Next May, when the national

dental to taking the team to the
Windy City, it is likely a small ad-
mission will be charged at all games
played by the local team this season..
Perth Amboy's team made a good
showing in the 1922 national cham=

misfortune to pick as its first upon

margin. The Perth Amboy team
scored thirty-six points IN three
games, the Pittsburgh nationa4

only six points which proved the
strength OF the local team.
Although there is no way to tell
as yet how the 1923 team will COM

Daniel A. Boiling of New York accompanied by his family arrived in Holbrook early this week. It is his intention to make this town his place of residence for the ensuing year. He had visited Dr. s. Earl Taylor here during the past season and found the climate so be- neficial that he decided upon a longer visit.
 The family. which includ- es seven children, will oc- cupy the Chamberlin house, in the west part of town. Dr. Boiling was one of the best known Chaplains dur ing the Great War, and is also distinguished as a writ CT. His keen appreciation of the unusual in scenery may be the cause of his uti- lizing some of his skill in depicting t he strange sights of this little known country.

WELL ON HIGGINS DOME WILL BE STARTED BY DECEMBER FIFTEENTH
 Taylor Interests Have Machinery On Way

When Dr. s. Earl Taylor returned to Holbrook this week he had completed all arrangements for .commenc- ing of the we'll on the Higgins Dome property. The machinery has been ship ped, and barring train wrecks, will be on the ground at an early date. The drill ing will commence on or be- fore the fifteenth of Decem- Der.
 This news is of great in- terest to all of Holbrook. The location of the we'll on the Higgins Dome within sight of town gives promise of great benefit to the com munity itself. Oil developed in such close proximity to the city limits would mean unparalled prosperity for its citizens.
 As soon as the machinery arrives it will be placed as rapidly as possible and the work of drilling will be rush. ed.
 The fact of the successful drilling of the we'll at Ship rock and the high grade of oil discovered there gives impetus to the interest in this field. ,..-
 From many points of view this is a much more desir- able location on account of it's nearnesS to adequate transportation and Will give wider scope to the investor because it is not handicap ped by being on an Indian Reservation than will the Shiprock field.
 Dr. s. Earl Taylor's confi- dence in the future of this section is evidenced by his untiring efforts in securing proper means for develop ment. The drilling of the Higgins Dome Well is a con- summation devoutly hoped for by all the citizens of Holbrook, and is now to be- come a reality.

WOMAN HELD ON
 U. 5. CHARGE

Maybelle Cramer was ar rested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff J. B. Fox and Fed eral Agent Ed Rice on re- quest from Phoenix, Ari- zona, where Deputy Fox says she is wanted on a Fed eral grand jury indictment charging her with forgery of American Railway Ex- press money orders.
 Fox stated that in 1919 Mrs. Cramer's husband was the agent of the American Railway Express and that following his departure sev- eral blank travellers checks were missing. Later, he said, several of these checks were passed at Holbrook, Arizona, bearing denomina- tions of $50 each and were signed Eva Jane Lewis. On January 19, this year, she was arrested and held for Arizona. Deputy Fox said she went to Governor Stephens office with her husband and seven-year-old baby girl.
 Governor Stephens, after listening to the evidence, refused togrant extradition. It was stated that the mat: ter was then taken to the Federal courts and that she was indicted by the Federal grand jury.
 She was arrested by the police at Inglewood Acres. - Los Angeles Examiner. It will be remembered that this was the case in which Gov. Stephens refused Atty. T. R. Greer's request for ex- tradition. The final result has most certainly justified the stand taken by the at- torney, and Gov. Stephens will have to bow to the au- thority of the Federal Gov ernment.

SCHOOL NOTES

The football game xhere last Saturday was a very ex- citing contest. The score was 10 to 2 in favor of Win slow, but up to the end it was anybody's game. The boys did splendid work and we are proud of them. This contest puts Holbrook's team up among the best in North ern Arizona.
 Next Saturday, Nov. 4 the Eager Hi School Team from RoundN Valley will meet with the Holbrook Team on the local baseball grounds. It promises to be a good game and noon should miss it who can possibly get there.
 The attendance in the Holbrook Schools this year is very gratifying. There are 258 pupils in attendance which is a 30 per cent great CT attendance than at the same time last year. In order to show the growth of the school and the greater interest taken in education it might be well t note in this connection that this attend ance is AT per cent greater than that at any time dur ing the school term two years ago.
 MT. Hookway was elected a member of the Holbrook School Board at the election held last Saturday.

BUSY BILL BRINGS
 BACK BACON

Tony writers say that al- liberation is no good. But just the same it is justified this time for it expresses in a few trenchant words just exactly what we wanted to say. It points the moral of the tale that if you want a thing well done you must do it yourself. Bill Franklin has been selling cars so fast that he had none on hand most of the time, so he jumped on the train the other day and went down to Phoenix and argued with the heads of the business there to the effect that it was their duty to supply the cars at least as fast as he could sell them. They saw the light and now he has three carloads of cars to sell. That is going some, but we know it wont take him long. Incidentally he took in the Fair and when we asked him what he saw he said he saw a lady get hurt. It developed that ih , lady in question tried to make a parachute jump, and was too heavy and came down too soon, which is a lesson to us never to try a parachute until we have re- duce3.
