This is the tenth day that Mexico City has been without water, except what is carried in by wagon cr on the trains. This condition was brought about by the collapse of the water works, due to negligence.

The Anaheim Co-operative Orange Ass'n will begin Monday, after a delay due to rain. The Randolph Marketing Co. expects to ship no Christmas navels. It has lined up 35 or 40 carloads of navels, but will wait until the fruit is in better condition. The Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n resumed packing today to meet customers' demands.

The shipping organizations, faced already by a date five days nearer than usual within which they must ship to get fruit to the East by Christmas, have been delayed several days by the storm. Also yellow fruit isn't big enough and fruit of the right size isn't yellow enough, said Schureman. The car shortage is improved 50 per cent according to D. G. Maltyh So. Pac. agent here.

With Oil Operators Drilling operations at Santa Fe Springs during the past week seemingly set some boundary lines for the field. While these lines are still irregular and not permanently fixed their location is of some interest. The extreme north end of the field seemed to stop at the Coalinga-Mohawk's McClintock well, 5170 feet of hole failing to find a showing. The northwest end of the field is not showing any encouragement with the Union's Flood past the 6000 mark and no oil indications. The west side at the Elliot well failed to carry the Bell sand, and hope of production is now held in the finding of the Meyer sand. The east section of the field cannot carry much encouragement beyond the Union's Meyer 5 a wel down 4977 and in grey sand. Many believe that the Hamilton 4 well marks the south boundary. However this remains to be proven as yet. Operators are pleased with the frankness of the Elliott Petroleum Co. in announcing the finding of edge water in the No. 1 at 3364. The Elliott Petroleum Company will pull the 6¼ oil string and drill the well down to the Meyer sand. Elliott stating the conditions he found materially aides other operators, and will prevent others from duplicating the experience. An operator like Elliott is an asset to the petroleum industry. The Globe Petroleum Co. thru mechanical troubles lost their No. 1 well at 2045 and will make a commercial gas well out of it. The gaser will furnish all the fuel needed for subsequent development work and yield a lot of good gasoline. Globe Petroleum Brunson No. 2 is rigging up. C. C. Julian's No. 1 dropped considerably and preparations are being made to deepen the well and carry it on to the Meyer sand. No. 1 considering that it was drilled only a few feet in the sand and produced without an oil string made a wonderful showing. No. 2 is holding steadily at 2200 barrels, and should it decline it will be deepened too. Read Plain Dealer Want Adv.
