Main Street Repair
A Great Need Here

One OF the improvements that
Lordsburg needs most, following the
sewerage proposition, is the repair
and grading of its main street. This
bog hole has been an eye-sore for
many many years. dry weather
the street is fairly respectable but
in wet weather it is intolerable The
city is growing too rapidly to let
this condition exist any longer. II is
time something be done.
AS the city is incorporated enough
road-tax could be collected here to
put Railroad ave-, in fair condition.
None Of the road-tax in Lordsburg
goes to the county. Under the in
struction of the city council this
money could be collected and spent
or a representative of the county
engineer could make the collection.
Mr.. Johnson put the tax receipt books
in the hands of B. B. Ownby but Mr..
Ownby has not found time to do the
work being occupied in the repair of
the Silver City-Lordsburg highway.
He states that he is willing to turn
it over to the city or to another desig-
mated collector,
Having an excellent road workinc
force organized it is quite possible
that under Mr. Ownby's direction the
work of grading Lordsburg's main
street could be accomplished either
by the city or by the county.
1t is time some action should be
taken in this matter before the winter
rains set in. Every citizen of Lords
burg should get behind the matter
and see it through.
w. F. Ritter states that Superin-
tendent Fitz Gerald of the Southern
Pacific Company during a recent visit
to Lordsburg said that it was pos
sible the company would assist the
city at any time they saw fit to be-
gin the work of grading and building
up Railroad Ave. The ground occu-
pied as a street is railroad property
and it is more than likely that Mr..
Fitz Gerald would have an appropria-
tion made for the company's part of
carrying on the work.
The matter is one worth receiving
immediate attention of the people of
Lordsburg.

Oil Company incorporates

Articles of incorporation of the

Western Liberal this week the
company is now ready for busi-
ness. The company has $500
acres of land leased or located
northwest of Lordsburg This

He believes this land covers
one of the greatest oil pools he
has ever examined and when de-
veloped that it will equal the
Heddleton fields of Oklahoma
where oil is found from l80 TO
1900 feet and sees no reason why
we should not strike oil here at
the same depth.
The stock is divided into 250,
600 shares at the par value Of
$l.00. ANY one wishing stock
can buy it at 25c per share by
addressing the company at Lords
burg.

Visit Oil Property

A number of local men visited
the property of the New Mexico
ard Arizona Oil and Gas Com
pany near Bowie, Ari2on, Sun
day inspecting the drilling being
done there.
About seven years ago a COW man
drilled a we'll on certain claim now
held by this company and encounter
ed water for his stock at depth of
2i8 feet. He discovered that II water
was not pumped out for three or four
DAYS the oil floated on the top of the
water. This led to an investigation.
and test of the sand from the well
showed pieces of pure asphaltum
shale and acid tests floated oil from
the sand.
The COW man and some friends put
on some oil claims and started a test
hole near the well, with a light rig,
drilling a three inch hole to a depth
of 1000 feet, the capacity of the rig.
In drilling they encountered a num-
Der Of gas pockets that would burn,
and each sand stratum passed through

showing of oil on the bottom.

Men Wanted To
Designate Lands

News with double value to citizens
IN this section was received this week
by the local United States Commits
sioner from the u. S. Geological Sur
vcy at Washington, d. c. The first
items is of interest 60 homestcaders
under the 640 acre stock-raising
homestead act. It is to the effect that
all expediency will be made in desig-
mating lands as enterable under the
stock raising law and this work
should be accomplished at once.
The other item is that men arc
needed to do the work of classifying
lands and the government is offering
an attractive salary to those who are
qualified to make classifications.
The details follow:
The government is in urgent need Of
number Of qualified men TO assist
in the work Of classifying public lands
N the western states with regard to
their value for grazing and raising
forage crops. A large appropriation
for this work became available in
June, and Secretary Lane, of the In
terror Department, has instructed the
United States Geological Survey to
expedite this classification in every
possible way The area to be classi-
fled in the near future is more than
20000.000 acres and extends into fif-
teen states.
Appointments to the survey staff
are made on certification by the Civil
Service Commission. The commits
sion has announced open competitive
examinations for the position of jun
ior land classifier, at salaries of ST.
$50, to 81 1900 year, assistant land
classifier at salaries of 81 500
to $1,800, and classfiers at entrance
salaries of 81 800 to $2.4O0. Each az
pointee's expenses when on field dut'
will be paid by the Survey. No for
NAL written examination is prescribed
by the commission, and candidates
are not REQUIRED to assemble for cV-
animation in any particular place.
They will be required to file with the
commission certificates as to their
training and experience, from which
atings will be made by the commits
sion.
The Survey y especially desirous of
obta ming for tnis work recent college
graduates who have specialized in
agriculture or civil engineering There
are also openings in the higher posi-
tions for men who are training in
nlant geology, geology, and foresty.
For the junior grade actual field ev-
oerience in land classification work is
not required, but such experience is
essential in the other prades The
Director of the GEOLOGICAL Survey, at
Washington, will furnish upon request
further information concerning the
examination or the work. The Civil
Service Commission, at Washington,
or any of its local secretaries will fur
nish the proper applications forms
and detailed instructions as to their
use.
This work gives 10 young men with
.,chnicu training an opportunity to
enter an attractive profession and to
be of important service to the country
at this time in stimulating jhe utili-
zation of western lands. A large in
crease in the production of live stock
will, it is hoped, result from the class
'fication now in progress.
