Chautauqua Not e Success

The Radcliffe Chautaugua. which gave a three days pro- gram in Holbrook last week. was not a success in any particular. There were two or three feat ures in the program that were worthy of commendation, but as awhole it was very punk. Such things may "get by" in the ef- fete East, where lawn sociables and church fairs are considered real entertainments. but in the virile West, where real people abide, the Chautauqua is con- sidered 'old stuff" and not worthy of patronage. At least, such is the way Holbrook people seemed to consider the matter, as the attendance was very small.
 Financially, the Chautauqua was a disaster. The fifteen men who guaranteed the $550 were called upon to make good a deficit of S263. .25, each contrib uting $17.55 in order that the people might have some place to go."
 It's safe bet that the next female advance agent for a Chautauqua will need a different line of chatter than the one who put over" the late frost. or she will have to select a new bunch of easy marks to assist her in providing her troupe of has-beens with meal tickets.

Large Oil and Mining COmpa- nies Are Now Perfecting Ar engagements to Start Drilling Operations in HolbrOOk Oil Field; Some New Corpora lions Being Organized; Com panies Now Organized Are Completing Details for Start ing Development Work, and
 Everything Moving Nicely

The News has reliable infor- nation that two large corpora tions. one of which is now en- gagged in the production of oil in a nearby state, the other in mining, will enter the Holbrook field within the next twosweeks. Each company has large re- sources and each will place not less than two drilling outfits on ground already practically se- cured. Owing to the fact that the details for securing the de- sired acreage by these compa- nies have not been finally ar ranged, we are not at liberty to disclose their identity. We can state, however, that each com pany has secured a report on the field from a competent geologist, and the officers of each are sat- isfied that the prospects are very good for the Holbrook field de- veloping into one of the largest oil producing districts in the country. They are therefore se- curing ground for the purpose of starting active operations.
 The best recommendation for the Holbrook oil field, and one that has practically stopped the pessimistic propaganda here, is. the fact that such big corpora tions as those mentioned above are seeking to enter the field; also that men of the business standing of those who compose the directorates of the Holbrook Oil Company, the Navajo Oil Company. the Home Producers Company, the Apache Company, and the Adamana Oil Company have already entered the field,
 The companies mentioned last are new companies. incorporated especially to prospect the Hol- brook field. Each of these com panies contain local men in their directorates, an evidence that the citizens of Holbrook have confidence in the existence of oil in the district.
 Some of these companies have not yet completed their incor- poration, but nevertheless all are making arrangements as rapidly as possible to start operations in the field.
 Altogether, the oil develop ment situation here gets better every day. Each week new con- panies are coming in, and while drilling operations have not yet commenced, owing to the time required to perfect arrange ments. before the first of July probably a dozen rigs will be in the district.

BRIST0W To QUIT
He Will Resign From the p. U,
c. Next Monday.
Sessions and Jackson Men,
toned for His Place.

Joseph L. Bristow. of Salina, chair
man of the state public utilities COM
mission, announced late this afternoon
that he would withdraw from the
commission next Monday. He will be
a candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for United States senator. 1t is
believed he will make a formal an
nouncement Tuesday.
Altho he was appointed for three
year term in January, 1915, BriStow
really entered the state service April
L, that year. For several weeks it has
been generally understood that he
would leave the commission to enter
the senatorial fight. Bristow was de-
feated for denomination to the United
States senate by Senator Charles Cur
tbs in the Republican primaries of
1914. Following the election of Gov
ernor Capper that year, Bristow was
made head Of the public utilities COM
mission
Governor Capper may not name
Bristow's successor until sometime
next week. Two men have been urged
for the place. One is Charles H. Ses-
sions, chairman of the Republican
state committee and private secretary
to the governor. The other is Fred
S. Jackson, former attorney general
the utilities commission. The appoint
ment will be for short term of nine
or ten months. Since Bristow's term
expires in a few days. the governor
may appoint new commissioner only
until the succeeding governor makes
an appointment which is confirmed by
the state senate.

BOY IA YEARS old
YOungster Who Injured Topeka
Woman Under Ages
Ethel Everingham Sues for
$1,000 After Auto Injury.

Ethel Everingham, music teacher
with a studio at 900 Kansas avenue,
today filed suit for 1927 in the
office of Mrs. Mary Chaplin, clerk of the
district court, against Walter r.
Shook, a travelling salesman living at
1439 Tyler street. Damages are asked
for injuries suffered by Miss Evering-
ham in an accident at Eighth and
Jackson streets, April 16, 1917, when,
il is claimed, Shocks son, Gilman, ran
into her with an automobile, knocked
her down and ran over her.
The petition claims that the Shook
lad was only IA years old at the time
of the accident and that the city ordi-
nance provides that no child less than
16 years of age shall drive car. 1t
also is alleged that the lad did)not
honk his horn sufficiently and did not
have sufficient lights on his Ford car.
A terrible nervous strain was sur
fered, occasioning melancholia, much
loss of business and physical suffer
ing in ST. Francis hospital, according
to the petition. In addition, Miss
Eyeringham claims she suffered
partial fracture of her right shoulder,
a wrenched right knee, smashed
arches and toes of both feet and many
lacerations on the body.

Medical Specimen.

The police, sheriff's office and city

ture baby in the alley at the rear of

that there was no clue as to who left
the child where it was discovered.
IF we find out who did it," said
Narcotic. 1.-The sanitary department

guilty party as there is law against
such public offenses."
