DISPEL ALL DOUBT OF TORRANCE FIELD All doubts about the future greatness of the Torrance oil field were dispelled by the two big wells the field produced this past week. The U.S. Royalities Co. brought in a well on Carson-ave, at a production record of 2500 barrels. The gravity of this new and latest wonder of the Torrance field registers 28.6, the highest the field has yet shown. The Chanslor-Canfield Midway Co. the discoverer of the Torrance field was honored with a nice well at Torrance No. 8 Running the U.S. Royalties a close second, the C.C.M.O. well came in at 2000 barrels and settled down to 1700. The gravity is better than 27 and is almost as high as the U.S.R.A.record well. The tense situation at Compton for the Julian Petroleum Corporation has been relieved. At 3975 slight showings of oil were found that lent the first real encouragement. However at 4006 showings were revealed that is believed now will soon place the well on the safe side. The Compton field is getting underway for big development. The Union Oil Company has three wells drilling the General Petroleum is about to start. Geo.P. Getty has started. Keck has 3500 feet of hole drilled on the Coast Line Consolidated; and the following concerns rig up, the Compton Oil Company, the Globe Petroleum and the Davis Macmillan Synd. Developments at Artesia are scheduled to be resumed in a few days. Before drilling can go ahead it seems that it is necessary to set a string of 6-14 pipe, taking care of the oil showings found at 4450 feet. Clearwater is getting ready to make a bid for oil honors. Fred Rheuther a Huntington Beach developer is putting a rig on the Huntington-Downey Clearwater Subdivision and intends immediate developments. The well is located south of the Santa Fe Extension now being drilled by the Keck Drilling Company and reported to have had some favorable showings at 3100 and 3200. Franklin H. Hamilton and associates believe that oil should be found north of Pomona and have started a well to prove their contentions. Mr. Hamilton is prominent in geological COLLOM RESIGNS AS STATE SUPERVISOR R.E. Collom has resigned as state oil and gas supervisor, effective Oct. 1. With the exception of an interval of one year and a half as petroleum technologist for the U.S.Bureau of Mines, Collom has been identified with the work of the Department of Petroleum and Gas in various capacities since 1915. He has been state oil and gas supervisor since January, 1921, and during that time has seen the oil production of the state increase from 325,000 to 870,000 barrels daily due to the intensive town-lot drilling of the gusher fields of the Los Angeles Basin. He leaves the state service to engage in the work of consulting petroleum engineer with headquarters in San Francisco. Oil field operations reported the week ending Sept. 22, show 28 new wells started, as compared with 24 during the previous week. The total new wells this year is 1048, as compared with 1021 the same date last year. Tests for water shut-off 38, compared with 39 previous week.

INTEGRITY SERVICE COMPARE The Maximum of Proved vs. Many Extravagant Costs of Superiority So many announcements of new model cars contain extravagant claims for the same superiorities that it is pushing to the buyer to know which value is real and which is only a claim. This year the issue has been confused by the introduction of mechanical changes, some of which have been rushed into production while still in the experimental stage—and then immediately given wide publicity.

W. Barnes, of the Stroup-Barnes Furniture Co., who returned last night from the east. "Winter has set in early in the Hawkeye state and already the old drum stove in the country store is the mecca for loungers," continues Doc. "I stopped at Creton, Iowa, in connection with settlement of my father's estate. The old town, while picturesque with its giant maples, hasn't improved a bit in all these years. The courthouse looks the same except that there is an occasional mud-spattered Ford interspersing the mud-matted horses at the hitching rack around the town square. "There are four barber-shops in the town but it didn't look as if the Iowans patronized them very liberally, whiskers being all the rage." "It took seven hours to drive a Ford nine miles into the country over the muddiest road I ever saw. We passed one other car, also a Ford. Both drivers swung off from each other in passing as far as possible to avoid a collision in the congested traffic. "I went on to Chicago and Grand Rapids to comb the furniture markets for the season's best offerings. "It rained, hailed, sleeted or snowed the entire time I was gone, even the last three days coming home on the train. "I'll tell the whole, wide world Anaheim looks good to me and I'm mighty glad to be back." U. S.
