TORRANCE FIELD EXTENDED EAST With the bringing in of the Standard Oil Co.'s Dominguez No. 1 at Torrance the east limit of the field was moved out another mile, and the Torrance-Lomita field made 5 miles long. Dominguez No. 1 was complete at 3800 feet and judging from the gravity of the oil it being 20, the well would seem to indicate that the field is close to its eastern boundary. Drilling at 5100 feet the Standard's Felkner well is endeavoring to open up a deep sand for the northwestern section of the field. To date the showings have not been particularly good and the outlook is not very hopeful. Torrance's banner well for the past week was Post-Houts 1 completed by the Petroleum Midway. Drilled to past the 3700 mark, this well came in at 1100 barrels and is maintaining its initial production with ease. The Petroleum Midway's Lewis 1 the wildcat of the northeast section of the field is at 3700 feet and thus far has not had any very strong oil showings. The Petroleum Midway's Torrance production is now running close to 2000 barrels daily. East end operators of the Torrance-Lomita field are pleased with the showing the Sentinel Oil Company's Joughin No. 1 is making. At 3640 a production test was made and the well made a flow of oil sufficient to insure a commercial producer after a little more hole has been made. The U. S. Royalties company seems to set the pace for big producers in the Torrance field. A few weeks ago the U. S. startled its neighbors with a 2500 barrel well that later settles to 2000 barrels. This week the Royalties company completed its No. 10 at 3765 feet and the well started off strong at 2200 barrels. The oil is a shade better than 27 gravity and is the highest the Torrance field has yet produced. LIGHTHOUSES AT NEWPORT HARBOR Not only has the government shown its interest in the development of Orange-co. harbor by ordering a re-survey but it has through the lighthouse service already begun to throw real light on the harbor by the construction of beacons for the guidance of ships. This information became public at the meeting of the A. C. of C. at Huntington Beach when Lew Wallace, former Secretary of the Orange-co. harbor commission outlined the steps being taken to bring Newport Beach shipping possibilities to the attention of the commercial world. Mr. Wallace said that the erection of the two lighthouses on the jetty and another on Rocky Point, Bailoa Pallisades, was the first step toward the actual betterment of the harbor for shipping. COLORADO NAMES ROAD FOR HARDING DENVER, Dec. 14.—The late President Warren G. Harding's memory has been honored by the Colorado Highway Commissioners. By resolution, adopted recently, the state highway, leading to the summit of Mt. Evans, 40 miles west of Denver, in the heart of the Rockies, has been designated as the "Harding Highway." The late president, during his stay in Denver, while en route to Alaska last summer, expressed great admiration for the scenic splendors of Colorado, and it was this sentiment that prompted the naming of the highway in his honor. The grandeur of the scenery that is being opened up by the road up Mt. Evans is unsurpassed, even in the Switzerland Alps, according to members of the Highway Commission. Completion of the road, 10 miles of which is already open to automobileists, is expected by the end of 1924, when it will have been constructed to the base of Santa Will Travel On U. P. Christmas. "Mamna, doesn't Santa Claus ever come to a railroad train?" The U. S. Royalties company seems to set the pace for big producers in the Torrance field. A few weeks ago the U. S. started its neighbors with a 2500 barrel well that later settled to 2000 barrels. This week the Royalties company completed its No. 10 at 3765 feet and the well started off strong at 2200 barrels. The oil is a shade better than 27 gravity and is the highest the Torrance field has yet produced. The daily production of the Torrance field now runs close to 350,000 barrels, the field is moving ahead conservatively, and seems to have the making of a great oil field. UNCLE NEEDS INK Uncle Sam no longer gives away free garden seeds, but ink in the postoffice lobby is still free. If you bring your own pen, because it's best not to depend on a postoffice pen, you can write all you want. Uncle has just advertised for purchase of 60,000 quarts of ink for postoffice lobbies. That ought to drown a few semicolons. Plain Dealer Classified Ads Always Bring Results PAULEY OFFICIALS ANAHEIM VISITORS J. E. Neville, district manager and Wm.

Christmas Gamma, doesn't Santa Claus come to a railroad train? Innocent query, made by a number of children on the Los Angeles Limited last Christmas, gave some one a hunch, dear Santa Claus will make on childhood's fondest exions. The announcement was made by the Union Pacific System that every train on its lines going an observation car is to a Christmas tree together a full complement of candy and all of the fixings neces- for a real Christmas Eve celebration. That means that the vener- saint will have to catch 25 cent trains speeding at a mile route across widely, separated tons of the west, bearing not only a big tree but also a huge pack that contains everything imaginable to make it a treasure chest of real Christmas fun. On each pack will be a tag that reads: "For the kiddies who have to travel on Christmas. With the holiday greetings of the Union Pacific System." Both operating and traffic departments of the railroad are cooperating to see that Santa Claus doesn't miss a single train and a large staff has been especially assigned to assist in packing the huge amount of presents and trim- mings necessary and properly distributing them to the various strategic points along the U. P. Lines where the many trains can best be caught. These trains will be met at Los Angeles, Portland, Pocatello, Salt Lake City, Ogden, Cheyenne, Denver, North Platte, Kansas City and Omaha. SANTA CLAUS GETS SETBAOK FROM U. S. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14—Santa Claus got a setback when the treasury department issued an order which will cut down the shipment of Christmas trees from Canada to the United States. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Moss issued an order to the collector of customs at Detroit to refuse entry of Christmas trees, where the shipments were not accompanied by a certificate showing them to have been cut in Canada. It was reported to the customs officials that many Christmas trees are being cut in New England, shipped to Canada and re-imported to avoid quarantine against interstate shipments.

The invention, named the Rock-Oil Separator, is claimed by inventor, H. M. Alexander, to enable to extract all the waste fuel which becomes mixed with water when an empty fuel tank is to be filled at sea with water or ballast, and which afterward is to be dumped back into the a again when the tanks are reeled with oil, covering the water with thick, black scum. This black mixture of waste oil and water is the curse of seabathers and the cause of the death of countless thousands of sea-going birds smothered in its sticky grip. The separation apparatus consists of a central cone, into which the mixed oil and water from the bilge is pumped. This is surrounded by another large compartment called the secondary cone, where the separation takes place. Having been separated, the oil passes through a pipe to be returned to the storage tanks for use, with a large saving to shipowners, while the water is pumped back into the sea so entirely free from oil that it is almost crystal clear. It must be awful to be rich in a great city, where you know very few people to snub. LARSEN REMODELS ANAHEIM BAKERY Hans Larsen will open a creamery and lunch room on N.
