Red Cross Head Thanks Papers Editor Holbfook News:

EQlIOr E2OIDIOOk N0WS.
 One of the maryelous features of the successful Red Cross War Fund drive was the generous ald given by the newspapers. Any thanks that may be extended by Red Cross officials is small compensation and we know that the only reward that prompted your support was the realization that you were helping a great organization that int turn is do- ing all in it's power to relieve suffering and help win the war.
 The Pacific division of the American Red Cross extends to you it's whoIehearted thanks for your splendid aid. Your spirit of helpfulness has been deeply appreciated in all Red Cross en- deaYors and we trust that the Red Cross will continue to merit your faith.
 believe it may fairly be said that no line of business in the United States has given more of it's stock in trade toward Twin the = war; activities than the newspapers. It is likewise ap- parent that without newspapers in all allied countries, Germany might long ago have been the victor.
 Again thanking you, l beg to remain. sincerely yours,

and it is claimed that the forma- tion is very similar to that of the Pennsylvania fields. It is vast sedimentary area.
 In June of 1868 a peace treaty with the Navaios was signed and more than 1000 Navajos were returned from the white mans captivity on the Bosque Redondo reservation near Fort Sumner to what is now their home in nor thern Arizona. Little did they realize the important role this land of theirs may play in the white mans fight for civilization. For it is said at Washington that we will need 70,000,000 barrels of oil more than this country will produce this year. May the Nav ajo lands produce the millions of barrels we're short!
 Heretofore northern Arizona has been celebrated chiefly for more phenominal wonders, the Grand Canyon, the Canyon del Diablo, the Painted Desert and the Petrifed Forest. The Navajo blanket and the Weird Hopi snake dance were collateral at- fractions having no counterpart in the known world. Now to this constellation of wonders, it's oil
 Holbrook is the gateway to those scenic wonders.

Smart Boosts Holbrook Field

With his pockets full of sand stone said to be identically the same as that found in the Penn sylvania oil fields, Tom Smart ii back from the Holbrook section, He spent more than a week there locating oil claims in what geoloQists told him is the best part of the district.
 If that isn't an oil field never saw one," declared Smart this morning. Tt is the first place 1 ever saw where actual ly wanted to drill.
 This sandstone and other perfect oil formations are all oyer the district. There is coal on three sides of it and not a sign of volcanic disturbance within 75 miles.
 Several companies are almost ready to start drilling, according to Smart, and the field will soon be proven. His private opinion is that it is much greater in ex- tent than has been supposed.
 Smart expects to return short Iy to locate more land for him. self an d associates. Jerome News.

NeuU Election Laws

The Clerk of the Board of Su.
 pervisers is in receipt of a certi. fled copy of the new Soldier ell.
 ection law and prospective can.
 didates for office should call and
 examine this bill, as the pro.
 ceeding necessary to get their
 names on the ballot at the com Ing Primary Election is consi- derably changed.
 The bill provides that ballots must be mailed to all voters in the military service of the United States forty days before the election. These ballots must be returned by the time the polls close on election evening, to be counted. This forty days time will probably give all the soldiers in the United States an oppor- tunity to vote, but it is doubtful If those in foreign service will have time to get their ballots back.
 The old law provided that nomination papers. etc. should be filed twenty days before the Primary Election and the Attor- ney General is expected to rule on the new time which is not mentioned in the bill. If he al- lows the same time for the pre- paration and printing of the bal ots as heretofore, that is twen- days before the ballots are to be | it would cause candidates to file their papers with the Clerk of the Board about July 10th.

Adamdna Company
 Making Progress

The officials of the Adamana Oil Company have been com pelIed to bring sixteen heavy mules from Colorado to move the company's drilling machine ry from the Seven Lakes field to the railroad at Gallup. whence it will be shipped. by rail to Hol- brook. The latest advices re- ceived by the company's local office from Harold E. Dodd are to the effect that good progress is being made and that it is now only matter of a few days be- fore the last piece will be along side the railroad car in Gallup. The company is now making arrangements to repair the road from unloading point on the new Apache Railroad to the site selected for the well.
 The county probably will be asked to lend a hand. at least to the extent of providing such road-building machinery as may be available. Not a large amount of work is necessary to bring this road into suitable con- dition and the Adamana com- pany probably will receive as- sistance from one or two other companies that will find use for the road either now or after drilling operations are commenc- ed

Leading oil men of the coun.
 try predict that the demand fol
 gasoline and lubricating oils following the war will be vastly
 greater than the present de
 mand. They base their opinion
 on the fact that there is an un-
 precedented scarcity of horses
 for farm work and that farm tractors and gas-driven machine ry of all sorts will have to be substituted. Orders for farm tractors are now coming from Canada as we'll as European countries much faster than they can be filled. When it is re- membered that in many parts of Europe the use of gasoline for everything except war purposes is absolutely forbidden, so that when this ban is removed there will be millions of pleasure cars placed in use, all of which will require gasoline. some idea is gained of what the demand for gasoline and oils will be after the conclusion of the war.
 The tendency of the govern ment to foster oil production in new fields is shown by the rul- ing of the oil division of the United States fuel adminstra- tion, exempting the small opera tor, or, as he is frequently call ed n oil parlance, the wildcat ter", from all excess profits which might be due in the case of flowing well being struck. The total production of this class of oil producer overshadows that of the total of the big operators and to further encourage the little fellow who frequently stakes his fortune on the out come of a single well this ex- emption has been allowed.
 Peter Paulson, a Kansas far mer, draws a monthly royalty of $100, 900 from his one- eighth in- terest on the oil produced from his $40 acres in the Butler coun- ty field, Kansas, yet his income from this source has only begun. It is estimated that it will be a physical impossibility to bring his tract up to it's maximum pro- duction under two years and that this will require 200 wells. Paulson once refused one million dollars for one half of his in- terest in the oil produced. and only a few days ago accepted $4, 900, GOO for that portion of his interest. /
 G. A. Burt, one of the pioneers in the oil development industry in this county, left here last Sunday to look after some min ing interests at Bishop, Cal. He expects to return to Hol- brook in a few weeks. and will then organize a company and start the active development of some choice oil land he holds.

MayfeId Rig Being Loaded

MdgHetd NIR 0eIng LoQde0
 Senator s. G. MayfeId has been compelled to change his plans as to the method of trans porting the heavy standard drill recently purchased by his com- pany. He hoped to be able to bring it overland. using trucks and freight wagons for that purpose, but there is such scar city of both trucks and horses suitable for hauling such heavy machinery so long a distance that it was deemed wise to haul the outfit to the railroad at Globe and ship by rail to Hol- brook. Trucks have been en- gagged in this work nearly all of this week and a telegram receiY- ed by Thomas McCauley stated that the car was being loaded Thursday. It probably will be ten days enroute as it must pass oyer three railroads before 1t reaches Holbrook.
 In order that the machinery might be moved more expedi- tiously to the railroad Senator AayfeId purchased a heavy truck to assist the other trucks and to transport the heavier pieces of machinery. This truck will be brought overland to Hol- brook and used by the company to haul the plant out to the site selected for the first well by Geologist Charles B. Major when he submitted his report. The truck will also be used to haul lumber, water. casing and such other supplies as may be needed in the drilling of wells, as this company expects to com mence a second well just as soon as the first rig commences oper- ations.
 Senator Mayfield. Judge Ryan and other companions will re- turn to Holbrook in the com pany's automobile after seeing the carload of drilling equipment start on it's journey from Globe. and should reach here early next week.

Apache Company Ready to Drill

The Apache Oil Company has at last succeeded in bringing the last piece of it's drilling ma chinery to the place where drill ing is to be done. This company has suffered great but unavoid- able delay on account of the scarcity of heavy animals capa- bIe of caring for the transport ing of drilling outfits. With the entrance into the field of at least half a dozen companies which are now either bringing in their drills or arranging to do so. this condition should change for the better, as the needs of so many drills and their human attend ants will be sufficiently great to warrant someone's placing suit able wagon or truck facilities on the route between the railroad and the oil field.
