NEWS OF FULLERTON ASK GAS EXTENSION TO CAMPING GROUND Ed West requested of Fullerton trustees last night that gas connections be made as far as the city camping ground, and that he would make the remainder from there to his home. He wants water, too. The board passed a motion that the gas pipes be put in, and the water request will be considered. Mr. West also brot to the attention of the board the necessity for more lights in the northern part of the city on the road to Drea where there have been a great many accidents. This brot into prominence the large signboard at this place which is said to cut off the view of motorists, and Mr. West had the city clerk read a letter he received from those who put the sign up relative to the anti-bill board campaign in Fullerton. The writer of the letter surmised that the campaign was the result of a lot of long-heatred "gents" who had nothing else to do, or else the propaganda of the newspapers, whose only competitor is the billboard, it was stated. The matter of lights was discussed, but no definite action taken. ASKS AMENDMENT OF NEW FIRE ORDINANCE Frank Benchley appeared before the board of trustees of Fullerton at their regular weekly meeting last night asking that the fire ordinance be so amended that he would not have to use metal lathes on certain buildings he is going to erect.

LAST IRRIGATION IN WALNUT GROVES NOW The irrigation water is running strong over the district now while the walnut groves are getting their last irrigation before harvest. The growers figure that one more good soaking just at this time will pay them big dividends in the way of increased poundage when the nuts are weighed up at the packing house. It is the very general opinion that the crop is fully two weeks earlier than ordinary in Fullerton district, basing their opinion on the size and condition of the nuts, and the further fact that already they are beginning to drop to some small extent. A citizen who has a small grove of large trees, 25 years old, has his expectations fixed on a yield of 20 pounds to the tree and is figuring on getting 20 cents a pound for them, or $40 for each tree. The grove has been well cared for and appears to be in extra good condition. It is thought the harvest is likely to begin almost any time after the first week in September. CROWLEY-STRAUSS NUPTIAL Another popular Fullerton couple has joined the ranks of the newly wed, the groom being Frederick Strauss of F.

Babb-Tucker No. 1 shows 1825 feet and Horsch No. 1 is making hole at 1800 feet. Alamitos No. 2 is a grade. Rigging up work is completed at Alamitos No. 3 and the well is ready to spud in. On the Jones property grades for Nos. 1 and 2 have been made. Patton-Wilson No.1 is marked with a grade, Wilbur No.1 is a rig; Pickler No.1 is ready to spud in. The Shell Co. is washing out and cleaning the sand from Alamitos No.1, the idea being to put the well in first class production condition. A number of concerns are now drilling near the discovery well and doubtless the Shell sees fit to open up Alamitos No.1 and get the initial production. The City of Long Beach made a mistake when it failed to lease the property lying between the Shell well and the Sandburg No.1 to the Shell Co. The Shell Co. was entitled to the property by right of discovery. The Shell Co. is a big and successful operator and it could have developed the property more quickly, easier and doubtless more efficiently than any outside party. It is understood that the city leased the property to a Mr. Ramsey, a former Oklahoma oil operator. Ramsey is building a rig on the property and will go right ahead with the development. One of the larger concerns in the oil business entered the Long Beach field early in the week. This new company known as the California-Mexican Petroleum Syndicate, has secured property between the Shell's producer and the Sandburg Petroleum's No.1. A rig is now being built for the first well. This new company is backed by a group of Los Angeles bankers. the cement at Bixby No. 1 and is ready to go ahead with the deepening of the well. Drilled to 4351 the inch was set at 4258.

A rig is now being built for the first well. This new company is backed by a group of Los Angeles bankers. Vern Dumas, head of the Cal-Mex Oil Co., is making a showing at Signal Hill. Lumber is on the ground for the company's first rig, and drilling is scheduled to start just as soon as the necessary preparations have been made. Dumas is the man who put the Harrington-Dumas Oil Co. over and made it the first successful independent concern at Richfield.

The Walker-Western Co. waited until things were ripe for proceeding. With a line on the field this company should meet This inspection will be personally conducted by some of the most famous motion picture directors of the country, and will embrace the actual filming of scenes in plays soon to be released.

After the inspection a reception will be given by the members of the motion picture colony to the visiting bankers and their families, where all will have an opportunity of meeting the famous stars and hearing directly from them about their work. Another unique feature of the entertainment planned for the visiting bankers is the tours of the city and environs by airplane. Los Angeles is fast becoming recognized as the airplane center of the country and the pilots of the numerous airdromes will vie with each other in showing the tremendous strides which this industry has taken since the war. For those who consider no outing complete unless golf is included, there will be matches played on the superb courses of the various country clubs in and about Los Angeles. Cups have been offered by the local committees for every conceivable kind of play, and the bankers' championship gives promise of being hotly contested. The ladies of the city are joining in the preparations for the entertainment of the families of those who attend the convention. In addition to the usual teas and luncheons, there will be garden fetes held in gardens famous for their wealth of beauty and rare flowers.
