WERE YOU TRIMMED
 AT THE CIRCUS !?

Of all the disciples of the great unwashed; the bunny and the crum- by of the graftsr gentry that struck HolbroOk last Sunday with the Gen. try circus took the cake and any thing else that was not chained down.
 There were gamblers and crooks. and fakirs and buns, and grimmy old icons" looking for crumbs. There were dough-faced chickens. There crusty old crooks that live off the suckers that take their hooks.
 The lemonade hawkers that walk ed over your corns needed spraying; all the male attendants needed a bath and shave; the nigger band only had one tune and that was jazz ed out; many funny clowns were suf- fering from the ''pip" and the off, cial announcer had carbuncle on his neck and has missed connections with his laundry bundle for many moons
 The coon trio in the side show made maudlin noise while two stick up men went through the gullble with a roulette wheel that always stopped in the wrong place until Sheriff Harp stopped the whole works .---s
 The dogs and the ponies and the elephants and the monkeys were we'll trained and deserved a better at- mosphere than hangs around them, and we trust for their sake suffi- cient patronage was accorded the outfit in Holbrook to afford a good cleanup for their bosses when the bunch strikes enough water that will father.

an accomplished fact. Geology, al- though in it's infancy, is a science which has already accomplished much and prevented many an effort of barren result.
 Geologically speaking, the Holbrook Field affords the basis of the most optimistic hopes, the large sealed structure, which is udeniable; the proper formation, and indeed the one in which the largest bodies of oil have been found heretofore, ad- mits of no argument in this respect. The question to be determined is in which of the geological strata com mercial deposits will be encountered The Mississippian, it is logical to believe, will carry the oil in this field. The Hopi well, insofar as our information may guide us, stopped drilling at a point where the pene- tration of this strata was imminent; neither the Adamana, nor the Hol- brook, have as yet reached the depth at which the Hopi ceased drilling.
 Altogether, the showing of gas in the we'll of the Adamana company, is coroborative evidence of the pre- concieved geological expectations as to the productivenesspf the Holbreok Field and is of such an encouraging nature that no doubt the Adamana company will use all efforts to push the well to the required depth as rapidly as possible, with the reason able expectation of a commercial we'll.
 Those present at the demonstra- tion were, Geologist Major, Mark Bryan of the Holbrook Tribune. Sims Ely of the Holbrook State Bank, Jack Warden and Frank Meme of the Holbrook Oil Co, R. s. Teeple. Manager Cook of the Adamana A. A. Jordan of the Zuni, and the editor of the News.

POLITICAL POT POURRI
 PLAIN AND A LA MODE

Against the advice and judgment of the majority an attempt. is being made to deliver the organization of the republicans of this county to a certain candidate for congress, and word has been passed along that it will be delivered. But there is many slip between a political pro- mise and a fulfillment. Roosevelt. the ideal of the square shooter says: Dishonest and misleading leadership is curse anywhere, but nowhere is it a greater curse than in the machin- cry of a political party. If there is one lesson which I would rather teach my fellow Americans than any other, it is to hound down such man, and to brush him aside with impatient contempt; hunt him down without regard to elass; and if he belongs to your class, hunt him down a little quicker"

ADAMANA WELL
 ENCOUNTERSGAS
he First Substantial Evidence of the Bringing in of a Productive Field Arouses the Interest of the Entire Southwest and a New Impetus Is Given Holbrook, the Center of Ariz0na's Coming Industry.

The Holbrook oil field gave the first outward signs this week of what is really contained more than two thousand feet below the surface, and Holbrook and the entire state were stirred by the reports comirg in from the Holbrook oil field.
 Real estate speculation was rife Operators in the field were in high spirits as the glad tidings were flashed out on the wires that the Hoibrook field was coming in-and it is.
 There is no boom and the en- countering of gas is only direct evi- dence of what may be expected when the wells now drilling attain proper depth.
 Gas has been encountered in the Adamana we'll, of this there is no doubt, as evidenced in demonstra- tion at the we'll Wednesday before several interested spectators, of whom the editor of the News was one.
 The gas comes through a column of water, which, we understand, is some 800 or 900 feet deep in the well, and it's escape through small opening in plug at the top of the hole, is plainly audible.
 The character of the gas is deter mined by the fact that the applica- tion of flame ingites the gas to an appreciable extent. It is argued that the volume of air escaping with the gas prevents larger area of flame.
 However, as stated, sufficient ignites to prove the character of the gas, and this is probably the most encouraging showing that has been made in drilling to date, although the present depth of the we'll, some thing like 21o0 feet, is not sufficient to warrant the expectation of com mercial oil at this footage.
 Geologist Charles Edward Major, who was one of the party at the de- monstration, stated, to the editor of the News that in his opinion the showing was encouraging and war rants the anticipation of a produc- tive field.
 The present depth of the we'll is comparatively short distance above what is known as the Mississippian formation, in or under which com mercial oil may be reasonably ex- pected to exist.
 We are advised that casing has been ordered, on the arrival of which the strong flow of water will be cased off. After this it should be but a comparatively short time before the drill is in the Mississippian forma- tion.
 We have nq' doubt, but that with sufficient depth, the long and conf dentIy expected production will be

The survey of this road has been completed from Winslow, leav- ing the Winslow- HoIbrook road just west of the Cottonwood wash going north on the line of the Fur and Feather road to just south of Johns Draw, a distance of 2S miles.
