GEOLOCIST VISITS OIL
PROSPECTS NEAR HERE

R. L. Keith, formerly of Snow
flake, now of Winslow, and a
noted geologist recently visited
the land holdings of John Pearce
in this section to look over the
oil prospects. While the geolo-
gist gave out no report while
here, it has since been learned
that he spoke of the country sur
rounding Snowflake as looking
"good" which m cans some
thing.
Mr.. Pearce owns thousands of
acres of land near here, some of
it in close proximity to the Brim-
hall water well, which carries
oil. He has had many flatter-
ing offers for his holdings in a
leasing way but would rather
turn it over to someone agreeing
to put in drilling machinery or,
in other words, lease it to par
ties who would develop it in
place of retaining it for specu-
lative purposes without doing
any actual work on the propert p

ties and they see fit to establish
it it will be of great conven-
ience to ranchers of the above
named places, as the proposed
line is to be a semi weekly one,

Building Of the Mesa
Clarkdale Road Will
Open Up Good Country

James S. Douglas, prominent
mining and railroad man of the
southern part of the state. has
issued statement to the effect
that as soon as the government

proper owners, which will proba-
bly, be In December of this year.
he will Immediately begin con-
struction on the Mesa-Clarkdale
railroad, plans for the construc-
tion of which were completed
before the United States entered
the war against Germany.
The Mesa -Clarkdale road is to
connect at Mesa with the Tucson,
Phoenix & Tidewater railroad.
which already has it's right-of-
way and station grounds in Phoe-
nix. This road also suspended
construction work on account of
the war.
The road will open to settle
ment and development of some
of the richest mining and agri-
cultural land in the state. Along
the route to be followed by the
road are many splendid pros
poets, both copper and other
valuable minerals, which at the
present time are inaccessible,
but which the building of the
road will open to exploitation.
The benefits to be derived by
Mesa from the building of this
stretch Of railroad, says the
Tribune, cannot be over-esti-
mated. It's construction will
make this city the natural sup
ply point for all the country be-
tween Mesa and Prescott, and,
once the road is in operation, it
will be but a short time until
this section is well settled and a
considerable number of mining
properties opened up.

endangering the lives Of those
who ride over the track. The
wide-awake boys of Snowflake

Capper Anent the PreSi-
dents Prohibition Move

mo more delicate task is given
any man than to interpret the
feelings and purposes of a great
people-to be the true interpre-
ter of a national spirit express
ing no private and peculiar view,
but the general spirit of the ma
ton; and a nation looks to its
President to do that" sal d
President Wilson in a Paris
speech this week.
Then how about recommend
ing that Congress repeal ma
tional prohibition when h e
homes and the people of 45 of
the 48 states, proceeding as pro-
vided for in the Constitution,
have declared within IL months
instead of within Z years, not
only that they wished a bone
dry nation, but that they wanted
national prohibition incorporated
in the Constitution of their Gov
ernment?
How does the President in
terpret the feelings and pur-
poses of a great people" who
have done that, when he recon-
mends t h a t Congress repeal
what they have asked for so un-
mistakably from their lawmakers
in that same Congress?
While the President has been
back-tracking on prohibition the
biggest state in the Union
Texas has gone for prohibition
and woman suffrage, and $500
dram shops have closed their
doors in Ohio, including the big
gest saloon in the world. The
same week the Presidents rec
ommendation to exempt wines
and beers was made to Congress,
the town of Gordonville, Mo-,
because of the near approach Of
national prohibition, voted its
calaboose unnecessary and sold
it for $50. In that town and in
nine-tenths of all the little towns
thruout the United States no
booze means no calabooze.
One would think, knowing
what President Wilson m u t
know about public sentiment in
the United States and the un-
questioned and widely demon
strated proof Of the success of
prohibition in any number of
communities and in many states,
that whether he himself, was or
was not a prohibitionist at heart,
that he must concede it's great
blessings and benefits far over
shadow all other considerations,
and therefore be in doubt what
ever that it was his official duty
to speed it along.
That President Wilson has not
done this, that it was only under
the strongest compulsion after
