SAM KEE, CHINESE, QUITE ILL

"Sam" Kee, an old time Chinese resident of Hol- brook, is quite ill. A doctor has been in attendance, and it is thought that owing to Kee's advanced age, it may be difficult for him to fully recover.
 Sam" is a real old timer in this vicinity; has made a good citizen, and is W e l l thought of by all who know him. It has been reported at various times that he is quite wealthy. Sans" family is divided in location. A part of them are in China, while a boy and girl are said to be in England.

Truthful

In Boston they tell of a Dr. Reed who, in his time, was one of the prominent physicians of that city. His large practice includ ed many patients outside the c i t y limits and these he visited in his buggy.
 One day, it appears, Dr. Reed bought a new horse, with which he was greatly pleased until he discovered that the beast had an insur- mountable objection to brid- ges of all kinds and could not be made to cross one. Now, inasmuch as at that period it was necessary to cross certain bridges in order to reach any one of the sur rounding towns. the doctor decided to sell the horse. He did not think it at all neces- sary to mention the animals peculiarity, but was much too honest to misrepresent him. Accordingly. after due cogitation, he inserted in 9 local paper the following advertisement:
 "For Sale - A chestnut horse, warranted sound and kind The only reason for selling is that the owner is obliged to leave Boston. Philadelphia Ledger,

OIL PRODUCTION DOUBLES
 IN SINGLE DECADE

Here are figures that speak fol
 themselves. The worlds oi
 production in 1904 was 2l8. 204, 900 barrels and in 1910 it had in creased to BPS. 0O0,O00 barrels.
 The war demand jumped produc-
 tion to sos. 687. GOO barrels in 1917
 and the 1920 production was of- icially estimated at 6S8, 474. 900
 barrels. In other words, the the worlds production of oil has more than doubled in the decade closing last year. The produc- tion of crude petroleum in the United States back in 1904 was only 117,O81.OO0 barrels. By 1910 this production had grown to 2O9. 557, GOO barrels and in 1917 amounted to 335, 3l6, 900 barrels. 1920 production is placed by the U. s. Geological Survey at 442, 402, GOO barrels. Consumption in the United States did not ex- ceed production in 1911. In that year the consumption was 2lI, 900, GOO barrels and the produc- tion 22O. 449, GOO barrels. In 1916 however, our consumption of pe- troleum exceeded production by almost 19,OOO,OO0 barrels. Dur Ing 1920 the consumption of crude petroleum in the U. $. a. mounted to 53I, ,186, GOO barrels and our production was only 443 402, GOO barrels. Hence. we say that the United States is prob ably dependent upon imports to meet the enormous consumption needs, Evidently there is big demand for oil right here in

August 17th, 1921 Mir. C. c. Compton,
 Flagstaff, Arizona.
 My dear Compton:
 Your letter of August 10th received; but it is going to be very hard for me to answer it; that is, in the way of informa- tion. Of course, you know. since the rains all the roads have been in very bad condition and have been commented on very freely by the tourists.
 The roads out of Holbrook in every direction are in fair condi- tion; but as to routing tourists either east or west, 1 do not feel qualified to recommend any one certain road for all times. An- other reason Is that 1 am parti- eularly busy at this time and do not travel the roads frequently. Now as to recommending some reliable party or merchant to which you could refer the tour ist, I would say that the Cham Der of Commerce at Winslow and the Chamber of Commerce at Holbrook would be the best reli- able information.
 Assuring you that am always willing to help you when 1 can, and with the best regards, 1 am
 Yours very truly,
 R. L. Newman.

DISABLED VETERANS
 'TEN-SHUN!

the claims of all disabled ex. service men, whether fol compensation, in S urance, vocational training or medi-
 cal treatment and attention,
 a Travelling Contact Unit,
 from the District Office of
 the newly created Veterans
 Bureau at San Francisco,
 together with the Arizona representative of the Bureau will cover seven towns in this State during the month of September.
 They will operate on the following schedule: Tucson Sept. 14th and 18th; Bisbee, the 16th and 17th; Phoenix, the 18th and 20th; Prescott, the 21th and 22nd; Holbrook the 23rd; WinsIow, the 24th; and Kingman, the 26th.
 All ex-service men and women who are suffering from a disability incurred in or aggravated by the service who have not put in a claim for same with the Govern ment, should make it a point to see this Contact Unit, for they will be able to secure expert assistance and advice in filing their claims, which willreceive prompt attention The same thing applies to those who have filed claims but have found action lagg- ing.
 For those living in the towns which will be covered by this Unit, the procedure is simple : all they need to do is to keep in touch with the local papers, some of the welfare organizations of the American Legion, and they will be kept fully in- formed as to where the Unit will have its headquarters in the town. For those liv- ing in places other thanithose to be visited by the Unit, it will be necessary to write to "Veteran Cleanup Campaign Committee, 240 Flood Build ing, San Francisco, Califor- nia," giving name in full; address; former organiza- tion while in the service; number of compensation claim, if one has been filed; full statement of facts upon which the claim is based; the place where you can meet the squad covering Arizona; the name of railroad or stage line over which you will travel; and the date you will leave. If the facts in your case as disclosed by your letter warrant an interview, transportation will then be furnished you to the town in which the Contact Unit will appear nearest to your home town.
 This is the golden opport- unity for those who have cause to file a claim. to do so and to secure the most rapid action possible, a n d for those with tagging claims to accelerate action there on. The personnel of the Con- tact Unit will contain a re- presentatlve of the vocation al Training Board, a Repre- sentative of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance for cas- es of compensation and in- surance, and Public Health Service doctors to attend to the medical end of the pro- position.
 Everybody knowing of ex- service men or women suffer ing from a disability con tracted in the service, should as a matter of duty t a k e pains to see that they are informed of this exceptional opportunity for presenting their claims in person to re- presentatives of the Govern ment qualified to render them every assistance in

ABOUT ROUTING OF TOURISTS

 MT. Lee Newman Friend Lee:
 1 have charge of the camp grounds in Flagstaff. 1 have so many complaints from the tourists about being rout- ed over the roads out of Hol- brook; 1 wish you would let me know some reliable party or merchant to refer them to who is not interested in certain routes. They tell me men are hired to send tourists over certain roads, and they say it sends them out of their way. So if 1t is not to much trouble let me know.
 Best wishes to your family from mine.

COFFEE MARKET Rv Ass0eiated Press


 ; New York, September 7.-The market for coffee futures showed renewed steadiness during today's early trading. The opening was three to seven points higher on the better Brazilian cables, and trade in- terests were credited with covering hedges against sales of coffee for the interior during the morning. This sent December contracts up to 7.65c. or IS points net higher and ment, making an advance of ap- proximately se points from the low levels of last month. There appeared to be more realizing at these figures and there were reactions of several points later, with the market clos ing to 13 points net higher. Sep tember closed at 719c; October, 7.31c: December, 754c; January, l7.66c: March, 7s7c; May, s.oSc; July, iS.17c.
 Spot coffee was reported in good demand at s7sc for Rio Is and io% c to, II 1ac for Santos As. Cost and freight offers were, about un- changed, including Santos Is, at 11.25c to 11.75c, American credits
 The official cables reported an ad : vance of 10 reis in the dollar buying rate. but Rio exchange on London was 1-S2d higher, with the Rio mar ket unchanged to 75 reis higher and Santos 50 to 100 reis higher. Rio cleared 300 for New York, and san tos ls,900 for New Orleans. Brazil ian port receipts, 42.000; Jundiahy receipts, 29,000.

EARLY RISE DID NOT HOLD WELL DURING THE LATER TRADING
December Went Above TWen- ty-one Gents, and Then Dropped Under Twenty
 Gents In Late Trades
By Associated Press

New York, September 7.-The ex- cited general buying which has been the feature in cotton since the publi- catiion of the governments crop re- port last week, led to a further ad- vance of approximately cent and a half pound early today. The de- mand showed signs of subsiding at the new high levels, however, and after selling at 21.S0c for December, the market turned weak under real izing. This became more active as prices worked lower and many stop orders were uncovered with the break extending to 19.S0c for December, where it was stopped by the maxi mum fluctuation rule. Selling con tinued active at the minimum prices and the market closed weak at de- clines of 200 points from the best on all positions and of 12 to AS points as compared with last nights clos ing quotations. The opening was strong at an advance of 172 points on over night buying orders and the continued strength of Liverpool. The more active positions sold 147 to 1SS points net higher right after the call with October touching 21.40c, while spring positions sold above the 22 cent level with May trading at 22.3Sc These prices, representing an advance of S6S points from the low level Of last month on December contracts attracted heavy realizing. however, and the market soon weakened.
 There was continued buying, partly by international houses against sales in Liverpool but the market was very unsettled during the middle or the day and the break later was quite as rapid as the recent advances. Trade advices from Manchester were somewhat disappointing, and some brokers considered the larger spot sales reported in the south late yes terday as indicating an increased dis position to sell, but the break was most generally attributed to weak technical position resulting from the extent and rapidity of the recent ad- vance. The weekly report of the weather bureau indicating further deterioration in crop prospects ap- peared to be without any effect on the market.
 One of the private cables received from Liverpool this morning said that the trading was not following the advance while Manchester re- ported yarns and cloths dearer, but said that buyers were refusing to go on.

DEATH VALLEY MADE SAFER

When the Autor oble club of Gordan Gassaway, in Leslie's.
 Southern California decided that Death Valley was a spot of such overwhelming danger to motorists that it should be fenced off, one of the clubs directors said:
 Why not sign-post it?"
 The suggestion was acted upon favorably, and just the other day the last of. 700 large metal signs was placed in the center of the Val ley of Death.
 conjure with! This lonely little hole out on the eastern edge of Califor- mia, sunk in the earth's surface more than 300 feet below sea-level and the hottest spot on the face of the globe, has been the romantic scena of more stories, fact and fiction. thar were ever turned out by Victor Hugo and Balzac combined.
 In July, August and September Death Valley gasped it's nav open to swallow into it's parched throat what 1t could. Rattlesnakes and otb cr heat-loving reptiles died in the heat Struggling roads across its sands iit- orally curled up and blew away. The wind from the valley scared all the country in it's path. Bones of CO., votes whitened in the blstering sun Wild horses ran here and there foam flecked, searching for water they never found. It. was Inferno on earth.
 Then came the automobile. Intre- pid motorists, brave but foolhardy sought news of Death Valley from the auto club routing bureaus Don't get mixed up with Death Valley warned the club. But motorists die get mixed up with the valley. anc many were the tales which leaked into the newspapers of narrow es. capes from death in the Oven of Hell
 The club sought to prevent autoisti from entering the valley, but th' task was hopeless. Then. because tn, routes circlng the valley, and ever crossing it in places, connected witf great highways leading north ant south and east and west, through Ne vada and northern California t' Southern California. the club decidee that 1t was best to sign-post it.
 Two years have been consumed 1T the task Thirteen hundred signs il, all have been used--700 within thS valley and 600 on the roads approch- | ing it.

VIGOROUS DRIVE
 AGAINST SHORTS
 FEATURED STOCKS
Call Money Opened at Five and One half Per Cent, But Dropped to Five Before
 the Noon Hour
By Associated Press

New York, September I-Ira1lnB in the stock market today was char scterized by another vigorous drive against the shorts, who again cov- cred urgently as the buying move ment attained broader dimensions.
 Most of the days happenings were distinctly helpful to the construc- tive side, embracing such factors as easier call and time money rates. stronger indication of industrial re- vival and B sharp recovery in the leading foreign exchanges.
 The latter development was ascribed to heavy buying of cotton bills by British, French and German interests, this coinciding with an- other furious upturn in cotton .Ip- tions here and abroad
 Oils featured the dealings throughout the session, but the de- mand for steels, equipments, motors and rails was sufficiently large to strengthen the impression that vari ous $ull pools had re-entered the marlkt
 MeNcan Petrolum registered gross 'advance of 6h points to level of nearly 30 points over It's Ie- cent minimum price and affiliated stocks, such as Pan American, As phalt common and preferred, Hous ton and Royal Dutch gained 15z to points. Other strong features com prised Gulf States Steel, Crucible and United States Steels. American and Baldwin Locomotive, Railway Steel Spring, American Car, General Electric, Chandler leading sugars and tobaccos and junior transpocta- tions, especially Soo, and the west ern' and southwestern groups.
 Call money opened at 51s per cent but dropped to 5, per cent before noon. Time loans were made at 5h per cent on all industrial collateral, . concession of F per cent The only exchanges to manifest heavi- ness were the German and Austrian bills, Dutch and Scandinavian re- mittances rallying briskly. Old line investment rails were among the strongest issues or tne broad and strong bond market, convertibles also making additional gains. Lead ing internationals were variably higher, and the Liberty group, all most without exception showed gains on the day. Sales, par value, $12,50O,00Q

Wheat Aduances to
 New High on the
 Present Upturn
By Associated Press

l Chicago, September 7-Wheat fu- lures advanced to a new high level on the present upturn and a new top l on the crop for the May on the board of trade here today The trade was active, with more outside inter- est, and at the high point prices were up as much as 6h cents over the early low with heavy buying by commission houses and the local element on the way up, with stop orders uncovered. May led the ad- vance.
 | The purchase of around 1500, 900 bushels of Australian wheat by h. dia and estimates that the Austra- lian crop would be around 30,000,00 bushels or more short of last year s record were the main bullish influ- ences. The easier tone in cash premiums here and in the east with a slow export demand were ignored by the trade. Final wheat figures were 2h to Az cents higher, while corn ruled E to 1 s cent up, and oats $ to % centc higher Corn advanced Ac to Bc from the early low, but did not maintain all of this. An easier tone was showing early, but the market turned very strong later in sympathy with wheat Trading was not large, and mainly of the local character.
 Oats followed other grains de- clining early, only to advance later. The south was credited with being a good buyer at times, the advance in cotton being a factor.
 | Provisions averaged lower the feature being the buying of January and March lard by houses with east ern connections presumably hedg- ing against sales of cotton seed oil.
