HOW PETROLEUM FORMS
 4 FRENCH EXPLANATION
Why There Should Be Great Deposit
 In Tonto Basin Region.

1 The following interesting article erary Digest, published November IA, is of much importance to the people who are now opening up an oil field l in the Tonto Basin at Roosevelt, says l the Arizona Record.
 "ORIGIN OF PETROLEUM M-The long-vexed question of the origin of deposits of petroleum seems to be
 settled by the investigations of MT. Jean Chautard, the result of which was recently presented to the French Academy of Science According to Mir Chautard extensive research in different parts of the globe proves 1 that petroleum bearing rocks never have characteristics denoting an ig- neous origin. They are always sedi-
 mentary rocks and, which indicate alternations of marine and lagunary
 conditions Such alterations are, of course. the sign of intermittent re- gressions of the waters covering them. This enables us,' says the Bib liotheque Universelle Oausanne, Au- susD, to form an idea of the con- ditions favoring the formation of pe- troleum. At the lagunary periods there was an accumulation of organic debris. the remains of animals and vegetables which had either lived and died there or had been brought thith- CT.
 The marine occurrences brought impermeable sediments which covered this debris and protected it from oXl- dizing it to become bituminiZed. Hence petroleums are of organc origin and not mineral"
 Regarding the foregoing, Col James
 A. Fleming, who has been in the oil
 business practically all of his life, said:
 This seems to follow closely on
 the statements of the United States
 Geological report of the conditions at Roosevelt which they say is a sedimentary formation intermiXed
 with fossils or marine matter such as
 fish bones and other fish life decay.

Unique Question Is Raised Involving
 Activities of Schwab's Company.
fAssocrArED PRESS pIsPArcHl

WASHINGTON, Dec Formal in- quiry was made by the United States government Of the Bethlehem Steel company to learn if the firm intended the construction of submarines for the use of the belligerent powers of Europe. Charles M. Schwab. president of the company, and other officials of the concern, in response to an in vitation of the state department, eX- plained orally their position, and agreed to submit it in writing in a few days. In the meantime, neither they nor the state department off cials Would disclose the extent of the company's activities
 The question under consideration is how American firms may go in for the manufacture of materials for use in the construction of war craft with out violating the neutrality of the United States. Although the export

gangs of men were at the task of clear ing away the debris to allow the build CTS opportunity to put a fine looking business block on the corner that is often regarded as the busiest in the city.
 A glance at the story of the increase in pOstoffice receipts for the month of November over that of November d year ago, gives food for thought as to the condition of the city. No com munity that is not going ahead can shw any such remarkable growth.
 The orange and grape fruit crop of the Salt River valley will this year again carry to the east and north the story of what can be done in the way of perleCt fruit under the smiling skies of this section. Last year Arizona $ best oranges brought phenomenal pric- es in all markets and this year they will command prices just as eXhorbi- tant because they are the best fruit of the kind raised in the United States.
 The mountains to the east and north of the Salt River valley are now cov- cred with a blanket of snow giving promise of much water in the great Roosevelt reservoir next year for the farmers and with the water will come again giant crops. There is more water now back of the storage dam than , there was last year at this time and the promise is rosy that the spring will see much more water than ever before in the great water bank.
 All this will give the farmers smile, and the smile will be communicated to the people of the valley and this city. The idea that the future is full of good things for Phoenix and the valley must spread for the facts show there are no better places than this in which to make the home for the future.

Business and Professional Men Quick to Align Them selves With Movement to Spread Gospel of Smiles and Sunshine
Boost for Phoenix.


 The idea of q Phoenix Prosperity club as suggested by The Republican a couple of days ago, has immediately caught on and numbers of the business and professional men of the city are en- rolling themselves in the organization the only obligation of which is to smile, tell your friends what a great place this is to live, spread the gospel of sun shine and roses through the winter, and thus elevate the tone of the community in which you live.
 There is not day passes but that something transpires to show the folks back in the Wintry and sleet driven east what a superior place the Salt River valley is. Here the sun shines almost perpetually. and through the winter months, that is those that are counted winter anywhere else, the air IS balmy as spring day, and the sun shines with invigorating warmth one one of the finest spots in all the world.
 More people ought to know what a great place Phoenix is You Mr and Mrs. Phoenician can assist in this work by boosting for the community al ways. Tell the folks back east about it. Send them some of Arizonas beauty roses and let them know they grow out side here even in winter.
 Since the last boost story appeared in the paper there have been several things brought to the attention of Phoenix that speak well for the town, and give evidence of the fact that Phoenix is, and is going to be better. A few days ago passers by on Wash ington street at the corner of Center were obliged to go into the street to pass a corner where the buildings were recently destroyed by fire. Yesterday the work of rebuilding was begun and

5,OOO,OOO MOTOR CARS
 NEEDED FOR FARMS
Glance at Agricultural Market Shows That Possibilities Are Hardly
 Scratched.

Nearly one and a half million auto mobiles have been sold in the United States since 1902 when the business may be said really to have begun. The number of these machines that have gone to the scrap heap, is as yet negligible for commercial reckoning. The oldest is only twelve or thirteen years old. Everyone has seen the quaint old timers in daily service. These facts cause many to wonder where the hundreds of thousands of automobiles manufactured each year will go They figure that there is now one automobile to each seventy or eighty people in the country. How many possible purchasers remain to be supplied?
 Without taking into account the scrapping of old machines, which must soon become a real factor it
 may be said that stupendous as the business is, the possibilities have not been much more than scratched Not quite 50 per cent of the auto
 mobiles in use are owned by farm ers-and to the farmer the automo- bile is far more a utility than a luxury. It has become a real farm necessity, so recognized by all the farm press.
 There are in the United States ac- cording to the census of 1910, six million three hundred and sixty-one thousand, five hundred and two farms, with a total value of forty billion
 nine hundred and ninety-one million, four hundred and forty nine thousand, and nintey dollars-an average value
 per farm of six thousand, four hun
 dred and forty-four dollars. A supply averaging one automobile
 to a farm a long way in the fu-
 ture-but the demand is not incon
 ceivable. Some day, without doubt. it will be approXimated-and when it
 comes it will represent a degree of
 progress and efficiency as far ahead
 of the present as the supply of that
 way will be ahead of the present supply.
 Thus far the supply is only about 10 per cent The manufacturers would have to produce over five mil lion more cars to fill the farm mar
 ket alone.
 And there is vet the city demand to be taken care of
 These are undoubtedly some of the facts that led President William Liv- ingtsone of the Dime Savings Bank Detroit. to speak so enthusiastically of
 the liberal support the banks are giv- l ing the automobile dealers especially i in the small towns where the dealers
 do large part of their business with farmers.
 Commodore Livingstone said in his address before the Amercan Bank
 CTS Association: As the greatest number of cars
 are sold during seven months of the year. makers and dealers have been

THING.

The Louisville Times OF Saturday,

Regents and has been since the school
was founded. He has always taken a
great interest IN Its affairs and is thor
oughly familiar with its history and It's

Mr.. Sullivan clearly sets forth that
every action of the Board of Regents has
been in good faith and strictly In accord
ance with the provisions of the law.
That Mr.. Sullivan is an able lawyer no
one will deny. Neither will it be Ques-

better equipped with the facts than any
man in the State TO handle the question
which he discusses.
We regret that we haven the space 10
