Oil Near Flagstaff

A new oil district has been dis
covered northeast of Flagstaff

ten miles has been taken up in
oil claims by local people.
There sre plenty of indications
of oil and an expert oil man
who visited this section, claims

oil in quantities to be found.
Among the locators are: W. w.

Northern Arizona Fair

A CROWDED mass meeting OF
citizens of Yavapai county, on
Tuesday, August 5, formed the
Northern Arizona Fair Associa-
ton and outlined plans to display
in Prescott during October, 1913,
a comprehensive exhibition of
the mineral, agricultural and
other resources of Mohave, Coco
nino, Navajo, Apache and Yava-
pal counties. Letter have been
written to the boards of super
visors of these counties asking
cooperation. More than $4,000
has been raised in Yavapai coun-
ty by private subscription, to
provide entertainment and nee
essary space for exhibits.
The race track within one mile
of Prescott, is being placed in
excellent condition for the auto
mobile, harness and other racing
features to be provided during
the fair.
R. M. Fredericks, president of
the Prescott National bank and
Judge F. w. Wells, president of
the Bank of Arizona, two of the
busiest men in the state are Civ
ing their services to the enter
prise as president and treasurer,
respectively.
A representative of the associ-
alton will appear before each
board of supervisors of the coun-
ties named. at their mid August
meeting. to present the claims of
the association, for the consider
alton of the citizens of these
counties.
Seven industrial exhibitors
have already applied for space
and others have signiied their
intention of exhibiting. 1t is
agreed on all sides that the North
ern Arizona Fair will not inter-
fere with the success of the State
Fair, to be held at Phoenix. 1t
will rather be a benefit to that
and other kindred exhibitions.
While the dates have not been
definitely decided opon they will
come between those of the New
Mexico State fair, at Albuquer-
que and the second Arizona State
fair. at Phoenix, which begins
November 2.
The Yavapai board of super
visors has signified its willing
ness to contribute 81, 500, the
allowed by law for this
purpose. toward the success of
the undertaking.

Auditors Ride All Trains

Auditors, spoken OF among
railroad men as riders" are
now on all trains operated in
Arizona. They have been de-
tailed to collect information to
be used in fighting the three-cent
fare law and any reductions in
rates that may be ordered by the
state corporation commission or
interstate commerce commission.
These riders first made their
appearance on all passenger and
freight trains about thirty days
ago. They will remain at work
thirty days longer, and in two
or three months will be put back
on for short time.
The rider on train follows
the conductor closely and sets
down each passenger in a little
book carried for the purpose.
The points of departure and des-
tination are noted. On the
freights the auditors collect
every scrap of information re-
garding the freight that is han
died.
Railroad officials are reticent
concerning the purpose behind
the collection of this information
which is rather an expensive
proceeding. but it is stated on
the best authority that the data
will be used before the Arizona
corporation commission and in
terstate commerce commission
in future actions; also before
the United States circuit court of
appeals in fighting the three cent
fare law.
After the three-cent fare law
passed by the state legislature
at the first session had been rati-
fled by the people the railroads
began to fight in the federal
courts. 1t was carried to the
circuit court at San Francisco
and a temporary injunction re-
the state from putting
the law into effect was granted.
That injunction is still in effect,
and it is presumed that the
judges are writing their decision
If the decision is against the rail-
roads, they will doubtless take
the matter to the federal court
of appeals.
At the third extra session last
spring the legislature passed an
other three-cent law which was
designed to supersede the one in
court, but the Southern Pacific
invoked the referendum against
it. Gazette.

BTRDNO ARRIVES
TO TAKE POSITION

John ]. Birdno, who was re-

ceiver by President Wilson, has
arrived in Phoenix to take up
his new duties and become a per-
manent resident of the city. Mr..
Birdno and Thomas F. Weedin,
editor of the Florence Tribune.
are the only two men in Ari-
zona; who have received federal
appointments by the president
and both are we'll qualified to fill
the positions and the appoint
ments have been favorably COM
mented upon throughout the
state.
Mr.. Birdno; accompanied by
his daughter, Miss Blanche Bird
no, arrived in Phoenix last even
ing, and next Monday morning
he will enter upon his new work.
There is hardly a better known
man in Arizona than Mr.. Birdno
and he is ranked as one of the
foremost politicians in the state.
He came to Arizona twenty
eight years ago and during these
years he has been prominent in
all public affairs and had the
honor of being the first democra-
tic state chairman of Arizona.
For the past nineteen years
Mr.. Birdno has been editor of
the Graham Guardian, one of the
strongest democratic papers in
the state, and for ten years was
county assessor. His appoint
ment as land office receiver was
made July 10 and the term of
Office will be for four years, but
at the end of that time, friends
of Mr.. Birdo declare, he will be
so thoroughly Phoenician that
he will remain here permanently
and become as enthusiastic
booster as the residents.
The trip from Stafford to Phoe-
nix was made by automobile,
and in speaking of it Mr.. Birdno
said that the roads were in good
shape and that he had experien-
ced no trouble with the machine.
In September he will be joined
by Mrs. Birdno and his other
two daughters. Gazette.

GOOD ROADS in
NORTHERN ARIZONA

ern Arizona and with the man
ner in which the people of thai
section are going about the fur
ther improvement of their high
ways, Ernest Douglas, a mem
Der of the Gazette news force,
returned to Phoenix last evening.
He went to Prescott July 2 and
spent the final ten days of his
vacation motoring through Yava-
pal, Coconino, Navajo and
Apache counties with State En-
gineer Lamar Cobb.
The trip was a highly enjoy
able one for the Gazette man
and a profitable one for Engineer
Cobb, who was able to acquaint
himself with the condition of the
highways in the northern coun-
ties and to confer with the vari-
Gus supervisors regarding their
plans for expending road funds.
At st. Johns, the county seat of
Apache. he secured many valu-
able pointers on modern road
building from w. A. Grassland,
an engineer connected with the
United States Office of public
roads, At the request of the
Apache supervisors Mr.. Cross
land and an assistant were sent
out to superintend the expendi-
ture of $4,000. raised blythe sale
of a recent road bond issue.
Some trouble was experienced.
At Concho, a little settlement
fifteen miles out of st. Johns on
the Holbrook road, a defective
rear axle in Engineer Cobb's
Franklin car snapped. The car
was laid up there four DAYS until
an axle could be obtained from
the Los Angeles agency. Friday
night the car was stuck fast in
the mud way between Holbrook
and Winslow. An attempt was
being made to run to Winslow
after dark and an area covered
by small cloudburst was enter
ed. The machine skidded into
hole at the side of the road and
was unable to pull itself out.
Cobb, Douglas and Chauffeur
Bob Bennett sat in the car
from 9 p. m. to a. m., shivering
and praying for daylight. When
it was light they were able to Sc
cure planks from a near by wind
mill and get the Franklin out of
the mud.
Usually there was an extra
passenger or two along. Charles
H. Hinderer, supervisor of the
Prescott national forest, rode
with Engineer Cobb from Pres
colt to Flagstaff, near which
place he is now making some
field Investigations. William
Anderson and E. R. Lamport,
road superintendent and ASST
slant surveyor of Coconino coun-
ty. went in the Franklin from
Flagstaff to Winslow over the
road south of the Santa Fe
track. which was by far the
worst of any encountered on the
journey. Barney Stiles, a su-
pervisor of Navajo county, ira
veled with the Cobb party from
Winslow to st. Johns.
Between Williams and Flag
staff the forest service is spend
ing $13, 600 in improving the
road. Several road gangs are
now at work and much splendid
work is being done.
Most of the road from Flag
staff to Canyon Padre, twenty
five miles southeast, is excellent
For miles it passes through a
forest of cedars. There is little
soil here nothing but volcanic
cinders, which are an excellent
road making material. Natural
road material is plentiful
throughout northern Arizona.
The Canyon Padre crossing is
one of the worst in the state.
