ADAMANA

No new developments have occurred at the well this week. Drilling is pro- gressing actively. Forma- tion is still heavy clay or shale. This formation indi- cates the best possible me- dium for the perfect sealing of the oil sands, and the management is greatly en- couraged from the fact that the drill has sunk through enough of this strata to jn- sure a perfect structure, and that the gas pressure con- tinues stronger from day to day.

OIL DISCOVERED
 IN ARCTIC CIRCLE

The wonderful future for the oil industry and the eagerness of capital to se- cure it. is very forcibly proven in the Standard Oil company recently bringing in production in the far north (Arctic circle), 1500 miles north of Edmonton and about the same distance from a railroad point. That insurmountable obstac l e s had. to be overcome is easy to realize. From a commer- cial viewpoint, it will be some time before this heir of the Standard Oil com pany will become a dividend payer. Oil developing in this. far-away zone, in the land of eternal ice and snow, takes capital The laying of a pipe line to make the output available for the worlds market would cost, it is stated, over $50, 900, . 900.

SIDEWALKS ORDERED
 ON PORTER STREET

At a special meeting of the town council held We'd nesday evening a resolution of intention to put in side walks on the east side of Porter street, between Gen. tral avenue and Washington avenue, was adopted.
 All the property owners with the exception of one were willing and ready for the improvement, and the proceeding, which was taken under the ''ImproVIment Law of 1912," was necessary to lead one recalcitrant resi- dent up to the trough and make him drink; and he'll drink, alright now, for with the bringing in of oil it is almost certain that the lots would bring enough under the hammer to pay for the improvement.
 The property holders on the west side of the street are all agreed on the putting down of the sidewalk, and when completed we can walk for four solid blocks without the use of mud guards.
 Concrete curbs and street are contemplated for this thoroughfare in the early under the same pro- cedure.

William Lee, after over a years illness and suffering, passed out Saturday night at the family home in Hol- brook, surrounded by his wife and four. children.
 He was born in Harmony, Utah, Dec. 16, 1859, and reared near what is known as Lees Ferry, named for his father, John D. Lee, which is the only available crossing in northeastern Ari- zona, and there is still standing in a canyon below, a stone cabin which was the Lee home for a number of years, where his father taught the Indians agricul- ture, and is credited with planting the first fruit trees known in the valley.
 His mother, who was edu- cated in London, crossed the plains with a hand cart in the early thirties, and set tied in Utah.. She was a doctor---a generous, brave hearted frontier woman, her home always open to the pioneers, to whom she as- sisted with money and food.
 There were six children, of whom William was the eldest, and it was a hazard ous life they led, menaced by Indians---whiIe building dams and irrigating land for the raising of crops---and William developed into a strong, fearless boy who, af- ter the death of his father, became the helpmeet of his mother in raising the fam fly.
 He became a cowboy; was considered the best shot in Arizona; fair in all his deal ings; a good, true friend, always to be relied upon to cut the cards square.
 In 1890 he returned to Utah and married, and three years later returned to Ari- zona, residing in Winslow for ten years, going from there to Woodruff, where the breaking of the dam, to- gether with a fire, wrought havoc with his finances and he migrated to Holbrook.
 He bore an active part in the early development of Arizona, was a member of the government pack train when the troops followed Geronimo into old Mexico, and was one of the last re-

 We are going to be the Randy Kid with the admin istratlon at Washington, and the only way the old mossback senators from the other arid states can get in is to come to Holbrook and buy an oil well-take the electric.
 When Cameron was at his promising best in the cam paign just closed, he was speaking in a little town in Yavapai county that is some distance froma a railroad, and in his opening remarks he told his audience that he would have them a railroad within nine months, pro- vided he was elected. From there he went to water wheels and dams, and sich, and landed back to the rail road-so dear to their hearts ---and made another solemn promise to lay the rails for the iron horse within six months, providing, etc. And just then he hit the high notes in an oratorical flight and landed back on the rail road with a third promise to bring it to them in three months, providing, etc., and as he stopped to pour a little water on the exhaust---a Missouri COW puncher broke. in on the seance with, "For Gawd's sake, Bill, let's get out of here before we get run over"

 But the privilege of get ting their pedals moistened was reserved for those of the faithful who were suffi- ciently psychic to hear the roaring waters of the Colo rado come tumbling over the government dam in the Grand Canyon and spread its blanket of moisture over the vast acres of desert that have awaited the coming of the water wagon ever since Noah made his memorable voyage.
 The Volsted Act added in- suit to injury, and made the desert drier, but since the recent election we are on our way to peace, happiness, prosperity and water-for the star of hope illumes the way along the right of way of the Santa Fe, for word has just come up from Phoe-- nix that our railroad had just handed our new senator a million bucks, and Colonel Ripley stood hitched to rip off another million, to be be used as a preliminary chaser to build a camp on the Bright Angel trail and get in the winters wood, preparatory to throwing the dam across the refractory Colorado-when the appro- priation comes.
