ARIz0NA-0 OKLAHOMA
 OIL LANDS SAID TO
 BE BEST IN DISTRICT
Emil Marks and J. w. Hogan, of Bisbee, Now in Tulsa Field, Having Ground Ex- perted and Contracted for Drilling of Well.

Emil Marks and J. w. Hogan, direc- tors of the Arizona-O Oklahoma Oil con- pany, who are now in the Tulsa field looking after the interests of the com pany, have wired here that the pros poets there are more encouraging than they had been led to believe Marks and Hogan will return to Bisbee very shortly with a more elaborate report.
 In a wire received in Bisbee yester- day Marks and Hogan called the land of the Arizona Oklahoma company the very best in the district"
 Dr. Fleming, noted oil geologist of the Oklahoma regian, and a prac- tical man as well, has been engaged by the company to report on the prop erty. His preliminary work, according to the Bisbeeites, accounts for their optimism. Fleming mad been engaged to inspect the property and also to get up a contract for drilling on the prop erty for the approval of the two visi- tors.
 The property of the Arizona Okla homa Oil company is very centrally located in what is known as the great est oil belt in the country-near Tul- sa. Over a year ago Bisbee men be- came interested in the land and organ. ized the company which purchased the acreage. Owing to the disinclina. tion of the investing public in Arizona to become interested in anything but coppers the oil promotion was slow. Now, however, the company appears to be in good shape and expects to send down its first well in very short while.
 Meanwhile, stockholders in Bisbee are watching with interest and expec. tation the progress made on the prop erty.

WOMEN WILL PERFECT BRANCH OF LOYALTY
 LEAGUES IF AMERICA

Every loyal, American woman of the Warren District is invited to attend meeting to be held Thursday after noon. at 3 o'clock at the gymnasium of the Y. NJ. c. A. The object of this meeting is to form woman's branch of the Loyalty League of America.
 Since the women of the Warren District have interested themselves in the movement, which was started some weeks ago, it has been felt by many of them that some kind of an organiza- ton should be perfected SO that their influence sOuld be felt. It is in fol- lowing out this line of thought that the meeting of Thursday will be held.
 No definite plans have been made for the meeting of the perfection of the organization but indications point to the formation of an active, co-opera- tive unit with the Loyalty Leagues which will grow as did original organ ization.

AUSTRIAN ARRESTED;
 TAKEN ID DOUGLAS
Will Be Turned Over to Mill tary Authorities To Be Handled As A Deserter.

Antonio Marticich, an Austrian. who was held in this city for a few days pending the arrival of department of justice agent, has been taken to Doug las by special agent Justin C. Daspit. and will probably be turned over to the military authorities for trial on the charge of desertion from the Unit ed States army on the ground of be- ing a stacker. He has brother work ing in Brewery Gulch who's case will also probably be investigated.
 Marticich was arrested August IA in Naco. after crossing the boundary there from Mexico. His own story. when questioned. was that he came to Miami. Arizona, in September. 1915. He said he had registered for the draft on June ,. but had lost his card. He remained in Miami until July IA on which date he went to Fl Paso. Re maining there nine days, he then left for Naco, Arizona. where he stayed for one night. going to Cananea the fol- lowing day. He said he remained in Cananea until Saturday. August II, when he went to Nogales. and from there to Naco.
 The man admitted that on August g he had been informed by the Ameri- can consul in Cananea that he had been drafted and he should appear for examination. He admitted also that he did not leave his address with anyone in Miami so notification of his being drafted could be forwarded to him. He admitted that he had decid- ed to go to Nogales. Sonora, there to open a soft drink business and had no intention of submitting to examination.
 At Naco. when he was placed in de- tention. he told the persons question ing him that he had not registered and that he had been a resident of Mexico since September or October. 1916. This was made before a United States commissioned under oath. He admitted to MT. Daspit in the pres ence of several witnesses yesterday. that he had Tied in the belief that he could get away with it."

MAKE WOBBLlES BUILD ROAD ACROSS DESERT,
 ADVICE OF WALLACE
Local Realty Man, Returning From Coast, Conceives New Method of Deriving Benefit From Agitators.

l. W. Wallace, the we'll known Bis bee real estate man, who returned a few days from the coast, was impress ed, as he looked out of the car win dow of his speeding train, with the need of a military road across the des- ert both east and west of Yuma from the railroad bridge across the Colo rado river And, turning the matter over in his mind refiectively since his return, he has come to a conclusion in the premises that is almost an in spiration.
 The thing to do," declared Mir. Wal lace yesterday to the Review, ''is to arrest all wobblies in the towns, cities and camps of Arizona on a vagrancy charge and put them to work building fine road across the desert. The state needs the road and the wobblie needs to be put to work. Cochise coun- ty is using her bootlegger prisoners on a fine county road with good results. Why not a great state road, built by men who are thrice the menace to the community at large that the boot leggers ever were?
 And We should have California CO., operate with us in this matter and carry the road on west over the desert across her borders built by her wob- plies. She has plenty for this work, and from what I heard on the coast she considers them as much of men, ace to her progress and prosperity as we do here in Arizona"

ALL BISBEE STORES
 MAY CLOSE AT SIX
 ON SATURDAY NIGHTS

Bisbee merchants and clerks have g movement on foot to close the stores at o'clock every Saturday night The Fair, Phelps Dodge, Angius, Schwartz Brothers and Manager Bovee of the Woolworth store are all in favor of the plan, and of course the clerks are strong for it. If all the merchants will agree to the o'clock closing it will soon be a fact
 City stores all over the country have had o'clock closing on Saturdays for years, and in many of the larger cities the department stores close at l o'clock Saturday in the summer months.
 A meeting will be held one night next week to consider the matter fur ther.
 Those favoring the plan argue that Saturday night is both rest and rec reation time just as much as Sunday is rest time. Trade is always quiet in the afternoon and then clerks and employers are kept on duty until g o'clock doing a business that could just as well have been done by 6 o'clock. It is a long day from in the morning to at night.

 The police say they have combed he city thoroughly. but had found no one who had seen the girl after she left her boarding house the night of July IS.
 Notwithstanding their assertions that everything in the room occupied by the young woman had been intact when she disappeared. the report of the detectives today intimated that photographs and papers in the room had been destroyed and that her name Ialso had been removed from the books. This report does not reconcile the fact however, that the young woman did leave many photographs behind and that when she disappeared she wore her oldest dress and shoes
