Senator Ashurst Denies
That He Is TO Retire

From the Phoenix Messenger.
Senator Henry F. Ashurst will
be candidate to succeed him
self when the present term ex-
pires or in 1922. We cheerfully
give publicity to the statement
and it is just to those who might
aspire to the place. He says
Editor, The Messenger::'<
Il have just observed in your
valuable weekly in its issue of
the 18th inst. an article clipped
from the Coconino Sun, which
article goes on to say that | may
voluntarily retire from the SEN
ate at the end of my present
term. Surely the editor of the
Sun should be familiar enough
with politicians to know that we
never voluntarily retire; we may
die or be defeated, but we never
decline to be a candidate.
with great esteem,
Henry +. Ashurst. +"

Gray Squirrel Hunters
Fined in New Mexico

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Nov. g.
Wat is probably the first prose-
cution in the State under the
new game law for protecting tas-
sel-eared gray squirrels was re-
Gently conducted by Ranger j.
r. Mcclure of the U. S. Forest
Service at Hanover, New Mex
leo.
Two residents of Pierro, New
Mexico, were found killing tassel-
cared gray squirrels out of sea-
son and without a license. Com
plants were sworn out by Ran
ger Mcclure on these two char
ges, and the two men were fined
$50. 90 and costs before a Justice
of the Peace.
The tassel-eared squirrels have
been placed under protection tc
prevent their determination, es-
peciallyin areas much frequenteC
by summer vacationists.

Apache Oil Company
Getting Into Action

The lumber is being received
and the carpenters have already
arrived to commence work on
the tower for the Apache Oil
company's drilling machinery at
Four Mile. Drilling will COM
mence just as soon as the tower
is completed.
The advent Of the Apache COM
pany into this district means a
great deal to Snowflake and Tay-
lor. 1t is a big company with
the largest land holdings of any
similar organization in the coun-
ty and the money it will expend
in development work alone will
be an enormous amount. All
will derive some benefit, fnan-
cially and otherwise, from the
project. Those who have not
already acquired stock in this
company should do SO at once
and assist, encourage and boost
the enterprise-show the pro-
moters you are behind them.
1t is prophesied by some of
the more learned ones that be-
fore oil is reached in this pro-
posed well artesian water will
be encountered. Even if oil is
not struck and artesian water is,
the outlay of money would only
be a drop in the bucket, for with
a good flow of water the many
acres of now valueless lands in
the immediate section of the
we'll could be made to produce
agricultural crops in abundance.
And if oil is struck that is, in
paying quantities we'll all be in
the ROCKEFELLER class.

GANGS All Here

The partners Of a well-knoWn
stock exchange house were hav-
ing a dinner conference at an
uptown hotel. One of them ap-
peared worried during the prog

his fit of abstraction. I just

Thomas Edwin Parish, state
historian for Arizona, died re-
Gently in Phoenix, following sur
gical operation. He was &c years
old and a native of Tennessee.
He not only wrote Arizona his
tory but took a hand in making
some of it. He fulfilled various
positions of public trust with
honor to himself and his state
and was prominent in democratic
circles.

offers the best indications for
the production of oil.
Mr.. Mcdowell was in town
during the week and stated that
he expected to have two oil drill
ing rigs in operation on his lease
about forty miles east of Hol-
brook, by the first of January.
1t is reported on good authority
that the Hopi oil company has
placed orders for lumber with
the Webb sawmill company at
Pinedale for two drilling rigs
which will be erected between
town and its rig now drilling near
Dry Lake. With all this expect
ed activity in view things are
looking much better for Hol-
brook in a business way.
The town has been full of
stockmen of late who are wait
ing here for cars to ship their
cattle. The cowboys who come
here now are very gentle in COM
parison to the wild and woody
punchers who formerly infested
this country. 1t used to be that
they announced their arrival in
town by riding through tn e
streets on a gallop, yelling as
they went and firing their guns
intermitently, but now they ap-
pear as gentle as pet calves and
almost pass unnoticed.
The managementof the Hol-
brook Hotel had a cement walk
put down in front of the hotel
property the first of the week.
Gradually walks are being put
down on most of the walks IN
town and it is only a matter OF a
short time until they will be
found all over town.
The board of supervisors we're
in session long enough Monday
to issue a sufficient number Of
warrants on the county treas
urer in favor of the corps of Off
cials at tae court house to keep
them from abandoning their jobs

Dunbar Case Dismissed

The case of the United States
versus John 0. Dunbar, editor
a n d proprietor of 'Dunbar's

Knox Put On Good Show

Eugene Knox, impersonator,
gave one of his famous enter
tainments at the Stake house
Wednesday night. AS an enter
tainer, Knox is probably the best
today in his line appearing either
with the Chatauquas or Lyceums
in the United States. He is an
artist in elocution, and his facial
expressions. voice shadings and
gestures bring the characters
he initiates right before ones
eyes" The large audience at
tending pronounced the enter
tainment worth many times the
admission price.
This was the first number of
the Lyceum course to be given
this winter under the auspices
of the S. S. A. the second being
announced for early in December.

points, where Mr.. Alberga's superb
rend1tions were appreciated by all
lovers of good music.
In the concert at the Nogales park
yesterday evening Mr.. Alberga's solo
was particularly notable; the ex-
ecution was faultless and the shading
was finished. He will be heard
frequently with the performances of

Mr.. Alberga's experience is one of
real accomplishment, as shown by
the long connection he enjoyed with
such musical organizations as the

him with the 25th Infantry Band, and
