 That Hager, Major and
 half a dozen prominent geol-
 ogists have passed favorably
 upon this field has long been
 known, and the newspaper
 men have sometimes been allowed to see the original reports, but the article by
 Hager will be the first auth |oritative publication by a prominent geologist upon the |Holbrook oil field since drill ing began. Dr. Herbert B.. Gregory, Marius R. Camp bell and other government men have included this sec tion in U. s. Geological Sur vey reports made several years ago, but notwithstand- ing this, no test we'll for oil was started until the latter part of 1918.
 Secretary Hennessey of the| Adamana Oil Co.,, is spend-| ing most of his time at the| we'll and in repairing the| roads to the water tanks in| order that as little time as| possible be lost from the| actual drilling. The Adam-I ana, like the other companies drilling, has had plenty of grief as a result of the un- usual storms and muddy roads, but the work done of late will leave them in good condition when the god of storms takes a vacation.
 The HoIbrook Oil Co. has also been hung up on ac- of muddy roads and has awaited better weather conditions before starting it's /. rig and spudding in it's well. E

Encouraging News From
 the HOpi Oil Company

A complete change in tn, formation through which th' drill of the Hopi Oil company is passing took place las Saturday afternoon, and il is the belief of Senator May. field and Tom Met Cauley, the executive officers of the com. pany, that the cross-beddec Coconino sandstone of the Pennsylvania for m a tion, which is the caprock of this section, has at last been bot toned. So complete is the change in the formation that instead of the ringing sound which was formerly made by the drill, there is scarcely any sound at all now as it drops.
 If, as is believed, the Co conino sandstone is com pletely gone through Gnstead of a soft place in it having been found) it will be wei come news for everyone in- terested in the district. Ac- cording to the geologists the formation underlying the hard caprock< is so much softer that from 25 to 50 feet per day can easily be made-which means that the point where the productive oil sands are said to lie will soon be reached.
 Considerable excitement was created last week by a report that the Hopi had struck gas in big quantities. The report gained credence not only in town but one or two outside papers carried stories about it, though the local papers and your cores pondent investigated before making mention. Investi- l gation proved that the Hopi| had gone through a small stratum of oil sand, which contained some gas, but not in sufficient quantities to get excited about, as Senator Mayfield put it.
 Of course any showing of oil or gas is encouraging, but the importance of this find lies in the fact that it was made within 10 feet of where Prof. Chas. E. Major, the company's geologist, said it would be made. Prof. Major, who was formerly chief geo. iogist for the United Verde Copper Co.,, made his calcu- lation from an oil seepage| which he found in the can yon, and from the dip of the sands.
 It has been known for some time that the sands in  the canyon near the Hopi well show oil in more than one place, and Prof. Major got decided tests when Sen ator Mayfield called his at tention to it.
 Great interest is manifest l ed in the report on the Hol- brook oil field, by Dorsey Hager, which will be pub iished on the 18th of this month. Hager not only has

The situation in the street industry has at last be-
come serious, affecting tremendously the pros
periy and very safety of savings banks life insurance
companies and other industries that the United States
Government is taking an active part in efforts to relieve
the tense situation
AT the suggestion of VIM G. Redfield, Secretary of
Commerce, and w. B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor Presi
dent Wilson has appointed Federal Electric Railway
Commission composed of the following members: Ed
win F. Sweet assistant Secretary of Commerce. Royal
Meeker Commissioner of Labor Statistics Department
of Labor; Louis b. Wehle general counsel OF the war
Corporation Chas. E. Elmquist, president of the Ma
tiona Association of Railway and Utility Commits
sioners; Chas. w. Beal of the American Investment
Bankers Association; Philip H. Gadsden, American
Electric Railway Association; VIM. D. Mahon, Amaga
mated Association of Street and Electric Railway En-.
ployes of America, and George l.. Baker, Mayor OF
Portland Oregon representing the American Cities
League of Mayors.
In Joint letter urging this action by the President,
Secretaries Redied and Wilson stated: The electric
railway problem has recently assumed such serious
tiona proportion to warrant the prompt attention of
the Federal Government. The street railway industry
as whole is virtually bankrupt. The continued
shrnkage in the value of hundreds of millions of cleo
trio railways securities held by savings banks national
banks life insurance companies and by the public at
large threatens to embarrass the nations financial
operations"
The Commission has recently written to President
Wilson urging him bring the situation to the aten
ton of Congress. The letter follows:
.'The Commission appointed by you to inquire into
the condition of the electric railway industry of the
United States considers it to be it's duty, result of

whose experience with the traffic problems of Cleveland
proved very interesting and helpful to the Commission
"While the testimony has disclosed widely varied
opinion the future of this industry it has shown
almost unanimous agreement the following points
to it's present condition:
a. The financial condition of the industry
whole is greatly impaired Sixty-four companies re-
presenting nearly fourteen cent of the countrys
total electric railway mileage in the hands OF re-
cevers; many companies earning nothing upon
their investment and unless there change for
the better large part of the industry faces nso-

"The street railroad problem than any l
