Why Not Try for Oil

The News believes that the time is now propitious for the organization of a To- cal company for the purpose of prospecting for oil in this territory. Several thous- ands of acres of land have been filed upon by residents of the county, and we can see no reason why there should be further delay in putting down a well.
 A company headed by To- cal people will have no diff culty in commanding sufi- cient money to finance a thorough test, whether it be twenty or fifty thousand dollars.
 With reliable men at the head of the company, there are plenty of small investors who will be glad to subscribe for stock to almost any req sonable amount needed.
 Why not make the test, and make it now?

WEEKLY CREST OF EVENTS That HoUe Been Noted by The NeLDs' Staff for the Edifcation or Its Readers. Really Worth a Perusal.

County Supervisors in Session
 The county board of su- pervisors were in session Monday and Tuesday, dur ing which a large amount of business was transacted, part of which was of a routine nature.
 The books of various coun- ty officials were audited and a number of bonds given by officials and those holding contracts were approved.
 The bonds voted by the Snowflake school district, amounting to $25, 900, were sold to the American Bank & Trust Co. of Denver at a a1iiMof $255. There
 -lee other bids sub
 Ed for the bonds, the lowest being $22;;841.OO.
 Wallace E. Shumway of Shumway was appointed de- putty assessor.
 The resignation of J. H. Frost as county engineer was accepted by the board. It is not likely that a success sor will be appointed. F.. R. Goodman, formerly engi- neer of Coconino county, now division engineer of the northern tier of counties of the state, was present Mon day and conferred with the board in reference to the cooperation of the county with the state in road build ing. Lamar Cobb, state engineer, according to MT. Goodman, expects to visit this county in a short time, when the matter will be gone into more thoroughly.

Williams to HaUe Municipal Lights
 The next few weeks will see the town of Williams with it's own electric lights and electric power service. The full value of this service to the town can be much better appreciated by all the people now, than it could have been except for the lack of service that has been suffered during the last few months.
 While passing back to the former progressive order, we should not forget to pass a vote of thanks, to the Sagi- nav 6 Manistee Lumber Company, for the service they have rendered the town during it's time of need. Without the night service which the mill has supplied, the business of the town would have been severely handicapped and a much greater loss would have been experienced. Nor should the fact be overlooked, that the mills has supplied this service at a very low rate a rate so very low that it bare ly covered the running ex- pense of the machinery leav- ing little or nothing for wear and tear and depreciation. The management at the mill asked the town council to set the rate, but the council passed the task on to the Corporation commission which set a rate of three cents. The rate was too low to place the transaction on the part of the mill in any light other than that of an accommodation to the town. Williams News.
