". ". FRANKLIN CLOSES DEAL FOR STAR
 AGENCY

This last week w. w Franklin sought warmer climes and during his stay in Phoenix closed the deal whereby he becomes local agent for the new Star auto mobile.

 The Star is a low priced car of super-eXcellent quality and it's arrival here is await ed with a great deal of in- tereSt as so far none of them have been displayed in Hol- brook. Mir. Franklin expects a carload lot of them in a. bout December 25 and then the many inquirers who are interested in examining the fine points of its excellent motor and we'll equipped body will be welcome to give 1t the once over.
 MT. Franklin has moved his office to a room adjoining the Commercial Hotel and will have the new cars on display there.

MACHINERY FOR TAYLOR-FULLER
 WELL ON WAY

A second carload of mach. inery for the Taylor-Fuller We'll has been ordered and since bill of lading has been received, no doubt the car will reach here very shortly.
 An order is now being made up at the local offices of the company for a third carload of machinery and materials to be used at the well. Together with other things a quantity of 12 1-2 inch casing has been order ed which will be required after the water is cased off.
 Since his return from the Coast Dr. Taylor has been extremely busy as there are many matters connected with the we'll which demand his constant attention. The men are working steadily and the electric lights continue to burn nightly on the ninety foot tower which overlooks our town.

 A map of this district shows the oil derricks fairly crowding e.ch other for standing room and most of them are large producers. The whole country in and a. round Los Angeles is dotted with these fields, Richfeld, Fullerton, Oiinda, Brea Can yon, Puente Hills, Monte bello, Signal Hill, and many others are among the num- Der. In the future Los An geles bids for fair to be termed. not "The City of Angels" but "The City of Oil".
 Holbrook situated as 1t is in the center of many loca- tions ind.clted by expert geologists as extremely favorable for the discovery of oil may soon find this same future confronting it. Knowing the men who be- lieve in the ultimate future of this HoIbrook Field we can only say that we also believe in it most strongly.

ENCOURAGING NEWS FROM
 ADAMANA OIL < LAND 60.
Heat Increasing As Drill Descends Good
 Indication

The people of Navajo County and the entire State of Arizona have a good right to be happy the coming new year, for the splendid work that is being done in the Holbrook Oil Field by the Adamana Company.
 For four years, this Com pany has resolutely fought the ups and down and the hard luck of every nature, incident to a pioneer or wild cat field, but it has never faltered, so sincere was the belief of the management in ultimate substantial produc- tion. This belief was not based on a "hunch" but up- on the best scientific advice from many eminent geolo- gists.
 The Adamana is drilling lon Section Four, Township Fourteen North, Rang e Twenty East, upon what is known as the Great Anti cline, and is located upon a cross-fold and dome on this structure. It encountered some time ago, a consider able gas flow which has been cased off, has passed through

Juan Field. The we'll is now again gassing freely with constantly increasing show ings of free oil, and there is good reason to believe that the drill is very close to the Mendenhall Sand, which is the heavy producer in the San Juan Field. A pro- nounced shell stratum was cut at 2725 to 2730, and this is very encouraging. The bit is now in a very dark shale, almost black, and the hole is growing hotter with every screw. In Texas the temperature of a we'll is the driller's best evidence of ap- preaching production, and it is said that a cold hole is almost always a duster, while a hot hole generally.
 The machinery at the Ada mana has been thoroughly over-hauled, the band wheel rebuilt, and is now thirty per cent more efficient than before. While the Officers of the Company believe that they will have production within a very short distance, they make no positive state ment to this effect, but say they are prepared to go to 320O feet or better, if neces- sary.

The Holbrook news., 1922-12-22

Dr. s. Earl Taylor, who has just returned from a trip to Los Angeles, al- though hurried by a busi- ness, still found time to make a short expedition through some of the nearby oil fields.
 Dr. Taylor says that con- ditions are almost unbelleve- ably good there and it is the greatest encouragement in the world those who are en- deavoring to prove the Hol' brook Field to know that such enormous rewards are possible upon the successful completion of their task. The saturation of the oil sands in this district may be such as to produce many of these fortune making wells in the near future.
 In speaking of the Signal Hill Oil Field near Long Beach, Dr. Taylor said;
 "Itis a very wonderful sight to see the hundreds and hund reds of derricks which are so close together that they look like a forest. But l was especially interested to learn, through one of the men who is drilling there, that they estimate from pre- sent production and from the depth of the sands, that there is SPA, 00,00O worth of oil in that field under each eighty acre plot. This gives one a rather vivid idea of the enormous value of a real ly productive oil field.
 We hear a great deal a. bout people who lcse money in oil, and hear less about those who have made money. Of course, Calf. is full of both classes. But 1 was in-

Santa Claus Has Sent Word He Will Be
 Here In Person

The local organization of the Elks known as Antler's Club will be ace high with all the younger generation this week for they have been the recipients of a letter straight from the North Pole in which old Kris Kring- le most emphatically states that he will be in Holbrook without fail on Christmas Day. He says that he would n't miss the big Community Christmas Tree which the Elks will have here that afternoon for any amount of money. The members are hearing from him every evening by radio and he says that he is getting his Christ mas work we'll along and will be here right or the dot. So you see this Christmas Tree is bound to be a huge success.
 MT. John Brown of Cooley has taken it upon himself to select and cut down the big tree which is to do duty at the Drug Store corner this year and Major Shipley with the aid of the Apache Ky. will see that it arrives here in first class condition. We heard that old Santa had told the Elks about all good things that there will be on the tree for each child in Holbrook, but we won't tell exactly what the old gentle man is planning as the sur prise is half the fun. How ever we do know this. There is going to be some mighty fine singing there at the tree and and a short program to welcome the Elks guests and to make old Santa Claus feel right at home. We know that the men are sparing no trouble or expense to make this Christmas the best ever and Santa is with them heart and soul.
 The tree will be. ready at 2::30 in the afternoon of Christmas Day and every body in town is most cordial ly invited to be present. Anyone who misses the good time has only himself to blame. Santa Claus will be there and we know there isn't a kiddie in town who will willingly miss seeing him. Don't forget the hour, 2::30 sharp!

TARIFF ON WOOL
IS PROTESTED

The National Association of Re
tail Clothiers has put the right
sort of kick in its campaign
against the proposed increase in
the tariff on imported raw wool
Of 33 cents pound.
President Frankel and his asso-
ciates are out to defeat the wool
schedule which they maintain
would cause decided increase in
the price of colthes and they have
adopted the same means to accom-
plish this objective as they do to
dispose OF merchandise. elm other
words they are inaugurating an
intensive advertising campaign In
the newspapers. This will extend
from Maine to California and will
show the people how much of an
added burden any additional tariff
on the importation of the raw pro-
duct in woolen materials wou.d
be.
To make it easy for the mem
bership to coopei ate in the cam
paign series of seven display ad-
yertisements outlining the objec-
tions to an excessive tariff have
been mailed to the 5000 members
of the association, ready for in
sertion in their local newspapers.
There is no mincing of words
in the advertisements, each one
comes right out flatfooted and
asks everyone who wishes to see
the proposed wool tariff defeated
to write his senator and congress
man and tell them that 33 cents a |
pound duty is too high.

added. "The government itself
