EDISON TO SPEND $600,000 IN COUNTY
During this year the So. Calif. Edison Co. will spend $600,000 in Santa Ana district for extensions and reinforcement of its electric distributing system. District Manager W. L. Deimling received this information from the General Offices of the company this morning.
The total appropriations for power development and distribution system betterments of the So. Calif. Edison Co. for the year 1925 exceed $25,000,000. Important recommendations were made by Mr. Deimling to General Manager R. H. Bailard at the close of the year, detailing the requirements of the local system. The local appropriations include a portion of the San Joquin River-Big Creek diversion projection and the great Long Beach steam plant, delivering electrical energy to Santa Ana and its immediate vicinity, and cover extensions and reinforcements of the local distributing lines and stations.
In commenting on the development of the territory comprising the Santa Ana district Mr. Deimling said:
"The growth of our district ranks very high in the general development of Southern California. Both in number of new consumers and added connected load in horsepower the entire district which includes the incorporated cities of Santa Ana, Orange, Tustain, Garden Grove, Laguna Beach, the important towns of El Toro, Irvine, Fairview, McPherson and the intervening territory, has maintained an annual increase slightly above 20%. To keep pace with this compounding annual addition our company has in the past and will in future make very large expenditures for service lines and distributing stations. Our payrolls for construction work have been very large and as practically the entire area of the district is rapidly developing into
ANAHEIM BOASTS FEWEST TRAMPS
One of the thing that Anaheim can boast about these days is fewer hoboes than almost any town of its size in So. Calif. A Plain Dealer scribe, curious to find out what had become of the tramp visitor, asked Chief Bert Moody about it. According to the marshal, Anaheim has only half the vagrants it had a year ago, if that.
It used to be quite common to find half a dozen hoboes in a railway box car, and 18 of them on occasion have been pieked up in a couple of care on the Santa Fe.
The latter railway, however, furnishes only one of several trying or resting places of Mr. Hobo.
Like many other places, Anaheim doesn't refuse a hobo a night's lodging, if there is room for him. According to Chief Moody, it isn't good policy to war on the hobo as if he were vormin. He is a human being and appreciates decent treatment. If he isn't treated right, it becomes a simple matter for him to sneak back to the town that has abused him and take any one of many things lying around loose. If he likes, in fact, he can make of himself the worst petty thief extant anywhere.
The well-known scarcity of robberies in Anaheim—as well known almost as the rarity of fires—is due, in Moody's opinion, among other things to the fact that the hobo doesn't regard Anaheim as a particular target to hit.
In addition to the rarity of store robberies and holdups, Anaheim has fewer petty thefts than almost any town in the south, the records show.
Aside from policy, there are other reasons for practicing the Golden Rule with hoboes, says Moody. The latter have rarely if ever failed to keep a promise to leave town the next day; if left undarbed. Furthermore it
YOUNG'S DEATH
GREAT SACRIFICE
HERRIN, Ill., Jan. 29—S. Glenn Young's death was referred to as "supreme sacrifice to duty" in the funeral sermon delivered here this afternoon by Rev. L. E. Lee, pastor of the First Baptist Church.
Crediting Young with having had a leading part in cleaning up Williamson county, Rev. Mr. Lee said in part:
"Before the cleanup, there were 30 public saloons on the main street of Herrin. Open gambling houses flourished, and there were many bad roadhouses. An element of 'scoff laws,' bootleggers, thugs, murderers and prostitutes made a joke of teh law.
"Today saloons are closed. Their premises are occupied by groceries, tailor shops and book stores. The notorious roadhouses have all been closed. This change was brought about only in the last 15 months.
"Many have helped to bring about the reform. When the names of these are recalled, the name of S. Glenn Young comes first.
"We needed an extraordinary leader and found that leader in the person of S. Glenn Young. He was a fearless man, an able leader and thoroughly imbued with the idea of the supreme yot the law.
"Young is more responsible than any one else for this change for the better in Herrin. He carried on to the bitter end and laid down his life that Herrin might be clean. His death was a supreme
DECENTRAL BE THE GOVERNMENT," IS PLEA OF MARYLAND GOVERNOR
In addition to the rarity of store robberies and holdups, Anaheim has fewer petty thefts than almost any town in the south, the records show.
Aside from policy, there are other reasons for practicing the Golden Rule with hoboes, says Moody. The latter have rarely if ever failed to keep a promise to leave town next day. If left undisturbed. Furthermore, it is almost impossible some times to classify the hobo. Some are merely out of work and are honest, so far as anybody can judge. Others are ranch workers who follow harvests from one section to another. All men whose appearance indicates that they are hoboes carry the familiar bundle of bed clothes, etc., done up in canvas, which is always the hallmark of the vagrant ranch worker.
Eastern hoboes are different. They must sleep in barns, etc., because of the wet weather. Usually, they are not of as good a class as those Californiaans see.
A few weeks ago Chief Moody got a look at the duffle of a tramp as he was preparing to go to bed in the Santa Fe stock yards here.
There was a mirror fixed in one corner of the canvas other toilet articles lay about, and the bed which had been folded up in that canvas was as comfortable as any that a man could want, says Moody.
This man asserted he hadn't slept indoors once in the past nine years.
He was on the way from Los Angeles to the Imperial valley, and didn't know where he would go from there; but named a town which he had heard of and that he'd like to see. He was fond of variety, and sightseeing appeared to be his chief motive for keeping on the move.
One of the fellows who is vanishing is the young or youngish man, well-dressed and in a hurry, who is oftener than otherwise on his way south and hopes to get there by borrowing rides from passing drivers. Moody holds no brief against this class absolutely. Many of them are merely unfortunate and looking for row work, we say; but it is this class rather than the other that includes the criminals.
One prominent Anahelmer, who had seen these fellows pass, declared they were nothing but thieves, but this Moody denied.
The out-and-out tramp, the man who may be honest, but works as little as possible—doing only enough to enable him to keep moving—is as much a type as the spysey, and may be much more harmless.
WEEKLY REVIEW
OF OIL INDUSTRY
By E. J. MUNGER
The Sentinel Oil Co.'s Brown No. 1, the well that landowners and oil operators have been looking up for almost a year to prove up for a dis-appointment. The well was recently drilled to a depth of 541 feet put on a production test and best that it would do was a lot gas. The gas production at firen was considered a good sign, that there was a chance for the well to later turn to an oil producer as did the Marine Oil Corp.'s famous 31.
The test well of the northern area of the Athens district, the Standard Oil Co.'s Cowan No. 1, has passed the 5800 mark and has only hope for it now seems to be in the hope and possibility of picking up a deep sand as did the Union Oil Co.'s Trust No. 1 and the General Petroleum Corp.'s Arstoy.
At a depth of 6200 feet the Union Oil Co.'s Gordon sprung a lie surprise by picking up a substantial showing of oil. This was the first showing the well has had and attracted considerable attention. The Gordon well seems to be the field marker for the southern west section.
The Marlard Oil Co.'s headliner for the Dominguez field the past week. Completing well No. 5 at a depth of 5296 feet the Marlard brought in a 1600 barrel well. Marlard 5 is a product of the Boll-Little Drilling Co.'s well contracting firm that is making an enviable record for itself in the Dominguez field.
At a depth of 6340 feet the Birch Oil Co.'s satisfied that the southwest area of the Dominguez field has no extension and is quieting the Humphries well. At a time throughout the entire drilling ditch the well exhibit a showing or an indication of any kind. More corp samples were taken by the Birch Oil Co.'s in this well probably that...

"Young is more responsible than any one else for this change for the better in Herrin. He carried on to the bitter end and laid down his life that Herrin might be clean. His death was a supreme sacrifice to duty."
HERRIN, Ill., Jan. 29.—Herrin was crowded today with visitors who came from far and near for the most colorful drama in the strang history of this little warlike town—the funeral of S. Glenn Young, two gun KiuX Kian raider, who died with his boots on in a blaze of gunfire last Saturday when two of his followers and has arch enemy, Depuy Sheriff Oka Thomas also were killed.
Funeral services were being held simultaneously at five churches in order to accommodate the thousands of Klansmen who had joined here to participate in the monastery demonstration. At the Baptist Church where the leader's body lay in state, two white robed Klansmen stood guard at the bier throughout the night. The background of the coffin, veiled in white was a mace of red and white crosses and floral tributes from Klan chapters in all parts of the state. Two illuminated crosses carried out the flaming symbol of the order.
Virtually all city offices and principal places of business were closed and it was estimated that a procession ten miles long will follow the hearse to the cemetery.
In the meantime the coroner's jury, having resumed its probe into Saturdays outbreak, was striving to complete its investigation.

"DECENTRAL SE THE GOVERNMENT," IS PLEA OF MARYLAND GOVERNOR
Give the government of this country back to its people and let us have two political parties that are actually different in principles.
This was the plea of Gov. Albert C. Ritchie, Democrat, of Maryland, the only man ever re-elected Chief Executive of that state, in a recent address.
He said:
"Democrats and Republicans do not agree, but I am heartily in favor of the measure introduced in Congress by Senator Wadsworth, of New York, to prohibit further amendments to the Constitution of the United States without giving the people an opportunity to vote for them.
It is not enough to have proposed amendments ratified by the State Legislatures, for they may not represent the wishes of the people at all. Only a vote of the men and women of our country should determine when the Constitution is to be changed.
But I do not believe it should be changed at all. It has stood for 107 years a bulwark of liberty in the world."
Gov. Ritchie also appealed for decentralization of the government at Washington. "The Democrats should prepare a definite program of decentralization and give it back to the people," he declared.
"Centralization has been increasing and will continue to do so for years. The people will decide whether they will want it to continue."
Gov. Ritchie expressed the belief that the third party activities were at an end. "No third party has ever lived," he declared.
The saddest thing in human life is sudden distillation.
At a depth of 6340 feet the Birch Oil Co. is satisfied that the southwest area of the Domingue field has no extension and is quitting the Humphries well. At a time throughout the entire drilling dike the well exhibit a showing or an indication of any kind. More samples were taken by the Birch Oil Co. in this well probably than any other one well ever drilled in the Los Angeles Basin. The careful coring and watchful drilling proof that nothing was passed up that would make an oil well Close to 100 feet of cores were taken.
Torrance production this week fell off in spite of the act that a number of new wells were completed and put on production. The weekly average of the field show 43,500 barrels or about 5000 barrels less than that of the previous week. New wells were completed by the General Petroleum Company-Canfield-Standard and Petroleum Midway Co. The General Petroleum Corp. completed a 25-barrel well on the Carson property by a dept hof 3275, the Chandlo Canfield's Del Amo 31 at 361 started off at 125 barrels, th Standard's Quandt 3, at 3487 doing 60 barrels, an dthe Petroleum Midway's Church No. 1 at 470 barrel well at 3629.
Interest in deep sand production at Torrance has not been entirely lost. The Shell Co. is getting ready to make a production test of a showing found in its Kettle No. 2 at 4530 feet, Kettler 2 we drilled to 5373 and plugged back to the 4690-4580 level. The production test is not expected; starts the oil world. The Jamon Oil Co.'s Laura J is still on the pulp test and to date has made little oil and a lot of water. The well will continue on the pump in the hope of exhausting the water Laura J was drilled 4789 and plugged back to 4600.
Long Beach production this week averaged 23,450 barrel daily. New wells were completed by the Acme Petroleum Company and the Shell Co. The Acme Co. of the old Yankee organizations completed at No Fife a dept hof 4825 barrels in or 480 barrels wolf The Shell Co., Alamitos 22 at depth of 4825 looks like a

Huntington Beach closed the week with a daily average production of 43,000 barrels. One producer was completed. The Sou Calif. Drilling Co. on its Riggle properly put No. 2 on the beam at 250 barrels. Riggle 2 was a plug back to 2960 from 3680. The oil is 19 gravity clean. Huntington Beach's northwest test well the Standard Bolga 1 stopped drilling at 4873 and is being put in condition for the landing of pipe. At 4200 this deep well had some good showings, but as drilling continued the showing continued to grow less important. The outcome of the well is problematical.
The new Culver City-Baldwin Hills oilfield added two producers to its list this week which now gives the field a total of four producers. The Standard Oil Co., finished Vickers No. 1 at a depth of 1505 feet and got a 135 barrel producer of 17.4 gravity oil. The Pan American Petroleum Co. in the completion of its first well at the Santoune No. 1 at 1885 got a 125 barrel well producing 15 gravity. It will be noted that the shallow-well the Standard's Vickers is producing the higher gravity oil, a condition heretofore quite contracted to oil field production. However, 125 and 135 barrel wells under the 2000 mark are very attractive and makes the Culver-Baldwin Hills field a very important asset to the Los Angeles Basin.
Interest in the old Newport field took on new proportions this week with the announcement that the Intratec Oil Co. had found its gravity oil in its Mass well. This well was drilled originally to 3200 and plugged back to about 700 feet.

This statement is untrue. I have faithfully discharged every duty as City Trustee.
