BURNING ISSUE ARISES
old ISSUES TO BURN?

Whether old warrants, bonds,
coupons, and other evidences of
debts that have been paid by the
state the past year are to be burned
or kept on file in the office of the
treasurer is question which has
arisen this week with the refusal Of
Govrnor Lindsey to sign the certifi-
Gates of expenditures presented by
State Treasurer Hall covering the
fiscal year just completed
Mr.. Hall has been in the habit of
filing these papers, and in the opinion
of the governor they should be burn
Ell. In the belief OF Assistant At
torney General Hatch whose advise
the governor sought in the matter,
they latter course should be follow
ed. And there the matter stands.
The treasurer report shows that
the gross expenditures of al funds
in the state the past year was ST.

OIL DISCOVERY IN SAN
JUAN DRAWS MANY PEOPLE

Aztec n NJ, Aug. 6-Hundreds
of persons from all ,over this part
of the country are Fastening here
following the finding of oil in the
San Juan basin at depth of 5000 feet.
Announcement OF the strike in the
Flora Vista we'll has caused great
excitement. not only in the imme-
date vicinity Of Aztec but all over
southern Colorado. Every day is
bringing a score of auto loads of
people to town.
Biologists had estimated that. if
oil were in the basin. it would be at
depth Of 100 feet Finding it at
half that depth is accountable for
much of the belief that this is going
to be the next great oil field of the
country. Experts on the ground are
Of the opinion that when the Flora
Vista well is shot. it will develop
a capacity of 200 barrels at the min
imum.
Late in the week the workmen
struck a strong flow of gas which
was at once declared to be OF ex-
actly the gravity which has always
been present in the strongest fields.
The next day drilling continued and
the sands showed more oil than at
anv previous time.
In the event a flowing well is
not found in these sands, however
the drill will be sent right on through
to the lower levels.

said Hearst, through his New Yorl
American" on February "a, l9l6
to be exact-was still making savage
and unwarranted attacks on Presi
dent Wilson, and that the following
was one of such attacks:
If this country is going to be
plunged into war, we do not want
schoolmaster in the White
House, but a soldier.
We do not want theoretical
man like Wilson, but practical
man like Roosevelt, for the
President is the commander in
chief of our military forces.
If we are going to make war
with Germany, we want a COM
mander in chief who knows his
business, and not a vacillating
incompetent who doesn't know
either his business or his own
mind.
If we are compelled to mingle
in this conflict of European
powers, this newspaper desires to
declare right now that the one
man it will support for President
uhuCI SuCH circumstances Is
Theodore Roosevelt.
But this newspaper sincerely
hopes that this country will not
be projected into the European
turmoil, and that Mr.. Wilson will
realize the folly of such a course.
With such hostility to President
Wilson so unmistakably expressed in
4 number of instances, the affiant
says he found it utterly impossible
70 have faith in the protestations of
oyalty made during recent months
by the said Hearst through his news
papers The Hearst publications had
'een openly and bitterly anti-British
orior to Americas entrance into the
var, affiant says, and he believes
hat the following single expression
rom Hearst's "Deutsches Journal" of
february TO- 1917, will show con-
the venom of the Hearst
ceiling toward Great Britain:
German thought would perish
if England were victorious.
England stands today as the
devil-incarnate, as the anti-Christ
of all culture.
