SAY PHOENIX MAY BECOME CENTER IF
 LARGE OIL FIELD

That Phoenix soon may become an oil center is the information which has just come to light. through the ef- forts of A. w Fisher of the Davie Realty Company.
 Some time ago Mir. Fisher was re- quested by the realty board, together with Sam Barlley, to investigate the work being done by the Phoenix Oil and Exploitation company, corpora ton composed of many Phoenix citi- zens which had located a derrick on a half section of land about 40 miles north of this city, which work had been interrupted because of the money stringency The territory surround ing the proposed well so impressed Mir. Fisher from it's character that he at his own expense went to Los Angeles and brought back with him G. c. Wucherer. the inventor of an oil finding instrument which has been proved unerring in it's accuracy in the locating of oil pools, and this instru- ment not only outlined a very large pool in the vicinity of the well of the Phoenix Oil and Production com pany, but the instrument recorded a pool of remarkable strength about F miles from the original pool pointing to it even from Phoenix more than 30 miles away. Mir. Wucherer insists that this pool will prove to be a gush- CT of great magnitude.
 Yesterday MT. Fisher returned from Los Angeles with Mir Wucherer and his attorney, B. F. Gray, for the pur- pose of negotiating a deal with a wealthy customer who had learned of the wonderful oil finding, and of the rich pool here near Phoenix, the object being to finance this and other pools
Arizona republican., 1920-12-28

to be located elsewhere. The capital ist offered to put up $100,000 immedi- ately and give Wucherer 49 per cent of the stock in a corporation which was to be a holding company and con- trol the United States and Canada, agreeing further to place millions at the company's disposal in developing territory located by the instrument. The offer was refused by MT. Wuch- erer, who declined to allow the instru- ment and himself to be capitalized. MT. Fisher is still hopeful of effecting a deal along other lines that will re- suit in the sinking of a well at an early date in the rich pool The Comanche County oil company ot Texas, which MT. Fisher represented here about two years ago, is now con sidering a proposition of MT. Fisher to enter this territory and put down test well. The company. having un- tangled itself from litigation Tor which it was in no way responsible, IS now operating on a large scale III Texas and no doubt will soon issue regular dividends to stockholders.
 What the development of a rich oil field close to Phoenix would mean can hardly be realized by one not familiar with the effect it would have. There would be sky scrapers going up all  and the whole state would receive an impetus that would make for doub- 1 ling of it's population in a short time. And the advantage to the mining and other companies requiring cheap fuel is, of course, apparent.
 Mr. Fisher believes that this oil matter should receive the earnest con sideration of the commercial bodies of ] the city; that they should make a 1 thorough investigation of it as he has 1 done, and then get back of it and help ] put down a well if such help should be necessary. It would soon relieve the 1 depressed situation which now exists l as a result of the cotton situation and | bring to this city and the whole val l ley an activity never before experi- enced.
 There is no glutted oil market of 1 the world today, but there is a very disturbing estimateZ shortage for
 1921 of 500,900,00 barrels. And only
 a few days ago a statement was pub- l lished in the financial columns of a
 large Los Angeles daily that after it's contract ending December, 1921, had expired, the Union Oil company would cut Arizona off further shipments as
 it would not have the oil to supply. It's shipments totalled 1,250,000 bar rels a year.
 If there is oil in Arizona, and the
 evidence that there is is conclusive tc
 those who have given the matter the
 most thorough Investigation then the
 sooner it is brought to the surface the
 better for it means prosperity for ont
 and all, especially for Phoenix whicf
 is so close to the prospective field.

MAKES COMPLAINT
 ON WATER CHARGES

Claiming that the Mackey Water company, which furnishes water to his property in Lower Miami, over charged him. A. Barrie yesterday filed complaint with the corporation com mission, which has given the company 10 days in which to file its answer.
 The complainant alleges that the water company refuses to accept pay ment for water at the established rate of the commission and that he has been compelled to pay an amount in excess in order not to have his water disconnected.
 Barrie has a small tract in Lower Miami and a number of small living rooms which he has rented. His ten ants all receive water through meter installed on the property and instead of accepting payment! at the meter rate the company is'attempting to make each tenant pay the minimum rate of $2 a month according to the complaint.
 Barrie claims his bill is s14 month for water.

MOVIE CAMERA GETS
BABY FALLING ASLEEP

Healthy good natured babies are
the most fascinating things in the
world and by doing the natural thing
at unexpected times baby provides
some of the most delicious humor
that ever occurs. Such an event
never included in the story, for
nothing could have caused it to occur
except nature, is contained in THE
Woman Gives, starring Norma Tai
madge, which will be shown at tho
Grand Theatre Monday.
A six-montns-old baby was used in
the picture to pose for Inga Sender
son, played by Miss Talmadge, a
young artist just becoming famous
for her baby pictures Almost every
one connected with Miss Talmadge's
studio did something to make the high
chair comfortable for the youngster
so he would remain good-natured
while he was having his picture taken
He was also we'll fed just before be-
ginning his posing. The natural
thing happened, although it was un-
expected. He went to sleep as soon
as he got comfortably settled and the
camera man kept grinding until he
was sound asleep and the whole scene
was kept in the picture by orders OF
Miss Ta1madge herself. 1t adds q
most delicious touch to very pleas
ant production.

LOCAL TOBACCO
MARKET GOOD
Much Tobacco Being Offered Here;
Prices Good For Quality

Thursday and today tobacco farm
ers Jared we'll if their offerings were
up to grade, as good tobacco brought
good prices both sales days. 1t is
very noticeable that much of the to-
bacco brought. to market was gathered
before it ripened and in consequences
prices for this quality are very dissa-
pointing. However this same condi-
ton is reported in each of the mark
cts in Georgia, the new planters fail
ing to realize the Importance of pick
ing ripe leaves only and then curing
them properly. That good money
can be made and is made in tobacco
in this section, is best illustrated by
several of our planters who have CIV
en- the crop proper attention and in
telligent care. In conversation with
R. R. Dorminey, growing tobacco for
the first time this year, we learned
of his remarkable success and the
quality of tobacco which he has
brought to the market thus far this
season and the prices which he re-
ceived have been most satisfactory
and he expects to put considerable
acreage into tobacco next season. The
crop is a profitable one, but the grow
ers must learn how to judge it and
cure properly.
Fifteen thousand pounds were sold
here today at an average above zoe,
although a great deal of the weed was
sold much below that figure

BILL TO PROTECT
WORKERS PASSED
Success of Compensation Act Comes
as Surprise Even to Its Friends.

ATLANTA, Aug. 13.-One of the
features of the nights session of the
house, and a development that came
as big surprise to even its friends
in that body, was the passage of the
Workmen's compensation act, bill
that has been probably as widely dis
cussed during the present session of
the legislature as any other one biz
of proposed legislation.
The bill, which was originally in
troduced in the senate b. Senator
Bowden of the fifth, provides com,

ers in certain GEORGIA manufactures,
and it was approved by the house
by vote of 120 to 81.
1t was one of the very first meas
ures to come before the night ses-
sion of the house, and the reading
of the first few paragraphs of it's
approximate half hundred pages was
the signal for a number of sugges-
tons by which the house could avoid
waste of time.
The speaker ruled, however, that
the bill must follow the prescribed
procedure and be read for the third
time before action, and this took APP
proXimately forty minutes.

out in meeting and I am going to
speak right out plain so as to be un-
derstood. I am going to cali names,
I am not seeking a controversy. I

some other union man to speak OUT

Labor unions are far from perfect

SEES VICTORY FOR
GOVERNOR DORSEY
To Be Dorsey-Watson Race.

ATLANTA, Aug. l3.-Hugh Cor
don, who is to manage the Dorsey
Senatorial campaign, reached Atlanta
today and took hold at headquarters.
He got right down to work and
started things humming. AS he ran
through the files of letters and tele-
grams, he said he was surprised to
hnd how rapidly Dorsey sentiment
has crystallized.
County after county is being or,
ganized by the old Democratic lead
ers, hundreds of whom, in the past,
have been active for Senator Hoke
Smith.
1t seems that the people have
made up their minds that this is to
be a fight between straight out Dem
ocracy and insurgents" said Mr..
Gordon. I'VE Democrats have diff
tered among ourselves in the past
and have split into factions but this
year the factions are coming together
and they are uniting behind Governor
Dorsey: They are going to take him
as their leader because he stands
upon the national Democratic plat
form. There is no question about his
party loyalty in the past and no
doubt as to his loyalty in the flu
ture.
Dorsey Watson Race.
The race is between Governor
Dorsey and Mr. Watson. Here are
more athan twenty letters saying it is
unnecessary to even send speaker
in as many counties and widely
scattered ones, too Senator Smith
is not serious factor. 1t is either
Dorsey or Watson, almost the whole
State oy&
Mr.. Watson is too radical for the
rockribbed Democrats and Mr.. Smith
has straddled too much-voting some
times with the Republicans and some-
times with the Democrats. We well
come Senator Smiths old leaders
because they are strong in numbers
and influence and are <staunch in
their Democracy and love for Geor-
gia. We are all sincere in our aim
to send to the United States Senate
from Georgia a man who is in thor
ough and wholehearted accord with
the party's national platform and
leaders,"
