SCHOOL NOTES

Prof. Dolman and Supt. Peterson returned fir o m Phoenix, where the Teach ers' Institute was in session.
 Judge Thomas of the School Board, was also visit ing Phoenix as a student of aviation.
 November 11th, American Legion Day, was observed by the students with fitting exercises, although school did not dismiss.
 The old adobe school house will reopen next week for the benefit of students of the lower grades from across the river.
 A tennis contest is in pro- gress between Annie Wallace and Fay Flanigan on the one side and Goldie Greer and Minnie Wallace on the other for the school championship in girls doubles. Goldie Greer and Minnie Wallace won the first set, score 6-3. A large and enthusiastic crowd was present.

 Pioneering a new field takes men of stout heart and a stiff backbone, not posses sing which, it is foolish for anyone to undertake the bur dens of the pioneer, to whom usually applies the old pro- verb: "A prophet is with out honor in his own coun- try" This, while not liter ally true in Holbrook, was the case with many in the beginning, but the "doubt- ing Thomases'' have gradu- ally dwindled through the acquisition into the ranks of the believers, of the original pessimists. True, we still have with us men to whom no other part of the pros pective field appeals except that in which they them selves are interested, but it is a rare occasion to find one who does not thoroughly be- lieve that in some chosen, or favorite spot, oil will be found in abundance in the Holbrook oil field.

ARMISTICE DAY
 GENERALLY OBSERVED

November 11th, the an niversary of the signing of the armistice in the worlds war, was generally observed throughout the United States in paying tribute to the brave and intrepid Americans who risked their lives for an ideal and to the honor of their country, entailing thereby eternal homage from their patriotic kinsmen, friends and countrymen. The Gov ernors of twelve states pro- claimed a general holiday and fitting services were held in most of the cities of the country.
 Of the national holidays, "Armistice Day." will take it's prominent place and each year provide our patriotic citizens with a motif to keep the fires of patriotism burn ing.
 The just pride in those of our boys who returned and the homage paid to those who made the supreme sac rifice proved in some in- stances the incentive for dis loyal scum to rally to the flag of anarchy and Bolshev- ism, as in the northwest, where I. w. s, the most cowardly and dastardly of traitors, fired into the ranks of marching Legion men, killing and wounding sev- eral, anyone of whose lives was worth innumerably more than the entire collection of anarchistic CUTS.
 The people of America are fast losing patience with agitators of anarchistic tend encies and drastic action may be looked for unless condi- tions are remedied in this respect.

SHOWING AT THE ADAMANA
 WELL ENCOURAGING

Drilling at the we'll of the Adamana Company is still in blue Jim e formation, which the management so confidently believes will be found to be the capping of an oil producing sand. MT. Sherwood, in charge of the local office, states that at no time since the inception of work by his company, have conditions looked as we'll as they do now, both in the Helbrook and in the Ventura Fields. A new cable is en

GET TOGETHER

It is to be deplored that parties having the interest of the entire field at heart, and enthusiastic as to the eventual outcome, should let personal prejudices align them with the loose tongued fraternity. What everyone should do in Holbrook is to get together and boost every company that is drilling to prove the field, as they all believe confidently, and with reason, that it will be amply proven. Still, a knock against any one organization based purely on personal prejudices may take dollars from a prospective pur- chaser away from a company that is in good faith drilling to benefit all, and it is a diff cult game to finance the drilling of a well in the pioneer fields.

HOLBROOK OIL COMPANY
 MAKES GOOD TIME

The management of the Holbrook Oil Company an- nounces the present depth of the we'll at a little over 800 feet. It had been expected that this depth would be in- creased during the week to over 900 at least, but one of the incidents annoying to drilling operations decreed that progress should slow up for a few days. All this on account of the breaking of a stem and the necessity of fishing it out and welding,
The Holbrook news., 1919-11-14

delaying drilling operations three or four days at least. However, the time made by Supt. Hastings, up to this accident has been better than h a S b e e n accomplished through the same formation by any other company in the field and with this handicap a few days off drilling will still make the average time excellent. @
 The formation being drill ed at present is dark brown and while hard, is not as difficult drilling as the CO., conino. Within the next three hundred feet, which should be attained in the near future according to past performances of this stand ard rig, a new and interest ing formation should be en- countered.
 Many of the company's stockholders have visited the we'll in the past week or two and invariably have return ed to town stating thatcondi- tions and progress were even better than they had antici- pated. As this we'll is locat- ed on the big anticline, much interest is being manifest at the rapidly increasing depth.

 Miss Pickford has numerous admirers, who will no doubt be in attendance Sunday. Miss Pickford has numerous admirers, who will no doubt be in attendance Sunday. All press reports say: "You haven't seen Mary Pickford until you have witnessed Daddy Long Legs. A contract was signed this last week on all Nazimova pro- auctions. Nazimova is per haps not so we'll known to the public of this immediate vicinity, due to the fact that her productions have not been shown here in the past. However, she is at present rated as the worlds greatest actress. The public will learn to admire her more and more as her photoplays are shown. Her first production to be shown in Holbrook will be "The Red Lantern" which comes on the last Saturday of this month. "The Red Lantern has just finished a two weeks run, which was the firstsrun at the New Cal ifornia Theatre in Los An geles. This fact speaks well for Nazimova since the Cal ifornia is one of the best theatres in Los Angeles. All of the famous Burton Holmes travelogues have also been added to the regular weekly program at the Pastime.

Field Operations Watched With In- tense Interest---Activity

Optimism regarding the ultimate production of the Holbrook oil field continues on the increase as the evil dences of oil become known to those who had heretofore been little conversant with them. The showing made in the Hopi well and in the we'll of the Adamana com pany have been practically conclusive as to the presence of commercial oil in this field and bear out the favor able geological reports which in the beginning had much to do with the bringing to the field of those pioneers who have made, production not only a possibility, but a

ARMISTICE DAY WEDDING

MT. Artemus Herndon Hemphill and Miss Lillian Elizabeth Freeman were married at the residence of Judge Easley, Tuesday even- ing, November II, 1919, the Judge officiating.
 It will be interesting to recall that the entire world was celebrating the signing of the armistice that brought peace to all a year ago this date.
 To put a romantic senti- ment into the occasion the plans were made and carried out on the eleventh hour, eleventh day, and the elev- enth month of this year, nineteen nineteen, all figures being odd and considered lucky by the contracting parties.
 MT. Hemphill is now To- cated at Fort Apache, Ari- zona, having recently re- turned from overseas after twenty-six months of service with the A. E. F., being on the first ship to cross the waters in the cause of de- mocracy. MT. Hemphill's home is in Kentucky, while his brides residence is in Florida, the land of flowers.

discouraging, but on the con.
 trary, had been such as tc
 warrant the acquisition o1
 additional land. While the
 Wind River company has ap'
 parently ceased to bea factor
 in the drilling of the Hopi well, no definite statement
 insofar as we can learn, has
 been made to indicate that
 the abandonment of the well
 is or has been considered by
 the Hopi management.
 Many men thoroughly be- lieve that with continued drilling, orperhaps the shoot ing of the present hole, the Hopi we'll will be made a producer even at the depth attained and above the red wall formation.
 The spudding in of the Zuni we'll added a new zest to operations the past week and followers of the north side are on the qui vive for encouraging news from this drilling.
 One may say that the ac- tivity in the field the past week has taken on new life in the efforts of one or two companies to be the first to take advantage of at least tenn porary suspension of work on the Hopi well,. to be the first to bring in oil in the Holbrook field. At the Ad- amana, much optimism pre- vails on account of the re- cent showing and the blue lime formation in which drill ling is now being conducted. At the Holbrook Oil com pany well a new girding of the Joins may be noticed and it goes without saying that these two companies will take every advantage of time possible in order to be
 first to the oil" now that thehandicap of greater depth of the Hopi is neutralized by the present inactivity.
 The Apache company re- ports progress in the erec- tion of its rig on it's new site and its entry into the com petition for first honors may be looked for in the near future.
 Frequent arrivals of those seeking business locations or prospects is but the forerun- her of the time when Burk- burnett and Ranger will probably look like selling platers. The Arizona state line certainly did not keep the oil which has been proven to surround Arizona, from entering this state and the San Juan field, just north of the Holbrook field is evil dently related to this struc- ture.
 There is no doubt but that this field is an oil structure.
