Chamber of Commerce
 Board of Directors to Meet

The first meeting of the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce to be held in the new quarters in the Larson building is scheduled for next Monday evening, April Eth. Regular meetings are to be held on the first and third Mondays of each month and all members are in- vited to attend.
 At the meeting on Monday evening a number of important matters are to come up, and re- ports are to be received from committees. Through the kind ness of Mrs. R. R. Turbeville and Mrs. G. L. Ayres the peti- tions to the telephone company asking that continuous service be inaugurated has been circu- lated. The benefits to be deriv- ed from this innovation are so much greater than the increased cost it is believed that the time the subscribers can ring up Central at any hour of the twenty-four, and on every day of the year.
 The same ladies also circulated the petition to the town council asking that an election be called for the purpose of voting on the question of issuing bonds for municipal water. sewer and light systems. It looked at from the viewpoint of the dollars alone these propositions ought to carry overwhelmingly. but when health and sanitary conditions are also considered. those who have taken the lead in this matter be- lieve there should not be a vote cast against the bonds.

To the Public

As quite a number of Scarlet Fever cases have shown up in Holbrook and the cause for it's spread is evidently owing to the fact that there have been cases which have not been reported.
 I therefore, issue the follow ing order, That all cases of sick ness, especially accompanied with a rash and sore throat must be inspected by physicians. h. spection will cost nothing, and in view of the fact that we de- sire to prevent the disease from any further spreading. any case ascertained or found out to be Scarlet Fever or suspicious Scarlet Fever, which has not been reported, the parties will be prosecuted and fined in ac- cordance with the provisions of the State Board of Health.

Posse Prepares For Battle
 With Armed NavajOs

A Flagstaff despatch o:
 April 2, says. Two heavily
 armed Navajo Indians, saic
 to be the confessed slayerE
 of Charles HubbelI, brother
 of former State Senator
 Lorenzo Hubbell, and whose charred body was found ir the ruins of his trading post 45 miles north of Winslow, Ariz., March 23, are stand ing at bay in a mountain cave in one of the widest sections of the northern part of the state prepared to fight till death. This information was brought here today by other Navajo Indians who have been on the trail of Hubbells murderers since the night of the crime.
 The Navajos took up the hunt in obedience to their fellows who commit a wrong aganst a white man must be brought to book or the tribe will suffer a calamity.
 A posse now is organizing at Winslow to go after the two Indians who have defied any white man to take them alive. The posse is being headed by Sheriff J. o. liar rington of Coconino county and Sheriff Harp of Navajo county. Heavily armed volunteers are being enrolled and Indian guides engaged to lead the party to the mountain stronghold of the two Navajos. It is reported to be 80 miles north of Wins tow and in one of the most inaccessible sections of the hills.
 2 Former s t a t e Senator Lorenzo Huhbell, brother of the dead trader, and Lorenzo Hubbell, IT,, his nephew, are planning to accompany the posse. Both speak the Navajo language huently and are conversant with h. dian character and customs after years of dealing with them.
 Charles Hubbell's body was found lying beside his cash register the ruins of his burned post near the h. dian village of Oraiba on the night of March 23. It was suspected he had been robbed and murdered by Indians and the post burned to con- ceal the double crime.
 LATER. Since the above has been put in type a Flag staff dispatch says that the two sons of the Navajo chief Uatiltonny, said to have con- fessed to the murder of Charles Hubbell, March 23, have been captured by an Indian policeman and are in jail at Leupp, an Indian trad ing post. This information was received at Flagstaff after the departure from Winslow of the sheriff. S posse for Cedar Springs, where the refugees were re- ported in hiding. The posse will be stopped at Leupp.

Oil Review Gives
 HOIbrOOk Big Boost

The independent Oll Re
 view of Los Angeles, whicl
 is the official organ of tn,
 Independent Petr ole u m'i
 Marketer's association, has
 an excellent review of tht
 Holbrook oil field in the
 March issue just out. It k
 a clear cut endorsement ol
 the big possibilities here.
 There are six pages devoted to Holbrook and the follow ing is an editorial from the same issue:
 The Oil Review is giving considerable space of this issue to the Holbrook- Wins. low, Arizona, oil fields. It is a collection of reliable pro- fessional and practical down to-date material regarding a section of Arizona that has been known of thirty-five years to have crude petrol cum production possibilities, but not until within the past six months has anyone had the courage to invest in the expense of demonstrating the truth of the well-founded beliefs declared by eminent It has been the growing demand for crude petroleum products that has been the incentive to devel- opment, and this develop ment work so far have borne out the predictions of the geologists and mining en- indicating the pos of a prolific field.
 This new field is. of par ticular interest to the inde- pendent oil refiners of Cal ifornia today. All are short of crude. The failure of Congress to pass the mineral land leasing bill has prac- tically put a stop to new de- velopment work by the small operator in this state par ticularly, for the proven oil lands lie, in the main, with in the withdrawn area; in ad- dition, the extremely string ent rules and regulations of the Oil and Gas Inspection Commission have for a num- Der of years been a hindrance to new development, so that the oil producing business here has become a million aires game---small capital cannot contend with the vex- atious conditions. There fore, our neighboring state of Arizona presents an offer .ng fitting the occasion; there are hundreds of sections for ease by the state as well as .arge bodies of land on which patent has been secured from the government by individ- lals, and the geologists say this oil bearing territory GOV ITS an area approximately one hundred by forty miles.
 A producing field so close to the Southern California .efineries is devoutly to be and here's hoping there will be a full and bount- ful realization of the pre- lictions.

Big Leasing Project for
 HOIbrOOk Oil Fields

The most convincing anC
 fiattering indorsement re
 eeived by any field in it's pre-
 production period, according
 to many oil men, was giver
 a few days ago when the
 Wind River Producing and
 Refining company, one of the strongest companies op- erating in the Wyoming field, submitted an offer to the pioneer company of the Hol- brook field-the Hopi Oil company-for the develop ment of a portion of the lat ter's immense acreage here.
 As the papers have not all been signed yet, the full de- tails have not been given out for publication, but it is said that the contract calls for completing the well now be- ing drilled on what is prac- ticalIy a 5O-5O basis, and the drilling of other wells on the ground on a 66-33 basis.
 It is seldom that a royalty of more than one-eighth is given in an unproven field, and a 5O-56 contract is about the best that is asked in the proven fields of big produc- tion and few dry holes.
 The Holbrook structure has been for months under investigation by the Wind River Producing and Refin- ing gcompany's geologists and drilling experts, according to a story from the main office, and it was on their advice that the large acreage was taken over.
 It is rather significant that though the same story calls attention to the company's purchase of an 85-acre tract in the phenomenal Burkbur- nett field-where big wells are common and failures al- most unknown as we'll as to their big drilling campaign in the Lander (Wyo.,) field, the major portion of the art icle is devoted to the Hol- brook field. The portion of the story regarding Holbrook concludes with the following: ''The structure is an unusu- ally large one, IA by 8 miles approximately, and geolog- ists say it is perfect in all it's details.
 Henry c. Beeler, former state geologist of Wyoming, was the last of the Wind River company's geologists in here, and it is since his ex- animation that the big deal was made. The company's drillers have already taken charge at the we'll, heavier equipment has been secured and it is believed that it will be finished in 60 days.
 The death of Francis w. Hayes, a young geologist of high standing, which oc- cured here last week, brought out the fact, until then unknown, that he was representing a subsidiary of the Royal Dutch-Shell com pany, one of the worlds greatest petroleum produc- CTS. As is usual with repre- sentatives of the big fellows when examining a field, he gave out no information as

Emergency Bill Is Dead

Emergency Bill Is Dead
 Is the famous 'land lease bill" dead? Does Land Com. missioner Moeur get his raise? Will the county classi- fication and salary bill be- come effective?
 These, and 57 other varie- ties of questions, are agitat- ing, not only statehouse crowd, but thousands of other people--or it will when they find out what is going on.
 Rumors are flying thick and fast, quite a lot of peo- pie are standing around with a feat that ate the cream" expression, while numerous others are retiring to their inner offices are swearing more or less softly--mostly less.
 The office of the attorney general has been beseiged all day by the anxious from both sides of the argument.
 And here is what it's all about. Someone and one and all hold up their hands in horror and deny being that person--someone dug up a provision of the state con- stitution that says that an emergency measure must be passed by a two-thirds vote of both houses of the legisla- ture, and approved by the governor.
 Many Measures Affected
 Now there were five or six emergency measure t h a t were passed by both houses with the necessary majority, but they were sent to the secretary of the state with out executive action.
 Among these bills are the land lease law, the irrigation district bill, the amendment to the land code that raises some salaries in that depart the county classifica- tion and salary bill, and others.
 Opponents of these mea- sures are chuckling with glee that the bills are dead and imperative, while those interested in the bills are mostly somewhat glum.
 Attorney General Wiley Jones has not ruled on the In fact, he said yesterday that he had not been properly approached in the matter; that is, he has not been officially asked for an opinion, and besides, he says that he has not had time to look into the mat ters. He inferred, however, that the paragraph above quoted looked very bad for these bills.
 Many Run1ors Afoots
 That a suit in the superior asking for. an order restraining officials fro m putting these laws into effect until their legality or lack of 1t can be determined by the courts, is a report that is all around the city, with no author in sight. Rumor has it that McClusky, | who is said to have opposed the land bill, is behind it, out he referred inquirers toI
