American Legion Banquet
Washington's Birthday

February 23rd has been set as
the date for the banquet which
is to be given by the Frank Per-
kins Post No. Is of the Ameri-
can Legion at Winslow.
The Banquet hall Of the Har-
vey hotel has been engaged and
practically arrangements closed.
The Post Commander, Edward
Carroll, has extended invitations
to Gov. Tom Campbell, State At
torney Wiley Jones and others
from Phoenix to deliver address,
es on the occasion as we'll as Mr..
V. j Yaeger, who is Post Com
mander of the Gallup, N. M. !,
Legion. j. A. Christie, Supt. of
the Santa Fe at Needles, Calf, !,
and a staunch supporter of the
Legion, is to be the guest of
honor and deliver a,short speech.
Edward Carroll, local post
commander, will act as toast
master and will be seated at the
speakers table with the Cover
nor on his right and the State
Attorney on his left. There
will be two long tables extended
south from the speakers table
where the members and their
guests will be seated. The seat
ing arrangement has been plann-
ed SO that all present can face
the speakers table at any time
without any more effort than
turning their heads. The tables
when finally arranged will form
the letter u.
Places will be set for one hun
dred. 1t is planned to have as
many legionaries as possible also
ex service men who have not yet
signed up. The remaining seats
will be occupied by fathers or
brothers of men who served dur
ing the war.
The entertainment committee
has been instructed to spare no
effort to secure the best possible
talent for the occasion, and many
delightful numbers are being ar
ranged. Singing. dancing, re-
citations, etc., will be in order.
A committee has been appoint
ed of which A. S. Brayman is
chairman to secure the best or
chestra he can possibly get to
render music for the occasion,
and he is violinist of some note
himself we expect him to line up
a good one.
The local manager of the Har-
vey hotel, Mr.. Fore, has promis-
ed us the best cuisine and SER
vice possible and a good time is
assured all who attend.
The eX-service men are es-
pecially interested in what Mr..
Wiley Jones will have to say, as
he is the sponsor of a movement
to introduce some legislature that
will give them a substantial bo-
nus, to which he thinks they are
entitled, on this point they are
heartily agreed.

must be produced, or hopes aban-
doned, but from all facts and
conditions in our possession really
look very encouraging.
The mud is deeper than ever
known in this section, and roads
are practically impossible for
empty rigs, and the hauling of
heavy material is out of the ques-
ton. Very little progress has
been made in actual operations
the last few weeks, only two
wells operating, however that is
to be expected, considering the
weather and mud, which should
clear up in the near future.
There is big progress in plans
for drilling, and we are told a
drilling campaign will be started
and continued that will startle
Arizonia. It is a known fact,
that this field, particularly, the
main anticline structure can not
be drilled successfully with a
light rig or small company. 1t
is heavy drilling. and the new
contracts that have been let, and
are now under consideration call
for standard drilling rigs of a
heavy type, properly equipped.
Charles Edward Major, who
made the first really extensive
report on this field, said in part:
Il have found more favorable
indications of oil in tests of rocks
taken from the Southern area
contiguous to this anticIine, than
in any samples of rock taken
from the Northern area and sub
mitted to me. "
Considering Dorsey Hager's
conservatism, his report is con-
sidered exceptionally favorable,
although he did not explore and
examine as large an area, as
Major, Beeler, Craise, Packard
and others.
The secret is out, as to the So
called great Burk b urn It,
Ranger, Desdemonia and the new
Louisiana Fields.
In the first place, the pools and
their capacity was overestimated
and again, greedy "oyer-drilling"
is bringing on failure very rap
idly.
True, there are more wells to
the small area in Burk- burnett
than any other place in the world,
and it is much overdone. The
Financial Review Of New York
for February 9Th, states that
formerly the Burk- burnett field
produced $4,000 barrels daily,
and although there has recently
been brought in many new wells,
nevertheless the last or latest
test of the fields shows near 80
900 barrels per day.
The Sinclair Oil Company drill
ing on Section 81, in the gushet
territory, Oaks No. 2, proved to
be a 5000 barrel gusher, 95 per
cent salt water, and 5 per cent
