HOLBROOK OIL FIELD OCCUPIES ATTENTION
 OF THE OIL WORLD

here many days after having made previous investigation.
 New companies are being formed and in prospect and scouts of many large inter ests are continually fitting in and out. Details of the efforts of the big interests are of course difficult to as- certain, but there is no doubt of their extreme interest and evident intent to get in on Holbrook.
 From the interest apparent it would seem that the local confidence in the productive ness of this field is shared by the largest interests in the oil world. There is no ques- ton but that the Holbrook Oil Field is considered the next big excitement as an oil producer.

 The erection of a rig is of prime interest and spudding in places spectacIes on our imagin- ation; the first string of casing is an event and the nearing of the oil sands get us set for the starters gun. but between all these items the simple word drilling" is in itself a matter to bolster the expectations of the least optomistic.

 About the game last Sun day-we're neutral we are, and to avoid slurs and nasty aspersions we are not going to tellyouwhat the scorewas. The excitement was intense throughout the game how ever and the big crowd en- joyed the afternoon circus. In the first place the Petro- leums submarined the Hol- brooks who in turn came back with a flock of ariel torpedoes. The barrage o1 both sides was intense at all times, trench motars hand grenades and seventy fives aiding the small arm fusi- Jade. Both sides finally rar out of ammunition and the carnage ended eventually. Red Cross workers have beer busy during the week repair ing the damage.

OF INTEREST TO
 TELEPHONE USERS


 The News is in receipt of the following communication relative to telephone situation under date of Washington, D. C., May 19. 1919:
 To THE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE
 AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTA-
 TIvES:
 On midnight July 31, 1918. under the authority of Congress for war purposes. the President took supervision, possession. con- trol and operation of the tele- phone systems of the country and has since operated them. The war has practically ceased. The public press is strongly de- handing. the general public and the owners of the telephone properties are urging, that they be returned as speedily as pos sible, that former conditions may be restored and more satisfact- ory service be afforded. The President and the Postmaster General have announced that this will be done as soon as adequate arrangements be provided for re- celYing and advantageously oper- ating them. It remains only for Congress to enact such legisla- tion as speedily as possible.
 The expenses of these systems have largely increased during the past year, for wages alone at the rate of more than $20. 900, : I000 per annum. This was in eyitable and necessary by req son of larger proportional in- creases by the railroads and in- dustries of the country. The revenues are inadequate to care for such increases, and the de- felt of the government on that account to date is large and steadily increasing. The Post master General ordered that steps be taken to secure ade- quate revenues, but contentious with the regulatory authorities of the states. not yet settled, have prevented such adjust ments.
 If such conditions continue, necessarily the credit of the op- erating companies will be im- paired. proper expenses cannot be met. the best operating forces cannot be retained, needed ex- tensions and satisfactory service cannot be provided. A deterior- ation will ensue which in some localities may threaten recur- renee to public ownership or operation in order to care, even inadequately, for public needs. By prompt action Congress can prevent this contingency.
 Just and speedy settlements should be made for all properties taken under the existing law. that such balances now in the possession of the government may be restored to assist in the upbuilding and extension of the various systems for better pub

In reading the field notes the public should bear in mind that in the case of companies drilling there are but one or two major items in the nature of operations that can be looked for. aside from the regular state ment of progress being made or retarded. Well drilling is a pro- saic proposition and pounding through conglomerate and sand stone furnishes very few thrills.
