O'Clock at the attractive home of
Mrs. Jessie Benton Evans, near
Comeback, with the Rev. Victor

"The vows were spoken under
Towering orange tree, with the
breezes blowing softly from Cam
elback, and the sun just beginning
to slant over the peaks. Prior to
the service, Miss Dorothy Burton
sang AT Dawning.'
'The bride wore a smart sport
suit of white kasha, and a chic
white hat to match. Her flowers
were a shower of white sweet peas.
The brides attendants were Misses

MONUMENTAL OIL
COMPANY MAY PIPE
OIL TO WINSLOW

That Winslow may soon be ben
officially affected by oil in the near
future is indicated by the follow
ing letter received this week by
Charles L. Murphy, secretary of
the Commercial club:
Erie, Pa, March q.
Gentlemen: We are writing you
at this time seeking some informa-
tion regarding the highway leading
north from your city to Keams
Canyon and if this connects with a
ROAD extending ON north to Kayen-
ia and through to GoOdridge and
Bluff, in southeastern Utah, and
whether or not this highway is in
passabIe shape for motor cars and
trucking.
The reason for such inquiry at
this time is that our company con-
trolls large holdings of oil lands in
San Juan county, Utah, lying be-
tween the San Juan river and the
Arizona state line, in ranges II
and 18 east We have done con-
siderable prospecting work on, these
lands in the past three years and
are now prepared to institute an
aggressive drilling campaign this
summer and fall This in turn
means that we will have to ship
and install in the field much new
material, and we propose to move
this equipment into the field from
some suitable point on the Santa
Fe r. r., to the south Of our field,
of which we have several in view
extending from Gallup west TO
Flagstaff.
If we find that the highway in
question is suitable for motoring
purposes clear into Kayenta, we
can cope with the situation from
there on north, and in turn we
would then arrange to establish a
headquarters at Winslow and use
same as a shipping point to and
from the field. Owing to the fact
that the production from our field
will find it's market in California
and the gulf coast, it will be
brought south by pipe line to
whichever point we find acceptable
as a shipping center on the Santa
Fe and then transported by tank
cars to it's destination.
We feel that you can secure for
us authentic information on the
matter in question, and will be
glad to cooperate with us in any
manner possible, so that if pos
sible, we in turn may become a
valuable asset to your community.
