Total amount expended for


The above does not include cost of
bridges or culverts on the Pattison
Road, nor does it include any Of the
equipment Of material on hand which
is listed below.
The 512 miles finished gravelled
road called the Pattison Road starting
from Church Street Railroad cross
ing and ending at Willis Creek Bridge
is the only link that is practically fin-
ished and shows that this road was
constructed at an average cost of
$55S0.00 per mile. There are a num-
Der of stretches on this road that
have considerable more than the 8
inches Of gravel to be placed thereon,
as in these places it is from IL inches
to 2 feet due to the soft condition Of
the soil additional gravel was placed
on them until solid hard surface
was obtained
The only graveling done on the
Russum road is the Spencer Hill
which was gravelled at very high
cost due to the long haul from Willis
creek with the gravel and also the
excessive amount gravel this hill took
to make a solid roadbed. Grading is

made to get this road through to the
County Line before bad weather
starts again this fall. The bad wealth
er last winter made construction costs
much higher than they should have
been.
During the winter months more
than $500 was expended in filling
holes and making attempts to keep
the Russum and Tillman Roads pass
able, as there was no Road Contract
or on these links.
Lately the gravel being used on the
streets has all been shipped In and
is an excellent grade Of road gravel,
but is more expensive than hauling
from Willis Creek by truck.
The following permanent equip

FLANAGAN AND FREEMAN'S
 RIGHT TO YOUR SUPPORT

Vote right on the board of supervis- ors-the most important office within the county.
 A good board of supervisors means good administration Throughout the public affairs of the county.
 It means good roads, good schools, business judgment injected into every phase of the county's affairs.
 Not breath of scandal or censure has characterized the administration of the present board; not a word of criticism can justly be launched against them.
 That Flanigan and Freeman will sweep the county next Tuesday is foregone conclusion, basing judgment on the incoming reports from every section of the county--which is to the credit of an appreciatire and progress i've people-with the star of hope looming big in the direction of the oil fields.
 The strength of Freeman and Flan- igan has grown with every hour of the campaign, and the splendid record gained by these two men should be sufficient in itself to bring them a handsome recognition from the voters whom they have served so well the past two years.
 These gentlemen, with the loyal CO., operation of Chairman Creswel, have pulled the taxpayers out of hole wherein they were confronted with deficit of more than $6S,OOO, and to- day have handsome balance to their credit.
 They have by the adoption of a pol icy of putting on the tax rolls many thousands of dollars that were dodged by the big corporations, been able to reduce the tax rate for the small tax payer while they paid off the deficit and accumulated balance.
 The county is in much better shape

NORTHERN ARIZONA
 FAIR OCT. 16-l8

The eighth annual Northern Arizona state fair will be the best ever held by this association in the north. It has been the aim of the management to build this fair up as an educational institution and in this they have sue ceeded.
 In all departments of the fair work, the prizes have been materially in- creased, about one-third of the prem ium money being added to that of the prizes offered in 1919. This in itself will prove a big inducement for all exhibitors to take part in this fair.
 Improvements on the grounds will be made insofar as the money at the disposal of the fair association will warrant. Estimates are now being made on the cost of laying a cement floor in the Mining and Educational building. This will enable exhibitors to show their products to better ad- vantage.
 A splendid program of entertain- is being arranged. The racing and track events will be under the super vision of Lester Ruffner. Already many inquiries have been received from racing strings desiring to make this fair, and the sports program will be one to attract some of the best an- imals from near and far.
 Copies of the prize list and rules can be had free of charge by address ing the Secretary of the Northern Ari- zona State Fair Association, Prescott, Arizona.

 There will be a special meeting of the Guild which is connected with the Episcopal church at the Girls Friendly hall next Wednesday afternoon, at four o'clock. It is hoped that there will be large attendance, as many matters of vital interest will be taken up at that time, and the work can not be successfully carried on unless the members and their friends get togeth- CT and work with a will.

than it has been for many years due to the indefatigable energy and busi- ness sagacity of our present board and now, on the eve of an approach ing election, the News, who has lived up to it's standard of loyalty to the hearthstone first, desires to remind the voters of Navajo county of the debt of appreciation for valiant serv- ices rendered by the present board and of the increasing responsibilities of this office when Holbrook and Nav ajo county finds itself the exposure of all eyes when the oil wells come in which they are sure to do.
 It is tried, trusted and proven rep resentatives that we need at this time to carry through to a successful con clusion the manifold projects in hand and at our door, and vote for the maintenance of the present board is a vote for the maintenance of the stable policies of the county now working for the progress, economy, efficiency and perpetuation of Arizona's coming county.
 Throw away your hammer and get a bugle and blast your appreciation of the splendid achievements actually ac- complished and to be accomplished by the board of supervisors-the govern ing lever of our entire county machin- cry.
 A vote for Freeman and Flanigan is constructive effort on your part for bigger and better and broader business administration of the affairs of Navajo county.
 When you, MT. Voter, enter the cleo tion booth next Tuesday, forget the small, whimsical personalities prevail ent in prediction times, and cast your ballot for your own best inter ests and the county's best interests, and it will certainly be for Freeman and Flanigan.

ADAMANA, NOTES

MT. and Mrs. Joseph Romeo have moved from Adamana to Pinta, Mir. Romeo having accepted a position as first trick operator at that point. 1t is with deep regret that Adamana and vicinity parts with this most estimable young couple.
 Miss Frances Bower has accepted temporarily position as clerk and assistant postmaster in the general store of Mir. R. R. Alton until her school commences the 9th of Septem- Der.
 Postmaster Alton is experiencing considerable trouble in securing and keeping an assistant for his store and post office; the last one he had chang ed his name and went broncho busting. MT. Alton says, however, that he has no fear that his present assistant will resign to enter in either of those oc- equations.
 Mrs. Orville Martin received an ex- press package recently from Mrs. Me Laws, of Saint Joseph City, which contained one small pig. The difficult ties encountered by Miss Mary of school book fame in raising her pet lamb were very mild as compared with Mrs. Martins troubles. Just listen: Fay, she bought little pig to eat the
 potato peel,
 And every time she goes by the pen
 she can hear her piggy squeaL It followed her to the store one day,
 which made Bob fret and foam, Now every time she goes to town she
 leaves that hog at home.
 MT. J. M. Saunders and wife, Mr. Henning and wife and Ford were up from Pinta last Sunday, visiting their sons-in-law and grandchildren All re- port good time.
 One days shopping in Winslow by Mrs. Joseph Romeo, the 25th, render ed it unnecessary for "Joe" to make the usual pilgrimage to the "metrop- olis" of northern Arizona to deposit the surplus "kale."
 Mrs. John Flynn and her daughter, Violet, went to Albuquerque Friday to have their eyes examined and fitted with glasses.
 Martha, the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Loy Turbeville, has been sick for the. last few days, which made it Dec- essary for her mother to do all the housework alone. Miss Martha, how ever, is convalescing now and will soon be out again.

WHAT'S DOING IN
 THE OIL FIELD

The $500 foot cable for the Holbrook Oil company well arrived during the week and is now in place, drilling hay ing been resumed, running two towers as heretofore. The formation is still hard but IS of an interesting character. Geologist Reid is still in the field and while here will choose the location for the next well to be drilled by his principals. Casing is expected to ar- rive before further water is eneount- cred and there would seem to be no reason for any delay in getting to the sands.
 The Adamana company is still awaiting casing which is expected in the very near future. The showing of gas at the well continues. GeoloRist Reid states that the showing is very encouraging.
 The Zuni company has moved it's rig forty feet from the old hole and expects to spud in today. This will be good news to everyone, as the ef-- forts of Manager Jordan have been such as to entitle him to better luck than he has had. No time will be lost after spuddlng the new hole in rush. ing the well to completion.
 Rig of the Bankers Oil Co. has been on the road for six weeks past and is expected in any time now. Upon ar rival it will be rushed to the field and work commenced just as soon as men and money can do it.

preter. In a late case the county saved the interpreters fees in two courts because of this important qual- Gcation-the ability of the county at storney to speak Spanish.
 When Mr. Greer took office the de- linquent tax list was an appalling thing. Now large part of these tax es are collected and the rest are in the process of collection. Will you not give him time to clean the slate?
 He is the only one of the candidates who would consider the position worthy of his full time and attention, and be at liberty to give it such.
 And the rest are too busy to care for the office properly. All of them have large and growing law prac- tice. They represent the banks, the wholesale and retail houses, the big cattlemen and sheepmen. They do not need it. Our candidate does.
 MT. Thorwald Larson is now city attorney of Holbrook; he is also U. s. land commissioner; and his wife is a teacher in the public schools at Hol- brook. Isn't that enough for family of two people? Judge Sapp for seven and half years presided as superior judge in this county. Will anyone say that he has not had his turn? MT. w. E. Ferguson, although not long in the county, was a member of the local board during war times and since then as secretary of the highway commits sion drew down fair salary consider ing the time| Can he not wait little longer? Especially, when MT. Greer has served at a salary of $125 a month at time when living expenses were the highest ever known. The rest have had their day or it is com ing. Give our candidate a chance to buy his law library and his house. You know this, every dollar that he makes will be spent here at home.
 Politics.
 Beaten at the primary last election, Thorwald Larson bolted the ticket, al though he had printed on his cards beforehand, Subject to the Demo- cratic Primaries" while Judge Sapp only last election was republican, and Ferguson does not deny changing his political faith on coming here from California. Greer has been for years democrat.
 For these reasons you are asked to vote for Thos. R. Greer by his friends and relatives, citizens of Navajo county. You will make no mistake in pleasing us and thereby best serving yourselves. Vote for Thos. R. Greer for county attorney. ADV.
