FAIRBANKS CAMP
 READY ABOUT FIST

The advance guard of four, with material, props, and plans of the Douglas Fairbanks company arrived in town the first of the week and immediately started ar arrangements for the camp to be erected on the first mesa north of town. MT. l.. l.. Baxter is in charge of the preliminary arrangements and so far has started seven teen teams hauling lumber to the camp site. About a carload of lumber mas been secured and the Hall Lum- Der Co. had to work night and day to get the order ready and keep the teams going.
 The immense amount of supplies which will be re- quired are being arranged for through L. B. Carron of Babbitt company.
 MT. Baxter states there will be erected some 42 tent houses to accommodate some 40 to 60 people who will ar rive immediately the camp is ready. Owing to the bad condition of the roads ar engagements are not progress sing as rapidly as under more favorable circumstances. A good estimate of the time when camp will be ready places it's occupation by the movie people about February 21st.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY

Tuesday morning about 4:30 a. III. the burglar alarm of the Holbrook State Bank began ringing at a great rate and upon arrival by MT. Ely at the bank it was discovered that the dial on one of the doors had been apparently tempered with. While the caller left no traces of his call beyond the dial being turned past a dead number it was very apparent some one had tempered with the vault door, for if the dial had been found as the em- ployees had left it the alarm would have sounded at 10 or II o'clock in the night in- stead of five in the morning, due to the alarm being con- trolled by a clock which makes a night space of eight hours during which time the vault doors cannot be opened or tempered with in any way without turning in an alarm.
 At that time it was a very simple matter for anyone to enter the bank prop e. r through the cellar which has since been securely bolted.

BAD ROADS HAMPER
 HOLBROOK COMPANY

Superintendent Hastings of the Holbrook Oil com pany, made a flying visit to Holbrook during the week and states that the big drill is working at all times the weather permits. Indicae tions in the field are to the effect that another day of the present weather will make the roads over the dobe flat near the well passable for the water truck and much better headway will then be made. This is one of the obstacles encountered in a pioneer field that cannot be avoided, but advantage is being taken of every day that can be utilized for drill ing. Now that the winter weather is practically over there should be much less delay than has been encount- cred during the past two months.

OF HOPT
 UNDER NEGOTIATION

Conditions relative to the further operations of the Hopi Oil company have not been fully disclosed by the management of that organ ization. However, it is com mon knowledge that Senator Mayfield states positively he has the promised financial support of three large oper- ating companies who, upon the completion of satisfact- ory negotiations, will com plete the Hopi hole to a depth of at least 5000 feet.
 The same interests we un- derstand have taken over the drilling of the Adamana well.
 Senator M ayfi cid an nounces that deals for other acreage held by another hold ing company are now under way and that a satisfactory conclusion of negotiations in this respect will insure the greatest activity the field has ever seen.
 The mere fact that large interests are willing to un- dertake development on a large scale is naturally some criterion of the confidence felt in the ultimate outcome.

THE CATTLE AND SHEEP MARKET

The Kansas City stock yards report of Feb. g says:
 Receipts today were 12,- 900 cattle, II, ,000 hogs, H. 900 sheep, compared with 20, 900 cattle. 11,000 hogs, and 7,500 sheep a week ago, and 16, 150 cattle, 23, 150 hogs and 5000 sheep a year ago.
 Though cattle receipts were materially smaller than a week ago, there was no re- bound in the market. Chi cago reported lower prices, and here trade held steady to strong. Quality of the offerings was much the same as last week with the bulk of the steers selling at $11. 50 to SIS top $13.75. Some com mon killing steers bought $10 to $10.50. Butcher cat tie were steady, exceptions stronger, bulls steady and veal calves strong to 25 cents higher. Veal calves sold up to $16.
 Prices for best sheep and lambs were strong to 15 cents higher, and palmer kinds were steady. Lambs sold up to $19.65. Receipts were fairly liberal, but a good clearance was reported. Most of the lambs sold at S19 to $16. 50 and ewes $11. 50 to SIP. .25. There is much better demand for mutton and lamb than for beef or pork.

MARY PICKFORD IN
 THE HOODLUM''

A comedy-romance with accent on the comedy is ."The Heodlum," Mary Pickford's second production from her own studios, which will be shown at the Pastime the atre Sunday, February 2.
 As Amy Burke, overburd- ened with money and luxury as a granddaughter of the millionaire Alexander Guth- rie, Miss Pickford's station inlife suddenly switches to that of the tenements where she is temporarily located with her father while he writes a book on sociology.
 Acquiring the knack of be- coming a rowdy comes easy for Miss Pickford. In a few weeks she has developed a BOWery walk Of acute sWag- ger, an assortment of cloth ing which makesall the nifty Creighen street girls wild with envy, and a knowledge of slang that would make her Fifth Avenue tutor weep.
 Among Amy's acquaint- ances in the tenements are Dish Lowry, a little chap with snaggle teeth and in- grown manners, and Peter Cooper, an old man who serves as the connecting link that brings the Burke family together in one happy as- sembly.

OIL LAND LEASING
 BILL PASSED

The Oil Land Leasing Bill, which has been such a bone of contention in congress for many months, has at last been passed and sent to the president for signature.
 This bill is of peculiar in- terest to Holbrook and many different versions of it's pro- visions and effect can be heard. Inasmuch as the text of the bill as finally passed is not at hand and no opportunity has been had to study it, comment as to its provisions now would pos sibly be premature.
 It would seem, however, that all land located since 1909 would come under the provisions of this act, the locators having prior right for a lease from the govern ment. Land located in 1918 and 1919, however, would seem to be unaffected as to material requirements pro- Vided it has been exempted as required by the act of Congress of November last, the exemption of annual labor placing this land in a particularly favorable situa- ton.
 We hope to obtain a copy of the bill as finally passed and expect to have definite announcement as to condi- tions and effect the passage of this bill will have and make.

the promises of lower prices for oil, raised by these new oil fields, has not b e e n realized. This is simply be- cause the new demands that arise over night constantly outrun the new supplies. If new fields all over the world should this year give assur- ance that the oil supply would be doubled the auto mobile industry of all coun- tries would at once prepare to double next years auto output. Already some rail roads which changed their locomotives from coal to oil burners have been compelled by the rising price of oil to change back to coal. Already more oil-burning ships are being built than there is oil in sight to supply.
 We have distinctly entered upon the oil age and the war between supply and demand will go merrily on for a generation. = Glands a n d OiD.

COMPARED TO OTHER FIELDS, HOLBROOK IS PROGRESS
 ING RAPIDLY

When the history of other fields of the country is taken into consideration, the pro- gress that has been made in the Holbrook Field is more than encouraging, although not as rapid as the most i'm patient would desire.
 Many obstacles have had to be encountered and over come in the Holbrook Field that the average man fails to realize. Roads, water, distance from supply centers financing in the face of na- tional drives and many other things have combined with the result that it has not been possible to make the most rapid headway. How ever, there is one obstacle to the advancement of this this field that seems to be continually on the job, and that is the petty, personal backbiting that has been in- duIged in by those whom we can reasonably suppose have narrow, petty, narrow gauge minds. It has possibly never occurred to these gentry that a knock against an interest that is actually trying to de- velop is a knock also at what may be their pet interest and the field in general.
 It has always been the policy of the News to avoid personalities and we shall endeavor to continue that policy even though the late editor of this paper, MT. G. M. Braxton had collected, before his death, interesting data regarding the previous activities of one of our most. chronic trouble makers.
 The situation presents a we'll defined paradox in that every one in Holbrook is absolutely confident of suc- cessful development and is anxious to see the town reap the benefits that will accrue at once production is obtain ed, yet some of these same people have perhaps hinder ed development to a very great extent, by petty mani pulations and propaganda which has assumed, in some instances, vicious aspects.
 However, tn e progress that has actually been made and the interests who have indicated their intent to be- come active at once to aug ment operations now being carried on is certainly a good basis for the assertion that production in the Holbrook Field will be secured well within the limit of time taken by other large fields of the country.

THE FRANTIC SEACH FOR OIL

HE FkANIlC SEACH TUX JILL
 A boom is coming on in oil wildcatting, or prospecting, all over the world and espe- cially in Wyoming. Tn e persistent rise in the price of crude oil, in spite of a constant increase of the out put, is convincing all think ing oil men that no possible growth of the supply can overtake the rapidly expand ing world demand.
 Western Pennsylvania is unconsciously generating a tremendous coming boom in Wyoming oil. The oldest oil field in the world, after 60 years of production, com pleted more new oil wells last month than any of the newer oil states. Pennsyl- vania oil is famous for it's high gasoline content, and is now up to $5 per barrel. Old abandoned 30 years ago are heinp cleaned ont and n11nnn- ed afresh, even tho they yield less than one barrel a day. New wells are being sunk in old oil fields. In- deed, the activity there ex- ceeds that of the days of Coal Oil Johnny half a century ago.
 Wyoming oil is much like that of Pennsylvania in it's high grade gasollnh content and the eyes of the oil world are being turned in that direction. The Wall Street Journal calls attention to this fact. It forecasts great drilling campaigns by big companies with vast capital all over Wyoming during the coming season. The high grade gasoline oil sands there are usually at great depth and require large capital but recently several shallow fields producing the best oil in the world have been developed.
 Few people realize how ex- ceedingly strong the general oil outlook now is. The de- mand for the commodity is already unlimited. Nothing like it was ever seen before in the history of commerce. A frantic demand for and rapidly rising price of any other commodity has always so stimulated production as to bring about an overpro- duction and collapse in the price. But this rule has not applied to oil since the war. Each new gusher field dis covered is followed not by a collapse but by a still fur ther rise in the price. Half a dozen years ago, before the war and before the new demands that came with peace, the Cushing gushers promised the world more oil than it could then use and the price sank to 40c a bar rel. N O W Burkburnett, Ranger, Homer, Mexico, with their dazzling new out puts, seems to have the op- posite effect and to put the price up. As a matter of fact, they have undue weight in keeping the price from rising faster than it does. Each new gusher field causes some additional industry to prepare to displace coal by using oil and thus the new demands increases faster than the new supply. But

NEW DEVELOPMENT
 PLANS SOON
Drilling Companies and Land Owners In
 Negotiation

Oe-A 4AA SaAO klcsOS WOOA NOAA siderable interest has beer aroused by the effort of cer tain interests to acquir, large areas of governmen- ground. What is tantamoun- to a demand has been made of the holders of this acre. age and the inference sug' gested that the acquisition of this land is a condition precedent to a new drilling program.
 There is in this, as in all questions, two sides to be considered. It is true, with out doubt, that those who are inclined to expend large sums of money in drilling are entitled to a reasonable amount of acreage sufficient to make successful conclu- sion of their efforts worth while. There being Treason in all things, " it is also req sonable that the owners and holders of the land so de- sired by drilling companies should be properly taken care of and not asked to tie up their acreage for an indefin- ite period without some safeguard.
 The statement will prob ably not be contradicted that any of these land holders will be willing to turn it in to a responsible drilling com pany provided the land would be actually drilled at some definite time. They also should be convinced that the drilling company to whom they tie this acreage is com potent and responsible. In other words, should not be asked to Ego it blind" but all the cards should be laid upon the table for minute in- spection. Realizing thattheir land is worthless without production, land holders are inclined to be reasonable in their demands on any propo- sition that has to do with the proving of their holdings.
 Any man who actually brings capital into the Hol- brook field for development purposes is entitled to recog- milton, and any company that comes into this field for ex- tensive development pur- poses should, and in fact, must have, a large acreage, but there are conditions and arrangements reasonable to both sides in the negotia- tions that should be consid- cred.
 The Holbrook field is too large and the interests here are too we'll established that the destiny of the Holbrook field should rest in the hands of any one man, or in any one set of men of the same interests, and any who in. dulge in the belief that sucE is the case have an erroneous basis for their conclusions. Rigs already in the field anG operating are sufficient, 1T all likilihOod, to prove the field, but if more are obtain able it certainly is to the in terest of the field to secure them.
