Nobody in the world is going to

England's First Christian
 King.

The first Christian king of Eng land was St. Ethelbert, king of Kent. Ethelbert reigned over Kent from 560 to 616, and he also held imperial sway over the other Saxon monarchs as far north as the banks of the Humber. Like all his predecessors on English thrones he was pagan. To increase his power he married Bertha, daugh- ter of the king of Paris. His queen was a christian, and she brought with her to England French bishop, who held services for the benefit of Bertha and her attendants in a small build ing near Canterbury. King Ethelbert was not very favorably impressed with his wife's new-fangled religion and preferred that of his fathers until an Italian missionary, St. Augustine, arrived in England. The king and his stalwart pagan warriors gave hear ty greeting to the missionary, and Augustine soon convinced the Ken tish king that Christianity was an inn provement over the old faith. Ethel bert was duly baptized and the lesser chiefs and common people soon fol- lowed his example. So great was the eagerness of the people to embrace the religion of Christ that on one day 10000 people were baptized.

 The death of Francis w. Hayes, a young geologist of high standing, which occurred here last week brought out the fact, until then unknown, that he was representing subsidiary of the Royal Dutch-Shell company, one of the worlds greatest petroleum pro- ducers. As is usual with the repres- entatives of the big fellows when ex- amining field, he gave out no in- formation as to whom he was repres- epting or whether the company had already secured ground on which to drill. But the mere fact of his being sent here is proof that the big fellows believe that the possibilities of the Holbrook area are big enough for the biggest of them.
 Chas, T. Fertig, capitalist of Col orado Springs, whose first visit to Holbrook was made in the company of Bob Adams in January, returned here again on Monday. MT. Fertig has kept in close touch with develop ments since his first visit and has some important deals under consider ation.
 Secretary Hennessy is quite elated over the progress which is being made on the Adamana we'll since the softer formation was entered. He says that not only much greater footage has been made in the last few days, but the indications for oil are growing better daily.

NEWS LETTER FROM } HOLBROOk SECTION
By JAlGES F. oD1IEN, Asst-Sscy. Chamber of Commerce.

Holbrook, Ariz., April 4-The most convincing, if not flattering, indorse- ment received by any field in its pre- production period, according to many oil men, was given a few days ago when the Wind River Producing and Refining company, one of the strong est companies operating in the Wy oming field, submitted an offer to the pioneer company of the Holbrook field the Hopi Oil Company for the de- velopment of portion of the latter's immense acreage here.
 As the papers have not been sign ed yet, the full details have not been given out for publication, but it is said that the contract calls for com pleting the we'll which was being drill ed on what is practically 50-50 basis and the drilling of other wells on a 66-33 basis.
 It is seldom that royalty of more than one-eighth is ever given in an unproven field, and a 50-50 contract is about the best that can be asked in the proven fields of big production and few dry holes.
 The Holbrook structure has been for months under investigation by the Wind River Producing and Refining company's geologists and drilling ex- perts, according to a story from the main office. and it was on their advice that the large acreage was taken over.
 It is rather significant that all though the same story calls attention to the company's purchase of an S5- acre tract in the phenomenal Burk- burnett field-where big wells are common and failures almost unknown as we'll as to their big drilling cam paign in the Lander (Wyo.) field, the major portion of the article is devot- ed to the Holbrook field. The portion of the story regarding Holbrook con- -cludes with the following: "The structure is an unusually large one, IA by eight miles approximately, and geologists say it is perfect in all it's details"

OLD BATTERY TERMINALS

The cable terminals of old storage batteries frequently slip into the bat tery connector so far that the cap screw does not draw the connection to tight fit. This results in high re- sistance and Eventually prevents enough current getting across from the battery to start the engine. If lead foil is wrapped around the cable terminal when it fits the battery con- hector a really tight fit will be the result.

Tourists visit historic rock in Goodchtired automobile

A party of tourists doing Arizona with the assistance of the Goodrich tour books stopped at the "Hole in the Rock" and this is the story told them by one of the old-timers:
 With relentless brilliance the sun streamed out of cloudless sky. A prospector, rife in hand, stalked across the cactus-dotted desert. Eyes and ears alert, he scanned the shim- mering horizon until his gaze rested on great rock. He paused and lis tened intently.
 Again came the unmistakable call of wild turkey. The desert man ad. vanced cautiously. He. was certain the cry had come from the direction of the great mound.
 Suddenly, he threw up his hands and pitched forward as the report of a rife echoed faintly from the rock. No. person witnessed this tragedy of the desert, and in time, the drifting

desert sand built a tomb about the victims body.
 Legend has it that numerous sim liar tragedies occurred near the "Hole in the Rock" White men were wiped out singly and in patches, and it was long before the mystery of the "Hole in the Rock" was solved.
 Before the Indians and the white pioneers buried the hatchet, the red men secreted themselves inside the shell-shaped hole in wait for casual parties of settlers and lone prospect ors. Knowing that the white men were always on the alert for fowl and game, the aborigines initiated the call of the wild turkey, and when the frontiersmen came within range, the Indians picked them off.

THERE is NO INDICATION OF
BUILDING LET Up IN PENDLETON

The past week has been quiet in the
number of building permits issued.
This is by no means an indication of IA
let up in building operations. how
ever, as there are many new things
pointing toward what seems to reach
proportions of a building boom for
Pendleton. Work has been started in
the remodeling of the Miller building
for the Inland Empire Bank. This
will be completed sometime in May.
The cost of the Improvement will be
approximately $4,000.
Announcement was made yesterday
by the Standard Oil Col. of the build
ing of new distributing plant in
PendIeton. This work will call for
several new buildings with the INSTALL
ing of new and large storage tanks.
The expenditure in the Improvement
will approximate 5000.
G. I. LaDow contractor for the
building of the Pruitt building at the
corner of Garden and Court streets
has his work well under way. The
frames for the concrete walls of the
building are being erected, and Mr.
LaDow expects to start the concrete
work in about 10 days. This new
building puts business house one
block farther west on Court street.
