WICHITA TO HOLD GUSHER CELEBRATION Opening of Big 0il Well Near City to Be Basis for Great Civic Festivities. By the Assoclated Press. WICHITA, Kans, December 13— Flushed with the excitement of bringing in a huge gusher in the city’s back yard, heralding the opening of a big Kansas oil field, Wichita has designated Decem- ber 18 as “Gusher day” and set about to arrange an elaborate civic celebration. Miss Arlene Goodrich, pretty 18-year- old daughter of Willard Goodrich, on whose farm the discovery well is located, has been named “‘Queen*Petrolia” and as such will reign over the festivities. The Goodrich farm is less than 10 miles from the cily. i Wichita's fastest growing industry, the manufacture of airplanes, will be represented in the activities by “King Aviation,” who will parade with the petroleum queen, while planes drone overhead. An 82-foot oil derrick, to be erected at the intersection of the city's two principal streets, will furnish the royal throne and reviewing stand. Vice Presi- dent-elect Charles Curtis and Senator Arthur Capper have been invited to Lattend. The Goodrich well, which has flowed at the rate of 9,000 barrels daily, is the biggest oil well ever located in Kansas. Production is being pinched back due to lack of storage space. Its discovery a week ago caused much excitement in the city, and there has been a big play in leases, it being estimated that more than $1,500,000 has been spent in leases in the county since the oil BONES FOUND IN RUINS OF HOME RAZED BY FIRE Young Man, His Housekeeper and Boy Are Believed Victims.
