Rio ARR!BA COUNTY
is MAKING PROGRESS
(special Correspondence to The journal

Especial Correspondence to The Journal)
Pagosa Springs, Colo, April T.
Oil development in the Rio Arriba
county fields of New Mexico is re-
ported as progressing very satisfac-
torily. The E. r. Williams wen is
said. by late arrivals to have
reached q depth of 1850 feet. Sew
eral small showings of oil have
been encountered and formations
occurring just about as expected
when the well was commenced. The
well Of the Standard on company
of California is down to a depth
of $50 feet and sinking at the rate
Of twenty feet per day.
1t is reported here that a large
eastern oil company has ordered
tools and equipment for a well to
be sunk ten miles southeast of
Chama, and that this well will be
started before June ].
The structures in Archuleta
county, colo, have been the object
of study by a number Of prominent
oil men during the past few
months and it is believed that
development of at least one Of them
will be undertaken as soon as snow
is gone and weather conditions will
permit the undertaking of opera
tons. r. p. Ellis accompanied by

BURLESQUING a PRIMARY.

From the entries reported the
presidential primaries in some
states are likely to partake some
what of the nature of a burlesque.
owing to the small number of in
dorsers required for entry, there
are those who, unappreciative of
the proprieties yet yearning for
the advertising have entered them =
selves as candidates for either the
presidency or vice presidency.
Such are not known outside Their
immediate neighbOrhoods and may
not be well known there, but their
names will stare at the voter when
he scans the ballot. The primary
system has in many respects fallen
short of what was expected of It,
but in the nomination of q, pres'-
dent it should not be permitted to
fall to the plane of the ridiculous
In oregon n candidate for vice
president bears the name of Wash
ington and in his behalf it is al
legged to be stated that he is a de-
scendant of the Father of ON
Country" We fail to discern
wherein the compliment lies in
either direction. That the matter
is regarded as a joke seems to be
indicated, but then the sense OF
humor is quite sadly perverted in
some. In one race the name Of q
Nebraska livery stable keeper was
nlaced on q presidential primary
ballot and he received 15,O0O vast
ecl votes as Joke.

PRAYERS MAY BE POOR
PAYERS.

II is an old saying that he who
dances must pay the fiddler. The
public has never insisted that only
they who pray must pay preachers.
But congregations of churches,
even when aided by outsiders, too
rarely pay ministers fairly and
with the honesty that is the rule
of business outside Of religious
work.
There is no calling so essential
to both the spiritual and physical
well being of humanity as the Cos
pei ministry. Yet, to the eternal
shame of humanity, there is no
other calling so inadequately re-
warded, so stingily paid,
How many of Us who sit COM
fortably in our seats in church
and listen to the words uttered by
the man in the pulpit ever distress
ourselves with thoughts Of self
denial, the sacrifices, the actual
privations which that man may en-
dure to appear before us even de-
Gently clothed?
We know what we pay him for
his work. We know what food
costs today, we know what cloth
ing costs, we know what it costs
to maintain a home for our fami-
lies. We know that from the men
in the pulpit we are demanding
and receiving the greatest service
man can render to man, yet 10
him we grudgingly offer a pittanco,
a misery stipend, out Of which
we expect him to supply all OF
his bodily wants while he minis
tiers to our spiritual needs.
The acceptable minister Of the
gospel today must have learning
and culture. He must pass through
a long period of special and eNpen-
sive training. He must have quail
! ties Of heart and mind for superior
/ to those required for success in
other general callings. Yet there
is not one of the trained profess
sions that does not far exceed the
ministry in financial returns. It
has been asserted that the average
| salary of ministers in the United
States would. scarcely pass a thou
sand dollars 4 year, sum far be-
low what is earned by unframed
labor.
While men in other pursuits re-
curing only a fraction Of the prep
aration have been granted higher
pay to meet the increased cost of
living. the pay Of the preacher in
most cases remains unchanged.
To preserve religion to strength
en- its power over evil, its teachers,
its ministers, must not only have a
sufficiency to meet their physical
needs, but should have an abund-
ance to leave them free for the
Great battles. 1t is high time we
| an paused to think how cruelty
we are mistreating the men who
are striving to lift humanity ont OF
the material depths to the spiritual
heights.
1t is high time that every man
who attends a church should re-
member the salary increases he re-
ceived and give some of it to his
minister. Every man who goes TO
church should sit down and figure
the percentage of increase that has
been added to his income and feel
that he is under obligation to see
that his minister's salary is in
/ fhn Same ratio.
It is high time that the world
should recognize in n substantial
way it's debt to the men who are
urging, with voice and example,
the betterment of the world.
It is high time that all who are
treading the path to the grave
should aid in upholding he hands
of those who are pointing the way
TO the life hereafter.

Very properly, the French are eau
tious about tinkering with their chart.

Washington's Wild Waves.

An expert il cutting samples from
the city pavements In an effort to
learn the cause of the waves that
characterize Washington's surfacing.
It is the prayer of every person who
uses the streets in vehicles that his
quest will be successful and that q
cure will be found.
On most Of the city streets at pres.
ent travel at more than q ten-mile
pace is almost the equivalent Of a
sea voyage for roughness. The

closely as the heavier ones, are jolted
severely when the pace rises to twen-
ty miles an hour and at q thirty mile

an excellent imitation Of a hydro
plane in the last stage Of rising from
the surface of the water.
1t is believed that these waves or
humps in the streets are caused by a
creeping of the material from the base
under the steady impact Of wheels
moving in one direction constantly.
This is due to the right and left hand
side regulation of the traffic. If the
left-hand rule were adopted for while,
perhaps these waves would be smooth
ed out or at least shifted. But, of
course that is out of the question. 1t
is hard enough now to regulate the
traffic without reversing everything.

sance is to find a combination Of base,

No Cadet Uniform Change.


There win be no change in the High
School Cadet uniform this year. This
wise decision has been reached by the.
school authorities, who evidently made
the suggestion of q possible alteration
in the interest Of economy in order
to feel the public pulse They felt
it Enthusiastically. The opposition to
any such change was immediate and
pronounced. Not only the present and
prospective members Of the cadet
corps. but parents and friends Of the
schools and admirers Of the organi-
zation voiced their protest. The mo-
tive for the proposed change was
praisevorthy. It was hoped to avoid
a heavy expense. But the method
sought was really worse than the
trouble which it Ssas sought to avoid.
A high rate Of cost for the old-style
uniform viii. perhaps, keep some boys
out Of the ranks because their parents
cannot afford the cost. On the other
hand, however. the change to a coat
less costume would have kept an even
larger number out Of the organization.
With the corps uniformed az In the
past It Win probably be quite as large
as in the past. taking into account the
natural Increase in available num-
bers. It WIN certainly present a much
more attractive appearance in public,
and the morale of the organization will
be much higher than II the change
suggested has been adopted.
