Whitney, ex-hotel man of California and Oregon, who died Feb. 19. "Since his wife died he retired in grief and lavished all his attentions on his parrot," C. W.

The bird has an enormous appetite but refuses to drink water. MERCURY TO THREE GREAT TENTS HOUSE CITRUS EXP To Accommodate Inc. trial, Automotive and Fruit Departments Three tents, each measu- FROM CORE Anaheim May Soon Become Center of Field at Least 8 Miles Long That the Standard Oil Co. is expecting to bring in an oil well on the Wm. Wagner ranch at an early date was reported authentically today. The test well started last August is below 3600 feet and since a corn was taken just Friday night according to the report, showing oil bearing shale and shells, the hole has been reamed out. The hole has cemented off at 3165 feet a few weeks ago. The work of drilling is proceeding steadily but cautiously, lending credence to the theory that the oilmen expect to bring in a producer at any time. Recently the formation has been hard stuff, expected over an oil sand. If the well does prove to be a producer, an oilman say everything points to Anaheim will at once find itself the center of a vast new oilfield as equally satisfactory showings have been disclosed recently in the Coast Land Co. well just west of Garden Grove-rd and at the Gaddie well at Cypress, the latter eight miles from the Standard. Increasing secrecy appears to be marking the progress of operations in the four wells being drilled near Anaheim. As the drill gets nearer and nearer to the levels where oil may be expected, less and less information is being given out. Cypress folk today were estimating the depth of the Gaddie well below 3600 feet. Gaddie was in Anaheim again today, but had nothing to say. The Coast Land Co.'s well on the Siduam Bros.' lease near Broadway and Euolid avenue is down approximately 1300 feet, according to B. H. Siduam. The Wonder Oil Co. is still fishing for tools in the Brookhurst Well No. 1.

This was today's prediction of the C. of C. The workers, augmented by much fresh blood, set out again today, after the intermission of a couple of days, more later dried than ever to put Anaheim back into the race for factories beside Pullerton, Orange and Santa Ana. A large majority of the newly organized teams met this morning at the City Hall, where O. H. Renner, Roscoe B. Young, Harry D. Riley and Henry Adams gave them instructions in the work and voiced the ideas which have been threshed out to push the campaign again. Reports today, while still noGreere, were decidedly encouraging. Whether the workers, however, will have put the thermometer to $70,000 or better by tomorrow cannot of course be predicted. Each of approximately forty workers was furnished with cases of five or more prospects to interview. That means 200 names added to the approximately 350 previously talked to. The names of ranchers are being included with those of Anaheim residents proper, and every argument is being used to show the latter that the value of their properties, whether as ranches or subdivisions, depends directly upon the growth of Anaheim, which in turn depends to the largest extent upon greater industrial activity. CITRUS EXPLOIT To Accommodate Industrial, Automotive and Fruit Departments Three tents, each measuring 100 by 260 feet, to accommodate respectively the citrus fruit, dustrial and auto exhibits.

Tonight at the monthly meeting of the Associated C. of C. Orange, Stern will explain a pity he has for exhibits in the citrus tent. He will ask the organization to make its exhibit the center of a group of individualhibits to be put on by each of communities represented in Feature exhibitions will be placed outside this large group whichtitrus fruit exhibits will occupy outside space as usual and other spaces required. Stern will emphasize at the meeting the fact that the show isn't merely an Anaheim exhibition, nor even one of Orange-alone, but represents the entire Southland. Dr. J. D. Thomas president of the Associated C. C., has been asked to serve on the show's advisory board. The tent for the auto show which will be put on by the Orange-CO. Motor Car Dealer Ass'n., will be the same one which housed the recent Los Angeles auto show. Already some 40 applicants for space in the industrial tent have appeared, according to Stern. $600,000 DAMAGE IN FOREST FIRE SANTA BARBARA.

No one can do more than that." This final tribute to Warren G. Harding, the man and the president, was spoken today by Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes who delivered the only address at the official memorial services for the late President in the house of representatives. While the sounds of partisan strife that have reverbrated thru Washington in past weeks were stilled, a distinguished audience foregathered in the house to testify to the esteem in which the late president was held and to note their sorrow. Present there on the floor were President Coolidge, his successor, members of the cabinet and members of the supreme court; the diplomatic colony of Washington resplendent in court uniforms; members of congress and a saddened group of relatives and intimate personal friends of Mr. Harding. His widow sat in this group clad in the somber black of bereavement. Other departed presidents have been more eloquent than was Mr. Harding in the address of his secretary. He reviewed at length the accomplishments of his administration of the republic, but it was upon the humanness and kindness of the late president that he laid greatest stress. "It is fitting," said Secretary Hughes, "that we should render the official tribute of respect but the significance of this occasion is far deeper than that." "It is the tribute inspired by entire student body, voting for the queen of the "Big C Circus." The charms of the winner, according to the majes, who are said to have been mainly instrumental in electing her included: Figure perfect 34; hair long, not bobbed; features classical; eyes blue-gray; height 5 feet 3 inches. HUGHES PAYS TRIBUTE TO HARDING Anaheim Favored for Big Industrial Conference of Real Estate Assn. Employment of counsel by its committee to fight collection of the city occupational license fee, was voted today by the Anaheim Really Board on motion of President B. H. Sidnam, after Supervisor Godfrey Stbek, a member, had told the board that city council had authorized City Attorney H. V. Weisel to proceed with a "criminal" action to obtain the fee. Both Secretary Glenn D. Williams and Regional Director Everett A. White of Santa Ana favor Anaheim's being chosen as the place of meeting of the state industrial conference, J. E. Schumacher reported. The contest lies between Anaheim and San Diego. Some 300 delegates would come here, making the meeting a highly important one. Bird V. Beeber was in the chair. The luncheon was held as usual at the Cherry Blossom. The board's resolution followed a lengthy discussion in which various members made clear their positions in the matter. Acting Chairman Beebe continued the committee. City Attorney Weisel wishes to file a complaint against some one member in order to make it a test case, said President Sidnam. Stock explained that the changes in the law did not increase the fee, but made other classes of businessmen subject to it. Godfrey asked how the board could expect the merchants to pay the fee, if the realtors didn't. The state fee was 'another matter,' in Stock's opinion. Discrimination, in that many businesses don't pay the fee, is what the realtors object to, said Beeble. Later in the discussion, Stock said that the merchants wanted the tax because it protected them from fly by night merchants who spent only a month in the city and then conducted a sale. For the same reason six months' payment instead of three months' was now asked. W. B. Allen, who has taken a leading part in the fight, said that he had always paid the fee cheerfully, but that he didn't think it legal and regarded it as exorbitant. President B. H. Sidnam declared Los Angeles and other cities had abandoned the tax. In his opinion catalog houses were Deputy City Assessor Jayne is rushing preparation for the annual assessment before March 1. Anaheim's assess last year was $9,000,000; increase over the previous because of reappraisal of the city. There will be no recall this year.

Other departed presidents have been more eulogized than was Mr. Harding in the address of his secretary.

"It is fitting," said Secretary Hughes, "that we should render the official tribute of respect but the significance of this occasion is far deeper than that. "It is the tribute inspired by love of country, as laying aside the difference and controversies which seem trivial in the face of man's adventures and God's providence, we stand united by the indisoluble bonds of a common patriotism, knowing well that ungrateful republics cannot endure.

Wagner Ranch Expect Big Increase in New Assessment Starting Mar. 1 Deputy City Assessor Harry Wayne is rushing preparations for the annual assessment beginning March 1. Anaheim's assessment last year was $9,000,000, a big increase over the previous year because of reappraisal of the entire city. There will be no reappraisal this year. That means a property which has not been improved within the last year will be assessed the same as last year. There will be a very satisfactory increase in the total assessment, however, because of the new construction which totalled more than 2½ millions last year and because of the new subdivisions which made over 350 residence lots out of what was formerly assessed as ranch property. New tracts include Clementine-st, 22 lots; Clementine-st Annex, 10 lots; Anaheim Ex. Tract No. 601, 43 lots; Mother Colony, 49 lots; Homebuilders, 45 lots; St. Catherine's, 60 lots; Worthmore, 39 lots; Worthmore Annex, 40 lots; Vineyard, 56 lots.
