STATE TEST OIL WELL.

Pierre, June l5-As the time for the
proaches there is more or less discus
sion of an appropriation which will
allow the state to sink test well for oil
on state lands at some point No doubt
this test could better be stood by the
people of state than individuals, but the
last legislative session enacted permit
provision for testing oil possibilities on
state lands, and license feature for
handling the product if oil is found in
paying quantities. Such license permits
do not in any way affect the leasing
privileges of the surface of the land for
agricultural and grazing purposes. Un-
der this law, when y permit is granted
those securing it have year in which
to put down test well and if oil is dis
covered in paying quantities the state
grants FIVE year permit to the company
making the test on a basis of twelve and
one-half per cent of the product and a
dollar an acre per year on the tract re-
qured. Under this provision the state
land department has granted nine per-
mits for test wells, of which seven are
in Fall River county, one in Custer
county and one in Hughes county.
Under the requirement tests must be
made within year, and if oil is dis
covered the state will draw its share for
revenue from the wells and tests in
these cases would no doubt be certain
as to results.

Warren q. Harding, United States
Senator from Ohio, was born on Novem-
Der 2, 1865, at Blooming Grove, Ohio.
He was the eldest of eight children,
some of whom have achieved more than
ordinary distinction.
The Hardings are of good old Colonial
stock, coming originally from Scotland,
settling first in Connecticut, and remov.
ing later to the Wyoming Valley, Pa,
where some of them were massacred
and others fought in the Revolutionary
War.
The country round about was mostly
woodland when Warren was born, and
as he grew up he learned to fell the
trees, chop wood, split rails, and do
everything incident to farm life when
crops were raised between roots and
stumps.
He attended the village school until
fourteen years of age, when he entered
the Ohio Central College of Iberia, from
which he was graduated, standing high
in scholarship; and it was there, as edi-
tor of the college paper, that he first
showed talent for journalism. Like
most aspiring young men of that age, he
was Obliged to stop for time now and
then end earn money with which to
pursue his college course.
At odd times he worked in the little
printing office in the village. He SEEM
ed to love the odor of printers ink and
to have a passion for everything per-
tanning to newspaper Office, even down
equipment. He became an expert type
setter by hand, and when the linotype
was first introduced he learned to oper-
ate the machine. He is practical press
man and job printer, and as makeup
man has few equals. The luck piece"
he carries as Senator of the United
States is the old printers rule he used
when he was yet sticking type"
When he was nineteen, having finish
ed his college course, his father moved
to Marion, Ohio. The Marion "Star',
was struggling daily in struggling
county seat town. Young Harding
yearned to possess it, and his father lent
his credit in assisting him in taking it
over. He lived with it by day and he
dreamed of it by night. 1t grew and ex-
panded, and today could not be purchas-
ed at any price.
Mr. Harding is closely identified with
many large business enterprises. He is
at present director of bank, director
of several large manufacturing plants,
and is also trustee of the Trinity Bap-
tist church, of which he is a member.
He was twice member of the Ohio leg
islature; served one term as lieutenant
governor, and is now nearing the close
of his term as United States Senator
from Ohio.
He has ever the courage of his con-
victions; was in the high regard OF
Roosevelt; is not easily swayed by clam

or or passionate appeal, and is capable
of exercising deliberate judgment even
amid the turmoil of bitter, partisan
strife. The important work which he
has done on the Committee on Foreign
Relations and other committees OF hich
he is member, has brought him in
close touch with the great questions,
both foreign and domestic, with which
the next Administration will have to
deal.

Dangerous Pair Caught.

A pair of wolves ranged on the noun
tains above Wolf creek, causing much
lamage to livestock. The female had
been trapped and had only two toes on
enc front paw, This deformity made
her tracks distinctive and ranchers who
live in that vicinity affirm that she had
run there for more than fifteen years
Last spring Williams set ont to get the
pair. He followed them for weeks and
finally succeeded in running the dog of
the mountain and he was shot by boy
who happened to be hunting in the
vicinity. A few days later be killed the
female.

G--C00LIDGE
Are Candidates of the Republican Party
Senator From Ohio Nominated on
the Tenth Ballot,

Chicago, June l4.-Warren G. Hard
ing, United States Senator from Ohio,
was nominated for the presidency Satur-
day evening by the Republican National
Convention after deadlock which last
ed for nine ballots, which finally forced
out of running all of the original favor
ties. As his running mate the conyen-
ton named Governor Calvin Coolidge,
of Massachusetts, upsetting the plan Of
combination of the Harding hackers to
nominate for that place Senator Irvine
l.. Lenroot, of Wisconsin. The collapse
of the forces Of Governor Lowden, and
their transfer in part to Harding put the
Ohio candidate over Wood lost heav-
lily, however, when the Harding drift
began, and Johnson the third of the
trio of leaders on early balloting, also
went steadily down hill.
At the Enc of the Ninth.
Lowden at the end of the ninth ballot
had l2l votes; Woods strength had faI-
len to 249, and Johnson dropped to 50.
AS the tenth roll call begun the dele
gates quit Lowden, Wood and Johnson
right and left, and the big hall was in
continuous uproar of applause. Penn
sylyania added to the crowning Of such
enthusiasm. When Pennsy ylYania was
reached Harding needed 3D. Pennsyl.
vania gave him 80, when Sproul him
self, candidate on each preceding ballot,
and mentioned as a possible dark horse
to break the deadlock, announced the
big Pennsylvania vote. A demonstra
ton for several minutes followed, the
spectators standing and cheering. The
final check up showed 692 for Harding,
with only y left supporting Lowden,
l57 for Wood and 50 for Johnson. The
motion to make the nomination unani-
nous met with several noes from Wis
consin.
The name of Coolidge for vice presi-
dency stirred the delegates in the gal
leries to repeat their cheering. He was
swept to second place before roll call had
gone two-thirds it length, and again
Pennsylvania furnished the winning
vote.

OFFICIAL GOVERN
MENT "WOBFER."


II costs 81 900 year to keep an adult
wolf in a well nourished condition on a
diet of fresh beef That is the amount
government experts, in charge of the
destruction of predatory animals, say is
the livestock loss that an adult wolf will
cause in year. On that basis, II. P.
Williams, expert wolfer for the govern
ment, who has his home in Sheridan,
has earned $50, 900 during the last three
years for he has killed SO wolves in that
time.
Before he became official wolfer for
the government, he was hunting for
bounties and since 1900, according to
the official records, he has bagged more
than 100 wolves, ten mountain lions
aud three bear. In addition it is esti-
mated that he has killed 1900 coyotes
and POO bobcats Before he went to
| work for the government on salary
Williams had collected more than S, 900
in bounties.
But the official records do not deal
with the romance of Williams career
and one would not get much of a story,
talking to him. lie is true son of the
open, quiet and unassuming, given to
doing and not talking.
To get the real story one must talk to
his friends, cattemen whose herds he
has saved from the grey, gaunt devas-
tating terror of the rangeland, the Dol.
sheviki Of the animal world.
Trailed to Lair.
They will tell you the stories of how
he hunted down old crafty wolves that
for years had deiied trappers, stayed
away from poison bait, and always kept
At least one hill between them and the
ordinary hunters.
Williams is a crack shot with the rife.
One day he sighted wolf almost mile
away and drew down on him and killed
him the first shot.
Another time he had spent days stalk
ng a crafty old she wolf in the rough
country on Powder river. His quarry
evaded him day after day, then one
evening he suddenly came upon her
with two half grown whelps by her side.
Williams was out of the saddle in jifIy
aud whipping his rife from the scab-
bard, shot the three before they coHld
escape.

AP ACHE TRAIL TOURISTS NOT
 TO COME HERE
New Route Eliminates Phoe- nix from Famous Tourist Trip on Account of Con- dition of Part of Road

Thousands of tourists will be lost to Phoenix as the result of an order made yesterday by the state corporation commission authorizing excursion tickets for the Roosevelt dam and Apache Trail trip from Bowie through Globe to Roosevelt, and back to Bowie thus cutting this city out of the Apache trail trip, which has brought travellers from all parts of the world to this section. Hitherto tourists making the Apache trail have been routed from Bowie to Globe and Roosevelt, and. then into Phoenix over the trail
 The order was made on the applica- ton of E. J. F'enchurch general freight and passenger agent of the Arizona Eastern, and the traffic will be handled by the Arizona Eastern and the Union Auto Stage company. The change of route will be effective October A. and was made because of the condition of the highway between Mesa to the Roosevelt dam
 Tt is neither safe nor comfortable to route passengers over the road now in use, declared Commissioner F. A Jones, who believes the action of the commission will make the people real ize the necessity of fixing the road.
 The people will wake up after a while, he said in speaking with re- gret of the loss to this city of the vast number of tourists who annually make
 
 While there have been innumerab1e complaints as to the condition of the road to the dam, the drastic action of the corporation commission was some what unexpected. That it will be nec- essary to take steps to place the high way in condition so as not to be com pletely cut off the route is the general belief, but it yet remains to be seen who will repair the road, originally constructed by the Water Users asso citation. It was built during the con- struction of the dam in order to haul the construction material to Roosevelt A portion of the road from Mesa to the Pinal county line was later main tained by the Maricopa county board of supervisors, while the remaining 2 portion still belongs to the Water Users association. In addition to the four and a half million dollar bond issue for this county it was planned to include an appropriation for the re- construction of the highway.

GRASS ON RANGES
 IN GOOD CONDITION

Grass on the major range sections of Arizona and New Mexico has been put in excellent condition for winter by the drying weather of the past week according to information received at the weather bureau office. No rain has fallen in any part Of the district and while a considerable amount of water has disappeared through evaporation there is still a sufficiency for the use of stock in tanks and water holes. Con- tinued absence of rain in Cochise county has affected ranges adversely but thus far the condition of stock has not been seriously affected Roundups are in progress over the 'northeastern section and the stock gathered are gen. orally good to prime.
 Favorable conditions attended the harvesting of potatoes, wheat and oats are now well under way in the dry land sections of the state. Owing to lack of moisture at a critical period these crops have been greatly re- duced, but the quality Is generally good. Much of the oats has been cut for grain hay. it did not mature sufficiently for threshing Cotton picking made good progress during the, week, but owing to the low night tenn peratures. the development of late planted cotton was not entirely satis- factory. Cotton planted at a normal period this spring fruited and opened earlier and more heavily than last spring. thus makiGg the present sea son, with it's early and late planted cotton and resultant irregular ripening approximately an average season. Fa- Vorable reports as to the progress of picking have been. received from the Parker and Yuma sections where labor is plentiful and weather conditions good.
