Fall Proves Fatal

On last Friday John $. Quirk,
 kook-keeper at A. and B. Schus-
 ters, returned from Phoenix
 where he had been for several
 days attending to the affairs in
 connection with the death and
 funeral of his late wife. who died at that place on November End. Mrs. Quirk was employed Tn the Indian school at Phoenix. up to the time of the accident which resulted in her death the same day. She in company with other employees of the school had been out gathering olives from trees on the grounds, and in some manner the ladder which they were using became detach- ed throwing her to the ground. At the time of the accident Mre. Quirk did not seem to be injured beyond receiving a few bruises. She retired to her room saying that she would be out for dinner, and even when she failed to make her appearance no anxiety was felt by her friends who thought she might be sleeping. However. when morning came and she did not come down fol breakfast friends called at her door, and after receiving no re. sponse entered the room to find that she had died during the night.
 She leaves. besides her hus- band, one son who is now aide de camp to Gen. Burr of the American Revolutionary Force in France.

Iused for purchase rarely, if ever,
 is paid to development companies
 but to individuals whose business
 1t is to locate claims for sale and
 who rarely have any intent in
 the way of development of the
 field.
 This Is, not to be taken as di-
 rect criticism in the matter of offer and purchase of locations, but it'is a criticism of the selfish attitude taken by those interested therein. Were all of the location purchasers to assist in a small way even in the sinking of a test well which may prove the value of their own claims, and were those who offer locations for sale to devote fraction of their energy to assisting some com pany in proving the value of that which they sell it would at least tend to prove some small appre- citation of the efforts of the pio- neers who secured the endorse ment of the field which made their speculation possible.
 In the meantime progress is being made in development in spite of handicaps and the show ing already made is subject for congratulation. It is interesting to note also the source of com plaints from those who are anxious for more rapid develop r.enf. The less actual interest 2 ms to induce the loudest ,-,'s. We have said it in nearly 2 c-y issue, and we say again . the men behind the com aies endeavoring to develop r g field are deserving of the highest praise for the excellent state of progress existing. More power to them.

PROVING UP FOR
 LOCATORS.

The purchasing of locations in prospective fields has been, and always will be, incidental to the starting of operations to prove. The average locator purchases a claim at a price ranging from $1O to $50 and concludes that he is identified with the active devel- opment of the field. This land is held, in most cases, in the hope and expectation that some company or companies will sue ceed in proving the field to oil, after which the claim held by the location purchaser will have as sumed a definite value and as it is usually held purely as a specu- lation is sold and theepurchaser has made his" from the devel- opment of the field.
 Very few of these location pur- chasers are interested in helping in actual development but wait for the operators to do the work which may result in their per sonal financial benefit The f. nancing of a test well is no small matter and 1t would seem that location owners would be help ing themselves were they to in vest even the same amount they have paid for their locations with some development company that has their confidence. By doing this they would hasten develop ment as well as show their readi- ness to assist in proving their own fortunes and not place the burden entirely on the other fel- low They cannot well rest on the belief that they have done their share by the payment of the small sum which secures their claim, for the money so

Jury Disagrees with Judge.

On Friday of last week the case of Jedlika Fs. w. G. Kelly, being a suit for unlawful de- tainer, was tried in the Superior Court before Judge Gibbons of St. Johns, who was called after Judge Sapp had been disquali- fled as trial judge. Twelve ju- TOTS were sworn to try this case. and in the examination of these jurors as to their qualifications they were asked if in the event they were so instructed by the Court would they agree to re- turn verdict without leaving their box. Two of the jurors objected by saying they would agree to nothing until they had heard some of the testimony. After Lewis Kleindienst, the at torney for Jedlika, had testified, being the only witness for either side, Judge Gibbons directed a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, Jedlika, and requested that the jurors select one member to act as foreman, who was ordered to sign the verdict of guilty. When this request was made by the judge several of the jurors rose and stated that the verdict was against their will, and that the verdict should so state. Not withstanding this statement by several jurors verdict of guilty was demanded. After the case was finally disposed of ten of the jurors signed a statement to the effect that they were not in favor of the verdict as ordered by the judge, and it is under stood that the remaining two expressed a desire to sign the statement.

United Var Work Campaign

l Monday was a big day in Hol- brook. Word came on the wire that victory over the German army was a glorious reality. Everybody wanted to celebrate; business houses closed at noon and all took part in a half holi- day. Only the ladies of the United War Work Campaign Committee stayed on their job. Taking advantage of tbe general feeling of good Will, they placed booth on the drug store cor ner and received voluntary sub scriptions to the United War Work Campaign.
 After a parade led by the High School Band meeting was held in which music and speak ing added to the general en- thusiasm. People outdid them selves in their desire to get their names on the Roll of Honor by voluntarily contributing to the seven allied organizations. Con tributions were for ten dollars or more, so the list rapidly ran up. The total amount collected in the days work was more than if teen hundred dollars.
 In giving credit for this ex- cellent result. we must not for get the Victory Girls and Boys. These organizations piled up a contribution of over four hun dred dollars for the first days work. In proportion to popula- tion this undoubtedly places the Holbrook Victory Boys and Girls as the champions of the state. There is more coming from these and their leaders. They have organized themselves into a five hundred dollar club and no doubt will reach the a. 
 Other towns of the county are also, aItho reports are coming in slowly. The sum of Eve thousand dollars has almost been reached. However. we are 3 long way from the top. All contributors are urged to put forth great effort in order to reach our quota. Let us all take m inventory of our resources md If we find we could do more, ct us help to our fullest extent ! great cause.
 Holbrook has contributed two thousand dollars; Winslow. St. Joseph, Snowflake. and Lake tide have reported substantial Iums. Most of these, however. lave not reported since Tuesday 10 to date we should have a much larger amount than given .bove for the county.

HoPI OIL co.

As an indication of the dissap- point1nents incident to pioneer development the case of the Hopi Oil Co. is perhaps in point. After the heavy expense of placing a cement dam across the arroya near their well to impound water from expected rains, the water impounded early in the season has been exhausted and there have been no rains recently to replenish the supply. Conse- quently the company has been obliged to suspend operations un- til they have completed a water well a short distance from the reservoir. It is expected that water will be encountered within four or five hundred feet and the efficient star rig now at work on the water well should get to the water in a short time.
 Senator Mayheld is at present attending to business matters in the southern part of the state.
 HOLBROOK OIL co.
 Casing for the well of this company is expected in Holbrook the coming week. The exact date of shipment from the Coast of contractors rig cannot be stated as this is set up, but it is quite certain, from recent advices, that this week will see the material billed unless the flu" has made further inroads on the contract or's staff. The delay experienced by this company is due to cir cumstances caused by the epi- demic entirely as the. company IS ready and anxious to begin oper- ations. However, with water se- cured, sufficient funds to continue when started and complete prep arations give assurance of no de lay after spudding in. Manager Warden states that 90 days after spudding in will see this portion of the field proven.

Standard Oil Company Starts
 Drilling Near HoIbrook

A large combined Rotary and Standard oil well rig was un- loaded at Defiance, about IA miles west of Gallup, yesterday. The rig was sent in by the Standard Oil Company. and will be used te develop the holdings of the Standard, which are said to be extensive. The first well will be put down on the north side of the railroad near De- 6ance. The buildings for the machinery have already been erected and drilling will be com menced at once.
 The geological formation at Defiance is quite similar to that in the HoIbrook field, and the fact that the Standard people are seeking to develop oil there is encouraging to the operators in the Holbrook district.

Greatest Var in His
 tory Has Ended

The greatest war in history ended Monday morning at c o.
 clock, Washington time. after lL567 days of horror during
 which virtually the whole civil
 ized world has been convulsed.
 Announcement of the tre-
 mendous event was made at the
 state department at the capitol
 at 2:45 o'clock Monday morning
 and in a few seconds was flashed
 throughout the continent by the
 Associated Press.
 The terms dictated by Mar
 shall Foch to the German armis-
 tice delegates were agreed to by
 the latter. These terms are
 practically an agreement for an
 unconditional surrender. It is
 assumed that they will call for
 the demobihzation of Germany's
 army. the surrender of part of
 her fleet and dismantIing of the rest and the evacuation of occu- pied portions of France and Bel gium and of Alsace-L Lorraine It is probable also that Gsrmany
 has agreed to call home all her troops now in Russia and Rou- mania.
 The terse announcement of the state department did not tell anything of the scene at Mar shall Foch's headquarters at the time the armistice was signed It was stated. however. that ct 5 o'clock, Paris time. the sigma lures of Germany's delegates were affixed to the document which blasted forever the dreams which embroiled the world in struggle which has csst at the very lowest estimate 10000. 900 lives.

bugaboo of insurmountable diff
 faculties in this respect to cloud
 his judgment and his faith.
 Under the most suspicious cir
 cunstances the proving of new
 field is not a simple matter and 1t would seem that, considering the remarkable progress Holbrook has made under such adverse
 conditions, the new era ushered in the past week should in its early stage see the completed de velopment of this field. It is up to the citizens of this community, as well as to the operators, to not only continue the splendid sup port already accorded, but to strive harder than ever in an all together" effort, intensified by the knowledge that conditions will gradually become such that the destiny of Holbrook may soon be realized.
 
 We venture to suggest to the German people that Thanksgiv- ing Day of this year carries for them wonderful significance. Let them be thankful indeed that their land has been spared a re- eiprocal terror of Invasion. Let them render thanks that their owns and cities have been spar ed the vandalism and destruction they visited upon the towns of BelgiuiD and France. Let them be thankful that the heart of their allied foe is not that of beast and that their women and children will be safe in occupied territory. And a full measure of their thanks will induce a sense of shame for their continuous violation of the laws of humanity l and of nations and it will be a small portion of their punishment | that their present generation can not live down the ignominy which has been cast upon their race and a realization of the abhorrence with which they are regarded by the entire world. They may at tain peace of physical aspect but it will be long before they will be able, to enjoy mental peace.
