Arizona Open-Air Schools.

Arizona has three open-air
schools, two at Tucson and one
at Clifton. The pupils in these
classes are those who are below

Clifton all of the pupils twelve

anemic, and nearly all of them
showed some rise in tempera-
ture. Three weeks after the
beginning of the experiment all
tempers lures were very nearly
normal and the average gain in
weight for two weeks was 3 to 8
pounds. At 10 O'Clock these pu-
ipils are given glass of fresh
milk and at 1890 simple, nour-
shing dinner is served, the chill

The Santa Fe land agent, w.
F. Talliferro, of Topeka, Kan,
appeared before the board of su-
pervisors last week to protest
against raising the valuations of
the company lands to $1.25 an
acre on the tax books. Before
making any change in the ass ess-
ment the board decided to await
the meeting of the state tax con-
ference which is to be held at
Grand Canyon next Monday. We
can see no reason in fairness why
the land of the railroad company
should not be valued at the figure
placed on it by the county asses
sor, as it is known they have re
fused larger offers for large tracts
of the land. If the railroad
does not want to pay taxes on
the valuations placed on the land
let them sell it to private indi-
viduals. Property is supposed
to be listed for taxes at its full
value.

Oil Boom Dying.


hasty exit from the community,
that was hoped would start a
wild scramble among the people
to invest in the shares of the oil
companies, on the theory that
the Windriver Company boring
a we'll knew there was oil in the
field, proved fiasco as a money
getter, and last week the jumped
claims were restored to the orig
inal claimants.
The latest move to revive in.
terest was to have one w. J. Gra-
ham, who was supposed to be the
authorized agent of the Corpo-
ration Commission, make a visit
to the field to examine the pro-
gress being made in the devel-
opment of the several wells that
have been boring for a couple of
years, and he gives out a state
ment that he is we'll pleased with
the activity manifested in the
drilling. This is supposed to
keep life in the boom until the
directors can find some other
scheme to spring on the public.
Biologists get a lot of free ad-
vertising, or lose their standing,
according to how they report on
the alleged oil field. When Ha-
ger, an eminent geologist, made
a survey of the field and passed
on the formation as favorable to
oil he was heralded on ever hand,
but later. when he wrote com
plete report and summed up his
final conclusions that there was
one chance in a hundred of sJrik-
ing oil, Mr.. Hager was no long,
er listed as a geologist by the
boomers; the same is true of Mr..
Major, another geologist who re-
fused to approve the field.
Another scheme of the stock
selling sharks to separate a man
from his money is to dwell at
length on the acreage the COM
pany is holding, as though that
was a valuable asset and securi-
ty for the money invested. Did
you ever stop to think that if you
had $100 or $1,000 invested in an
oil company that held leases on
even a million acres, that if your
money was frittered away in
salaries to the promoters and
commissions to the stock sales
men, and no we'll was developed,
that your equity in the leases on
the land was not worth a cent?
The acreage talk is to impress
you with the stability of the com.
pany, and to make the invest
ment tempting.
At the rate we'll drilling has
progressed during the past two
years in this alleged field it will
take four years more to get a
well down to the minimum depth
of $500 feet as claimed by all ge-
ologists before there will be any
prospect of oil. Not a we'll is
yet down 1000 feet, and the aver
age cost per foot, including sala-
ries of the promoters and the
stock selling agents, is about
$100. If this overhead cost con-
tinues it will take $780, 900 to put
we'll down to the minimum
to get enough oil to grease GIN
let. With all the money now
paid to the promoters, and their
positive inside information from
the log of their wells, if suckers
quit biting on shares at 10 cents
with par value of $1.0O, the oil
boomers will fade away to other
more promising fields, and would
not put in a dollar of their own
money to complete their develp-
ment.
1t is expected when a person
invests in an oil project he is
taking a gamblers chance in the
game, but he ought to be enti.

moved, back yards cleaned up and a
general renovation of all unsightly
spots effected.
Cleanliness always pays big divi-
dends in the matter of preventing sick
ness and making the town pleasing to
