INDIAN AS A LINcUIsT

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle)
 Although only a comparatively small number of American Indians joined the American expeditionary forces in France, they made themselves useful in several unique ways. As scouts they showed their native ability to obtain information where others failed. It now transpires that they were used in many cases where it was known that German intelligence officers had cut in on the American and other all lied telephone lines and were '1isten- ing in" These guileless sons of the forest, when detailed to this duty, sim ply used their own language in con- veying their important information.

E Sloan and members of the commission An open session was then held al which agents of the financial concerns making the various bids for the bonds practically all of which were below par-discussed the points objected tc and were informed of the legal condi- lions that are attached to local bond issues.
 Big Attorneys Fees"
 Practically all of the bids were re. iected because they did not coincide With the conditions of the state law Most of the irregularities which caused he rejection of the bids were stipula. tions in the bids for attorneys fees and commissions on the sale. One bid went SO high as to call for S56, ,00t for attorneys fees"
 The only bid of the six that wa, numerically above par. that of S1,302.. 900 by the Valley bank. acting for tn, Harris Trust and Savings bank of Chi cago. was also rejected on a techni cality. although members of the com mission made favorable comment. upon it.

ago but notwithstanding this, no test we'll for oil was started until the lat ter part of 1918.
 Secretary Hennessy, of the Ada mana Oil Co.,, is spending 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 Ada mana, like the other companies drill ing, have had plenty of grief as a re- suit of the unusual storms and mud dy roads, but the work done of late will leave them in good condition when the god of storms takes va cation.
 The Holbrook Oil Co.,, has also been hung up on account of muddy roads and has awaited better wealth CT conditions before starting it's rig and spudding in the we'll.

A MARRIAGE TANGLE
 INVOLVED IN SUIT

Whether or not Mrs. Ella Parker will retain the 5000 shares of United Arizona Copper company stock giver her by her former husband is a mat ter the court did not determine yes. terday. After lengthy hearing Judge Stanford announced that he would take the matter under consid- eration.
 The suit had to do with the setting aside of a contract purporting to be a settlement of property right in which Mrs. Parker was granted the shares of mining stock.
 Subsequent to this action, however, she brought suit to annul her mar riage to Almon Parker on the ground that he had a wife when he married her. Parker, it was shown, believed his first wife had secured a divorce from him when in reality she had only obtained division of the prop erty.
 Niles and Shepherd, Parkers coun- sel, contend that the contract was based on a marriage relation when no marriage existed, and that there ore the consideration failed.

Did A Lot of Shooting
(Stars and Stripes, France)

(Stars and Stripes, France)
 When the artillery brigades along the Mouse found themselves in DOS. session of bewildering array of guns but not single target, they at least had the satisfaction of real izlng that they had done quite a bit of shooting while the shooting was good and they also had the leisure to do a bit of figuring. On Novem- Der 1.-the day when the Kreimhilde line went all to smash-the guns be- hind the doughboys in the 1st Amer jean army fired, during the hours from 3 in the morning until noon, some 29 trains of ammunition, each train made up of 30 lotion French railway cars.
 This ammunition ranged all the way from the little shells fired bv the 75s to the huge proiectiles weighing 1,400 pounds each and fir ed by American guns of larger cal iber even than the Big Bertha that pounded away at Paris last spring.

Golden Weeds of Idaho

Idaho owns a gold mine and
 though it was nothing but a lot of yellow weeds. The lowly dandelion has come into it's own. Director Lee Fluharty of the University of Idaho extension department has received a communication from an eastern chemical concern quoting a price of 32 cents pound for the dried roots of the lowly despised dandelion plant. In addition to the dandelion there are several other Idaho weeds, which have similar medicinal value Some of them are skunk cabbage leaves, with value of 6 cents pound; yell low mustard seed, 12 cents; mullein leaves, 21a cents, and the dried flow CTS of white and red clovers, which has value of 12 and IA cents a pound, respectively.

THE 1918 GOLD CROP

One annual crop, and highly i'm portant crop, too, was considerably below the five-year average in the United States yield last year. The gold yield from all the districts at tached to or controlled by the United States sent to the hints during 1918 new cold to the value of $6S, ,493, ,000, which, according to the statement of Director of the Mint Baker, is the lowest United States output within period of 20 years.
 We do not know from any detailed summary to what extent the war has affected the worlds gold stocks. It is the reasonable surmise that the merchant gold-the gold of plate and that used in the manufacture of watches, bracelets and other forms of ornaments-has been largely drawn upon by the strong demand of gold

NEWS LETTER FROM
 HOLBROOK SECTION
By JAMES r. o'BRIEN, Asst-Secy. Chamber of Commerc

Holbrook, Ariz., March GA con-
 plete change in the formation
 through which the drill of the Hopi
 Oil Co. is passing took place Satur- day afternoon, and it is the belief of
 Senator Mayfeld and Tom McCauley, the executive afficers of the com pany, that the cross-bedded Coconino sandstone of the Pennsylvania form alton, which is the caprock of this section, has at last been bottomed. 50 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 now as it drops.
 If, as is believed, the Coconino sandstone is completely gone through lnstead of soft place in it having been found) it will be welcome news for everyone interested in this dis trict. According to the geologists the formation underlying the hard cap is so much softer that from 25
 to 50 feet per day can be easily made-which means that the point where the productive oil sands are said to lie will soon be reached.
 Considerable excitement was creat- ed last week by the report that the HOpi had struck gas in big quanti- ties. The renort gained credence not only in town, but one or two outside papers carried stories about it, though the local papers and your knI Laf1 making mention. Investigation prov ed that the Hopi had gone through a small stratum of oil sand, which contained some gas, but not in suffi- cient quantities to get excited about, as Senator Mayfeld rut it.
 Of course any showing of oil or gas is encouraging, but the impor- tance of this find lies in the fact | that it was made within 10 feet of | where Prof. Chas. E. Major, the com pany's geologist, said it would be made. Prof. Major, who was for ! merly chief geologist for the United Verde Copper Co.,, made his calcul- ation from an oil seepage which he found in the canyon and the dip of the sands.
 It has been known for some time that the sands in the canyon near the Hopi we'll show oil in more than one place, and Prof. Major got decided tests when Senator Mayfield called his attention to it.
 Great interest is manifested in the report on the Holbrook oil field. by Dorsey Hager, which will be publish ed on the 18th of this month. Hager not only has high reputation as a geologist but he is one of the most interesting, though conservative, writers on geology. The article was written at the request of the Cham ' Der of Mines and Oil, of Los An geles.
 It has long been known that flag , CT, Major, and half dozen promin- | ent geologists have passed favorably upon this field, and the newspaper men have sometimes been allowed to see the originals, but the article by Hager will be the first authoritative publication by prominent geologist upon the Holbrook oil field since drilling began. Dr. Herbert E. Gregory, Marius R. Campbell and other government men have includ- ed this section in U. S. Geological Survey reports made several years,

for money purposes. By the same token it may be inferred that there is much larger stock of gold in the money vaults and available as money than when the war began. We know for certain that there has been a great increase in monetary gold in this country. And it is not in the records that either weaknesses, or wedding rings have been turned into gold coin to any large extent in this country.
 Our large gold stock has been drawn from the world stocks of mon- etary gold. As to the future of the gold yield-this industry, like other peaceful industries, may be expected to resume normal soon. The world needs its annual gold yield, just as it needs the annual yields of wheat, cotton and other farm products.

mysteriously.

At another stroke upon the gong
Shallum again appeared. Taking a
basket he packed within the same a
small idol of silva, incense bowls, a
gong and small casket with two
carved metal handles fastened to the
lid at the ends. Raising it aloft, Ram

"Behold the Casket Of Death OF

at it.

If not-well, remember won't stand

"The Holy silva will summon him
