SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Claude Mann and Herbert Me Gaffey were in Holbrook We'd nesday and, from all accounts. glad they were still in the land of the living. Mann and Nc Gaffey. together with Floyd Miller and MT. Morrison were using a gasoline motor car on the Apache Railroad and going at a good rate of speed when just the other side of Daggs Reservoir the motor car suddenly jumped the track, throwing Mann imme- diately in front of the hurtline car. severely bruising his right leg, breaking his right arm and bruising his head severely. Of the others who were thrown from the car, McGaffey suffered a broken right arm also, the other two suffering from bruises and contusions. It was fortunate that within half an hour after the accident another gasoline car passed and took the injured men to Snowflake where they were attended by Dr. Bazell, who was summoned from Holbrook.

STANDING COMMIT
 TEE SUGGESTED
 FOR HOLBROOK

During the agitation of the
 past few days several cases have
 come to light where claim jump.
 ing has apparently been in, dulged in. It is the intention of the District Organization to weed out this evil. irrespective of who the cuIprits may be and an in- vestigation is being made of cases which have been called to the attention of the association. In this connection it is proposed to appoint a permanent commit tee with power to investigate and take necessary action with out waiting for the regular meet ing of the District Organization. This is a move in the right di- rection and claim jumpers will find Holbrook an unhealthy cli- mate. Locations 'en masse" will be investigated as to the regularity of locations and filing and a vigorous effort will be made to eradicate any source of irregular operations.

HEADS OF ALLEN OIL
 co. VISIT HOLBROOK

c. P. Ritter, President, and Frank Woolsey. Secretary. re- spectively, of the Allen Oil com- pany, were HoIbroek visitors during the week. A visit to the oil field was made Thursday in company with Governor Meikle- john and B. T. Spencer, and on their return both Mir. Ritter and Mir. Woolsey expressed them- selves as very much impressed with the initial development of the field as we'll as the apparent possibilities. This expression is very gratifying to the operators as the Allen company is no mo- vice in the oil game and it's con- neetions are the best. Frank Hitchcock, formerly postmaster general, is Yice-president of this company.
 The nature of the business which brought Messrs. Ritter and Woolsey to Holbrook will un- doubtedlY be made public in a short time.

WHY TEXAS?

From the reports of the num- Der of people, and the number of dollars they have invested in Texas oil stocks, the people of Arizona have been stampeded with the idea that anything in Texas is bound to be good. While the Texas fields are wonderful from a production standpoint and the fields are large, still. a great many stocks that are being sold are purchased carrying a greater chance than stock which is bought in a pioneer field. In the Texas field, too, many com panies are operating on small leases. from one to ten acres. and it has been pointed cuk that even with production, the wells on these small properties could not be expected to be more than 6 moderate pumping we'll. because the multiplicity of producers sur rounding such small acreage would naturally drain the oil area.
 Without doubt many companies have been formed to trail along with the reputation of the Rang CT and Burkburnett fields, and while there is no disposition to belittle these great fields. still, stock In many of the companies there is alleged to carry many chances against success, or at most. any decided success.
 It is reported that Phoenix alone has sent some $100, 800 a week to the Texas fields; Jerome Prescott and other localities of the state have been carried along in the wild stampede. when right  here at home. according to the best obtainable geological re- ports. the Holbrook field offers better chances than some of the Texas offerings. The successful development of the Holbrook field. so confidently expected, will do more for the State of Ari- zona than anything that has eyer happened and return more to the farseeing investors than any in- vestment they could have made. The idea seems to prevail. how ever, among some, that as soon as production is assured and the sure thing is of common knowl- edge, then they will break their necks to get in on the ground floor, which, unfortunately for them, will be occupied. The ones who made the big money in Ranger and Burkburnett were those who had backbone enough. sporting blood enough, to take some element of chance-the same will apply to the Holbrook field. We suggest to Arizonans that they look more closely to their home grown opportunities and lend the assistance they are sending out of the state to the development of their own terri tory.

Field Notes
ADAMANA OIL o.-(Dn1lins)

Work was suspended for a short period this week owing to the breaking of the walking beam which was almost immediately replaced and work has been re- sumed with two towers.

HOLBROOK HAS
 GLORIOUS FOURTH
Splendid Programme Un. marred by Accident or
 Disturbance

The attempt of Holbrook tc make the Fourth of July ceIebra- ton of this year an event of greater consequence than ever before. met with unqualified suc- cess. The two days celebration was featured by balloon ascen. sion each day by Aeronaut Chas. Hawley, his drop from a para chute holding the crowds breath less. A troop of cavalry from Fort Apache formed the feature of the parade and the cavalry drill at the ball grounds Friday and Saturday morning was very much appreciated by the large crowd in attendance. The bar becue was success and appre si- ated by a hungry crowd. The boxing contest was largely at- tended by members of both sex, and while it was brought to an unfortunate close by an acci- dental foul; was interesting to the boxing fans. The ball game Friday between Holbrook and Snowflake was won by the latter, thus giving them the opportunity to battle the following day with the strong Fort Apache team, the latter game resulting,in tie score at the end of the tenth in ming when the game was called on account of dispute over a de- cision of the umpire. Races both foot and horse were indulged in and there was never a minute in either day but that some game or sport was going on. the eysn- ings being devoted to dancing.
 A pleasing feature of the cele- bration was that not single ar rest was necessary, no distur- bance of any kind marring the festivities. The large crowd in attendance from the surrounding country was gratifying and no doubt on the occasion of Hol- brooks next celebration, a much greater attendance may be ex- pected in accordance with Hol- ] brooks reputation as host.

Failure on the part of the State Treasurer's office to make the proper credits during the last three years is resulting in the charging of interest to at least eight of the counties of the state on loans already paid into the state treasury. Such in brief is the contention of State Engineer Thomas Maddock, who has brought the matter to the atten- tion of State Treasurer H. s. Ross in an effort to clear up definitely the question of just how much money is credited to the state road fund for each county.
 Under the provisions of chap ter 55, session laws of 1915, the State Treasurer is required to charge interest at the rate of five per cent on all deferred pay ments on amounts owed by the various counties to the state road fund, but it is apparently the in- tent of the law that no interest charges be made until the county has made it's first payment to the state in return for money bor- rowed. In other words. after the county borrows money from che state for bridge construction, something every county in the state does frequently, no inter est is charged against that coun- ty's indebtedness to the state un- oil it has made a payment on the amount due. The payment is then credited to the county. and interest charged at the rate of five per cent on the balance due. -[Verde Copper News.
