Senator Golfer in HOIbrOOk EnrOute to Country Home

Senator Fred T. Golfer, of Apache county spent two days early this week in Holbrook. He was enroute to his country home at Golfer from a trip through the southern part of the state made in the interest of his candidady for governor of Ari- zona. At Prescott July 4, Sena- tor Golfer took leading part in the the Independence Day cele- bration, delivering the address of welcome on that occasion.
 The senator has represented Apache county in the state as- sembly for a number of years and has made a splendid record in that body. He was the author of the Soldiers Voting bill. the prohibition amendment and the Women's suffrage law. Many other worthy measures were supported by him and became laws.
 Elsewhere in the News is published a picture of Senator Colter and a short sketch of the platform upon which he is mak- ing his campaign for election to the governorship of the state. Every reader of the News should read this platform before decid- ing upon the man for whom they will vote.
 Several candidates will ask for the votes of democrats at the primary election, and the many friends of Senator Golfer in Ma yajo and Apache counties be- lieye that his chances of secur- ing the nomination are excellent.

Hastings Suggests
 Pumping We'll

E. 1. Hastings, who has drill ed oil wells for the past 35 years and who is to supervise the drill ing of Senator Mayfield's first we'll. expressed the belief last Sunday after seeing the oil con- ing out with the water from Flanigan's well, that if the pump were run rapidly long enough to lower the water to a minimum MT. Flanigan would have a little bumper" of oil in- stead of water. He has seen wells in Pennsylvania !and other fields pumped as long as 30 days, even longer without yielding a drop of oil, finally coming in as oil wells and producing 800 to 800 barrels a day. There is no question in his mind that the FIanigan we'll could be made to yield a good quantity of oil by pumping out the water and re- ducing the pressure that holds back the oil.

Oil in Flanigan We'll
 to be Analysed

Last Sunday a party composed
 of Governor George D. MeikIe-
 john, Senator s. G. Mayfield,
 Assistant Attorney General
 Paul Geary, Postmaster Charles Osborne, Thomas McCauley, Lee Rencher. William Williams, E.. 1. Hastings, L. D. Sandefur and W. J.. Hennessey visited the Flanigan well to investigate the reported increase in the flow of oil emanating from that we'll. MT. Flanigan started his pump about s o'clock in the morning and the party reached the scene about II o'clock, so the pump had been in operation about three hours giving it an oppor- tunity to bring up a large volume of water. A full ditch of water was flowing when the above named gentlemen reached the spot and on the surface of this stream could plainly be seen a film of oil, completely covering the surface. One of the party placed a small bar of wood in a position to trap the oil as it travelled through the ditch and in short time a good sample was obtained and placed in a bottle. This sample was so complete as to demonstrate beyond all doubt it's nature and without exception every member of the party pronounced it crude oil. By tasting or smelling the a very convincing test could be made. MT. Geary left Monday. taking with him a small bottle of the oil for analy- sis.

Candidate for Supervisor

OQTIQLQutS IOI ONPS
 Elsewhere in the News ap- hears a formal announcement of the candidacy of R. c. Creswell. of Winslow, for the democratic nomination as supervisor of Ma vajo county. Mr. Creswell is now completing a four-year term as supervisor, and is the chairman of the board.
 During the time he has served as supervisor MT. Creswell has made a splendid record for hon. esty and efficiency. a record that should insure a reelection to the office by a large majority.
 Even those opposed to him polititally can find no fault with Mr. Creswell's administration of the office of supervisor, general Iy acknowledged to be the most important in the county. He is a successful business man; his character is unimpeachable and his ability of a high order; also his democracy is sound-all of which are good reasons why he should be renominated and re- elected.
