SIDNEY MOORE SHOT

Sidney Moore, a junior of the Win
slow High school, had an accident
asst Sunday while hunting in the
mountains. He went out with a par
ty, leaving town Sunday morning
prepared to stay all day. About five
o'clock in the evening, Sidney, start
ing to shoot rabbit, tripped and
fell, causing the gun to go off, shooting
him through the instep. He was
brought to town Immediately and
taken to the doctors. He will not be
able to walk for some time, and we
will certainly miss him at the basket
ball game against Williams, to be
played here next Saturday as he was
one of our star players.

The Holbrook Oil Company had
its first obstacle since it began to
make footage 1t lost a bit in the
we'll but was delayed only three days
and is now drilling with a lighter
stem on account of their heavy
stem being broken and now being

With the exception of Holbrook Oil

Wesley is an experienced oil man
Texas, and also in Russia
We are of the opinion that he will
lot drill the well too soon to suit the
most of our Navajo County residents.
The Apache Oil Co. have about
completed their new derrick and it
is stated that they will begin opera
lion in the near future.
We have not received any new de-
mite information on the Heating
Syndicate, which is to erect the
seventh rig on this field. 1t is
1nown, however, that their equip
nent, machinery, supplies, ETC.,
lave not yet all arrived, but delay is
expected.
1t is stated that the Winslow Oil
Company are now considering two
propositions, and it is expected that
trtlling on their holdings will be
commenced early in January. The
stockholders, practically all railroad
men Of Winslow, state that if a salts
actory contract is not consumated,
they will arrange to finance and drill
themselves. They have already
financed one company in Oklahoma
and can without the slightest doubt
finance their own drilling here in
Navajo County.
E. A. Sawyer and Walter Lyons,
both directors of the Winslow Oil

vacation. Both are expected to re-
turn shortly after Thanksgiving.

MUCH INTEREST
IN OIL ACTIVITY
NAVAJO COUNTY field

Our information is that two yery
responsible companies are negotiat
ing for acreage for drilling with our
Holbrook and Winslow oil magnates
and we are reliably informed
that the prospects for securing at
least one and likely both companies
are very good. One is from the Wy
oming field and the other is from the
Ranger, Texas, field One party
states that his definite decision will
be given within week and while we
are requested not to give out names
or details at this time, we will later
announce the facts regardless of the
ultimate outcome.
The general progress on the field
was not SO pronounced the last week
as the few previous weeks. i How.
ever, that is only natural, as there
will always be more or less obstacles
and delays here just the same as or
any other field. Nevertheless, general
conditions are very good, indeed
even though there are not as much
total footage made the last seven
days as is generally the rule.
The Navajo County field is not the
only field that has more or less delays
from time to time. There are twenty
per cent or more of the wells in Ran.
ger or Desdemonia shut down all the
time for one cause or another, an6
rany that actually bring in oil, then
are shut down, account pipe lines
or reservoirs, etc. There is nc
doubt but what our citizens here
have invested in 25 or more com
pan1es III Texas, and to date we have
no one real Texas stakeholder unai
time to time.
Our field was visited Tuesday by
an interested party men Of mining
fame from the Jerome district. Some
OF those in the party were F. E. Van
derhope, Superintendent of The
Steam Shovel Works at Jerome, j
N. Brown of the Yavapia Drug Com
pany, and G. A. Farr of the Public
Utility Department of the United
Verde Company. These gentlemen
visited all wells and we understand
were accompanied by Jack Marden
of Holbrook Oil Company and Senator
Mayfeld Of the Hopi Oil Company
1t is stated that these parties will
first back the company that they con
slider has the best general prospects,
and if necessary drill a well for
themselves. They are all more OF
less financially interested in the com
panies now operating, and the field in.
general. These gentlemen were
much pleased with the progress that
has been made by the Holbrook Oil
Company and that of the Hopi Oil
Company.
We have just learned that Earl
Harbin, of South Bend, Indiana, is
now in Winslow and is much inter
ested in the oil possibilities of this
County. Earl is nephew of E
Julian Harbin, who has been here fol
the past year. Earl Hardin was ir

Recruiting in or Alabam'

A white lieutenant and colored corporal were recruiting in Alabama for a negro regiment. The corporal had proved very effective as a spiel CT, so the lieutenant had him make preliminary addresses to assemblag- es of colored people, followed by a canvass for recruits. In attendance at big barbecue given by the color ed people near Birmingham the cor poral made ready for grand after dinner speech. He mounted a big oak-stump. kicked the burrs loose. leveled it off, and tore the lid off his pent-up oratory in this fashion:
 "Ladies and Gent'men: I come out to dress you-all dis ebenin' on the subjeck ob de niggah soljah.
 "Look at him! He ain't 'fraid O NOTHIN'-but INDIANS!
 "He has reached de mos hghes' pinnacle of obscu-ity.

The greatest Olympic meet the world has ever seen will be held in paris in May or June.
 With the sanction of the French the Commander-in-chief of the A. E. F. has issued an invitation to the Fl nations associated with the United States in the war to take part in an athletic tournament unique in the an ,nals of sport.
 Not only will the coming games take first rank in importance athlet- ically, but they will further streng- then the bonds of understanding be- tween the A. E. F. and their com rades in arms, and be fitting close to the greatest military struggle of modern times. They are open to any officer or man who took part in the war.
 No financial obligation is impos- ed upon the armies of the Allies in vited to participate, as the American Army, acting as host, is prepared to pay all expenses in cooperation with the various welfare agencies operat- ing with it.
 To Use COlOmbes Stadium
 Arrangements have been made with the National Racing Club of France for the use of the COlombes Stadium. IA kilometers from Paris, the site of the 1900 Olympic games. The stadium will be placed in first class condition and, with its excellent running track and several playing fields suitable for baseball and foot ball, will be an ideal spot to hold the games. The grandstand has seat ing capacity of 10000. Dressing rooms are also available.
 It is probable that small Games Committee, selected by the Chief Athletic Officer of the American Ar my, will be the responsible agency and final authority on all matters in connection with the games. It is ex- pected that the committee will invite the various armies to designate two delegates from each to sit as an ad- visory council in giving advice and assistance in matters of selection of events, appointment of officers and other general arrangements.
 Individual prizes for the winning athletes have already been provided for and will be of artistic merit and symbolic design. It is expected that, in addition, team trophies will be presented.
 General Pershjng's Letter
 General Pershing's letter inviting the French to participate in the tour nament was as follows:
 The officers and men of the Amer ican Expeditionary Forces, being keenly appreciative of the splendid relations which exist among those who have borne arms in a great, common cause, and which, in the

WHEN DO WE EAT?"

"When do we eat?" the first ques- tion asked the American people by her returning heroes as the first big troopship steamed up the North Riv- CT bearing the van load of our brave lads from lover there," may not be as inspiring as some of the lofty ut terances brought forth by the war but it is so typically boyish and human that it will long be remem- bered.
 And who answered that question? .?
 Individual mothers could not give the first greeting to their loved ones but "the Greatest Mother in the World" was waiting in their place and provided every possible comfort, including "the eats"
 The Red Cross Canteen workers were the only people allowed on the pier, with the exception of the off cial committee, and they made good their welcome to the boys with thousands of sandwiches, sugar buns coffee or chocolate and cigarettes.
 "When do we eat"
 The boys eat whenever the Red Cross canteen meets them.

Qualifying

When William Howard Taft became president of this enterprising nation, ne was besieged by visitors from his home state, Ohio, who wanted govern ment jobs. They deserved these jobs, of course, because they were good re- publicans-but chiefly because they were born in the same common wealth with the president.
 One man with spring halt and a cast in his right eye smuggled him. self past all the guards and secre- taries and got into the private office of Mir. Taft. He asked the president to make him secretary of agriculture. MT. Taft asked some leading ques- tions, and discovered that the visitor was a sign-painter from East Liver pool-the leading sign-painter there.
 "But," said the president, "don't you know that we give jobs like that only big men?"
 "Well," responded the sign-painter, "I'll be a big man if l get the job, won't I?"-Cartoons Magazine.

 GREATEST ATHLETIC MEET OF ALL TIMES TO GLADDEN. WAR WORN PARIS IN THE SPRING

present instance, have so happily de- veloped into such deep feelings of mutual respect and admiration, are most anxious to preserve and streng- then this relationship in every way possible.
 Now that active military opera tions have ceased, they believe that nothing could be more conducive to this end than to gather, in friendly competition on the field of sport, rep resentatives of the armies of each ot the nations which have so long been associated together in the stern struggle for right.
 Accordingly, they have decided to organize an inter-Allied athletic meeting, to be held in the Colombes Stadium, Paris, during the month of May or June, 1919, in which the off cers and men of all of these armies shall be eligible to take part. i As the Commander Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces, have the honor, therefore, to invite through you as their Commander-in- Chief, the officers and men of the armies of France to participate in these contests and to express the earnest hope that many of them may do so, so that the ties of the much cherished spirit of comradeship which have sprung from the gallant joint effort of our forces on the bat. tlefeld may thus be even more close 1 ly cemented.

The killings were most attrocious and the murderer will be dealt with un- der the new law if captured.

DENIES LEAGUE WOULD
HANDICAP IRISH EFFORT

Assertions that the league OF na-
lions would handicap the effort for
Irish freedom were denied in the
Senate today by Senator Phelan of
California, democrat.
Some persons interested in the
Irish cause" he said, have objected
to article 10 because they fear 1t
would guarantee the territorial in
tegrity of the British empire. This
1t does only with respect to external
aggression Now, Irish independence
can be won either by the voluntary
act Of England. a successful revolu-
ton or the Intervention by q superior
force from the outside.
"Of these three avenues to indie
pendence the league stands in the
way of only the last. If Irish indie
pendence was won by another nation
for her-a service which some radi-
calls expected from Germany-sha
would have no reason to expect indie
pendence as a free gift.
eff an Irishman tells me that he
would put Irish independence before
the spectacle of a world bathed again
in blood. the loss again OF millions OF
lives, and the hunger. disease, priva-
lions, sufferings and torture inflicted
upon millions more. then I would say
he has forfeited generous considera-
ton by an exhibition Of unutterable
selfshness."
