WELL SUNK 1000 r.. STILL BORING


Some few millions OF years ago thu
forces Of nature iitersily wrecked the
surface Of The Shenandoah Vslley, and
biologists have been busy specializing
| lst how long before the Teapot Dome
scandal this war of elements and
wreck of worlds took place.
The time is generally fixed In the
latter part of the Palezoic age when
the great Appalachian unheaval created
the famous caverns In this area. turned
the Strata topsy turvy and reared the
mountain ranges, which frame this
picture country.
The varying thickness Of the lime
stone strata in this section is some
times determined In the drilling Of
artesian wells. and just now there is a
hole being drilled In Woodstock which
has already reached a depth Of ap-
proximately 1000 feet, the deepest by
far even sunk in Shenandoah comfy
and probably the deepest In the entire
Shenandoah Valley.
The well is being drilled by William
j. Gochenour of Maurertown for the
Chaplin Sacks Corporation, at the
Woodstock Creamery. one Of the lar
gest in the South.
Thus far the boring has been through
solid limestone formation, with only
minor assures.
The well is being drilled in order
that the creamery will have an in
water supply, indepen.
dent of the amount furnished by the
town of Woodstock. Several small
streams have been tapped during the
of the drilling, but not a
supply suffice Mt for the Corporations

MANY ExCuRSlONISTS
EXPECTED SUNDAY

The interest manifested by the high,
est officials of northern trunk lines IN
the Shenandoah Valley is becoming
more apparent every day, and by
through personal visits and by inquiries
they are investigating the possibilities
/ of this Incompatible county.
One of the first indications OF this
interest is in the operation of the big
excursion train to Shenandoah Caverns
which win reach there at seven O'Clock
on Sunday morning from Philadelphia,
Atlantic City, Trenton, Chester and
Wilmington.
The laymen cannot appreciate the
amount of work necessary in convinc-
ing men who operate the big railroad
systems that an excursion from points
remote from this section would be
mutually beneficial to railway COM
panies and the Shenandoah Valley. and
because of his long experience as
railroad man, his wide acquaintance
with the higher officials and his ac-
knowledged ability as ahustler, Hunter
B. Chapman, of Woodstock has been
the outstanding missionary in this
field of publicity of the Valley area.
True he is interested as part owner
in the great Shenandoah Caverns, one
of the foremost attractions in America,
and while excursions such as will be
operated on Sunday are the results of
work in behalf of the caverns, yet the
entire Shenandoah Valley will share in
the good which will necessarily come
from bringing thousands of people
here to see this Wonderland of the
South.
Prominent officials of the Pennsyl
vania, Reading, Central of Jersey,
Baltimore and Ohio and Southern
Railways will be tbs guests of Messrs.
Manor and Chapman, owners OF Shen-
andoah Caverns, on Sunday, among
them being the general manager of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, who will
motor through the Valley.
Preparations are being made to|
handle are exceptionally large crowd
of tourists and it is anticipated that
Sundays crowd will be the forerunnerl
of greater crowds from other States,
during the present excursion season. |

citizen of the Cedar Creek Valley,
living near Repp, was killed by ia H.
ing tree near .Ellicott City ON Thurs
day..

Sunday and expected to send for bis
wife and SON in short time.

HEAD IN ONE PARTY; TAIL INTHE OTHER?

Naturally, one who gives the political situation
in Arizona any thought, must come to the.con-
cluson that the radical element and the conserva-
tive element of democracy in the state have come
to parting of the ways, and there must be new
alignment. -
Can Governor Hunt, who claims to be support
ing Davis, really satisfy the radical democrats in
the state who have declared for LaFollette?
If Governor Hunt is advocating the election of
Davis, as he says he is, can the La Toilette ele-
ment support him with any degree Of political con-
Sistency?
Can the Davis element of Arizona democracy
consistently support Hunt when they are given to
understand that the La Toilette bunch have
thrown in with Hunt? To one who wants to fol-
low straight line politically, there seems hope
of either securing the particular brand of egisa-
tive policy desired or attaining political victory.
Davis was hammered out flat and thrown back
into the NAV of Wa Street by w. j. Bryan. He
was the eastern end of the most conservative and
said to be absolutely impossible by w. j. When
brother Charley Bryan was nominated on the
extreme western end of the extreme radicals, w.
j. had sudden reversal of feeling for Wall street;
so long as it whacked up with brother Charlie
Brother William Jennings showed conclusively
that all he said about Davis was only few more
thousand meaningless words. ].
One may have great deal of respect for per-
son who is earnestly and honestly advocating
given policy, but you can't have much for one who
is always using his voice Tor personal pOHLlcaI eX-
pediency.
Political expediency," by the way means in
plain English: ITO hell with the public. Fool em
if you can this time and they will forget it before
the next election. Get yours now"
Can Governor Hunt honestly be for Davis when
La Toilette men are for Hunt? If So. who and
what is the democratic party?
Undoubtedly this will be one of the years when
the voter will quit kidding himself and vote the
way he thinks and prays. A great jarring loose
among the old hide-bound blind party followers
may be expected in November

FACTS NOT RUMoRs SHOULD GOVERN

DESPITE the rurnors set afoat that the editor OF
The Sun was directly interested in the trade OF the
Bright Angel Trail to the government; that we
are fighting Senator Cameron or this one or that
in political way, we wish to advise the voters
that such reports are not true. We are not IN
terested other than to give our best efforts for
the progress and prosperity of all Coconino coun-
ty not only one part of it.
We take no pleasure in treading on the toes of
any individual but the interests of the whole peo-
pie are of more Importance to us than the person
al success of few. 1t would be much easier,
nicer and more comfortable to take the easiest
road 1t is difficult to arouse the general public
In its own interest. The public is too much inter-
ested oftimes in petty personal affairs to take
any interest in public affairs, thus losing dollars
while saving few cents.
When the average taxpayer comes to pay his
taxes, he is full of agonized grief, complains bit
terly and wants to cruelty the politicians. This
same fellow will vote to pile up taxes vote against
his own interest and pat himself on the back for
having put something over on the fellow at elec-
tion time he happened to have an old party grudge
against. e ss~s
1t is not our purpose to suggest how any one
votes We have given the straightforward honest
details of the proposed trail trade. There is no
need of being befuddled about it or to claim you
don't understand it. $500
Abuse Of the editor of The Sun is not going to
change the facts in the case When you vote for
candidates for supervisor you are voting for or
against the trail trade. The new board of super
visors will be for or against coming to an agree
ment with the secretary of the interior, unless
the present board of supervisors come to an
agreement with the secretary of the interior. The
present board has the power and all they need is
the inclination.
Read the clean-cut proposition of the govern
ment printed elsewhere in The Sun in which $780,,
900 is to be paid for the trail at the transfer an
additional $1,000 is asked of congress next year
and the department of the interior pledges its
best efforts to secure at least 100000 each year
until the road is completed, and also pledges to
maintain the road. It's a splendid offer to the
people of the country and it does seem impossible
that any thinking set of officials or people would
be foolish enough to turn it down.

NATIONAL DEFENSE DAY

The opposition to national defense day now
seems to be nothing more than a rallying of dis
loyalists to the standard of Robert NJ. La Toilette
Recalling that they owe the Wisconsin senator a
Adebt of gratitude" for his opposition to war mea-
sures while the United States was engaged in its
hereulean struggle against Germany, pacifists and
pro-Germans have now seized upon national de-
fense day, September II, to inject the pacifist
issue into the campaign
President Cooidge's rebuke to the groups op-
posing the mobilization idea have brought upon
himself the wrath of the extreme pacifists. But
the country viii not misunderstood the presidents
attitude. The mobilization of some 100000 re-
serves this country has will not be so much of
show of military strength as a demonstration of
patriotic impulse. The opposition will undoubt
edly react to the benefit of the president-Albu-
