HOW THE GOVERNMENT WAS
RORRFD

Our readers will be delighted to
learn that the Standard Oil com
pany is doing well. Duting the last
seven years, according to its own
statement, it has earned $454,589,-
139; has paid out in dividends $177,-
008, 8,940, and has piled up more than
a billion in reserve cash.
You ask yourself, Glow did the
share owners have enough self-con-
troll to leave 50 much money in the
company instead of taking it out in
dividends?" And you answer, "Per-
haps they thought it wiser to post
pone the dividend distribution until
well after the war, when the income
tax shall have gone down." If the
billion of reserves had been distrib-
uted to stockholders while the war
was on, the government would have
taken about seven hundred millions
Of the money in taxes. You can
readily understand what good busi-
ness men the Standard Oil people
are.

WICKENBURG OIL ERA
Evidence That Oil
Exists Here


'Dos" Bowsher of Kellis, Mont
gomery & Bowsher, realty dealers
and oil promoters Of this city, went
to Prescott Wednesday, accompanied
by G.. w. NARROW, Of the Flores Oil
company from Phoenix 1t is under
stood that a united oil mems effort
will be made in furtherance of i'm
mediate development of what may
reasonably be expected to turn out
one of the largest oil fields in the
United States.
The tract of oil lands represented
by these two men cover an area
many miles square, all tributary to
Wickenburg and includes a complete
anticline, closed in on three sides
conforming to a complete oil struc-
ture. Careful geological observations
have confirmed this zone as an ideal
one for oil possibilities equal to, if
not, greater than the famous oil
fields of Mexico
One well-known engineer Of oil
experience expresses the opinion that
the whole Wickenburg district ex-
tending westerly from Hot Springs
to the Colorado river, overspreads
riches in oil lying at depth of
2,10O to 2,700 feet. To prove this
a comprehensive drilling campaign is
to be made to test the lands held by
the Flores and Home Oil companies,
and the mission to Prescott is to
for a thorough test Of the
land held by the two companies. The
outcome may be the neucleus for .
great oil PRODUCING cOmDanv amnlv
financed and able to carry out the
plans already formed to completion.
If oil predictions are realized, it
will be of value to estimate the
potentialities of this zone, which up
to now has been considered only fit
for deselt ranges, where during

LOST ON THE YUMA DESERT

Searching parties from the New
King of Arizona and the North Star
mines have been securing the desert
i'll the northeastern section of Yuma
county since last Tuesday looking
for August Grski,. a prospector, who
has been missing since August 18,
when he left Polamas in his auto
mobile with a. supply Of provisions
and started for the New King of
Arizona mine. His auto was found
broken on the highway 80 miles east
of the mine
The searching party followed
Grski's tracks back over the high
way to within three miles of the
New King mine. Here they found
the shoes, hat, belt, pipe and canteen
of the missing man. His tracks were
followed for a short distance from
that place over the desert and then
lost. The parties have continued the
search, but no trace of Grski has
been found.
It is believed that Grski became
crazed from thirst and the heat and
has wandered into the desert and
died and his body lies buried under
the shifting sands Yuma Sun.

TRUCK GARDENING SHOWS A
PROFIT

A. J. Kellis, who raises mammoth
pumpkins and other garden truck
quite successfully around here, is
authority backed by innumerable
residents of Wickenburg and vicin-
ity, that truck gardening anywhere
near this vicinity can be made very
profitable; so the fellow who can't
find chance to get in on the oil
boom may brush up a bit on truck
farming. The editor of The State
Miner, in a small way has raised
water melons and cantaloupes by
seeds taken from this years crop
and bought right here in aWicken-
burg. Potatoes, cabbage, beets, and
most all garden produce can be cul7
tivated successfully right here at
home without going to Phoenix or
Los Angeles for such eatables.

tance is short and soon over. Like
Mr.. Shannon, most all travellers
agree that the Wickenburg, Wenden,
Blythe and Mecca is the only road
for a highway Even if the state
and federal road commission decides
70 build the route via Buckeye and
Grla Bend, most of the travelling
public will eventually come via this
route and it is oply a matter of
time that the popular route to and
from California will be through this
city when coming from points east
and south

WICKENBURG OIL LANDS IN
DEMAND

A steady accumulation of oil lands
in and about this locality has been
going on for some time KelIis,
Montgomery & Bowsher are having
calls nearly every few days from
people interested in reaping the
benefit of new discoveries in oil ana
its potential possibilities. The big
movement has started and because
oil shows the largest and moss
profitable returns of any invest
ments, with a minimum of risk, the
demand is bound to increase. Most
Of the new capital at present is
from Phoenix where the Flores COM
pany have started the ball a-rolling;
but there are others from different
states, especially California, who are
stimulating. research of oil because
of the desperately low and acute
demand for this product because of
the shortage forecast by new and
increased industrial activity.
According to predictions of know
ing ones in the business, the Wick
enburg oil zone enjoys the distinction
of being the most popular of any OF
the western untried and undeveloped
fields. There is an air of confidence
apparent among local promoters that
-insures belief in successful promo
ton.
The Wickenburg field is strongly
recommended for the promotion of
small home companies that will
foster the enterprises by insuring
investors that their money will be
honestly expended for development
work in an endeavor to reach the
oil sands that means so much to
the future Of the state as we'll as
profits to the successful promoters
should they be fortunate enough to
strike the coveted product. Only a
short time will elapse before other
and larger financed concerns will be
seeking entry into the new field in
an endeavor to acquire and corner"
choice locations by getting pick Of
the lands adjacent to the transpor-
tation routes and main arteries Of
travel and traffic.

1t now looks like the proposal of
the city of Phoenix to bring in
carload of surplus army food for the
poor classes, was only an adroit move
to prevent the local public from get
ting their supplies from Uncle Sam

The German Ambassador

Apnbancement that DR.. Won Hahn
haQsen has been selected as the German
ambassador at Washington is especially
interesting at this capital, inasmuch
4s he was attached to the German en-
:bassy here just before the break Of
relations. He was. therefore, a men,
ber of that official organization Of
German representation that fell under
suspicion of being engaged in course
of unfriendly conduct under the cloak
OF diplomatic immunity, which at times
was worn extremely thin. Whether

persona non grata by this government
will not turn upon his personal char
acter or eonductS but upon the matter
OF bis completely in or approval of the
various acts of propaganda and es-

Admittedly it will be difficult for
ethe new German government to find
men capable of conducting diplomatic
assignments without drawing upon the
personnel of the former corps, if the
old standards of capacity held at Ber
lin are maintained. And this will nee
.sssarily involve many consideration.

The Presidents Tour.

The President ON his journey will
lay the peace treaty, with his explana-
tons. before the people, and take their
judgment
This journey was projected with the
treaty solely in view. But since then
the railroad question and tie question
OF the high cost of living have become
acute, and the people today are dis
cussing both. What more likely, there
fore, than that the President on his
long trip will hear great deal about
both. and return home with large
fund of valuable information gathered
from those intimately acquainted with
both?
The railroad question in particular
should yield important suggestions.
The Pres dent will be on wheels for
many days. traversing sections that
have been developed and populated by
railroads. and which are dependent on
them for continued prosperity. In the
near west and the far west railroad
transportation is vital, and has been
studied in all of its practical aspects.
Hence the value OF suggestions that
will come from that quarter.
On his trip the President will meet
truly representative men. Only such
will be chosen to greet and entertain
him. Politicians, members of the
learned professions, business men,
leaders of labor will compose commit
tees that will have his interests in
charge; and from them he is certain
to get an insight into public sentiment
in the localities ne visits.
In this way the President while alb
sent from Washington will both i'm
part and receive information. There
will be an exchange of views between
him and the people. If he gives to
them facts and views about the peace
treaty, and what in his Judgment it
will do for the world, they will give to
him facts and views about transporta
tion,, and about how the present cost
of living is bearing upon all. matters Of
everyday life.
