ing. When one remembers that poor
old arizona has been pretty nearly
down and out financially: that the
cattlemen, through no fault OF their
own, have been busted, and sheepmen
likewise, and also copper men and
cotton men in the South, it is prob
able that nothing else that could be
thought of would so quickly put Ari-

or so quickly reduce general taxes.
or quickly increase funds available
for school purposes, for road build

of development, as the discovery OF
oil.

work in this territory prepared to
spend their own real money in try

nately, there is minimum amount

area is in the making, now is the
time for everybody to boost.

optimistic estimates az to the future

optimistic estimates az to the future
oil field of this section.
In this territory is located the
biggest oil structure in the United
States, and probably in the world.
1t has an area of many hundred
square miles. The Standard Oil has
so far progressed with its prepara-
tory work as to warrant the expecta-
ton that the oil world will be aston
ished at results in the course of the
next year or so.'
In the vicinity of Holbrook itself,
the most important event of the year
probably was the spudding in of the
Taylor Fuller Well on Thanksgiving
Day. This well, with a thoroughly
up-to-date equipment of standard
machinery, is now drilling on what
is known as Higgins Dome, and while
the well has encountered numerous
difficulties owing to the character of
the formation, drilling is steadily
going forward and the management
announces that it is prepared finan-
cially and otherwise to go to depth
of four thousand feet if necessary to
make a test at this point.
The Adamana we'll has been over
coming their difficult drilling and
finishing jobs, has been keeping at
it" steadily, and is now nearing
point where many experienced oil
men who visit the well believe they
are nearing production. 1t would be
a foolish man who would attempt to
propresy concerning the particular
time when well may or may not be
brought in. But the writer is of the
opinion that by early summer the
immediate area south of Holbrook
and Winslow will be added to the list
of commercial producing regions of
the United States The people of
Winslow and vicinity should be es-
pecially impressed with the fact that
during the past few weeks some very
important geological exploration has
been going on, and while the writer
believes that the first producing wells
will be brought in comparatively near
to Holbrook, he is also of the opinion
that Winslow will be profoundly af-
fected by developments which may
take place in this great area.
One interesting statement to be
made in connection with the resume
of the year is that there have been,
SO ldt hAOWI, ~ dVCA OC 0ONOAOR-
ments in this field. While progress
has been aggravatingly slow to those
who are anxious to see an oil we'll
brought in, "right now" the big fact
stands out that there has not been a
single unfavorable development, and
no well has been abandoned as
dry hole On the other hand, no well
has yet drilled deep enough in this
immediate vicinity to reach the sands
where the biologists believe that oil
will be found.
If the writer of this article may
be allowed, by the editor, to add a lit
tie exhortation, he would like to say
in conclusion, that the time has come
for the knockers to put away their
hammers and for everybody to boost
1t may be fact, as an old residentert
recently said, Il have been here for
thirty-five years and amt seen no
oil yet;" but that fact is not very
conclusive concerning the possibili-
ties, and since the oil men of the ma
ton are beginning to turn their eyes
in this direction and are beginning
to believe that a great Oil field is
about to be brought in. 1t behooves
the citizens of this part of the world,
everyone of whom will profit by the

IL steadily going down in the dir
ection where the oil sands are be-
lieved to be. The management has
nothing to sell either in the form
of stock or acreage, the we'll hav-
ing been financed from outside
capital. But we do want the peo-
pie of Winslow and Holbro0k to
know that while we are on the job,
and after oil, we have very deep
interest in the welfare of Arizona
in General and in Winslow and
Holbrook in particular. And this
ad is placed in the paper not in the
hope of getting anything in return,
but simply as a general evidence
of goodwill.

stated and he was then restored to
good standing. Remer declared the
situation became so bad that most of
the athletes did not care whether
they competed or not, or whether
they won or not.
But 1t is not necessary to resurrect
the entire mass of testimony. conten-
tion and argument which made such
mess in the months following the
return of our representatives. Tho
point is that our athlete is treated
particularly well. He is looked after
like thoroughbred horse. Whatever
may be the propriety of this, it is
a fact and must be faced. because no
athletes can be sent abroad under
any conditions of living and training
that differ materially from those to
which they are accustomed here.

the proper conditions. both in the
