TOWN IN REVIEW BY OLD TIMER IF NINE strangers enter the Chamber of Commerce offices up to nine o'clock in the morning, what is Anaheim's population? Here, young folks, is a calculation, computation, compilation or something like that which will keep you out of trouble for some hours. Incidentally the office opened at seven-thirty. "I go into restraurants and meet nobody but strangers," says Malcom Fraser. "It's the same way on the streets." Anaheim has 12,500 people Fraser insists, just as the boards near the city loo its announce. Mr. and Mrs. H. E. McDonald, of McDonald's store, are advertising for a bug containing three bathing suits and two towels which they put by mistake on the running board of the machine parked next to theirs in Brookside park last Sunday. If Mr. and Mrs. McDonald would be up to the minute in their bathing attire, they could have put their suits in an envelope and "Harry" could then have slipped them in his inside coat pocket, and saved all this worry and money for advertising. I don't like to appear curious but I would like to know who had to go without a towel. PRESIDENT HARDING will get along all right with Dr. J. T. Boone among the consulting physicians, says B. Fisher, who used to know the naval doctor back at Mt. Victory, Ohio, which is 30 miles from Marion. Because his old home was so close to that of Harding's, Fisher has always been much interested in the president despite the fact he's a dye-in-the-wool democrat and proud of it.

The derrick is up and all is said to be set for the opening of operations. The concern was declared today by a rancher interested in the success of the enterprise to be thoroughly experienced and to have plenty of capital behind it. Its personnel consists of Angelenos, with F. Leelle Meeker of Fullerton, geologist. Among the ranchers who have leased land are W. M. Wicker, Jones P. Street, Julius A. Hollingaworth and Messrs Stanton and Jackson. There are others—about a dozen all told—it is said. Attempts have been made to obtain oil in this general vicinity but not at the same point. The Petroleum Midway Co. drilled 2410 feet on Lincoln ave. near Buena Park, but made no test. The depth drilled was not regarded as sufficient to determine whether there was oil. The Standard Oil Co. drilled on the Mitchell place at Buena Park and had two showings of oil sand, one at 2990 feet and the other at 4600. The company apparently did not regard either showing as enough to warrant further drilling. SEPARATE GERMAN AGREEMENT PLANNED (By David M. Church) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) LONDON, Aug. 1—Following a meeting of the cabinet, it was learned from semi-official sources this afternoon that Great Britain has practically decided to make a separate reparations agreement with Germany. A strong faction of the cabinet maintained that the French note failed to advance the reparations issue toward a solution and that it was advisable for the British to send a separate note to Berlin applying to the German note of June 7. Premier Baldwin is hopeful that a separate Anglo-German reparations agreement will not break down the Anglo-French entente.

Au thhe "big six" oil c nounced here today once, a two cent slash THE financial interests of Anaheim will have a substantial addition with the arrival of Andrew Franzen who has conducted a jewelry store at Monmouth, Ill., for a quarter of a century. He spent last winter here and decided that Anaheim was good enough for him. Returning to Monmouth, he has sold his store and is winding up other business affairs preparatory to moving to Anheim permanently about the last of the year. While here last winter he purchased five acres at North and Palmsts, an investment the wisdom of which is already manifest in view of the plans to widen and pave Palm-st. He also made other advantageous investments. His son, David J. Franzen, and bride, are already making their home here. Last evening they were the honored guests at a chicken dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Hamler. ED MERPITT, city clerk who landed here 30 years ago, was attracted to Calif. from his home in Chicago because he considered there was a market here for the Woowward Rope Fruit Grader, made in Illinois and for which he was saleman. "That was a mighty good little grader," says Ed, "but when I think of the big packing houses with graduates extending across long buildings, I cannot but marvel at the advancement made by the fruit packing industry." "Our machine was about ten feet long and was operated by a crank or treadle. I sold them to the Earle Fruit Co. and all the other shipers. Business was flourishing until I had everyone supplied."

THINK CRISIS HAS BEEN PASSED Temperature Drop to 99 and Respiration Much Easier Today FIRST CASES UNDER NEW DRY ACT Court history was being made today in Santa Ana. The first case under the new county ordinance prohibiting drunkenness was successfully prosecuted, and this afternoon the first offender accused of reckless driving as such, without specifying the exact offense, is scheduled to be tried. Both prosecutions will start a campaign of increasing vigor against intoxicated persons, particularly those in cars. According to the district attorney's office, a person is drunk in the legal sense whose passions are violably excited or judgment impaired by intoxicants. A. A. Williams, who accompanied A. W. Culpepper in a Cadillac, paid Justice J. B. Cox a fine of $25 for being drunk. Culpepper was held under $1000 bail for examination Aug 21 at 10 a.m. on the charge of driving a car while intoxicated. Horetofore it has been impossible to arrest an intoxicated person unless he was a public nuisance. The two reached California from Oklahoma on Monday. Louie Hefner, county motorcycle officer, made the arrests at the intersection of the Los Alamitos boulevard and the Westminster road last night. Williams was ugly and about to fight when Hefner threatened him. Temperature Drop to 99 and Respiration Much Easier Today BULLETIN SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 1.—At 2:45 this afternoon Secretary George Christian declared that President Harding was not only "holding his own," but was "going forward." He said there has been no "backward tendencies."

Later this evening Secretary Christian will leave for Los Angeles. (By George R. Holmes) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) SA NFRANCISCO, Aug. 1.—President Harding made further progress today on the road to recovery from the illnesses which have kept him bedfast for five days. While expressing gratification at the marked improvement in the president's condition in the last two days, the five attending physicians put in today's official medical bulletin a slight note of caution. "While progress is being made," said the bulletin, "every care is necessary to assure freedom from complications." This care, needless to say, is being exercised acropulously, and while the physician's alight at predictions as to what date it will be possible to start the president back to Washington, the general belief prevails that next week the return journey will begin. Today's medical announcement reported that almost the last vestige of fever has disappeared. The president's temperature was only 99 this morning, four tenths of one degree above normal, and is now considered a negligible factor. The lung condition was reported about the same as yesterday, the white patches disclosing evidences of bronco-pneumonia slowly disappearing. The president is still much exhausted, the doctors stated, but the two good nights of sleep which the president has secured in succession have remedied the utter exhaustion so apparent when he first came to San Francisco and he maintains his normal buoyancy of spirit. The respiration took an appreciable Justice J. B. Cox a fine of $25 for being drunk. Culpepper was held under $1000 bail for examination Aug 21 at 10 a.m. on the charge of driving a car while intoxicated. Heretofore it has been impossible to arrest an intoxicated person unless he was a public nuisance. The two reached California from Oklahoma on Monday. Louie Hefner, county motorcycle officer, made the arrests at the intersection of the Los Alamitos boulevard and the Westminster road last night. Williams was ugly and about to fight when Hefner threatened him with his billy and Culpepper persuaded him to be quiet. The maximum penalty is $50 fine or 50 days or both. H. R. Priest of the Crown Stage cafe here was due to appear before Judge Cox this morning, but didn't and is expected to come this afternoon. Priest and a girl named Lois Myers of Orange were found by Hefner on the state highway, where the girl was interfering with Priest's driving. Hefner alleges. The car hit a pillar of the bridge over the Santa Ana river beyond the hospital and enabled Hefner to overhaul the two. The complaint against Priest charges merely reckless driving. ORANGE-CO.
