MISSION URGES BETTER CROSS Route of Harding's So. California Sub U.S. SQUADRON GREETS HARDING, 'HOME' AGAIN (By George R. Holmes) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) SEATTLE, July 27.—President Harding came back "home" today to the accompaniment of a deefening welcome from the Pacific fleet assembled for review in Seattle harbor. The Henderson came out of the grey miss overhanging Elliot bay to find the battle squadron of the Pacific fleet drawn up smartly in line for presidential inspection. The roar of the gigantic guns from Admiral Hilary P. Jones' flagship the armoured cruiser Seattle, was the welcoming note of the president's home coming after three weeks absence from the United States. The first gun from the Seattle in the presidential salute of 21 guns was a signal for a succession of ear-splitting detonations from other assembled battleships as the Henderson moved slowly along the line of ships. One after another the guns from the battleships California, New Mexico, Arizona, Maryland, Tennessee, Idaho, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Texas, boomed out welcoming the president home and shattering the mprning stillness of the bay. The Henderson, her marines and sailors lining the deck rails steamed quietly by. The president's craft returned no salutes. Forty destroyers, slim grey hounds of the ocean and a host of auxiliary craft made up the balance of the fleet review. It was an impressive display made more impressive by the fact that it was the president's home coming after his journey to Alaska and his visit to Canadian soil at Vancouver Thursday. The Canadian visit made a deep and lasting impression upon the president, Vancouver and British Columbia. The roar of the gigantic guns from Admiral Hilary P.

Center St., Anaheim The Henderson, her marines and sailors lining the deck rails steamed quietly by. The president's craft returned no salutes. Forty destroyers, slim greyhounds of the ocean and a host of auxiliary craft made up the balance of the fleet review. It was an impressive display made more impressive by the fact that it was the president's home coming after his journey to Alaska and his visit to Canadian soil at Vancouver Thursday. The Canadian visit made a deep and lasting impression upon the president. Vancouver and British Columbia accorded the president a welcome such as is seldom accorded a visitor and the president went aboard the Henderson last night a tired and happy man. He went aboard convinced too that bonds of kinship that have extended for more than a hundred years between Canadians and Americans have been strengthened by his brief stop in the western Canadian metropolis and that however vexing may be the questions which arise in the future between the two countries, they will readily yield to "neighborly" adjustment from both sides of the border. The president faced a busy day in Seattle. After landing at 10 o'clock he started a two hour motor ride around the city, thru the business and residential sections, also the park where thousands of school children were assembled to welcome him. President Harding will be the guest of the Seattle Press Club for lunch after which he will rest and then motor to the stadium, arriving at 4 p.m. to make his address on Alaska. In this address he will as outlined in previous interviews and dispatches, report nothing seriously wrong with Alaska but the development must of necessity be a slow laborious process with no quick and easy or royal road to prosperity. The president takes the road again after his Alaskan speech, leaving Seattle at 7 o'clock on the Great Northern for El Portal, Calif., where early Sunday morning he enters Yosemite National Park for two days visit, thence continuing down the coast. The Henderson left-Vancouver at 9:30 Thursday night, loafing along on the short run to Seattle, timing her arrival there to coincide with the fleet review.

MUNGER The past week was another big one for the high gravity oil producers at Santa Fe Springs. This wonderful oil field now has a potential production aggregating a half million barrels daily. The Amalgamated Oil Company started the production this week with a 1600 barrel well on the Dalluge lease. Dalluge No. 2 completed at 4397 is flowing the usual 34.5 gravity oil, as clean a product as ever came from the ground. The B. G. B. No. 1 is now down in the deep Meyer sand and contributed its little portion to the field's output by starting off a two-thousand-mile route. Style and Quality are only half the Story —When you drop in at the Keen Men's Wear Store, you're sure to find the very finest in material—in quality and Keen style—but that's just the first half. —Keen chain store prices bring the best men's furnishings away down to garden variety prices—a whole lot less than you'd expect to pay for a lower grade of merchandise. —and remember—we are headquarters for oil workers clothing. —When you are in town from the field one for the high gravity oil producers at Santa Fe Springs.

The Amalgamated Oil Company started the production this week with a 1600 barrel well on the Daluge lease. Daluge No. 2 completed at 4397 is flowing the usual 34.5 gravity oil, as clean a product as ever came from the ground. The B. G. B. No. 1 is now down in the deep Meyer sand and contributed its little portion to the field's output by starting off a ten thousand barrels. Production facilities made it necessary to cut the big well down to 3000 barrels. The B. G. B. is a product of the Federal Drilling Company and A1 Johnson. Mr. Johnson enjoys a unique distinction in not only being fond of watermelons, but with a long list of deep and big producers to his credit. The Flood property abandoned 8 months ago by the Union Oil Company is to have another test well drilled on it. The new lessons are known as the Heart of Santa Fe Springs Oil Company and the concern is backed by the Berry-Trent Petroleum Company a Los Angeles organization. The second test well on the Flood property has been located on the extreme southeast portion of the property and actual drilling will start soon. The Luneta Oil Company has made a most interesting discovery that is of vital interest to the southeast section of the Springs field. At 4609 just 18 feet under the 6:1-4 show the Luneta Oil Company found a nice looking oil sand. The sand is of excellent texture, cuts oil instantly and looks encouraging. It is Store, you're sure to find the very finest in material—in quality and Keen style—but that's just the first half. Keen chain store prices bring the best men's furnishings away down to garden variety prices—a whole lot less than you'd expect to pay for a lower grade of merchandise. And remember—we are headquarters for oil workers clothing. When you are in town from the fields, stop in and tell us your troubles.
