HARVARD WINS

The unofficial American football c h a ampionship,- played off by Harvard and Oregon at Pasadena New Years day, resulted in a vic- tory for Harvard by a score of 2 to 6. The game in de- tail shows a hotly contested both teams knowing they had been in a scrim- mage when it ended. To those who have backed liar yard the closeness of the score and the game battle put up by Oregon was more or less of a shock.

A REAL GOOD TIME

An old fashioned Christ mas celebration was had Fri day night last at the Wm. Lee home, dancing a n d games being indulged in and a bountifuI luncheon being served to the lucky partici- pants of the evenings enjoy ment. Music for the occa- sion was furnished by Mrs. Rowena Woods and Mr. John Blevins which is a guarantee that it was real music suited to the occasion. Much mistletoe was in evil dence and it is said that some of the gentlemen pre- sent took full cognizance of the opportunities presented by the little branch. In any event, the evening was voted by all present to be most en- joyable and a good criterion of the wholesome joyousness perVading the hearts of man. kind at Yuletide.

HEAR YE-W. J. BRYAN
 GRAVES YOUR ATTENTION

One of thsinteresting news items of the week is that our old friend, William Jennings Bryan, is to start, January 18th, on a speech-making tour of these United States to advise the democrats what should be contained in their platform for 1920. Inas- much as the democratic party needs no advice, but suffers dictation, it is to be assumed that friend William Jennings is to size up what he consid- CTS his chances for the 1920 nomination for the presi- dency. One cannot justly say this is an attempted "come back" " for, as the old darkey said "He'snever been away"
 As a perpetual candidate Mir. Bryan can, without ques- ton, take the blue ribbon in in the history of American politics. It must have been aggravating to William Jen- nings, when, as secretary of state, he could peek over the fence and see the coveted presidential chair withneith- CT the president or vice-presi- dent showing any signs of resigning or being inn peached. We make a pro- phecy that as the second heir apparent, when secretary of state, MT. Bryan got as close to wearing the democratic crown of thorns as he will ever get.

 The usual excellent music was furnished by the Waters orchestra. Many sleepy eyes New Years day gave mute testimony of many of the usual sleeping hours spent in dancing, but it was with no regret that the sleepily inclined reviewed the count less terpsichorean steps of the night before, and the sleepy orbs lighted with plea sant rememberances when the occasion was mentioned.

INDIAN CHILDREN ARE
 AWARDED S5.OOO EACH

The Phoenix Gazette of Dec. 18th says:
 After having under ad- visement since Sept. 9 the distribution of the estate of Curt Kronemeyer, Jud g. e Andrew s. Gibbons of the Apache county superior court has rendered his decision, ac- cording to word received to- day by Assistant United States Attorney J. H. Lang ston
 The decision holds that two part Indian childrenof Kron- emeyer, whose heirship was defended by Assistant United States Attorneys Langston and Holub, should receive $5, 900 each, the message said. The children were claimed to have been born on the Apache reservation in this state, where their father and mother had a trading post.
 The children's claim to the estate was contested by So- phie and Emily Kronemeyer and Hermine Meyerling, resi- dents of Germany, claiming to be sisters of the trader. The sisters were held by the court to be heirs to the re- mainder of the estate, said to havea total value of about $40, 900. The case had been in the courts three years.

Theinterest amount to $475, ,OOO, 900 per year, but Secretary Glass be- Iieves that while the rate of exchange is so adverse to foreign countries demand for it's payment should not be made. Mr. Glass also con- tends that if immediate pay ment were insisted upon it would result in mot only seriously retarding economic restoration of those coun- tries but also destroying their power to make pur- chases in our markets. :" Many republicans are of the opinio n that Americans should not be taxed that huge amount annually mere ly to assist in restoring the Old World. They claim that our own economic restora- tion will be retarded to just that extent if we do not re- ceive the money due us.

MERCHANT MARINE HEARINGS
 START JAN. 12.
 Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington, chairman of the Commerce Committee, announces that his commit tee will begin hearings Jan. 18th on general ship policy legislation. It is the inten- tion to take up at that time the ssyarious proposals that have been submitted dealing with the transfer of the huge merchant marine fleet now owned by the government to private interests. It is the concensus of opinion that the Federal government should not continue in the business of operating mer- chant ships, but just how completely it should divest itself of control over the fleet now owned by it is a  question on which there are many differing opinions. Senator Jones intends to hear all sides of the con troversy and reach a con- clusion that will be just to all parties concerned. The problem is second only in it's importance to the railroad bill just passed by the Senate WOULD REDUCE GOVERNMENT
 USE OF PRINT PAPER
 Chairman SteenersOn of the House Post Office com mittee has introduced a reso- lution in the House calling upon the government de- partments to report what re- ductions in the use of print paper can be made by their establishments. Specific in- quiry is made as to whether a ten per cent cut would be too severe. In view of the immense quantity of paper that is used in the publica- ton of the periodicals issued by nearly every bureau, and which have been charged to be largely propaganda, it would appear that MT. Steen- erson's estimate of ten per cent is a very modest one.

 The cost of census taking has gone up like every other item that enters into the ex- penses of government. The director of the census has asked Congress for an addi- tional appropriation of $2,t $50, 900 for taking the four teenth decennial census next year.

stagnation events are so sh a ping themselves that early and accelerated activ- ity in the Holbrook field may be looked for in the very near future. Matters which have been the subject of much speculation also will un- doubtedly be definitely de- cided to the benefit of oper- ations in the field.
 As is necessarily the case not a great deal in the way of development can be stated over and above that which has been recently published, to the effect that certain com panies are. or are not drill- ing. However, matters in hand point to large opera tions being started in the near future, both by com panies now in the field and by new interests.
 A matter of much inter- est during the week is the affidavit of J. B. Wakefield of Taylor, who states that he was present during the drawing of the casing from the Hopi we'll at the time the Wind River company ceased its operations in the Hopi hole. Mir. Wakefield states that on several joints of the casing, both inside and out side, he noticed oily, greasy substance, in some instances as large as a hens egg, which he is firmly convinced was oil. He further states that several of those present on the job stated it Hooked good to them" The appear ance of this oily substance, stated to be oil, was at a depth approximately 2300 feet.
 Another coroborative evi- dence is the recent tests made of Adamana drillings, which have been found with out question to have an oil content when subjected to chloroform test.
 All these matters, while not surprising to those who have been interested in de- velopment, showconclusively that there is oil in the HOl- brook field and that it re- mains for the drill to deter mine the quantity, which, it is conceded, will be vast.
 Indications and the straws blown by the winds of recent endeavor conclusively show that the management of the Hopi company are more than ever convinced of successful conclusion of exploration, as it is known they are contin- ually acquiring land and that matters are on tapis which would indicate largely in- creased operations.
 The Holbrook Oil Com pany continues to drill now that the big stem is back making better time than re- gently possible. Within the next 300 feet indications of very favorable nature, while not certain are very probable. The big rig is working satis- factorily and the manage ment making effort to make good time.

MILLIONS FOR NEW SCHOOLS.

Religious leaders I'm America are
watching with interest the struggle go
ing on In Japan between the military
and the progressive parties, accord
Ing TO DR.. J.. ii. Scott, Of the American
Baptist Foreign Mission Society who
is preparing to return to Japan after q
years furlough. For twenty-seven
years DR.. Scott has been in the Flow
cry Kingdom and II is partly on his
recommendation that the Baptists
have decided TO spend a million and
a half dollars there between now and
April 1924.
Over 100000 will be invested in the
Mabie Memorial School at Yokohama,
while $4,000 600 will go to the Christian
college at the same place. Practically
every dollar Of the appropriation for
Japan will be used for educational pur-
poses except 100000 set apart for ff.
teen church buildings.
In the present cabinet. largely made
up Of progressives, DIR. Scott sees the
final overthrow OF ~autocracy and mill
tarism. Old policies are giving way In
the face OF the modern ideas OF the
young men and women OF japan.
many Of whom are Chrisiiane, educated
In the Christian colleges that have
sprung up In Japan within the last
fifty years, he says.
1--WE owe to this progressive anti
militaristic party our strongest moral
support, and every assistance Ia the
mission effort in Japan will be IA direct
contribution 10 the cause OF peace and
hasten the coming of the day when the
military spirit and the autocratic pol
icy will be no more" said DR.. Scott.
Japan will lead the Far East In com
merce, industry and invention as we'll
as In education and art" he added,
"but there Is a still greater mission
for Japan and that is as a leader In
the principles OF truth. liberty and
righteousness. Not many years ago
she was in the grip Of a despotic
feudal system. She had a cruel caste
system under which the man Of lower
caste had no more rights than a dog.
That has been done away with. Her
people once had no religious rights and
her women once were mere chattels.
Wonderful reforms have been accom-
plished but lone more pronounced
than the granting OF religious freedom
10 the people and the recognition OF
women as equals with men,"
According 10 DR.. Scott, japan has
been unable TO build schools fast
enough. Ninety-seven per cent Of the
children OF school age are being edu.
Gated. Industrial schools have opened
and yearly turn out hundreds of grad
yates. In Osaka more han 1000 girls
were graduated last year.
