DOWN OF THE BoLSHEVIkI
GOVERNMENT.
Are Turning to the Organization of
Local communistic Units to Re-
place Temporarily the Old
Soviet Organization.

~Nington.-Confirma of the
rapid decline of Bolshevism in Rus
STA has been received by the state de-
partment in "advices of a reliable
character" Secretary Colby said on
Thursday. "The dispatches" he add
cd, ''have set forth every symptom of
the breakdown of the soviet govern
I1cnt"
The great majority of Russian pea
SAINTS have already repudiated Boil
shevism as form of government, Mr..
Colby said, and are turning to the
organization of local Communistic
units to replace temporarily the old
soviet organization. The departments
advices, he added, showed that Boil
shevism as recognized mode of gov
eminent had ceased to exist in many
parts of Russia. Out of the local Com
munistic government, Mr.. Colby said
he believed there would follow a grad
ual coalition into representative and
democratic form of national govern
ment.
Bolshevism in Russia is done for,
in the opinion of Secretary Colby,
who, in making important observa-
lions on this world agitating subject,
said that he hopes his statements
would not be regarded in the light of
propaganda and that he was actuated
to speak in the premises by a great
preponderance of evidence which
showed that there is forming in Rus
STA the rudlments of self-government
which soon must develop into a tangi-
BILE government of Russia as an entity.
Just what will succeed Bolshevism,
the secretary said, is the question Civ.
ing most concern now. The pro-
pensities Of the Russians for q 10.
cal Communistic mode of self-govern-
ment, in his opinion, will result in
the maintenance of local law and or.
der by the zemstvos and other local
bodies. From this qualified equilibri.
um, he thought, a scheme would be
evolved out of which would come q

Reconsideration for the purpose Of
crushing the proletarlat is being organ

fronted by the revolutionary organiza-
ton Of the masses throughout the
world, says manifesto addressed to
"all workmen and peasants" which
was printed Friday In the Avanti, So

signed by the Socialist party, the

Confederation of Labor, the Syndicate
OF Railwaymen. the Federation of Sea-

ruptcy and ruin of the italian bour-
geolsie is evident, Italy energies from
the war as vassal of the entente,
the quantity of bread and coal for our
people being diminished daily; the
state budget is disastrously full of

without impotence, but with prompt

Military conspiracies such as that
Of Captain Gabrielle d'Annunzio at
Fiume." the manifesto concludes, "as
well as any attempt at military die

our men, must find the proletarlat
united, compact and ready to fight
for the safety of Its organizations, for
definite conquest of power and for
the triumph of communism"

WashingtOn.-Two articles which

Governor Cox suggests in his article
that If elected he will ask congress to
revoke the excess profits tax and to

WHAT'S DOING IN THE
 HOLBROOK OIL FIELD

Texas fields, and very competent man. Eight-inch casing is being set at the 500 foot mark. According to Griggs the formation is similar to the shallow fields of Oklahoma, and it is not unlikely that the next POO feet will give interesting evidence so long looked for. As Greggs is mak- ing 40 to 50 feet daily. it should only be few days before the possibility above mentioned may be realized.
 Manager Jordan was in town last evening, making a hurried trip from the well.
 Oil operators who have been driIl- ing near Pennington, N. M., were rewarded with a five-barrel a day well the past week. Dr. Switzer, just returned from Pennington, gives the above facts-and 995 barrels of the reported strike is probably gas. We see another operation in sight for mental phantasamagoria."

Work progresses at the well of the Holbrook Oil company, in charge of Wm. Downing. Progress is delayed to certain extent by the fact that only one tower is being run at pres ent awaiting the arrival of the equipment ordered, when a second tower will be ordered. That the company is making all necessary preparations is indicated by the let ting of a contract to H. E. Howard for the cutting of additional wood. This by no means indicates the be- lief that great depth will be neces- sary, but is being done as matter of precaution before the cold wealth CT sets in in earnest. New depth is being made at the present time, and everything that can be done to ex- pedite conclusion is being accom- plished by the management.

TESTS TO DETERMINE
 FARM POSSIBILITIES

That the counties of the state are constantly making experiments to determine their possibilities in agri- culture and stock raising, is indi- cated by report of the various county agents. Experimental pro- jects are being carried on in all the counties, and plans are being made for the development of every possi- ble natural resource.
 A total of 359 head of dairy cattle has been shipped into Navajo county from Salt River valley during this season.
 Two silos of 400 tons capacity each have been erected. This is the first venture of it's kind in this part of the country, and all stockmen are watching the demonstration in or der to find out if it pays to fatten steers on silage. One hundred head of 2 and Swear old steers have been secured for the first years feeding. The silos will cost about $2.25 per ton capacity. They are 12x45 feet and solid concrete.
 At the Duke goat ranch there are 1900 milk goats of excellent quality. The agent report a goat dinner thru the hospitality of MT. Duke. They were served with goat meat, goat butter on the bread, and potatoes fried in goat fat. The goats are of Toggenburg stock. This year there is about a 16O per cent kid crop.
 Plans were outlined by Professor Smith relating to improvements of the Woodruff irrigation project, which will enable them to eliminate the inverted siphoos. Suspended metal fumes will take the place of the siphons, which have not been satisfactory. A pumping system was suggested for the St. Johns system in order to overcome the silt con- tained in the water now used for ir- rgation purposes in the Little Colo rado
 Water power plans for developing electricity were outlined at Eager. This plan would supply Eager, Springervile and Colter with light ing power. A town water supply for Eager was also discussedl. Water measurements for irrigation were made in several communities along Silver Creek. Town water system was discussed for Snowflake.

MODERN CRANK CASE
 CLEANING SERVICE

Modern crank case cleaning ser vice is something new being in- stalled in local garages and service station, here according to Mir. P. A. Lerch, special agent for the Stand ard Oil company. This, it is sated, will be the means of giving greater lubricating efficiency to an oil, and thus produce a longer life for the automobile.
 Lubricating experts have proven that a motor which is given a "regu- lar bath" by means of some flushing agent, has longer life and produces more speed and power. Motorists know that. after a few weeks of driv- ing the lubricating oil becomes dirty with carbon, road dust and fine par ticles which circulate through the engine and cause unnecessary wear on the bearing surfaces. Gasoline also escapes past the pistons and di- lutes the oil.
 A new way to get rid of this dirty, diluted oil and put an engine in line for better performance and longer life, is by crank case cleaning, and this should be done with a thorough flushing agent that does not contam- mate the fresh oil.
 Several local garagemen and ser vice station operators are giving careful attention to correct lubrica- tion," and the proper cleaning of crank case and the filling with the correct grade of oil are considered essential to this. This is why the local service men have installed crank case cleaning service in their business, the cleaning of crank cases is a dirty job," but small one, and realizing this, these live wire garages and service stations have equipped their outfits to do this sort of work. Fifteen minutes time is all that is required to clean a crank case, and this has been proven essential to proper fabrication and a longer life for motor cars.
 Hr. Lerch, an authority on crank case service, states that all large and up-to-date garages and service stations on the coast have installed this modern service.
