MCCORMICK STARTS
ON HIS PICTURESQUE
DRIVE OF WILD DEER

George Mccormick started from
Flagstaff for the north part of the
state last Sunday to begin the ceIe-
brated drive of 5000 to 5000 deer from
the Kaibab game reserve across Grand
Canyon and the Colorado river to the
forests on this side of the big gorge.
With Mccormick were lot of other
men. They went horseback to the
head of the Tanner trail, then down
and across the gorge, reaching the
deer country some 40 miles beyond
over the trail through which it is
proposed to bring back the deer.
Another bunch of men, in automo-
biles and auto trucks, with equipment
and supplies, left Flagstaff Saturday
by way of Lees Ferry
Several who will witness the drive
and participate to some extent. at
least as volunteers, have already gone
north. E. G. Miller, supervisor of the
Coconino forest, and two of his aides,
Johnny Adams and Mr.. Lochman, went
by way of Lees Ferry. NJ A. Mus
grave, head of the state predatory
animal control forces, accompanied
by Mr.. Gilham of Illinois, went
through here the day before on their
way north.
Arrangements have been completed
with the Lasky moving picture people
who have been granted exclusive NOV
ing picture rights for the story Zane
Grey is to write with the drive as it's
central feature. The picture people
pay $1,000 for the rights Other
money has been raised among busi-
ness men interested in seeing the
southside forests better stocked with
deer.
All Arizona people are for McCor-
mick and sincerely hopeful that he
will succeed in his picturesque and
gigantic undertaking. Indeed, all of
America is interested. Probably there
is not daily paper in the United
States that has not repeatedly men
toned the proposed drive and many
special writer's for newspapers and
magazines will be on hand to gather
all the color there is to be found.
1t likely will take the better part of
five days to get over to the deer coun-
try with the horses. Mccormick says
that on Monday, December Is, the
drive will start and the deer will be
at the top of the rim this side of
Grand Canyon by the goth. Follow
ing the task of distributing them to
the various forests-a fourth to Grand
Canyon national park, fourth to San
Francisco peaks, a like number each
to Fishers tanks and Rogers lake.
Down in Gila county the county
supervisors this week appropriated
$500, to be added to $500 appropriated
by Maricopa county with which they
propose to buy 100 of the deer to be
taken down there.

Report Of Oil Strike
Causes Much EXcitment

Quite furry of excitement was
caused in Winslow late yesterday af-
ternoon when report became cur
rent that the Taylor-Fuller oil well at
Holbrook had come in with plenty of
OIL" 1t was thought for a while that
the dreams of northern Arizona had
been realized and the long wait for
the discovery of oil was over. The
WinslOw Mail tried to discover the
foundation of the story, and it seems
that gas pressure at the TaylorFul-
Ter well had indeed forced the casing
upward about fifty feet, and that oil
sand had been pressed upward in the
hole from pressure beneath. At 3
o'clock Wednesday afternoon the well
was shut down until further investi-
cation of conditions could be made.

WRESTLING BOUT ON
M O ND AY EVENING
LAST ENDED In DRAW

Everyone who attended the cham
pionship wrestling match at Kelly's
hall last Monday evening between
worlds lightweight champion Billy
Edwards, and Jack Woods, champion
of the United States navy, reported
an exhibition the like of which is
seen but seldom.
After an hour and fifteen minutes
of desperate efforts, skilful maneuv-
ering, and the trying out of every
trick of science and strength, the two
big fellows left the ring satisfied that
they had given the contest the best
they had, and the spectators were
more than satisfied that they had had
their moneys worth.
A return match might have been ar
ranged, but for the fact that Edwards
is billed to appear in several middle
western cities in the next few weeks,
so could not remain longer in the
state. He left this week for Kansas
City where his next exhibition is to
be put on.
Next Monday Woods will appear in
the local hall pitted against Ray Zim-
mer of San Bernardino, who is also
reported to be in the top-notch class
along with Edwards and Woods, and
an exhibition equally as good as that
of last Monday is expected. Both men
weigh 175 pounds, and their will be

TALES OF OLD
DAYS1N STATE
TOLD IN BOOK
Historical Society Volume
Contains Much Material
That Is Interesting

The fifth volume Of the Collec-
tons Of the State Historical Society
of North Dakota, edited by DR.. o. e.
Libby of the University of North
Dakota, has just come from the
press and contains much of interest
to pioneers of the state, and to
those interested in the beginnings
of North Dakota's history.
The biography by Grace Green
wood of ID. M. Holmes, prominent in
Masonry and civic enterprises, gives
vivid picture of the growth of the
eastern part of the state, particu-
larly Grand Forks, where Holmes
made his home after coming to
North Dakota, outside of a short
period spent in Pembina. The neces-
sity for versatility in pioneer life
rs, strikingly depicted in Holmes
carere, for he was at one time or
another following his arrival in this
state a surveyor, lumberman, Il
telegraph operator, druggist and
a lawyer, besides holding several
county offices.
In 1876 Holmes with number of
other men, left Grand Forks for an
expedition into the Black Hills,
where it was rumored there were
rich gold deposits. In the diary
which Holmes kept very complete
during the whole adventure, is
found an interesting commentary
on the trip across the state, and
into South Dakota. At Bismarck

dances, and the party had gun
stolen the first night; then a storm
arose, which prevented the arrival
of trains, and held UP the expedi-
ton for two weeks. The diary is
replete with colorful incidents, and
faithful description of the country
passed over.
Burleigh county suffered at least
five changes in boundary line, before
it acquired it's present dimensions,
according to the account given by
Luella J. Hall of the formation Of
the counties Of North Dakota. The
article is profusely illustrated by
maps which indicate clearly each
important change in the county
lines.
A picturesque story is that Of
the W-Bar ranch on the Missouri
slope, by Bertha M. Kuhn, relating
the history of Pierre Wibaux. ener-
getic Frenchman, who founded his
ranch about the same time as the
Marquis de Mores began his origi-
nal Get Rich Quick" schemes, and
Theodore Roosevelt became cow
boy near Medora The story ,of
Wibaux's rise to the title of Cat
tie King" of his white House,
and of the obstacles he overcame
in his little kingdom is good read
ing.
To lovers of Indian history, the
history of Turtle Mountain Chippe-
wa, by John Hesketh, and the
sketch Of the Minnesota massacre
by Victor Renville will be an at
traction. Both accounts show in
finite car in the. matter of detail
ed information, clearly written. and
contain some striking descriptive
passages

perienced editing, and will be in
