AN ARIZONAN
 FOR ALL ARIZONA

The nomination of R. E. Morrison on the republican ticket for delegate to congress is the logical outcome oi the political principles he represents
 From a young man who over twenty years ago first came to Apache county and commenced the study and prac. tice of the law, he has labored assidu. ously and earnestly at the desk of his profession until today he is ranked as among the brightest and most conscientious lawyers in Ari. zona. He has come to the front on solely the merits of his ability, his excellent citizenship and his devotion to principles that gives his life the highest moral regard attainable. None know him better than do those with whom he is so we'll known in Prescott, his home. As we'll as else where, is this an indisputable fact. He has been elected to office in Yavapai twice as district attorney, and his pure record in that capacity, together with an able performance of the duties incidental thereto, gives him deservedlY commendable career to look back to. As the United States attorney of Arizona, there IS no occasion to say anything more than what is known of him by
 all in that capacity. He was clothed
 with exceptional powers of authority,
 but in the performance of all duties there was never an instance where he persecuted men or wilfully disre- garded the intent of the law at the securing of justice by stopping to personal, political or sectional preju- dices. MT. Morrison is of the gener- ation today that is giving the nation
 new blood, and he is an ideal type of that manhood that makes his candi- dacy again as decidedly pleas ing for one reason-he IS fearless and resolute. We predict his election, for the fossilized era that has lowered over Arizona in devotion to played out principles must give way sooner or later that the progressiveness of the day calls for. To elect a man to represent Arizona at the nations capital who on any matter of law to be enacted affecting the welfare or good of Arizona under conditions adverse to the political principles of belief, has been tried again and again to the humiliation of the material in- terests of Arizona. In other words we have had it rubbed in" on us to such an extent that Arizona has suffered
 socially and financially in conse- quence. Had it not been for the per sistent efforts of private individuals in making known the grandeur of the territory and in giving it a merited
 regard in one industrial channel as well well as another, and which the general government should have con- sidered officially, Arizona would have been still further behind in the march of its progress. The water storage, the chopping to pieces of home site lands into reserves, public buildings for cities that other places
 proudly today point to, experimental farms, school of mines in northern Arizona and other necessities that we have not, can be secured if the right
 man will for once be sent to make a
 demand for such. Statehood that is
 damaging fire" in the senate must have
 the political consistency of the people of Arizona to foster it. Under pres ent conditions of a partisan disregard
 it is hung up, and there is no reason

Infringing in" a Well.
The two engravings accompanying
this article We're made from SNAPSHOT
photographs taken at the bringing" of
a gusher at Beaumont. After the drill
had been sent through the quicksand
and the cap rock, the flinty substance
which is the roof of the cavern in
which the oil has long been stored, it
was known that success had crowned
the efforts of the drillers after just
year of labor. The drill was immedi-
ately hoisted out of the 1,100-foot pipe
which incased it, and the bailer was
brought into use. This is a bucket
fastened to contrivance which forces
it down into the tube and then pulls it
back out full of the mud, water and
grease which weighs down the oil at
the bottom. With each dip Of the bali
er, gas rises higher in the pipe, and
when the pressure has been reduced to
point where it is less than that of the
gas and oil underneath the flow COM
mences.
Along toward the last the bucket
came up with 80 much gas emulsified
with the mixture of mud and water
that the contents of the bucket fairly
boiled. Then came a time of great
anxiety. Would she come in with a
rush, shoot the bailer away up through
the top of the derrick and send out a
great shower of greasy rain in all d.
rections, or would she come softly, with
heavy, smooth flow? It was an ex-
citing moment, when what was believ-
ed to be the last trip Of the bailer was
commenced. Then, as the bucket came
up there came with it a gush of brown
foam.
Then slowly, majestically, arose a
fountain of green fluid until there was
steady stream of oil reaching nearly
to the top Of the derrick. Suddenly
there was whish of gas, as the last
vestige of pressure over the oil reser-
votr was removed and with a roar the
great jet arose far above the derrick.
The drillers then congratulated one an
other most joyfully, for, to oil appear
ances, the well was equal to a flow of
$4,000 barrels day, should its full ca.
pactty ever be necessary.

per. Anything in the shape of lease
or land title was foundation enough
for an airy structure to attract the at
tention of the gullible. The lust for
money was rampant. 1t was all gaul-
BILE. If fortune smiled, you made a
million; If not, you lost what you had.
But everybody seemed willing to take
the chance, to the full extent of his
pile.
Prices paid for land in the oil dis
trict were fabulous. Two negroes, liv-
ing in tumble-down shacks, received
for them $4,000 each. Men who want
led to start a bank paid $4,000 for the
privilege Of using little barber shop,
and the same amount was paid to a
small dry goods dealer whose lease was
wanted by spectators. A firm paid
$3.50 month for the use of platform
8x10. on which to conduct their opera
lions. Land went from 81 to $1OO,0OO
an acre in few days.
"Old Man" Higgins.
"Old Man" Higgins, who had been
n,
is the man who is responsible for Beau
mont's boom. For five or six years he
had been talking about the possibilities
of striking oil at Spindle Top, his talk
at last becoming so incessant and
wearisone that the people refused
longer to listen to him. That there
was oil in southwest Texas was con-
coded, but that Spindle Top had great
possibilities in that direction was look
ed upon as absurd.
At last, however, "Old Man" Higgins
succeeded in interesting George w.
Carroll, president of lumber company
and a wealthy resident. Carroll put I'D
the cash and Higgins began the search.
The first we'll struck oil at about 500
feet. but quicksand stopped operations.
This was repeated in a second we'll.
Then Carroll drew out and the 'folly''
of Higgins and Carroll was the joke
of the town. An observant man named
Lucas did not believe the venture was
an entire failure, however. He leased
a small patch near by and sunk shaft
GOO feet, finding oil and being stopped,
as were the others, by Qulcksand. Be-
lieving that If this vein of quicksand
could be pierced oil would be struck

Most of the manufacturing plants in

IN THE OIL CO COUNTRY ! i {, 1.
"BRlNGING IN" A GUSHER NEAR
BEAUMONT, TEXAS.
Tales of the Great Boom When For
tunes We're Made in Day-The In
itial Discovery of Oil and the De-
ve1oDment of the Oil Industry.

The chase of oil is almost as fascinat-
ing as the chase Of gold. And, in the
main it is nearly, If not quite, as profit
able. The greatest oil field in the coun-
try to-day is in Texas, with the town
of Beaumont as its center Other fields
notably those of Pennsylvania and
Ohio, are probably more remunerative
at the present, but the Texan, in look
ing into the future, sees his own State
far overshadowing all others in the oil
industry. The future Of oil in Texas
is, beyond cavil, bound to be sensa-
tional For that matter, it is sensation
al already. Nowhere else on earth has
so much ever been accomplished III so
short 4 time; nowhere else have lands
worth barely few cents an acre ad-
vanced in value far up into the thou
sands as they have in the Beaumont
district. Nowhere else, in fact, has de-
yelOpment been as rapid and remunera-
tive. And as yet, the Texas oil indus
try is in it's infancy, though millions OF
dollars have changed hands since its
start.
The advance of any wonderful boom,
whether in gold, oil or anything else, is
always attended with marvellous sto-
ries Of individual strikes and conse-
quent enormous profits. Beaumont is
no exception to this rule. 1t is but lit
tie more than year since Beaumont's
first car Of oil was sent into the outside
world. Since that time more than .
100000 Of barrels have been exported,
there are now nearly 100000 Of bar
rels in storage and probably 100000
of barrels have been wasted before the
gushers could be capped or controlled.
The Beaumont Fields.
When the oil excitement was at its
height in Beaumont, the influx Of peo-
pic was so great that trains were daily
run between that city and Houston, a
distance of a hundred miles, so that
people could obtain hotel accommodate
lions. Some men with little more than
the clothes they wore organized COM
panes with capital of millions-on pa

What Makes Great Successes.

1t took me some time to learn, but I
did learn, that the supremely great
managers, such as you have these days,
never do any work themselves worth
speaking about; their point is to make
others work while they think. l ap-
piled this lesson in after life, so that
business with me has never been Ia
care. My young partners did the work
and did the laughing, and 1 commend
to you the thought that there is very
little success where there is little
laughter. The workman who rejoices
in his work and laughs, away its dis
comforts is the man sure to rise, for 1t
is what we do easily, and what we like
to do, that we do well.-Andrew Carde
