OIL IN ARIZONA

The report striking of oil at Bowie will do much to stiffen the courage of the
 explorers of other fields and
 to spur them to increased
 efforts. This discovery is
 the first completely verified
 Strike in the state, and
 further news from t h e
 Bowie field will be watched
 for with great and general
 interest. If memory is not at fault, the existence of oil in that section was suspect ed a good many years ago and a well was actually be- e gun near the present rail- road station, being abandon ed after some little depth had been attained.
 The news from Holbrook field is anything but dis couraging, and it were a bold man who would say that Arizona will not yet add to her mineral resourc- es the much needed and valuable petroleum. It is imn0sSihle to estimate the benefits that would follow such a discovery, benefits that would be felt in every line of industry in the state.
 A feature of the present search for oil is that there is none of the straight stock selling without real at- tempts at drilling t h a t characterized some of the earlier attempts at Chino Valley and elsewhere. The people who have invested in Holbrook stocks, for ex- ample, are getting a square run for their money. If they lose, they will have the of knowing that their money was spent in an honest effort to make good, and if they win, their winn- ings will be on a generous scale.
 Anyone who invests in companies operating in wild cat fields, that is, in new and undeveloped fl elds, takes the long risk for the sake of the long reward that attends success. The dis covery at Bowie goes a long way towards taking other Arizona fields out of the .wildcat class. for it must be remembered that some of the most distinguished oil geologists of the country have endorsed the possibilii- ties of the fields in the neighborhood of Holbrook. Many of us in the Verde dis trict have seen fit to take a little flyer in Navajo county prospects, and we may at least hope that be- fore long we will have a se- cond Desdemona somewhere in the state. -(vERDE COPPER NEWs.)

WOMAN'S ROOSEVELT
 MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION

The Woman's Roosevelt M em orial association, through it's Arizona organiz- ation, is selecting a commit tee of 100 women from all over the state so that the work of raising $2000, Ari- zona's quota, may be put through without delay. The committee has already, or soon will have, members in every county in the state, Mrs. T. L. B. Alexander, state secretary, announced today.
 Bronze buttons of Roose- welt will be given all doners to the fund and their names will be inscribed in the Book of Doners" which will be kept as a treasure in the birthplace homestead of Theodore Roosevelt, 26 East Twentieth street, New York City. The Woman's Roose- velt memorial association has for it's object the restor- ation of the old house and the placing therein of the family heirlooms, and mak- ing of the house a repository of records and other inti- mate remembrances of the great patriot, in order that the house may be visited by all who loved him and by those who would study the influence which shaped his career.
 As explained, the house is to be a living influence, with a circulating library containing all the writings of Roosevelt, and many other books on travel, histo- ", and the lives of great men. The birthplace and the house adjoining have al- re a d y b e e n purchased. These two buildings will be thrown together and will form what will be known as Roosevelt House..
