase of 26 per cent.

LAYNE & BOWLER CORP. 900 Santa Fe Ave., Los Angeles FARMERS DISCUSS SAVING OF WATER A joint meeting of the farm centers of northern Orange-co., including Anaheim, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Buena Park, Yorba Linda, Brea and La Habra, was held last night in the Fullerton east side grammar school building. A special program was given by the orchestra of the grammar school, and there was a song by Julian Marshall of the Fullerton high school. The meeting was presided over by Dr. J. R. Schofield of Buena Park, president of the Orange-co. Farm Bureau, who also gave a short address on water conservation problems. The whole meeting was given to the discussion of this problem, and ranchers from all parts of northern Orange-co. were present. Dr. Schofield said that this is a problem which it will take a lot of hard labor, and some money to solve, and that it is a problem in which every man, woman and child in the county who drinks water are vitally interested, and he urged that a county-wide organization be formed to solve the matter before it grows more serious; and it is growing more serious year by year. Dr. Schofield made his talk brief in order that the other speakers might be given more time. H. E. Walberg of the county farm bureau, announced the big farm bureau picnic which is scheduled to be held at Orange-co., park on May 13, at which some very prominent speakers are expected to be present, among them Governor Stephens, William G. McAdoo and Dr. Walker, state president of the farm bureau. Barring unforeseen occurrences, those who attend the picnic can be assured that the Governor and Dr. Walker will be there, and Mr. McAdoo has promised to do so, unless called back cast in the meantime. The young folks will be entertained by the "Y." It is stated. Mr. Wahlberg also announced that the traveling farm bureau conference will enter Orange-co. May 19, and will make stops at Anahela, Garden Grove, and other points in the county and spend the night at Santa Ana. He urged that everyone possible see the conference land during their stay in New York, April 24—More than $400,000 in silverware, table linen, furniture, brass fittings and other expensive fittings has been stolen from some of the 134 United States Shipping Board Vessels moored in the Hudson river, according to secret service operatives. It was declared that many of the vessels, including some of the most exquisitely furnished of the shipping board fleet, which were set up near Peekskill, have been stripped of everything valuable except their engines. A skeleton crew is maintained on each ship, and a watchman is supposed to be constantly on guard. It is supposed that the loot was passed over the sides of the ships and taken away in motor boats.

Mesdames Berberek and Alice SANTA FE SPRINGS WAITING FOR NEXT Santa Fe Springs is waiting again for its next producer. The field has recovered from the thirst given it by the Amalgamated big Dallugge producer and speculation is now rife on where the next gusher will open up. The chances for the General Petroleum and Shell Co. being the next producers are about even. The G. P.'s Santa Fe No. 1 finished drilling at 3710 and all that remains to be done is wash the well out and bring it in. Santa Fe No. 1 is located just a little east of the big Bell well and should be a heavy producer. The Shell Co.'s G.H.N.No. 1 has been flowing some thrue the 8-in casing and is about ready to be brought in. The Shell well was drilled to 3700 feet. Some delay was occasioned by the parting of the six inch oil string. The Machris Brothers heavy lease holders at Santa Fe Springs are to drill three wells. On the Bandinif Petroleum Co.'s Off lease drilling is about ready to start. The Machris Syndicate No. 2 will develop a 200 acre property known as the Norswing. The Norswing lease is located near the Standard Oil Co.'s South Whitter Community property and is regarded as some of the best in the field. The Union Oil Co.'s two deep wells foreseen occurrences, those who attend the picnic can be assured that the Governor and Dr. Walker will be there, and Mr. McAdoo has promised to do so, unless called back in the meantime. The young folks will be entertained by the "Y." It is stated. Mr. Wahlberg also announced that the traveling farm bureau conference will enter Orange-co. May 19, and will make stops at Anaheina, Garden Grove, and other points in the county and spend the night at Santa Ana. He urged that everyone possible see the conference hand during their stay in Orange county. O. E. Steward, city manager of Anaheim, was scheduled to deliver an address but was sick in bed, and his lecture was read by J. F. Ahlborn, Anaheim post master, who also delivered a short lecture of his own later. According to Mr. Steward, it does not take a prophet nor a prophet's son to tell that unless a new source of water supply be found, the road we are now traveling will have an end. It was stated that there is now a difference of 12 inches in the rainfall and the present consumption, which is rapidly sinking the water level, and will comparatively soon sink it to sea level, when the fresh water supply will cease. The cement piping which was laid to prevent the waste by seepage has proved only a temporary relief, and we must have an additional supply or the limit of development is almost reached. Mr. Ahlborn showed maps to illustrate Mr. Stewart's lecture, showing how rapidly the water level has fallen within the last few years. It is stated that the pumping plants in Orange-co. have increased from 433 in 1910 to almost, or perhaps a little in excess of, 2000 at the present time. The water level rose higher in 1916 and again sank, and has been making mountain peaks since, with deep gorges between, during the floods. But the flood this year which was Miss Regina Sieber was an Anaheim visitor Tuesday afternoon. M. Chambers was in Anaheim Tuesday on business. Mr. and Mrs. Chambers with Mr. James attended the show Monday night at the California. Mrs. Ethel McCoy and Mr. H. McCoy were Los Angeles visitors Tuesday of this week. Mr. M. Moddox and Miss Regina Sieber, with Mrs. A. E. Sieber attended the hill climb at Capistrano last Sunday. Mesdames Berberek and Alice Cline of Los Angeles spent Saturday on West Coast with Mrs. C. H. Keen and family. Miss Marie Schacht who has been bookkeeper at the S. Q. R., for the past year has resigned and has accepted a position at Buick garage. as heavy as the 1916 flood did not raise the water level to the point it was before 1916, much less to the flood level of that year. It was stated that 30,000 inches of water are lifted in one day during the very dry season. At this rate, the supply is bound to have an end, unless replierished from some source. Mr. Ahlborn stated in his short lecture that a committee has been appointed by the Associated C. of C. of Orange-co., to investigate, but that it was found a committee of three could never solve such a large problem, and other men thrust out the county were drawn onto the committee, which now consists of 21 members. The committee has not reached any conclusion, however, he said. This committee appointed a special committee who recommended conservation districts, although this recommendation has not yet received action. Mr. Ahlborn said that the cities are just as vitally interested in this matter as the farmers, since if it is not solved Orange-co., will eventually revert back to the desert, and its population will vanish, and its citrus groves at the best will be planted to beans and barley, and business would be gone. However, he stated that the county has the water supply if it will only be developed. The county now has 45,000 acres in citrus groves, producing $20,000,000 of citrus fruits, and that if properly developed has the water supply to double this a number of times. The last address of the evening was an illustrated lecture by William S. Jones, of Claremont, who told of the work of water conservation in the vicinity of Claremont and Pomona. He stated that the first artesian well was drilled in this section of California by Arthur Hutchinson in 1875, and that this practice has since increased so rapidly that 90 per cent of the water supply of the Pomona district is being pumped, part of it being lifted from a depth of 400 feet. The level is rapidly lowering and the deficiency, he said, is due to drawing on the source and large increase in irrigated areas. He showed a map; Pay For a & Bowler whether you e or not is too important to exan Irrigator you are paying good pump so why not have costs more to operate and a Layne & Bowler.
