NEW MEXICO GOVERNOR

County Attorney Frank Harrison
and Deputy Sheriff Harry Greene re-
turned the last of last week from
Santa Fe, N. M, without j. E. Fan
cher of Pasadena, Calf, alleged to
have passed two bad checks here last
wear. He was arrested at Silver iCty,
N. NJ, under the auspices of Mr..
Greene and fought extradition. Mr..
Harrison went to the New Mexican
capital armed with papers from Gov
ernor Hunt of this state.
Governor Hannett of New Mexico,
after extended arguments by attor-
news. refused extradition. Fancher is
more than go, is alleged to be suffer
ing from diabetes and is doing news
paper work in that state. His illness
and age, and Governor Hunts refusal
some time ago to extradite two men
wanted in New Mexico in connection
with an alleged bank swindle, evi-
IDENTIFY were the reasons extradition
in this case was refused.

ED MILLER NEW PRESIDENT
FLAGSTAFF ROTARY CLUB

Ed G. Miller was on Tuesday elect
ed president of Flagstaff Rotary club.
The new officers are elected for a
year and assume their duties the first
meeting in May. Mr.. Miller succeeds
DR.. M. G. Fronske, and his fellow Ro-
tarians feel that he is ably qualified
and has the enthusiasm and sincerity
to go on with the work in the same
notably successful manner in which
DR.. Fronske has handled it during his
term. DR.. A. j. Mackey succeeds Del
Strong as vice-president and will be
fine stalwart prop for the new
president. Art Riordan, the new sec
retary, can be counted on to give the
many details of his job as close and
careful attention as has the present
secretary, George T. Harrington.
Father Albouy and Gus Pearson sue
ceed DR.. A. j. Mackey and Billy
Switzer as directors and will snap
into it as the two last named always
have. President Fronske automatical
ly becomes a director, succeeding
former President C. B. Wilson.
A feature of the campaign" was
the strenuous effort each candidate
made to have his opponent elected.
President Mart Fronske at Tuesdays
meeting had Sergeant-at-arms Ray
Babbitt fine each candidate for work
ing against himself.
On the vote for directors, FIR. AL
bouy and Tom Bellwood were twice
tied, whereupon Alfred Skeels of Will
Hams, visiting Rotarian, flipped a
coin, FIR. Albouy winning.
Kelvin K. Henness was chairman
for the day and the program he pre-
sented was very good indeed. Mrs.
G. A. Pearson, with Mrs. Lorna Jes-
sup accompanying, sang "For You
Alone,' and the bunch very properly
insisted on an encore, which was can

BIOLOGISTS
COMING;
WELLS SOON
CLAIMS RYAN

Biologists representing two
groups among the largest oil in
terests i'm the United States will
be in Flagstaff soon, probably
within a week, to go over the
country northeast and east of
Flagstaff to gauge the oil pOssi-
bilities on the three big struc-
lures mapped out by Edward c.
Ryan, the oil expert.
"Just forget that this is not Arizona
and imagine that it is Oklahoma or
Texas" said Mr.. Ryan to Sun rep
resentative yesterday. Just be-
cause this is Arizona and not either
of those two states is no proof there
isn't oil here and in vast quantities.
II know there is oil here. | have
been in the oil fields all my life and
when | see the indications | know
them. They are here. There are
three great oil structures north and
south of the tracks between Flagstaff
and .Winslow and one in the Little
Colorado river country between here
and Tuba City.
81 sincerely believe this will prove
to be one of the biggest oil fields in
the whole country" Mr.. Ryan de-
clared "And you may say that there
will be drilling done here for oil, and
before very long at that"
Mr. Ryan picked up book con-
tanning maps showing U. S. geologi-
cal surveys and, turning through it.,
showed that the geologiSts have
mapped great Pennsylvania and
Mississippi limestone areas in this
county, the same geological forma-
tions that exist in the big oil-bearing
fields to the east-the same as in the
largest fields in Kansas, Oklahoma
and Texas.
"Three months ago people laughed
at the belief some had there was oil
in Utah." said Mr.. Ryan. "Well they
have brought in one of the biggest
producing wells in the country there.
Well have wells like that here.
Mr. Ryan came here several months
ago. He was going through on the
train but between Canyon Diablo and
Flagstaff, looking through the car
window, he was struck by the surface
indications of oil and got off here.
Since his first reconnaissance trip he
has been convinced there is oil here,
in large quantities, and he established
an office in the Babbitt building and
has made frequent long trips out on
the desert, usually accompanied by
one or more of the Messrs. Babbitt,
who own great deal of the land on
the ranges east and north of here and
covered by the oil formations.

FLACST sf G. P. A. FOR
PURCHASE BUFFALO HERD

Definite steps toward the purchase
of the Uncle Jimmy Owen buffalo
herd were taken Tuesday night at a
special meeting of the Flagstaff Game
Protective association at the forest
service office.
President Tom Mccullough pre-
sided. Alfred Skeels of Williams,
county supervisor, who with the late
G. M. Willard, state game warden,
had been working on the purchase
proposition for some time, told of the
plan and said Governor Hunt is much
interested and that he believes the
money can be raised before the op-
ton expires. Mr.. Skeels read letters
from the American Bison society Of
fering cooperation, and said he be-
lieved there soon will be several large
contributions made.
The following resolution was offer
ed by DR.. A. j. Mackey and passed by
acclamation:
"In view Of the fact that the only
herd of wild buffalo in the United
States is that which ranges in House
rock valley, north of the Colorado
river, in Coconino county, Arizona,
and which is owned by Uncle Jimmie
Owens of F'redonia, Ariz., and
"In view of the extreme age of Mr..
Owens and his desire before he dies to
see the ownership and protection of
the herd vested in the state of Ari-
zona; and
"Coconino county having secured
an option until December Z, 1926, for
the purchase Of this herd, comprising
so head, and their natural increase
during this year for the extremely
low price of $4,000, which we be-
lieve to be not more than one-half
their actual value; and
Gas we believe that unless these
buffalo are purchased in the name of
the state of Arizona and become the
property of and are thereafter pro-
tected by the state the nerd will soon
become entirely exterminated; and
Whereas, we believe that the pres
ervation and increase of this herd on
the vast and ample unsurveyed gov
ernment domain where it now ranges,
which is traversed by highway
which soon is to become one of the
main arteries connecting two or more
of the principal east and west con-
tinental highways, would cause 1t to
be seen every year by thousands of
people; and
"Whereas, in view of the thought
less and criminal destruction of our
wild animal life in the past, and espe-
cially of this most majestic and inter-
esting specimen of American wild
life, we believe it is urgent from hu-
manitarian, scientific and other rea-
sons to take Immediate and definite
steps toward the preservation of this
herd of buffalo, we, the Flagstaff
Game Protective association, resolve,
and ask other local game associations
throughout the state as well as the
State Game Protective association 60
adopt similar action
