RESUME JAM Is
WELL DRILLING

Work of fishing up the broken cas-
ing in the James oil we'll near Coyote
Wells was started this week, and it is
hoped that the casing will be patch
ed in a few days. so that drilling can
be resumed next week, it was stated by
w. Il. James.
The work of repairing the casing,
which broke in two at about 200 feet
several weeks ago, has been delayed
because of the necessity to cement the
water out of the well. 1t took a long
time for the cement to harden.
James said a pipe was drawn up out
of the hole yesterday morning and in
the bottom of it was found nice show
ing of oil. He said this showing con-
vrms earlier estimates of himself and
his father that the well, if pumped out,
would yield about six barrels of Oil a
day.
There has been steady advance in
the stock with increasing reports of oil
and a consistent demand.

BUY VAN NUYS
DAIRY RANCH

VAN NUYS-The dairying industry
around Van Nuys has received a great
boost. Noland & Blenkiron of Imperial
have purchased all of the w. f. Holt
ranch on Ventura boulevard north of
the highway and will establish at
once a 300-cow dairy. The property
comprises part of what is known as
tn old sheep ranch which was pur-
chased by Mr. Holt from Gen. II. G.
Otis several years ago and is admirably
suited for dairying. A portion of the
md is already planted to alfalfa and
during the past season Mr.. Holt pro
duced there some of the gnest enslage
corn ever grown in the San Fernando
valley.
Work will be started at once on the
buildings for the new dairy and they
will be rushed to completion as quickly
as possible.
Noland & Blenkiron are considered
among the leaders in the dairying in
dustry in the state. They have been
operating for several years in the I'm
perial valley where they control large
dairies and creameries and have been.
extensive dealers in high grad cows.
1t has only been few months since
this same firm purchaser a tract of al
falfa land from w. p. Whitsett, lying
along the Southern Pacific railroad
near Raymer station which, it was an
nounced, they would use as a shipping
and loading center for their future op-
erations in the San Fernando valley.
With this firm, the Adohr stock
farms and the ...lliot- -Brant ranch, To-
Gated on the Ventura boulevard in the
Valley, this highway will soon become
famous for it's delivery of milk and
cream to Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Creamery, when it
moves its plant to it's large site just
north of Van Nuys, will become an
other great, factor in the dairying in
duStry of this section.

CHURCHES OPEN.

Methodists yeste fday decided to Of
fer the Methodist Easrch to the hous-
ing committee for use during the two
days of the gala celebration on the
occasion Of the opening Of the San
Diego & Arizona railway December 5
and 6. The offer was formally made
this morning through the pastor, Rev.
E.. A. Palmer.
No charge will be made for the
building but Rev. Palmer suggests
that if it is necessary to bring over
hundreds of cots from Coronado or
San Diego to provide accommodations
that charge be made su. .cient to
pay for the costs.
The church will accommodate sew
eral hundred people and if the sug-
gestion is followed out bv the other
churches, and hundreds of cots and
covers are brought over from San
Diego it is thought that the housing
situation will be solved.
Accommodations for hundreds of
people. possibly thousands, can be
furnished in this manner and utiliza-
ton of other public buildings in this
manner will greatly aid in solving
the situation.
