A Successful Trip

Prof. C. G. Dolman returned Tuesday night from. 2 Phoenix where he had spent a week working in the interest of the Holbrook high school. Prof. Dolman feels confident that the state will appropriate som C money to the Holbrook school, altho it is doubtful If the amount askedi Sfor- $250O--will be SC
 Prof. Dolman met many per- pie in Phoenix who seemed greatly interested in the Hol- brook oil fields. People at the capital realize that Holbrook is forgingI to the front as one of the real live towns in the state, and when oil is discovered here and it's practically certain that it will be discovered the town will jump to the first place among towns in the state.

All Records Broken

At 800 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon the Sheriff's depart ment of this county was given an order from the Superior court calling for fifty men to report as jurors at 1000 o'clock the fol- lowing day. Promptly at the hour set fifty men from all parts of this county reported to Judge Frank H. Lyman trying the Marley case, at Holbrook for duty. This work on the part of Sheriff Newman, Undersheriff Harp and members of their force is commendable. It was neces- sary for these men to ride all night long to carry out their orders.

Sheriff's Office Busy

The Sheriff's department con- tinues to spread fear among the
 booze toters", having during the past few days rounded up some six victims and about twenty cases of wet goods. The sentence of the court in most cases is $300.0O and six months.
 Sheriff Newman. on Monday captured red-handed two alleged horse thieves twelve miles be- low Winslow on the Little Col orado River. These two men captured by Sheriff Newman had horses in their possession at the time of the arrest, and made the statement that they had been trading horses six or seven times prior to their arrest. Sher- if Newman has reason to feel that these men are badly want ed in other parts. and it is nest likely that when the Sheriff's department completes it's in vestigation regarding the career of these two men other develop ments of some interest to Hol- brook residents will be made. One of the men has already con- fessed to stealing horses.

has assumed fair proportions.
 This interesting gentleman talks very entertainingly of the war, which he was able to view from frst-line trenches during the better portion of the year, being discharged only last April after receiving a dose of Ger man gas which prostrated him for several weeks.
 One of the peculiar effects of the gas used so extensively by the Germans in this war is it's tendency to promote the growth of hair. MT. Scott's host of friends in the mining camps of Nevada and Canada will remem- Der the scarcity of this adorn- ment on his head, which is now covered with a luxuriant growth of healthy, dark hair, attesting the value of German gas as a hair restorer.
 Cobalt" Scott. so dubbed af- ter making a fortune in the sil- yer fields of Cobalt, Ontario. is widely known as a successful mining and oil operator in the west and his presence in Hol- brook is good omen.

for 20 years, for one fourth o1
 said respective areas. upon pay
 ment to the government of one
 eighth of the oil produced anc
 one dollar per acre per annun
 as royalty.
 Section 12 provides that the secretary of the interior may lease any lands of the public do- main within an oil structure by competitive bidding in areas not exceeding GAO acres for a royalty of one-eighth of the production and $1 per acre per annum.
 "The bill as amended is now in conference. If it becomes a law as amended, whereby the discoverer of oil and gas is granted by the government a lease instead of patent, there will be no incentive for the miner or prospeetor to discover new fields of oil, as he is given no more consideration by the government for his pioneer work, hardships and investment to make the discovery than the man  who leases land in the field af- ter the discovery is made.
 ''The title for the 160 acres in the proven field and $40 acres in the prospective field does not pass from the government until valuable deposits of oil or gas are discovered
 If the equipment and cost of a we'll 1000 feet be estimated at $S2, 900. the patented land would cost the discoverer $50 per acre for the 64O-acre tract and $200 per acre for the 160-acre tract. and every permittee would be compelled to drill on each area of $40 acres or 2.560 acres and discover valuable deposits of oil or gas before he could secure patent from the government.
 Moreover, capital will not seek investment if the title to the land be a lease instead of patent.
 ''The best interest of the gov ernment. in my judgment, as we'll as thecitizen. demands pat ent instead of a lease. The gov secures increased pro- duction and the citizen but a just consideration and protection for his work and discovery"

Coal, Oil and Gas Legislation

By SENATOR s. G. HATFIELD
 Congress has before it bill to regulate the use of public do- main by coal, oil and gas miners.
 The object of this bill is to stimulate the production of coal. oil and gas.
 The government is greatly in need of oil. If the Mexican oil fields should be destroyed, or put out of our reach, then we would be seriously embarrassed. At this writing the reYolutionist government demands an export tax; the allies pay it because we must have the oil. We must be in touch. The Carranza admin lstration demands an export tax on the same oil. We pay it, we submit to this injustice, for we must have the oil. Therefore. the senate passed bill on. Jan- uary g. 1918, by which that body sought to encourage the coal, oil and gas mining industry. The house amended the senate bill. The senate bill has now passed the house with amendments. The bill as amended is now in conference, each body having appointed members. The result of that conference committee is vital to the nation.
 HERE ARE THE FACTS
 The public domain belongs tC the national government, except a portion that has been turned oyer to the state, to-wit: Sec tions 2, 6, 16. 32 and 38. Wheth CT state or national the peopl, are interested; 1t belongs to tn, public the state sections to tn, people of the state and othe sections to the public-the re public.
 The development is of tn highest importance. The bill i best which will give the greates : protection to the public and ye l insure the greatest production At this time we are fighting fo
 our national existence. Shut oi the production of coal and O . and the allies are beaten, for tn . ships, though they were as tn sands of the sea, could net tVs

light, even though it scarcely pays you for pumping, yet my eighth is due to me, and. @lon, I need the oil. Thousands of individuals working at this blsi- ness, each one paying me an eighth, makes a great royalty. You may lose money, but my revenue is sure. and many men working and yielding small amounts will run up my total re- ceipts into the millions, billions of gallons. I need the oil. Go it, boy"
 Now which proposition will call into the field the most capi- tai, the ablest men, the greatest number of oil wells, the senate bill or the bill as amended by the house?
 Which bill is faifest to both parties. the one which says. ''Son, there is the land. it is un- developed: not yielding any rev enue; take it. develop it: you get a fourth absolutely; the other three-fourths I'll rent to you" or the one which says. Son. there is the land; no water, no grass. not a thing on it of any profit; you have some mon ey, go and put it into a business there. If you succeed in devel- oping the land you pay me an eighth of the yield. and account for my portion each month; if the yield is small and pays only a little, you must press the work or I'll give to some other the lease of the property you deYel- oped. You must not lag; you must keep up the work-my rent must come each month. '
 Few would hesitate in giving the answer.
 Such are the conditions of the senate bill-fair, generous to the one who will take hold and press his work.
 The house amendments are harsh, uninYiting, and will not give the government an increasee yield of oil or open up new fields.
 We trust the conference com mittee will guard jealously the rights of the people and protect the rights of the investor. Then will they have won the first ap- plause, Well done. thou good and faithful servant. "
 Let it be remembered that only about one man in ten who goes into mining succeeds. The other nine are swept out of memory; they are mere floatage and jetsam on the tides of com merce and their failures are found strewn on the shores of commercial ventures.
 Oil, coal and gas mining is a precarious business rich har- vests to the successful. a total loss to the less fortunate. Judge not the business less attractive, for the yield must be increased, not diminished. Wise legisla- tion will increase productions; unwise will be a stumbling block disastrous in results.
