CITY WORKERS GO OUT
Seven Water Plant Employees Declare
Pay Higher Elsewhere.


Because the city failed to increase
their pay 20 cents a day. making the
wage $3.50 a day, seven workmen
were still on strike" today at the
city water plant.
October 29, the men notified Com
missioner Stanfield that unless grant
ed a raise they would be compelled to
take other work paying more money.
The raise could not be obtained and
Stanfield was not surprised when they
quit.
When other workmen around To-
peka are receiving $3.50 and $3.75 a
day the men do not care to work at
the pumping station for lower wage,
they said.
Most of Sthe men who quit were not
regular employees but were on tempo
rary work, Stanfield said. While the
'walkout" will cause a tie-up of re-
pair and Improvement work, it will
not hamper regular operation of the
plant, he declared.

ranch boys moved some 1900 head Of
cattle to the ranch north or town, and
while crossing the Canadian River at
Logan, during the rainy days, sue
ceeded in driving the cattle over but
unable to get the chuck wagon across.
The quicksand in the treacherous
stream caused the wagon 10 sink, and
all were trying to save it, when, sud-
denly came upon them wall of water
from a coudburst, the wagon and
chuck was lost, swept down the river.
The boys tried to save what they
could, until a cowboy threw his rope
from the bank and the two men caught
il and were dragged ashore. The
teams were saved, but it was exciting
for few moments. Even with their
loss of the wagon, they are considered
extremely fortunate. Glenrio Tribune.

1T, HE SAYS

FL Paso, Tex, June 5.--Mayor
Charles Davis stated Wednesday
morning that Mexican federal soldiers
would not pass through Texas from
Aqua Prieto, Son, as had been plan
ned, although the acting governor Of
Arizona and the governor of New
Mexico gave permission for the troops
to go through their respective states.
Mayor Davis would give no partic-
ulars Wednesday morning as to any
further information he may have had,
but 1t is known that Judge X. 4.
Crawford, collector of customs, con-
ferred with the mayor. There is rea-
son to believe that Collector Crawford
had kilograms from Washington as
suring him that no Mexican troops
would be passed through Texas into
Chihuahua 10 reinforce the Carranza
troops. II also appears that the OBJ
jections of governor w. p. Hobby TO
the troops passing through Texas
helped turn the tide in saving Ameri-
cans and their interests in the state
Of Chihuahua from the danger of re-
prisals from Mexican rebels.

CABLE AND DRILL BIT
ARRIVE AFTER DELAY
IN TRANSIT FROM OHIO

At last the McGee well rig has ar
rived and is being placed on the field
at the Pound well southeast of town.
The rig was shipped from Ohio and
was found side-tracked at Memphis,
Texas. For several weeks the rail
road people have been tracing the
shipment and found it at Memphis.
Mr.. McGee had few leases near the
well that expired if drilling was not
commenced before June LIST. These
were lost because of the mis-shipment
nut on no account Of Mr.. McGee and
the company backing the deal. Some
Of the landowners paid no attention
TO the contract and renewed their
lease with McGee at the same figure
because he has always dealt fairly
with them.
Prices of leases in the neghbor-
hood of the well have advanced very
rapidly. II is nearly impossible to
buy acreage. so this is evidence what
the citizens think of the future pros
poets of finding oil. Some who once
doubted have become firm believers
in the project and If oil is found il
will be great thing FOR Tucumcari
and the entire county. If they strike
cluster" they will try again in an
other place Those who know the oil
game and the geologists who know
formations are sure this well will be
n good one. Quite lot of money is
being spent here by those pushing
the oil game and while most everyone
believes in the ultimate outcome the
drill will prove whether there is oil
or not

perfect arrangements for the annual

Congress to recognize and build the
road connecting the two big forts,
and il has strong lineup of mem
bers of Congress from the four states
through which the road will pass. The
state of Kansas has already given con-
tracts for $50 miles of hard-surfaced
road. and it is assured that the road
will he built as a model from one end
TO the other. The bill to be introduced
ir Congress will provide for the re-
funding Of any amounts spent by the
states in the construction, prior to its
designation as n military road.

u. 5. Oil Interests
Expect Settlement
OF Mexican Clash
Believe Endorsement of Pro-
ducers' Claims by Agent
of Carranza May Lead
TO Protection of Rights

An carly settlement of the differ
ences between the American oil pro-
duclng interests and the Mexican gov
eminent is believed to be imminent as
result of memorandum which has
been forwarded TO Mexico City by AL
herto }. PAM, the Carranza agent who
conferred here last week on the mat
ter prior to sailing for France, where
he will assume the duties of Mexican
minister
The memorandum. which has the
Endorsement of Mr.. PAM, presents the
full case of the American oil men and
according to information obtained yes
terday there is every indication that
the conhscatory legislation proposed
by the Mexican government will be so
altered as to make possible an annie
able agreement.
Want Guarantees
The oil interests, in view Of the
fact that there is much difference of
opinion as to the meaning of the pro-
posed law ask in substance in the
memorandum that they be guaranteed
absolute ownership of and title to the
subsurface rights of all oil properties
held by them prior TO May l, 1917, and
assert their Willingness 20 pay salts
factory and reasonable royalties to
the Mexican government for the same
| he document has been sent to Leon
Salinas, under secretary Of the MeXi-
can Department Of Commerce and In
dustry, of which Mr.. PAM was form
eriy the head. Inasmuch as Mr.. PAM
has agreed in principle to the stand
taken by the oil men it is believed
that the legislation will be modified
to meet their demands.
In its present form the proposed
law would, in the opinion of the oil
men. take away from them pract-
cally all Of Their reserve lands and
open them 10 fling claims by Mexi-
cans or Mexican companies exclusive
ly. These reserve lands arc estimated
to constitute approximately so per
cent of the whole holdings of all the
foreign companies active in the Mexi-
can fields.
Vast Oil Fields
According to Mexican advices re-
ceived IN Wall Street yesterday a re-
port Just issued by the Department of
Commerce and Industry of Mexico
shows there arc approximately $780,
100000 acres of land in that country
that arc believed to be capable of
yielding Oil. There has been OK
plotted to a limited degree up to this
time only about 57O4,04O acres. the
report says, and practically all of the
exploration work has been confined to
the Gulf coast region in the territory
tributary to the ports of TamDco and
Tuxpam.
