MIDWAY SOUTHERN
BEGINS OPERATIONS
LONG BEACH OIL COMPANY is
BEING FINANCED
PROPERTY WELL LOCATED AND
MUCH STOCK ALREADY
MARKETED

What promises to be one of the most
successful oil companies operating in
the famous Midway field is now being
financed by a number of Long Beach
capitalists and bushes men. The Mid
way Southern Oil company, operating a
4O-acre lease in section u, 11-24, is
going ahead raising sufficient funds to
drill a well, and a large block of stock
already has been sold in the Long
Beach company.
The lease, which will be operated at
a one-eghth royalty with option of
purchase, is surrounded on all sides by
producing wells. Last week the Ada
line property, adjoining that held by
the Midway Southern, was sold for
$500, ,00O and it is fact that there is not
a dry hole in this section. The nearest
producing we'll is 400 yards east of the
companys holdings.
I'm floating the Midway Southern
company" declared M. f. Brooks, sec
retary of the company, I'VE shall and
are appealing to the good sense of Long
Beach and Los Angeles business men.
The merits of our proposition are at
tested by the fact that a large amount
of the stock which has been disposed
of has been taken by oil men. Our
books will always be thrown open and
our every operation shall be open and
aboveboard."
C. r. Faulstich, treasurer of the
company, echoed the sentiments of Sec
retary Brooks and produced as evidence
a handbook showing a substantial bal
ance of almost $1,000 derived from stock
sold during the past few days.

SUBMARINE TELEPHONE
CABLE is ESTABLISHED
People May Soon Talk Across the
English Channel

LONDON, Aug. Ga submarine tele-
phone cable of a novel type was re-
Gently laid across the channel from
DoVtr to Capt Grisnez by the British
postoffice. This is the first cable of
the kind laid in tidal waters and across
the open sea, although a similar cable
was previously laid in the Lake OF
Constance.
The new cable will be brought into
regular use as soon as the correspond
ing French land lines are completed,
but the tests SO far made have given
very satisfactory results. Its efficiency
has been increased more than three
times beyond the value which it would
have if it had not been specially
treated.
This improved efficiency is due to the
insertion of loading coils in the cable
at intervals OF one knot. The coils re-
duce the distortion of the current I'M
pulses, which correspond to the spoken
sounds, and so render the speech more
distinct.
The French government proposes to
Law a second new cable across the
channel and it will thus be possible
TO provide for the increased traffic
likely to result from the reduction or
charges for conversations between
England and France which Will then
take effect. In the meantime 1t is
proposed to use the new English cable
for experiments in conversation be-
tween London and Amsterdam, and
possibly Berlin and other cities in Ger
many. Hitherto such conversation mas
been prevented by the difficulties IN
volved in the use of submarine cables
of great length, and the only contl-
mental country besides France at pres
ent in telephone communication with
Great Britain is Belgium.

JEWISH COLONIES MAY
BE LOCATED IN ORIENT

LONDON, Aug. 6.-The General
Jewish Colonizing organization held Il
meeting last week at the Hotel Cecil.
This body has been formed in order to
find places of refuge and settlement for
the Russian and East European Jews.
The large North American centers.
where former victims of persecution
found a place of refuge, are becoming
more and more closed through restric-
tive legislation. and the Orient is now
as the most appropriate ter
ritory. There Jewish colonization, in
itiated more than a quarter OF CEN
tury ago, forms a very promising
starting point. As far as England is
concerned it is felt to be OF the ut
most Importance that the stream Of
Jewish emigration from eastern Eu-
rope should be diverted directly to
the Orient.
On motion of Mr.. Percy NJ. CASTILLO
it was unanimously resolved to found
an English branch Of the organization.

LONG BEACH MAYOR CUTS
BUDGET FOR YEAR $4,000
Municipal Band Eliminated Unless
Special Levy Is Ordered

LONG BEACH, Aug. Ga special
tax levy will have to be ordered by a
special election if this city continues to
have a municipal band, and certain
other features. Mayor Windham last
night returned the budget passed by
the council early in the week and it
was found he had cut $4,000 from the
former total of $341,0OO, leaving a total
expense fund of $266,OOO. The munich
pal band appropriation was one OF
those cut out.
IT is considered certain that the pop
ularity of the band is such that an
additional tax levy will be voted. This
may be done at once, call being made
for an election at the next council
meeting. The tax rate, as the budget
now stand g, will be 81. Including a
tax for the library and redemption fund
and a ten-cent levy, as proposed for
the band, the rate would be s1.37. The
total assessed valuation is $21,00O,O0O.

CITIZENS PLAN CHANGE
IN DIRECTION OF ROAD

LONG BEACH, Aug. 6.-The
Strengthening of Ocean avenue between
Redondo and Termino avenues, has
been taken up by the council and the
plan probably will be carried out. The
street at that point is badly cut up.
It now is proposed to have the Pa
cifc Electric company move its tracks
rs feet south of their present loca-
ton. This would put the tracks on a
private right of way, the street could
be straightened and the public would
have rights OF way over the tracks
crossing the intersections at five
streets. The first move will be a con-
ference between the city offiiials and
the Pacific Electric officials.

zIONISTS INAUGURATE
VAST PALESTINE WORK
Professor Warburg of Berlin Uni
verSity Issues Report on
Plans for Settlers

COLOGNE, Aug. 6.-The Palestine
department of the Zionist organization,
which is under the direction of Prof.
Otto Warburg of the Berlin university,
has issued a report of its work during
the past six months. 1t has undertaken
the administration of the Palestine
Land Development company, an Eng
lish limited liability company, which
had set itself the task of purchasing
and cultivating large tracks Of land
and parceling them out into small
holdings for Jewish settlers with mod
crate means. This company has re-
Gently received a credit of S50,000 from
the Jewish national fund.
SYNDICATE BUYS SPRINGS
The Palestine Industry syndicate,
which is also under the direction of the
department, was primarily created TO
acquire and realize concessions, but,
owing to the legal difficulties that at
present hinder such transactions, IT
has confined itself in the past year to
the leasing of hot springs, to partici-
pating in a cement bricks concern, and
to founding a syndicate for chemical
research in Palestine. The immediate
purpose of this new syndicate is TO pre-
pare good cooking oil and to manufac-
ture perfume oils from the flowers that
grow in the Holy Land.
The department reports the launching
of a Jewish agricultural experiment
station, the financial backing of which
has been provided by a group of veal
thy American Jews, including jacob
H. Schiff. The managing director, NJ.
Aronsohn, is an expert agronomlSt who
has recently made researches in Cali
fornia, and he has now assumed his
duties at Haifa. A medical commission
comprising several eminent specialists
on the continent has carried out the
preliminary labors for the establish
ment, also at Haifa, of hySlenlc IN
stitute which will undertake the study
and prevention of contagious diseases
among animals and plants, as we'll as
among mankind.
An account is also given of the de-
velopment of the Belalel School OF Arts
and Crafts in Jerusalem, which, al
though established only few years
ago on the most modest scale, now pro-
vides work for nearly 250 people in its
various ateliers. Several of its rooms
will have to be enlarged, particularly
those in which lithography, tilagree
work and Damascus metal work are
carried on. Thanks to exhibitions OF
the work of the school in twenty-five
different towns in Europe, AFRICA ana
America, the Bezalel has received or
ders for about $4,000, which Will occuA
DIV the students a considerable time.
An interesting proposal OF the man
ayers is to settle a number of Iemenlte
Jewish families on the land and to
employ them in carpet weaving and
other crafts under a trained director,
while they can devote themselves to
poultry farming and kitchen gardening
in their leisure.

Covered in First Year of
Existence.

The governing committee OF the pub
licity bureau of the Commercial clup.

tributed. leaflets were provided banks and
business houses which were distributed
with their eastern mall. Much OF the
work OF the bureau consisted in supplying
papers in different parts OF the United
States with feature stories exploiting the
resources OF the state. These articles

OF the publicity bureau, an eight-page
Utah section was secured in the Chicago

exploita ton OF Utah's resources.
Before the establishing OF the publicity
bureau. not more than ten inquiries each
month were received concerning Utah

500 queries were answered. AS result
