Two of them are so tame that they
will permit him to put peanuts into
their bills. His usual method, how
ever, is to toss the food to his feather
ed guests. His aim usually is so ac-
curate that they are able to catch it
without leaving their perches. When
the morsels are too far away for that,
one of the birds will always dart into
the air and catch it.

who comes to Mr.. Simonds for his

OIL FIELD MAY
BE EXPLORED
IN VICINIT Y
OF WINSTON

That exploration for oil and the
development of a field west of
Winslow may come about in the
not distant future is intimated in
a news story contained in the Co
conino Sun, of Flagstaff, last week.
The report is as follows:
"That there are splendid surface
indications Of large quantities of
oil in the Canyon Diablo and Sun
shine section between Flagstaff and
Winslow is the belief of Edward C.
Ryan, the well-known oil prospec-
tor, who has been putting in most
of his time during the last few
days in that section.
"Mr. Ryan, whom it is said was
the discoverer of the Roswell, New
Mexico, oil fields, and who told the
writer yesterday that he had dis
covered more oil fields in this
country than any other man, ex-
pressed optimism over the outlook
for the Sunshine country, but said
1t would be a couple of weeks vet
before he would be able to make a
complete report, at which time he
expected to have the country map

THAT there are several hundred
thousand acres the surface of which
strongly indicates underlying oil.
is fact, he said yesterday He
hopes there will be no great ex-
citement about it, at least not un-
til his conclusions have been more
definitely formulated
Mr.. Ryan was travelling on the
Santa Fe railroad a few days ago,
the first time he had visited this
section, when he noticed the forma-
tlon OF the country out around Can
yon Diablo and was at once con-
vinced there is oil there. Though
he had no previous intention of
doing so, he got off the train when
it reached Flagstaff and soon made
arrangements to go out there. He
has been accompanied on several
of his reconnaissance trips by Will
Babbitt.
Mr.. Ryan yesterday exhibited
several photographs he had Just
received of the Usage nation oil
country in Oklahoma, taken a short
time before oil was discovered there
and he called attention to the
striking similarity in the surface
rocks.
"Mr. Ryan says indications are
better for oil near Canyon Diablo
than anywhere in some distance
east of there.
Much of the land around Sun
shine is privately owned, most of
it by Babbitt Brothers Trading
company, and some is state land"

Three Christmases
In Succession Were
Days Of Tragedy

The last three Christmases have
not been days of joy to Council
man J. B. Edwards. On the con-
trary, they have been days of deep
tragedy, for on this last Christmas
day he was notified by wire of the
death of his mother, at the age of
SO, in Atlanta, Georgia. On Christ
mas day, 1924, Mr. Edwards broth
er-in-law died, and on Christmas
day, 1923, his father passed away.
Mr.. Edwards has the deepest
sympathy of the people of Winslow
by whom he is regarded with the
highest esteem, for his successive
sorrows. He is man who gives
largely of his own time for the
improvement of the city; a hard
worker in the cause of civic righte-
BUSINESS; and a man whose ready
smile and friendly hand is bestow-
ed upon all alike.

OF Giving Paper
False Information

The first arrest and conviction
under the new law passed by the

demeanor to give misinformation
to a reporter of a newspaper, was
made last week at Phoenix, when

guilty and was given a suspended
sentence of thirty days in jail

Pendergrass by a reporter of the
Republican, to whom Pendergrass
had related a mythical accident,
in which he, Pendergrass, was sup
posed to have received serious in
juries.
The law, which was used on that
occasion for the first time, was
passed as result of the activities
