STRIKE OF RAILROAD MEN
 AFFECTS HOLBROOK LITTLE

That Holbrook is in fact the great distributing point in Northeastern Arizona was never more apparent than during the past week when railroad traffic was badly de- a d shipments from eastern and western points unable to get through. In many towns in the state conditions are reports that threatened famine, but the large warehouses in Hol- brook, we'll stocked for coun- try trade, had the lacal sit uation well in hand and there was no scarcity of supplies threatened for some time to come.

REALTY DEAL

John McKinnon sold his residence in the west part of town during the past week to Al Saunders, the consid- eration not being announced. This is but one of many realty deals which have been under consideration the past week or two.
 The shortage of residences in Holbrook continues to be a matter which should excite the business instincts of the wide-awake business getter. It has been necessary for some who work in Holbrook to send their families to Winslow where it is possible to obtain rental property.

 In regard to the oil land leasing law, the information is obtained from Senator Ashurst that the present bill considered the lesser of evils, determined effort will likely be made by the called conservatonsts to pass drastic law should this be defeated An other matter of moment that the new bill provides that shall not apply to valid claims filed prior to the passage of the bill.
 In this connection, however, it looks as though the leasing bill would be killed the floor of the Senate where vigorous opposition has been encountered

STREET LIGHTS

G. c. Hall, who has charge of the Clark Addition prop erty, informs The News that arrangements have been per fected with the local light plant to immediately string wires the entire length of Alvarado street and over to the new residence of Tracy Clark on Texas Avenue. In addition to the homes in the northwestern part of this ad- dition being furnished with electric current, three street lights will be placed on this new line, one being on Cal ifornip avenue, one on Ari- zona, and one on Texas, where these streets are in- tersected by Alvarado.

With the grading and graveling of this street from the mesa to the high school building, work is expected to start in the near future, this will bean excellent thorough fare.

In addition to the contin-

Hen messy announces that the company has five wells on the pump on it's Ventura pro- perty and that a new well is due to be brought in within the next few days. A sec ond new we'll is being drilled and with these two new wells in addition to the ones already on the pump, the production of the property should be greatly increased. Mr. Hennessy states that the present wells are shallow in depth and that no deep has yet been done on this property. It is his inten- tion to drill for deeper sands and what he believes will be increased production at d greater depth.

HOLBROOK OIL COMPANY
 MAKING GOOD PROGRESS

Work at the well of the
 Holbrook Oil Company pro-
 gresses very satisfactorily,
 particularly good time being
 made through the hard Co., conino Sandstone, which is comparatively slow drilling. Another w e ks drilling should encounter easier go- ing and consequent increase in daily depth. The big rig is working smoothly and the water situation has been solved by the water truck now in use. Much interest centers in the drilling of this we'll as it is situated in what considered a very favorable  location on the Big Anticline, being about twelve miles northwest of the Adamana and approximately t h r e e miles west of the Hopi- Wind River well. The manage ment states that every effort will be made to insure the rapid drilling of this well and with the start already obtained, the progress will be of considerable interest.

AGRICULTURE DISPLAY AT
 NAVAJO COUNTY FAIR

The Navajo County An nual Fair Association wishes particularly to call attention to all interested in the Flori- culture Department, under charge of Miss Alice Young of Taylor, Arizona.
 Miss Young had charge of the Horticulture display at the first annual fair and her success in the handling of her department warrants the association in bespeaking for this department the hearty support of Navajo county. Let the display in this de- partment be at least equal to the interest Miss Young is showing.
 Horticulture is a phrase of agriculture that is somewhat neglected in some parts of the county. Many could add much pleasure to say noth- ing of the profit to their country life and add much to the beauty of their homes.
 Prepare your exhibits at an early date, corresponding with Miss Young in regard to your exhibits.

FIELD NOTES

The Adamana Company is
 drilling continuously and the
 management states that 700
 feet has been drilled during
 the month of August, the
 present drilling being in dark
 brown shale. Geological re-
 ports on the territory where
 this drilling is being ac-
 complished would indicate
 that the drill should en- counter an oil sand within a comparativelyshortdistance
 Irving Carl, driller in charge for Contractor Clampitt, is very optomistic as to the re- suit of exploration.
 Drilling continues at the Holbrook Oil Go. well, the formation at present being the Coconino sands tone which is comparatively hard drilling. Excellent progress is being made, the water problem having been solved. Supt. Hastings is taking ad- vantage of every moment and the headway already made through this tough drilling is greater than has yet been accomplished in the field in the same drilling time. With softer forma- tion the big standard rig should make a record in pro gress. It is expected that water will be hauled from the natural tank near the oil we'll within a short time, cut ting the water haul to one third in distance.
 There has been no drilling at the we'll of the Hopi- Wind River companies the past week, arrangements now be- ing made to carry the hole to $500 or 4OOO feet, and it is expected that drilling will be resumed by the middle of the coming week. The new 3500-foot steel cable is to be hauled to the well the first of the week, this in itself be- ing quite a nice task, as the weight is something like three tons. The manage ment states there is no ques- ton but that work will be resumed and greater depth attained as rapidly as pos sible.
 Work at the property of the Zuni Oil company con- tinues buildingderrick, tanks and other necessary arrange being placed with The big standard rig is expected to be in place in a comparatively short time and much interest will be manifest in the explora- tion of this portion of the field, the rig being located in the Painted Desert.
 Transportation difficulties have been responsible for the non-arrival of people and interested in and necessary for the further de- velopment of the Holbrook field during the past week. The tone of quiet confidence is steadily growing and it is rare that one hears the ex- pression, ''If they get oil". it is now, "When they get oil"

We wish again to compare the progress and interest in the Holbrook oil field to other fields in their pioneer stage. All were once what is termed "Wildcat," and usually one rig was permitted to make exploration. If a dry hole were encountered it took much time to induce another try at exploration. Here in Holbrook we have five rigs actually in the field and a sixth being erected. Three of these rigs are drilling a twelve-milestrip of territory; another has spudded some ten miles to the west of this group and another about ten miles north. The sixth rig will explore the northern ter ritory, and altogether the field is fortunate in having such wonderful interest be- fore production, which un- doubtedly speaks well for the endorsement the field has received and the indications which are apparent, leaving very little, if any, room for doubt as to the ultimate suc- cessful outcome.

The Black Canyon Syndi- cate well on the Richards Owens lease is being put down as fast as energetic and continuous work makes possible.

Dealers Are Not Responding to

The appeal of the Orphans Auto
mobile Day Association for cars ia
carry 5000 orphan children on their
annual motor ride Is meeting with sue
cess, but great many more cars are
needed. Otherwise the number of
children to be entertained will have
to be cut down. This the directors of
the association do not wish to do, for
they believe the motor car and acces-

thought to the orphans" and help
to make the annual big event of Au-
tomobile Row huge success.
This year Orphans Day will be cele-
brated at the Bronx Exposition Park
on Thursday, June 10. The children
will be conveyed in motor cars from
the Row to the park. There a box
luncheon will be served and the young

spending in the former characteristic
manner, but it is believed that the
motor tradesmen will get beyond those
in charge of Orphans Day and help
