HEAVY INCREASE TO HUNTINGTON BEACH BY ELWOOD J. MUNGER Huntington Beach staged no phenomenal producers during the past week, but the field did add a substantial increase. The Jameson Oil Company succeeded in getting the Linoleum producer back. Linoleum No. 1 redrilled and completed at 4720 is making better than 500 barrels, 24 gravity. The Petroleum Midway did its share for Huntington Beach this past week with two producers aggregating better than 2100 barrels. On the Columbia property the Petroleum Midway completed 3-2A at 5000 feet and got a 1050 barrel well. On the Paige property No. 1 was completed at the same depth and started off at a 1100 barrels. Both wells are producing good gravity oil. A review of the producers of the Huntington Beach field shows that the field is making about a 127,000 barrels daily. Considerable 31 gravity oil is now being produced in the field, and the big future for Huntington Beach seems to lie in its deep production which is just at present getting under way in development. When a Compton local paper made the announcement that the Union Oil Company had brought in a 2000 barrel well some real excitement was started. The well did not come in true to the big headlines of the local sheet but it did make a rather satisfactory showing. The Union has had for some time a lot of difficulty with water in the Compton field and this trouble has not yet been overcome. While making a water test early last week the Union's Calender well did show some oil, put some of it in the sump, on the ground around the rig, and some on the side of the derrick. As a little oil makes a big showing the casual observer would of course be impressed of a gusher. The Union Callender well is drilling at 2818, and taking core samples frequently, doing much careful exploring as drilling proceeds. At Montebello H. L. Whitson's test well on the Bicknell got a pronounced showing of oil at 2725 feet. COURTHOUSE NEWS Preston H. Drake of Santa Ana left reality valued at approximately $18,000 in the Polytechnic Villa Tract and Rincon de la Punta del Monte, according to the inventory and appraisement filed today. Judgment for the plaintiff was handed down by Superior Judge F. M. Jamison in the suit of C. R. Ward vs. the Fairview Methodist church. The plaintiff is owner in fee of the two lots in question, Nos. 1 and 2, in Block X Town of Fairview. Desertion on July 12, 1920, at Santa Ana is alleged by Grover C. Wilhoit in a suit for divorce from Garnet A. Wilhoit filed yesterday afternoon. They were married at Santa Ana on May 4, 1908, and have two children, girls of 14 and 11. Custody of the children is asked. The estate of Thomas M. Robertson amounts to approximately $700, according to the petition for probate filed today. It consists of approximately 220 acres of unimproved land in Kern County. MAKING PLANS FOR FLOOD CONFERENCE Arrangements for a conference of the supervisors of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino-co on flood control measures were begun today, when County Clork Joe Backs received a telephone call from Supervisor J. A. Pachard of Riverside-co announcing that the other two boards were coming to Santa Ana next Tuesday, when the Orange-co board convenes. Backs presumes that the matter of each of the three counties appropriating $5,000 for water spreading during the coming season will be the feature of the gathering. Chairman Francis Cattle of the Tri-County Reforestation Committee and other members of the committee, including J. J. Dwyer of Anaheim, are expected to attend. It was this committee whose methods because of its excellent results was copied by the three counties, and the latter's forces under George S. BOY S Reports from where more than 60 are at present, be Moomaw, indicate himself and prays boys are learning lessons in camping. One of the most is making handkerchief scrout knife. This that Scout Executive of San Bernardino-days in ramp last prize for the Scout-best article using oak. None of the Scout anything about the day night, altho all the ground. The camp is proper large number of when Dr. M. A Paythe camp committed members of his combers of the executive over Saturday night winner. Those who make the trip, in addition, are Harry D. H. S. C. Hartranft of P. F. Davia of Santa Ana Brown of Santa Ana son of Santa Ana, J. Of Garden Grove, Todd den of Anaheim, Alec Santa Ana, and other yet certain they can. So far more than officials have been Ro-Ki-Li, and it is not yet been overcome. While making a water test early last week the Union's Calender well did show some oil, put some of it in the sump, on the ground around the rig, and some on the side of the derrick. As a little oil makes a big showing the casual observer would of course be impressed of a gusher. The Union Callender well is drilling at 3818, and taking core samples frequently, doing much careful exploring as drilling proceeds. At Montebello H. L. Whitson's test well on the Bicknell got a pronounced showing of oil at 3725 feet. The showing while not big was the first real encouragement the well has made. Drilling continues and it is understood that 4200 is the mark set for something startling. When the La Habra Midway Oil Company stopped drilling a few days ago at 5440 the last of the trio of wildcats started to find oil between the Old Brea field and the Coyotes, have quit. The Geo. E. Cathcart Company on the Toller property has stopped at 5400, and the Petroleum Products Syndicate of Texas on the Gilbert property stopped at 4500. None of these three wells found anything, not even showings, and proved rather conclusively that there is no oil between the two fields. With the starting of a well at Murrietta attention of oil men will be drawn again to Riverside County. The Murrietta Oil Company is drilling a test well a mile and a half north of Elsinore. The Pugh-Miller Drilling Company has the contract and already more than a 1000 feet of hole has been made. Constraint to a prediction made on the well no granite has yet been hit. TRANSIT CO. WILL EXTEND ITS LINES Within perhaps a month, a new trip will be started by the Anaheim Transit Co., which will try to tap the east and south sections for the first time, according to C. E. Scutt, Scutt and O. C. Dwy own the company on equal shares. Whether the new trip will be permanent depends upon the amount of patronage it receives. The extension of service awaits the building of a second new bus now under construction. Only two buses will be used in the service, one proceeding as now from the former Anaheim sugar factory over Los Angeles to Center and west over Center as at present, the other northward from the south boundary over Los Angeles to Center and east on Center. Dwy and Scutt acquired the line last December, but the deal was not closed for a considerable time afterward. To deflate an automobile tire a simple device has been invented to be clamped to a valve stem to press the spring open. Backs presumes that the matter of each of the three counties appropriating $5,000 for water spreading during the coming season will be the feature of the gathering. Chairman Francis Cattle of the Tri-County Reforestation Committee and other members of the committee, including J. J. Dwyer of Anaheim, are expected to attend. It was this committee whose methods because of its excellent results was copied by the three counties, and the latter's forces under George S. Hinckley, City Engineer of Redland and those of the committee co-operated in the work the past season. RAPID SALES OF SUB-DIVISION Dome of Chino Valley Oil Co., sold 31 lots at the busy town of Chino since last Sunday, through its Orange representatives, Lamp and Gaines. The popularity of the lots is attributed to the drilling activities in the vicinity as the subdivision is surrounded by oil fields, four wells now being drilled. Interest is growing and it is not improbable that the lots will be closed out very soon. FANNING COMPANY. EXPANDS RAPIDLY Moving to the front part of the former marmalade factory at Santa Ana and S. Los Angeles-sta., A. Fanning & Co., formerly A. H. Fanning, will have approximately 25 per cent more space than before. The improvements will be completed this week. They have been occupying the rear part of the building since the business was opened on Jan. 23, 1922. The firm is employing 10 persons, partners included, compared with two or three at the start, and its business has more than doubled. It does a wholesale distributing business in Orange and northern Los Angeles counties. City Marshal J. A. Porter of Newport Beach is still City Marshal. The City Council denied a petition signed by 103 names circulated by Joel Wilson, ousted police officer. Proves Great Boon to Pile Sufferers No man or woman need suffer another day from any pain, soreness or distress arising from Hemorrhoids or Piles, now that a Rochester doctor's prescription, known to druggists as MOAVA SUPPOSITORIES, can be obtained for a moderate price. You'll be amazed to see how quickly they act even in long standing cases.

CHALLENGE BUTTER The Finishing Touch For chafing dish suppers and luncheons use this better butter. Challenge has that perfect butter flavor and the high food values of pure butter fat. CHALLENGE CREAM AND BUTTER ASS'N. Ask your dealer for CHALLENGE BUTTER BOY SCOUT CAMP NEWS Reports from Camp Ro-Ki-Li, where more than 60 Orange-co Scouts are at present, shot by Mr. W. A. Moomaw, indicate everyone is enjoying himself and practically all of the boys are learning some very practical lessons in camping and woodcraft. One of the most popular activities is making handicraft articles with the scout knife. This is due to the fact that Scout Executive George Walker of San Bernardino co-spent a few days in camp last week and offered a prize for the Scout who presented the best article using only his knife. None of the Scouts in camp knew anything about the earthquake Sunday night, although all were sleeping on the ground. The camp is preparing to receive a large number of visitors Saturday when Dr. M. A. Patton, chairman of the camp committee, expects to have members of his committee and members of the executive board in camp over Saturday night and for Sunday dinner. Those who are expected to make the trip, in addition to Dr. Patton, are Harry D. Riley of Anaheim, S. C. Harttransf of Fullerton, Charles F. Davis of Santa Ana, Robert L. Brown of Santa Ana, Verne L. Whitson of Santa Ana, J. M. Woodworth of Garden Grove, Thomas L. McFadden of Anaheim, Alex. Brownridge of Santa Ana, and others who are not yet certain they can make the trip. So far more than 200 scouts and officials have been in attendance at Ro-Ki-Li, and it is expected that the fourth period, which opens Aug. 1, will bring this up to 250. The feature of the third period, now in progress, was a moonlight trip to Dry Lake which is at an elevation of 11,000 feet and to Grey Back, which has an elevation of 12,000 feet. The boys left camp early in the evening, hiking through the wonderful moonlight to Dry Lake where they rested a short time and then just before day-break, hiked on to the top of Grey Back. In addition to the splendid array of local talent at the Camp-fires, the Scouts have been hearing some splendid radio programs from the radio set which has been installed in camp.

NEWS We noticed Duff, Ward and Mequire of Huntington Beach walking very quickly through the woods this morning, gazing up in the trees. We have an idea it may be Bird Study but everyone keep your eyes open. We may have to call Sheriff Jernigan to solve the mystery. Camp Ro-Ki-Li looked like a bee-hive this morning. With saws humming and axes swinging the cook's wood pile was greatly enlarged, much to his delight. Rakes, shovels and brooms played a big part in teh policing of camp and the parade ground. We notice many shining faces, clean hands and combed hair at mess this morning. We hope the rest of the bunch will fall in line. We notice Mr. Burkholder and Mr. Smith pitching a wicked horse shoe this morning. Look out, Mr. Teanay or you will lose your place as champion horse hoof slinger. Several of "Stubba" friends visited camp during flag raising this morning and after a careful inspection of the setting up exercises and thinking it was too dangerous to raid the canteen they skipped away. The camp committee is to be complimented on securing the services of such a cook as Mr. Grinand. The staff visited the cook house this morning and found a lively bunch of K. P., all working like bees and a smile on every face. They believe it is Mr. Grinand's cheery smile and friendly way that keeps the spirit up. If any of the staff is reported absent, look for them at the cook house. Thirteen First Class Scouts started to Mt. Anderson this morning with Doug and Morris and only 12 reached the top (one was Berry) and all of them enjoyed a fine time and on the way back collected several species of flowers for the Botany Merit Badge. Mr. Walker, who is Executive of San Bernardino, arrived in camp today. He will probably stay until the end of this period. The staff of this paper gives him a hearty welcome. They say that Mr. Burkholder is no INTEGRITY Studebaker Announcement THE STUDEBAKER CORPORATION OF AMERICA is pleased to announce its customers, friends, and the public generally, its 1924 Model Studebaker. Avoiding the superlatives frequently used in automotive Corporation desires to faithfully state the facts concerning reasons why the public should buy them. THE CARS In design, quality of materials, standard of workmanship, durability, refinements, performance, freedom from repairs, and price, the Studebaker 1924 Model Cars are distinctly the greatest intrinsic values the Corporation has ever offered. Every improvement the safety and practicability of which have been verified by engineering tests is embodied in these new cars.

FIRST AID HINTS When you start on a hike, eat plenty of candy and drink lots of H2O. CLUES POINT TO WOMAN The home of John Teebken, N. Claudina Street was entered early last evening during the absence of the family. The intruder is thought to have been a woman owing to the slender foot prints around the house. Entrance was through a window where the screen had been cut, then removed. A gold watch and knife were removed from a pair of trousers. A drawer containing silver was opened but nothing was missing. The thief was probably frightened away. GOOD YEAR Service Station THERE is a differ-ence in tires. Only the new Good-year Cord Tire is made of highest-grade, long-staple, high-tensile cotton, built up by the Goodyear patented group-ply method, and equipped with heavier sidewalls and the beveled All-Weather Tread. The difference shows in the Goodyear's longer wear and lower cost per mile. As Goodyear Service Station Deniers use sell and ream-nair all the rest Goodyear Cords with the beveled All-Weather Tread and back them up with standard JAMES, THE VULCANIZER, 223 N. Los Angeles St. GOOD YEAR Los Angeles Made for Western Trains SERVICE Replacement AMERICA is pleased to announce to generally, its complete line of new Studebaker Cars used in automobile advertisements, the the facts concerning these cars and the m. almost ideal manufacturing conditions. In our judgment it stands out as the greatest value and the closest approach to mechanical perfection in moderate priced cars yet produced. THE REASON WHY With $90,000,000 actual net assets and $45,000,000 invested in plants, Studebaker has ample physical facilities to manufature most economically. Studebaker's organization of manufacturing executives, engineers, metallurgists, chemists, inspectors, and skilled mechanics is second to none in the industry. The design of Studebaker cars and the workmanship upon them conform to the highest principles of engineering standards and mechanical practice known to the industry. Best of Materials Used Studebaker cars contain the finest known grades of iron, steel, aluminum, tires, electrical equipment, glass, bearings, etc. No better materials for automobile manufacture exist. Sheet aluminum has but one-third the tensile strength of sheet steel, and consequently, Studebaker uses sheet steel for its bodies. Best of Materials Used Studebaker cars contain the finest known grades of iron, steel, aluminum, tires, electrical equipment, glass, bearings, etc. No better materials for automobile manufacture exist. Sheet aluminum has but one-third the tensile strength of sheet steel, and consequently, Studebaker uses sheet steel for its bodies. For the manufacture of drop forgings, castings, stampings and the machining, assembling and finishing of motors, axles, frames, transmissions, bodies, tops, etc., and the consequent elimination of middlemen's profits, coupled with lower overhead factory costs per car arising from quantity production and low commercial expenses Studebaker's costs are kept at an economically low point possible of attainment only by manufacturers with vast physical and financial resources. Bodies Unexcelled The bodies of Studebaker cars are not excelled for quality of materials and craftsmanship, by any cars on the market. The Coupe and Sedan closed bodies are magnificent examples of the coach builder's art. Merit Wins The sales of Studebaker cars for the past six years have shown each and every year a progressive increase. 81,880 cars were sold in the first six months of 1923 as against 60,053 for the same period last year. Only products of merit can make such growth. ER CORPORATION OF AMERICA A. R. ERSKINE, President D. RILEY Anaheim, California
