| per hundred 1 was asked if 1 thought the strike would soon be set tied. I informed the reporter T did not think it would until the companies assumed a more reasonable attitude and showed an inclination to treat with their former employees. That to my personal knowledge very few men were leaving the district at this time and going to Duncan, and that most of them that were leaving were going down from Morenci." also gave the reporter some information that he apparently did not care to publish. 1 told him that regretted very much that the state had been put to the needless expense that it had maintaining troops in the dis trict. That the supervisors of that county had generously allowed the sheriff one deputy to control the situ- ation in district where 5000 mex were on a strike; that the companies were paying the guards deputized by the sheriff to protect the companies property; that as far as I can de- termine the county was making no effort at all to maintain law or order or to pay any of the necessary bills incurred by the sheriff's office during the strike. It was necessary for me to go to Morenci to pick out camp site for the location of our camp there, and I was able to make the trip on day when the sheriff was sending his under sheriff on official business to. Morenci, and that l re- ceived bill for the auto hire for the trip" ss,i
 I told the reporter that q consid- cred that Sheriff Cash had used excel lent judgment in handling the situa- tion in order that rioting might be prevented in that district. That I knew personally of his having ar rested several of the union leaders and having compelled these men to leave the district because he thought their presence and advice was liable to cause trouble. Among these men F mention Tribolet, Mckenzie and Tarbell." a
 did not say anything to the report CT about Charpentieris trip to Fl Paso and it's results.
 I regret very much that articles of this kind are being published, as mis- statements of this kind, or any other kind, regarding the situation at Cliff ton do no good and are apparently made for the deliberate purpose of causing friction or misleading the gen. eral public as to the real conditions and the attitude of persons connected with the trouble in the Clifton and Morenci districts. Very sincerely yours,
 Chas. w. Harris,
 Adjutant General.

FRISCO EXPOSITION TO
 CLOSE ON DECEMBER 4TH

San Francisco, Nov. 30.-The Panama-Pacif1c International Ex- position will end-go out in a blaze of glory-at midnight on December A. There will be no anti-climax; the exposition will cease to be with as much eclat as it began it's existence on Febru- ary 20th last.
 At noon of December 4th every one on the Pacific coast will pause long enough to drink the toast which President Wilson will be asked to write and to add ferver- ently:
 Hail and farewell Panama-Paci- fic Exposition.
 From that hour until 11:30 D. m. there will be dancing, concerts, parades, feasting, and, as night falls, displays of fireworks. At 11:30 D. m. President Charles c. Moon will deliver an address to an audience which, it is expected onfidently, will equal in number that of the opening day. At the stroke of midnight MT. Moon will press an electric button which will eXtinguish the lights; every flag will come down; taps will be sounded from the heights of the Tower of Jewels by a corps of buglers; the exposition chorus will sing ''Auld Lang Syne" in the Court of the Universe and the gathered thousands will take up the old refrain.
 The mammoth salvo of skyrock- cts will burst against the sky and in letters of fire will be written into the night:
 Farewell, P. P. I. E."

 Without commenting on the spec tacle of an adjutant general of con- monwealth prostituting his office by allying himself with the forces of disorder and lawlessness in an indus trial dispute, we would state for the benefit of the public, that the charges which you make, that we have been and are importing strikebreakers in to the Duncan refugee camp, are ab- solutely false, as you knew or should have known them to be.

Full Runs Beinu Made.

The runs in the field now are
based on the entire production. The
amount which is not going to storage
tanks is being taken by the pipe
lines, and all those who want to sell
are getting their oil taken at 6Oc a
barrel. Within the past three months
the price of oil has been doubled.
Most of the producers are now in
good shape financially, and they are
making money. The best days in
an oil field are those following the
flush production. The price is better,
the flush production usually pays the
lease and drilling expenses and by
that time the producers are able to
put some real money in the bank.
Those days have been reached in the
Healdton field, the excitement is gone
and the producers are settled down
to work, producing and selling oil.

Robert Gillian and c. E. Sykes left
here yesterday afternoon to make To-
cation for an important oil test that
will be drilled near the center of
northwest quarter or

learned today. 1t is understood that
rig timbers will be started to the loca-
tion today and a drilling contract will
be awarded at once. Dallas parties
will have charge of the well. The
test is to be drilled to $500 or 5000
feet, and it will be one of the most
interesting tests ever drilled in the
county. Biologists have made favor
able reports on the location. The
company has plenty of funds to drill
without delay. and the well will be
watched with much interest.

Competition is going to bring the
price of Healdton crude up. One
producer has already been offered 4
premium for his oil in storage. and
it is stated that one of the pipe lines
has offered to eliminate the produc-
ers from the three per cent reduction
made for dirt to the companies that
run oil exclusively to that line. What
one purchaser does, the other pur.
chasers> will have to do, and compe-
tition will force the price higher and
advances are expected within a short
time.

Struck Wood at 1900 Feet.

One of the first deep wells drilled in
the west was put down near Huxley,
New, by the Central Pacific railway
in 1881, in search for good water.
The well reached depth of 1850
feet. but the water obtained was OF
very unsatisfactory quality. At 1,7OO
feet. the drill encountered a bed OF
'petrified CLANS" and the record
states that at 1900 feet well-preserv-
ed redwood timber" was found.-Oll

1,150 feet the drill went into salt
water. Mr.. Hamon does not regard
that the well is condemned by the
finding of salt water, and siX-inch
casing has been ordered in and the
water will be cased off, and the well
drilled deeper. No. l on this lease
was a big gas well. S. A. Apple ct
al, drilled near it and found a prolific
gas sand but the Hamon-Colcord well
missed the gas sand.

The Greatness of His Love.
(By L. A. Linder)

There are things too small and things
too grand
For human minds to understand,
But God, our Maker, knows it all;
He sees mems cares and sparrows'
fall,
His eyes of love all space behold,
And atoms parts to Him unfold.
Lies problems and perpleXities
May drift me out on troubled seas;
Come stress and strife and trouble
sore,
And wind and wave about me roar;
| hear voice when storms grow wild
1t says: Trust me, thou art my
child"
