TWO MORE OIL RIGS
IN YUMA COUNTY

According to reports received In
Yuma yesterday, the material for two
more oil derricks has reached Yuma
county and are being unloaded for i'm
mediate erection. One OF these rigs
will be placed on the Andreas Herman
land, nine miles east of Yuma, which
was leased by the. Yuma Valley Oil
company, and theother went to Wray.
1t is supposed that the latter derrick
will be erected on drilling site about
mile east of the county seat near
Olive lake, although no definite in
formation has been received here as
to just where it will be located.
Officials Of the Yuma Valley Oil
company stated yesterday that two
more rigs will be shipped just as soon
as leases around other structures can
be blocked in. One of these structures
lies south OF the location where the
first derrick is to be erected on Yuma
Valley leases, and another near Hyde.
The Hessig Oil company. who have
erected derrick southwest OF Wray
have announced that rigs for the o.
cations near Hyde and southeast OF
Yuma are ready to be shipped as soon
as the land around the drilling sites
can be blocked
The rig builders. who will erect the
derrick nine miles east Of here have
been in town several days and
went down to the location yesterday
to begin work on the foundation. The
derrick will be So feet high and stand
ard tools will be used. Although no
geogogical survey has been made of
the structure, it is thought that oil
will be reached at less than 5000 It.
However. the drilling company is pre-
pared to go considerable deeper il it
is found necessary.
The derrick for the test we'll south
west of Wray has been completed and
the drilling equipment is being set in
place. 1t is thought that the drillers
will "spud in" about the first OF the
month. At the location east OF the
county seat, it is said that a temper
ary rig was set up last week and the
drill sunk TO a depth Of several feet
in order that the company might hold
its leases.
With the we'll southwest of Wray
practically ready to be "spudded in"
and the material for two more rigs on
the ground. and at least two more rigs
ready to be shipped, 1t begins to look
as II NJ. A. Higgins. president OF the
Yuma Valley Oil company. was right
when he recently said that Yuma
would be the scene OF the greatest

Il Proclamation.

WHEREASit is essential to the continued comfort. welfore, and
prosperity of the people of the United States that abundant forests,
widely distributed and maintained in a condition of high productive
ness, be forever wisely conserved as one of our greatest natural
resources; and
WHEREAS, because of our constantly increasing need for wood
and other forest products, together with our past failure to provide
for reforestaton, we are drawing upon our supplies Of timber four
times as fast as they are renewed through growth; and
WHEREAS, the most formidable agency of forest destruction
and prevention of reforestation is fire and, of the fires which annually
devastate vast areas, four-fifths are ascribed in origin to human
agencies and virtually all may the controlled and made innocuous
through prudence, care, and vigilance;
THEREFORE, I, CALVIN COOLIDGE, President of the United
States, do urge upon the Governors of the various States to de-
signate and set apart the week of April 2127, 1924, as Forest Pro-
lection Week, and, wherever practicable and not in conflict with
State law or accepted customs, to celebrate Arbor Day within that
week. I also urge all citizens, either in association r as individuals,
protection of our forests from fire, to the end that, in the future
as in the past, these forests may supply us with wood, protect the
purity of our streams, and otherwise serve the people of the United
States.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, l have hereunto set my hand and
caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Senator Spencer doesn't know who's
boss on Capitol hill. First thing he
knows he will be expelled from the
senate for interfering with Walsh,
heflin, Caraway and Wheeler, who
otherwise have things pretty well
their own way in the senate end of
the capitol.
With Senator Moses insisting on
having the Texas land investigating
committee, of which he is chairman,
run decently and in order and Senator
Spencer Fostering around trying to
make of the Walsh committee some
thing else than an arena for Demo-
cratic mud throwers, the senate will
have to look around for some new
power to be exercised in quashing any
such unsenatOrial conduct. Senator
Spencer is violating the rules OF the
Mudslingers' union. If things con-

might suggest a committee to investi-

Why Walsh Was Called

The occasion for calling John Walsh
to the witness stand was a report that
he had ben used in the the conf
dert'ql Woek OF the Investigating COM
mite T,is tie witness Indignantly
denie, Yet il was jointly with Sen
ator v Is ar lis brither John that
arrangements were made to have the
books of the W. H. Hibbs company
looked over by accountants of the
Federal Trade commission, of which
John Walsh was formerly general
counsel, and it was John Walsh who
called Hibbs over the telephone before
the arrival of these accountants and
told him they were on the way. Just
how it happens that an oil attorney,
even the brother of a member of the
committee, horns in on the proceedings
+ of the committee, even to this extent,
is not clear to the average observer.
But Senator Walsh is very sensitive
about this. He is delighted whenever
a piece of gossip, however irrelevant
can be lugged into the record of be-
smirch the reputation of some Re
publican. When it is revealed that the
chief inquisitor of the Public Lands
committee has a brotherly relation to
the oil business, he renounces the in
PRODUCTION of the testimony as an out
rage.
But Senator Walsh puts the tax
payers of the country to heavy ex-
pense to bring across the continent
to Washington the notorious ex-banditr
Al. jennings, to recite a romantic yarn
about what Jake Hamon may have
said about his having given a million
dollars to the Republicans as the pur-
chase price of a cabinet seat in 1920
When Hamon was killed in the late
fall of 1920 by another prospective
Walsh committee witness, his estate
turned out to be worth about one
quarter of the amount he is said tc
have given the summer before TO the
Republican campaign fund. Such tes'
timony which has as much to do witt
Teapot Dome as most of the rest Of
the evidence adduced before this sen
ate committee, is considered by Sena
tor Walsh as pretinent and relevant

Doheny. The New York World states
that he was recently able to give, with
out feeling it, $4,000 toward a fund
raised in Texas to fight the Ku Klux
Khan.
Mr.. Cullinan is not operating any
oil wells or r~efineries within easy
reach of Washington, but John Walsh
explains that he has had nothing to
do with representing Nj. Cullinan in
any department of the government,
particularly the Interior department.
His business is entirely legal.
OF other oil companies Mr.. Walsh
is entirely ignorant. He had never
heard of the Mutual Oil company, al
though Tom Arthur, the manager of
the Mutual in Montana, is the political
manager in that state of John Walsh's
brother, Senator Walsh, and for the
McAdoo presidential boom, and it was
to Tom Arthur that Senator Walsh
sent his telegram announcing to the
Chicago conference of McAdoo boost
ers that what appeared to be oil on
the robes of their candidate was white
wash. The general counsel for the
Mutual company, which is the concern
driven off Teapot Dome by the ma
rines, appointed not long ago, is for
mer Governor Stewart, who until re-
Gently was feared as a prospective
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for the senate in Montana against
Senator Walsh. Tom Arthur made
an eastern trip in January and held
some interesting oil and political con-
f~ercnces in New York and Washing
ton.

Lese Maieste

Senator Spencer, of Missouri, who
was guilty of calling John Walsh to
the stand for the purpose of trying
to find out why accountants to ex-
anime tie books of a broker were
dug up BIZ an oil attorney who hap
pens to he a brother of the chief in
quisitor, is a new member of the
Walsh committee and had yet to learn
that the purpose of the proceedings is
to get something on some Republican
rather than to find out anything about
the supposed subject Of inquiry. His
offense is the greater because when
Senator Walsh insisted upon calling
officials of the Republican national
committee in 1920 to the witness stand
to learn about supposed campaign con-
tributions of Sinclair, he had sub
poenas issued for the chairman and
treasurer Of the Democratic campaign
committee of 1920 to find out what
became of the $4,000 1920 campaign
contribution Mr.. Dohney testified to
and Mr. Morgenthau wrote about in
a book, but which doesn't cen to
show up more than to the extent of
$4,000 in the published report of the
Democratic committee. The senator
from Missouri is guilty of failing to

all over him. It might also be sail
