About Oil Probabilities.

NOgaleS Is nuCh CNNiVo" D'Ni
the discovery of what is considered
excellent oil formation in the
neiphborhood of the town. The
newspapers of the latter announce
that all of 5000 acres have been
located on the formation. They
unite in pulling for development of
the section and in ingenthusiasm
over the discovery liberal rein.
This is as it should be, rejecting
credit upon the good sense of the
newspaper men of the town and
assuring early development OF the
field. For the latter purpose a
half dozen companies have already
been formed and incorporation be-
gun. A vigorous, winning way OF
going about things this, a fact
largely due to the enterprise and
intelligence of the excellent press
of Nogales.
That oil will be found at Noga-
les when the drill goes down, we
have no manner of doubt; this for
the reason that we have every con-
fidence that it will be found at the
base of the new Morenci coal field
where Jim Pickett has religiously
held to oil locations the last several
wears, despite, until the recent
coal discovery, the discouraging
comments of nearly the entire
community. The Nogales discov-
cry we consider confirmation Of
the theory that there is oil here,
confirmation additional to that
given by the discovery of coal for
the reason that we believe a great
oil belt to parallel in Arizona the
California oil belt. This is the
theory of oil men on the coast
who h rave given the matter
thorough study. A line drawn
from the northern end OF the Cali
fornia oil fields drops due south
west, excepting side departures
such as at Summerland, without a
falter to the southern extremity at
Newport Bay where the formation,
following its steady course, runs
into the ocean. A line drawn on
the map from Morenci to Nogales
parallels almost to a shade the
California belt. Between the oil
and coal formation here and that
in California there is the strongest
similarity on the surface.-Clifton-
Morenci Standard.

And He Didn't Get q Ride.
HEBRON, Nov. 10, 1904.

Not being overburdened this year with
interest in politics, thought would
! not journey to Hartford to cast my little
vote. No doubt my friends (what few
there are left of them) will miss my
smiling countenance. Perhaps some
will think am sick; but such is not the
fact. | never felt much better in my
life, have an abundant appetite and can
cat my share Of pinfeathery hen once

down to the Hebron town hall and see
if / could not pick up few items for
The Democrat. But did not meet with
much success. AS nearly as l could

of his apples and somebody else has not.
On my way to the town hall man over

'Mr. Roosevelt is my man." He says,
'If that ish de case you cannot ride nit

Soon after that another team came
along. The man was alone and by the
color of his nose l took him to he a

Free Advertising Abuse.

The demand for free advertising is in
extent, persistence and ingenuity beyond
the belief of any but those who have
had experience in the business. A man
who would never think of going into a
grocery store and requesting the pro-
prietor to donate barrel of -four or into
shoe store and telling the owner that
IL he has no objection he thinks he'll
help himself to a pair of shoes will walk
confidently into newspaper office and
prefer his request for several dollars
worth of free advertising and feel nightly
offended if refused.
The solicitor of free advertising is al
ways sure that the proprietor would be
"glad of something to help fill up the
paper" He is just as glad as the gro
ceryman is glad of some one to help
carry off his stock without payment.
Time and again under the guise of news
items matter is presented which is plain
advertising and if used at all should be
paid for as such.
The newspaper proprietor expects to
furnish certain amount of free adver-
Using to religious, charitable and public
enterprises. If he didn't he would be
looked on DIS ucdtucu, Hdiu heditc
mercenary, lacking in public spirit. His
contribution is accepted as matter of
course, and rarely is he accorded word
of thanks. Sometimes he refuses to do
nate as much space as the promoter of
some enterprise desires, and then he is
looked upon as unreasonable and dis
obliging. The proprietor also expects
and is willing to give little free adver-
Using to those who run paid advertise
ments in his paper.
This is a matter of businesses courtesy
which is rarely abused. But with the
horde of solicitors for free advertising
which constantly besiege the newspaper
offices, with no possible claim upon his
courtesies save the hope of getting some
thing for nothing, the proprietor has no
sympathy whatever.
The duties that the newspaper pro-
prietor and editor owe to the public are
numerous, diverse and exacting. 1t is
high time that the public should under
stand that these duties do not include
the sacrifice of considerable amount of
valuable space for the benefit of individ-
uals or enterprises which give nothing
in return.-Nyack IN. W Star.

REST looking shote that ever lived. The
next lay, the deacon levied on the big
hog which the Law prevented him from
doing while Mike had only one pig.
