THE SUPREME COURT
 DECIDES MOOTED QUESTION
Actual Discovery of Oil Not Necessary
 to Hold Locations

sential to the preservation of the possessory right. The right is lost only by abandonment. as by non-performance of the annual labor required by section 2324. !"
 This opinion is of great inter est to the locators or Govern ment ground in this field. as the question has been one which has been argued continually. This opinion makes it clear that To- cator. making a valid location, may retain possession of his claims by doing the required as- sessment work in the required period of time and that the mat ter of discovery of oil is not necessary to hold against others. The opinion is quite exhaustive and brings in the operation of local regulations not in conflict with the Federal or State statut- es.

 ternal Revenue.

 Dealers are warned in a state ment issued by the Bureau of In- ternal Revenue that proprietary stamps by means of which the tax on toilet and medicinal arti- cles is collected must be cancelled when the article is sold.

BOY SCOUTS WEEK

June 8 to IA having been set
 aside for the celebration of Boy
 Scout week, brings to our attens
 ton the fact, if not aIreadS
 realized. that the organization of Boy Scouts is an important anG
 permanent factor in our national life. The Boy Scout movement is undoubtedly the best thing
 that has ever been established
 for the young boys of the world,
 and encouragement should be given in every way by churches. schools and parents to this or ganization which tends to make it's members more patriotic, more healthy. more mentally alert. and above all of inestimable value to their country. The President pays the following tribute to the Boy Scouts:-
 ''The Boy Scouts of America. have rendered notable service to to the nation during the world war. They have done effective work in the Liberty Loan and war saving campaigns; in dis covering and reporting upon the black walnut supply; in cooper atIng with the Red Cross and other war work agencies; in act ing as dispatch bearers for the committee on public information and in other important fields the Boy Scouts have not only de- their worth to the nation. but have also materially l contributed to a deep apprecia- tion by the American people of the higher conceptions of pat riotism and good citizenship"

ANOTHER DEMAND
 ON OIL PRODUCTION

It is reported that the Texas 6 Pacific Railroad has let three year contract for fuel oil for all their motive power the contract beginning the coming fall. It is estimated the amount of fuel oil required on this contract will be in the neighborhood of 2,500, 900 barrels a year. Some of the passenger engines on this road have heretofore burned oil. but use of this fuel has not been ex- tensive. No doubt this heavy demand will stimulate the oil market and will probably affect oil prices.

ADAMS DENIES STATEMENTS THAT
 WIND RIVER WELL HAS STRUCK OIL

Persistent rumors to the effect that the Wind River-HOpi well has struck oil, and misleading publication to the supposition that oil has been struckin our we'll induce me to make public denial of such impression, rumOrs or statements In the first place we are not at depth as yet where oil could be expected although drilling as fast as ex perienced drillers can go. The fact that we are drilling is indicative of our reasonable expectation of getting oil, but cannot condemn too severely unwarfanted statements as to progress of our de- yelopment and even implied suggestions that we have already struck oil.

UNDERCURRENT OF EXPECTATION PER-
 VADES HOLBROOK

Nope, there is no boom here--
 yet. Nevertheless the strong
 and apparent undercnrrent of
 actively is having it's effect; ru-
 mors and denials are frequent.
 but the situation may be likened
 to a kettle of water over a good
 able bodied fire-simmering, and
 liable to boil over and lift the lid
 at any time. Opinions of those
 well versed in the situation vary,
 but it seems to be a recognized
 possibility that the next thirty
 to sixty days may be pregnant
 with history making events in
 the annals of local happenings.
 Outside interests are very ac-
 tive and the undercurrent of ac- tiyity is becoming more and more pronounced. We expect to be able to give some definite an nouncement in our next issue as to the personnel and plans of the Shamrock Oil Go. and of the plans of the Holbrook- Midwest. 1 and it is possible that other an- nouncements may be made. The | reader is not to conclude from this article that the boom is on- far be it from such-but we make 1 a good conservative suggestion | to any who may be thinking of | getting in on this field, that if they think well enough of it to be seriously considering the step- now is the time. and procrastin- ton may not only prove the thief of time. but of money.
 The pioneers of this field are very much on the job. after many hardships and trials and you may get a hunch that these men in keeping at the helm. have a pretty good idea of getting favorable results, for the tri- bulations they have been through would have made the averageI man let loose of mediocre pro- position in jig time. If you have any idea that the good things of a successful field are going to be handed to you on a silver platter wake up and get busy. Now is the time-the smoke of intense in- terest has had a fire to make it. Summed up, we may say the is as favorable. if not more so, than should be expect ed at the present stage of de- velopment New York financial interests are taking cognizance of Holbrook Field and 1t looks as though the lid is getting loose.
 Our information as to field operations comes direct from the operating management and as to whether or not any pertinent in- formation is being withheld. |, your guess is as good as ours.

BASEBALL

The Holbrook Baseball team will go to Winslow next Sunday to play a return game with the Winslow-Navajo team. At the last meeting of the two teams Holbrook came out on the long end of the score and the Wins lowites expect to get even this time. Without doubt a large de- legation will go down from Hol- brook to-root for the home boys.
 The game last Sunday between Snowflake and Holbrook proved an exciting contest. resulting in a score of g to 4 in favor of Snowflake. The game was a bumdinger up to the 9th inning, the score being 2 to 0 favor of Holbrook. Just before the sixth inning some designing person gave the Snowflake bunch some murine and a magic bat and six markers were put across before Holbrook could stem the tide. We would like to see these two teams mix again.
