WEEKLY CREST OF EVENTS That Haue Been Noted by The NelUs' Staff for the Edifcation or Its Readers. Really Worth q Perusdl.

Local Capitalists Will Drill for Oi
 For years the question of
 whether or not oil underlies
 the surface of the land sur
 rounding Holbrook has been
 more or less discussed by ci- tizens of the town. During the last few weeks this ques- tion has been answered in the affirmative to the satis- faction of a number of the prominent men in the com munity. The result is that a corporation is now being formed for the purpose of drilling for oil, and final ar engagements will be complet- ed in a short time. This corporation will be composed of some of the ablest finan- ciers in Holbrook, and suffi- cient capital will be available to drill a well to a depth of $500 feet, or greater if ne- cessary. It is not likely that the general public will be asked to take stock in the corporation.
 The men at the head of the corporation have been led to take this action by the reports they have obtained from two oil experts who have thoroughly examined this territory within the last few weeks. These experts found oil sand, oil fossils and an oil dome, all of which are splendid indications that oil lies under the surface. Act ing upon the advice of these experts the Holbrook men have made filings on approx imately 2O,OO acres of land in the territory where the surface indications of oil are the best. As soon as the corporation is completed drilling will be started.

People Unduly Alarmed

w. II. OIldIIlUGIIlIlJ I1loIlc' ger of the L. B. Putney Mer cantile Co.,, received a fev days ago a communication from the Western Sugar Re finery Go. of San Francisco which contains information of interest to the readers o- the News, especially any who may be alarmed about a threatened famine in su' gar. Extracts from this communication are publish ed below.
 "There is no need for householders to have fears of a sugar shortage existing in these Western States, as there is an abundant supply of material on hand at the present moment, while a great quantity of beet will be produced between now and Jan. 1st. All the beet factories in California, Ore gon, Washington, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, not only have sufficient for their individual states, but have a great surplus which is be- ing shipped to Eastern mar kets to relieve the shortage exists there. This distribution to Eastern mar kets is being taken care of under authority o f M r. Hoover, who has been dele gated by President Wilson to take care of the distribu- tion of food products.
 ''It is very truea shortage of sugar exists east of Chi but no shortage exists in the States above mention ed, and the householder who buys in excess of the ordin- ary household requirements is using money to tie up sup plies which can be secured in the future when wanted, and there is no likelihood | of prices being higher than they are at pres ent time. Furthermore, to buy 50 lbs; when a househol- der is in the habit of buying ) lbs. is a very unpatriotic move. Such householders do not need the sugar imme- liately and can very well ouy it when it is wanted, and when buying in exces- sive quantities they simply put an extra burden on the railroads to transport the additional quantity at a time when it is not needed. The railroads have all they can do to take care of the normal daily requirements which | they are doing in a very eff clent manner
