WICHITA TO HOLD
GUSHER CELEBRATION
Opening of Big Oil Well Near City
to Be Basis for Great
Civic Festivities.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WICHITA, Kans., December 13.--
Flushed with the excitement of bringing
in huge gusher in the city's back yard,
heralding the opening of 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 city.
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
ATTEND.
The Goodrich well, which has flowed
at the rate of 5000 barrels daily, is the
biggest oil we'll 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 big play
in leases, it being estimated that more
than 81 100000 has been spent in leases
and royalty in the county since the oil
play started.
