SO. CALIF. EDISON SPENDING $1,500,000 IN ORANGE COUNTY "Over $1,500,000 is the proportion of the So. Calif. Edison Co.'s budget for 1923, allocated to the Santa Ana district, which consists of Santa Ana Anaheim, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Laguna, Newport and Orange, and the intervening territory," said District Manager W. L. Deliming today. "Of this, $1,150,000 will be spent in the High Sierras and upon the transmission lines that bring power to Santa Ana, and about $409,500 will be spent in the district itself. Out of the company's total budget of $26,000,000 for 1922, about $15,000,000 will be spent in the mountains for new power development and for transmission lines to bring the power to points of use. "A total of 125,000 new horsepower will be added to the system this year and a Sota Ana districts portion when connected up and made to do service for various purposes will be adequate to take care of 5,700 new houses, 54 new factories, and to provide for an increased population of 28,000; beside providing for more intensive cultivation of 28,000 new acres of land that could be made more productive by electric irrigation. "I do not believe, however, that this new provision for power, large as it is, will be more than adequate to take care of Orange Co.'s growth the next two or three years. These figures, which are based on well proven tables, illustrate how rapidly the community is growing and the responsibility which rests upon the utility which serves the public to provide new capital and build so as to take care of its electrical needs." New business additions are estimated to call for extensions of linen which will total up to $175,000." continued Mr. Deliming, "while $61,700 will be spent on renewals. At Newport a substation will be constructed at a cost of $20,000. New Radio Department So many questions have come to me, asking how it is that all these wonderful things we hear over the air can be received at such distances from the sending station, coming through walls, windows and all manner of obstructions, or to be brief, how does radio work? Fir this reason, I feel that it will be doing a service to the readers of this paper, if some simple explanations of the elementary principals of radio were explained, which will all the same time answer the many questions asked. I think that almost everybody in this day and age has at some time heard of the wave theories, used to explain many things which otherwise would be mysteries, but for the benefit of some who may be a little hazy about this I will tell of the transmission of sound first. When we produce a sound by speaking, hammering, or any other means we set in motion a series of waves; just the same kind of a wave you would find in the ocean if you were far enough from land. These waves are travelling along on the air, in fact, they are air waves which, when they strike the ear drum, transmit to the brain a message that we have heard sound, and being so familiar with it, know at once what caused it. It does not matter what obstruction they encounter, the air waves still penetrate, unless a specially constructed room is built, such as the so-called sound proof rooms, etc. Keep this in mind when we come to speak of other waves which can be produced by various means and which differ from sound waves, as for instance, radio waves, light waves, which will speak of next week. Q. Are there any receiving sets using crystal detectors with loud speakers? A. Yes, the Deforest Leflex circuit uses a crystal detector with radio frequency. Q. Is it necessary to have several wires in the serial? RICHFIELD'S SAND NOTICE (With Oil C) The quest for a deep field has so far metiment. The Standard drilled a number of failed to find anything O.

"New business additions are estimated to call for extensions of lines which will total up to $175,000," continued Mr. Deimling, "while $61,700 will be spent on renewals. At Newport a substation will be constructed at a cost of $20,000. New switching arrangements at Los Alamitos and at Fairview, will be erected at an expenditure of $108,000, while the Santa Ana Substation will be modernized. Increased capacity and production is to be provided at all stations and a modern new office will be provided at Orange. To erect a modern store building and garage, $31,000 is allotted, and a large amount of new feeder construction and old feeder reconstruction, reinforcements, etc., is provided. Speaking of the company's general budget of $26,000,000 for 1923, which has just been approved by directors, District Manager Deimling said: "The appropriation for 1922 of $22,000,000 was by far the largest that had ever been made up to that time by any western utility. The receipt of a large amount of cash from the city of Los Angeles in payment for the purchase of its Los Angeles distributing system, made possible a little speeding of even this enormous program. Actual expenditures for new construction for 1922 were $24,000,000, an average of $2,000,000 for each month of the year. The present budget exceeds that colossal total by another $2,000,000. Of this sum, about $12,000,000 will be spent in hydro-electric development in the mountains; about $4,000,000 for transmission lines and system to bring the power to the principal points of use, and about $10,000,000 for local improvements in the various districts, such as new distribution lines, substations, offices, stores, garages and improvements of this nature." CONTRACT FOR Y BUILDING Santa Ana's new $128,000 Y. M. C. A. at Sycamore and Church-ats., is expected to rise now, with the signing of the contract yesterday by Frank Hudson of Los Angeles, the successful bidder. Equipment is estimated at $60,000.

TROOP TWO NOTES (By Jack MacFaden) Trop Two, Boy Scouts of St. Catherine's school held their weekly meeting last evening and sent in their report to Santa Ana headquarters of the monthly list, which places them on the honor roll. They invite all other troops in town to "sit up and take notice." A program opened with two songs, "There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea," and "Ole' McTavish," sung in chorus by the boys. John Shea, senior patrol leader, who also is an Eagle scout, gave a talk on business matters and picked the athletic team for the contest with Troop Three in the near future. A boxing match between Morgan Fine and George Bock resulted in a decision for Fine in the third round. A wrestling match between Harold Boutletier and Paul Waldhubei brot a thrill and applause when the former was declared the victor after five minutes. Another boxing match between Clet Carricart ard Alex Martinez was won by the former in one round. After a few more songs all the boys pledged allegiance to the flag and repeated the scout oath, which closed the meetings. PREPARE TRUCK ORDINANCE The city attorney of Fullerton was instructed last night to prepare an ordinance regulating the loading and unloading of trucks on the streets of Pullerton and also regulating the switching of trailers. It is said that many trucks unload for the stores on the streets when they could just as well use the alleys. Keep this in mind when we come to speak of other waves which can be produced by various means and which differ from sound waves, as for instance, radio waves, light waves, which will speak of next week. Q. Are there any receiving sets using crystal detectors with loud speakers? A. Yes, the Deforest Leflex circuit uses a crystal detector with radio frequency. Q. Is it necessary to have several wires in the aerial? A. No. One wire about 150 feet long. The higher you put your aerial the better chances you have for picking up long distance.

A. WALKER Agent A. T. & S. F. Ry. Co.—Coast Lines Anaheim, Calif. Telephone 217 GRAND CANYON LINE RICHFIELD'S DEEP SAND NOT LOCATED (With Oil Operators) The quest for a deep sand at Richfield has so far met with disappointment. The Standard Oil Co. has drilled a number of deep holes and failed to find anything good. The S. O. Co.5s deep test well as Kraemer 1-15A is now past the 5200 mark and continues in shale and shell. The Union Oil Company's deep test well on the Graham-Loftus lease has had a battle on with water for a number of months and seems unable to overcome the difficulty. The Union well was drilled to 3920 and repeated attempts to shut off water at 3900 have failed. It is understood a number of outside operators have taken properties in Richfield figuring on the Union's Graham-Loftus 53 making good. The holders of these leases are now getting a little worried. The General Petroleum drilled its van Lew No. 1 at Torrance to 4610 feet in search for the deep sand that would bring new fame to the new field. The General Petroleum's venture met with disappointment, the deep sand was not there. Plugging back to 3675 the G. P. is attempting to produce from the top sand, but so far has only a water well. On the Dominguez property the Chanslor-Canfield Midway drilled a deep test hole and to date have had no success in developing lower sand production. These facts are not stated to belittle the field, but to call the attention to the fact that the writer has grave doubts about the Torrance-Bedondo field having a deep sand. If it falls it will be the first oil field in So. Calif. not to have a deep sand. The LaHabra Midway has taken on renewed hope and will drill its test well to 5200 feet. The drilling has passed the 5000 mark and to-date there have been no very strong indications or encouragements. The formation at 5007 is a light-brown shale carrying perhaps a little more sand than formerly. At Hellflower the Cal-Petro Pro Immunization Optional With Owner of Canine It is entirely optional with the owner of a dog whether he shall observe the state quarantine or have the dog animal immunized with vaccine.
