ENTHUSIASTIC OVER CYPRESS PROJECT NOTE—The following geological report was made to the Gadillie Oil Development at Cypress. Gentlemen: I have made a careful examination of the land about one half miles south of Cypress, upon which you hold a lease for the development of oil. I have endeavored to obtain the most conservative data possible regarding its prospective value. In my experience, covering a period of 35 years, during which I have been closely identified with many different oil fields, I have never found better geological conditions for storage and retention of petroleum in fact, every element factor sought for by the practical oil man is found on this land and I am convinced of its great possibilities. In California, the conditions for the formation and storage of petroleum is usually found in the structure of the territory age and the surface indications, which can be easily traced, show the prevalence of a large oil basin under your land. Your lands are located on a direct line between Santa Fe Springs and Huntington Beach, and between Signal Hill and Richfield, being 61-2 miles to the south of Santa Fe Springs five miles to the southwest of Coyote Hills, five miles to the north of Huntington Beach and five miles to the east of Signal Hill. From my examinations I am convinced that when your territory is drilled in probably will rival Santa Fe Springs. The present industrial and financial situation offers great opportunity for money wisely and carefully invested in business, and in scarcely any lines are the opportunities so great as in oil. With proper organization and field management the risk is very small. The gas seepage or mounds on your property and immediately west of your property have been caused by the gas pressure and the load that Far Cry From First Structure Debicated Anaheim's one and only business block in 1880—gees.

Col. Earl H. Ellis would be buried in the Caroline Islands, where he met an unexplained death on May 12, only served today to deepen the mystery surrounding his untimely growth of Anaheim. R. Melrose, An clerk after incorporation and one of the neeys, says that Ana hall, which stood at street on the site BURY COL. ELLIS IN CAROLINE ISLANDS (By International News Service) WASHINGTON, June 5.—Anouncement in Tokyo that the body of Lleut, Col. Earl H. Ellis would be buried in the Caroline Islands, where he met an unexplained death on May 12, only served today to deepen the mystery surrounding his untimely end. Although nearly a month has passed since the distinguished marine officer met his death in the "forbidden islands," that are under Japanese mandate, no word has yet reached Washington as to the cause of Colonel Ellis' death. First reports that he had been "accidentally killed" have neither been confirmed nor denied, despite cabled requests from Washington for more information. The mystery surrounding Colonel Ellis' presence in the Caroline Islands, an area barred to foreign travellers by the Japanese foreign office, likewise has never been cleared up. On the rolls of the Marine Corps, Col. Ellis was carried as "on leave." His leave lasted from 1920 to the date of his death, but he was still on the active rolls of the Marine Corps. The U.S. government and friends of Col. Ellis in Washington have no other source of information than the Japanese foreign office, which maintains a rigid control of the mandate islands. There are no American consular or diplomatic officials within 2,000 miles and thus far Tokyo has been uncommunicative concerning the circumstances of Col. Ellis' death. With burial of Ellis in the islands where he ended a brilliant career, his friends said today it was doubtful if the mystery of his death ever would be cleared up satisfactorily. Autopsies are not popular or feasible in the Carolines, it was said. Consequently, Col. Ellis will be buried where he came to his unexplained death in the islands. ARREST PROFESSORS (By International News Service) TOKYO, June 5.—Alleging a plot to spread Bolshevist ideals in the Japanese army and among the student body, the police this afternoon arrested two Waseda University professors and 30 Socialists. It was announced that additional arrests would be made because of evidence gained of a plot having as its ultimate object the assassination of cabinet officials. The two professors gained official dislike a month ago when they added in breaking up military study in Waseda University.

Staff Correspondent) PARIS, June 5.—The late Sarah Pernhardt's great gold mahogany bed with its regal canopy is drawing hundreds of American tourists to the exposition of the artist's belongings which is being held prior to their public sale at the Georges Petit Gallery, June 11, 12 and 13. The proceeds will be used to pay off debts against the estate. "Divine Sarah's" stage jewelry makes a glittering display. Included are the decorations worn on her uniform as "Aiglon," the brilliant head ornaments worn in the role of "Cleopatra," as well as many rings and necklaces Madam Bernhardt identified with the parts she played. Curiosely enough, there is not a single genuine precious stone in the lot. Close friends of the actress explained that she was forced to sell her valuable jewelry during the last few years to pay her actual living expenses. Three pieces of sculpture by Bernhardt will be sold under the hammer. One is a masque in marble of Sarah's husband, Jacques Bamala. Another is a marble of her sister, Regina Bernhardt. The third statue, also in marble, is a group of three figures entitled "Arter the Tempest." Mine, Bernhardt was passionately fond of collecting Venetian glass and this collection from an artistic standpoint is probably the most valuable of the lot. PLACENTIA PLACENTIA, June 5.—Some little excitement was caused here Saturday just before noon. Just back of C. R. Farrar's hardware store is a vacant lot on which two men, carpenters working on the new packing house had pitched camp for the time being. The announcement of the formal opening of Anaheim's new city hall on East Center street Thursday has recalled to old-timers the erection of the first city hall in the 80s. The comparison shows in a wonderful manner the almost phenomenal growth of Anaheim in a life time. R. Melrose, Anaheim's first city clerk after incorporation in 1878, and one of the earliest city attorneys, says that Anaheim's first city hall, which stood on West Cypress street on the site of the late city automobile camping ground, was a very crude affair, having two rooms, about 10x15 each. One of these was used for the city jail and the other for the council chamber. The city clerk and other city officials kept their offices under their hats. Since that time, Anaheim moved its city hall from time to time. Mr. Melrose is able to give a word picture of Anaheim in the early days. He came to California in 1864 from Scotland, and first to Anaheim in 1866, although it was not until a few years later that he made his home here. At that time Anaheim consisted of 1200 acres of inclosed land, the great part of which was given up to the growing of vineyards, and the business block was Center street, from Los Angeles to Lemon streets. There was only one two-story building in town, the adobe store of Dreyfus and Langenberger which stood on the site of the Fairland theater. Mr. Melrose later bought Mr. Langenberger's interests. There were several saloons and a blacksmith shop here. There was the Sunday afternoon rendezvous of Mexicans from capit-trano to Nietos. They came here to race horses. So far as Mr. Melrose knows there was no religious services held here until the Presbyterians came in 1871 holding services on the ground floor of "Enterprise Hall" at the corner of Los Angeles and Chartres streets. There was a pool hall downstairs, but the owner prohibited the playing of pool during worship hours. There was no such thing as a paved street nor a sidewalk save a few plank affairs and Los Angeles and Center streets were covered with straw, manure, and weds. A large livery stable stood on the present site of the S. Q. R. store. The population of the city was not more than 300 or 400, or at most 500. Mr. Melrose can remember the time that he not only knew every white man, woman and child in Anaheim, but also in Los Angeles. LECTURE ON ALASKA CORDOVA, Alaska, June 5.

Battleship linoleum laid by the new Armstrong method—paper being cemented below it first—and shades thruout also were furnished by the Anaheim company. The new City Hall is expected, as the City Manager said, to improve the efficiency of the employees as a matter of course. And the brand new equipment is an important part of the new building.

PLACENTIA PLACENTIA, June 5. Some little excitement was caused here Saturday just before noon. Just back of C. R. Farrar's hardware store is a vacant lot on which two men, carpenters working on the new packing house had pitched camp for the time being. There is quite a little vacant property on this square and it is quite well provided with dry weeds. So just about noon the "Sweldoms' owner's wife took out some trash and set it afire. According to reports she did not stay outside and with the bonfire and it soon spread to the weeds and before anyone knew wit, the camp was all ablaze. One tent and all its contents were completely destroyed. A New Ford, standing alongside, was burned to ashes and it was only due to the valiant work of the ones who had been near and fought it bravely that the fire did not do much more damage. One tent was saved. Damage done was estimated at about $700. The Jolly Nine held its monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. Wm. Berkenstock on Friday evening. A wonderful Spanish dinner was served at seven o'clock by the hostesses, Mrs. Berkenstock and Mrs. John Wagner. During the evening "500" was played in the spacious living rooms.
