Indication of Oil
Found at 1000 Feet
In Well at Wilcox

PHOENIX - Oil indications have
been encountered at 1000 feet, in
a formation of black shale in Will
COX well, being drilled near Globe,
it was reported Tuesday night by
Leroy Kennedy, of the Miami Sill
yer Belt, who is visiting in Phoenix.
Drillers on the operation expect
to bring in the well when another
300 or 400 feet have been drilled,
he said. The oil is listed as black
petroleum with an asphaltic base.
Kennedy said the bailer was
bringing up quart of oil on each
trip to the bottom, and that it was
of grade superior to anything
brought up in the so-called chick
en- yard" wells in the vicinity.
A shallow well, being drilled ten
miles north of Bowie, is making a
good showing in gas and oil al
ready, and its owner, John w.
Clark, expects to bring in a good
commercial well, he reported.

Safety In Air Is Now
Assured by Parachute

R. Carl Oe1ze, stunt flyer and
member of the naval reserve who
has appeared in exhibition flying
in Winslow, is reported in a Los
Angeles news story to have figured
in a demonstration of a parachute
which, it is predicted, will revolu-
tionize flying and make aviation
absolutely safe.
The parachute, which is a spread
of 274 yards of silk, is used to lower
airplane, pilot and passengers in
safety in case of trouble in the air.
In the test, the plane with Oelze
as pilot, was lowered from an alti-
tude of $500 feet, the only damage
being a snapped propeller and
slight damage to the undercarriage.
Harry A. Douchett, chief machin-
lists mate in the U. s. Navy, is the
inventor of the big parachute. 1t.
P. D. Done1ly, of the San Diego
naval air station, declared the trial
to be an unqualified success.

SAYS WILL TAKE
IMMEDIATE, DECISIVE ACTION TO
SOLVE COLORADO RIVER PROBLEM

PHOENIX = "It is only by
ceasing Quarreling, and by taking
immediate, decisive action instead
of maintaining friction with every
one with whom we have TO deal,
that the Colorado River question
will ever be settled" Thus, E. E.
Ellinwood, Democratic candidate
for governor outlined his reason
for his stand on the Colorado Riv-
er question Monday night at Bis
bee before an enthusiastic, ap-
pIauding audience which welcomed
him back to Cochise county where
he spent II years of his active bus
mess career.
Ellinwood stressed the need for
action on the Colorado. Califor-
MAS hope for success lies in delay,
he said. The only means of avoid
ing this delay, the candidate point
ed out, is to take action with the
other states on supplementary
agreement made by committees
from the various legislatures and
then ratified by vote of the peo-
pie of the state.
"No other course lies open to-
day." said Ellinwood. "The con-
stitution of the United States pro-
vides for the action which must be
pursued, and any other committee
than one from the legislature of the
state has no more authority to act
on the question of the division Of
the waters of the Colorado than a
Los Angeles traffic cop.
"At the present time we have an
open breach with California, we are
in disfavor with the upper basin
states, and the letter sent to Secre-
tary Hoover was in effect an insult
to the government of the United
States.
"The answer lies in your legisla-
ture. It is up to that body to make
a decision through it's committee
after we have shown the other
states we are anxious to work with
them toward reaching such an
agreement. Then the committee
The Winslow mail., 1926-09-03

can bring back that agreement and
present it first to the legislature
and then to the vote of the people
of Arizona.
"If not successful the first time,
send the committee back again and
if necessary, when / am governor,
I will hold that body In session for
two years to get action and to do
away with friction.
What is the Governors stand on
the river settlement, do any of you
know? No, you do not Because
first of all Governor Hunt himself
does not know. He is too busy par
ceiling out jobs to have any time to
give to the Colorado River. He has
turned that over to Mr.. McClus-
key.
"And what has Mr. McCluskey
done? Has he been able to open
any negotiations for the settlement
of the discussion of the division of
water of the Colorado. The only
body with which Mr. McCluskey
was able to negotiate on the sub
ject was the Woman's Club of Los
Angeles"
In clear, concise terms, the can
didate drew for his hearers an
outline of his stand on organized
labor and it's needs.
II believe in organized labor, in
collective bargaining" he said.
Arizona today has laws favoring
organized labor. I wish to pledge
you now, that no one of those laws
will ever be changed with my con-
sent, unless organized labor asks
that it be changed.
"This applies to the 70 car law
and the fall crew law. They were
placed on your statute books by
the vote of the people and it will
take another vote of the people to
remove them. I would veto any
other action taken to destroy leg
islatiOn in favor Of labor without
the approval of labor itself"
Ellinwood then said, in his opin-
ion, the failure to appoint man
selected by labor on the Industrial
Commission board was unfair and
added, "After aJnuary 1, when I
am in office, labor man, selected
by labor itself, will be seated as
member of that board"
The candidate then sketched his
stand on the banking situation.
claiming that enforcement of the
banking laws as preventive meas
ure was the cure instead of "nurs-
ing along" insolvent banks protect
ing the stockholders at the expense
of the depositors.
The ramifications of political
machine as operated at the ex-
pense of the state through ap-
poinees to highway department
Jobs was outlined by Elilnwod, and
the expense, as shown on the pay
rolls by the department was de-
nounced as unnecessary over
head"
Ellinwood was introduced to the
audience following a short address
by J. J. Corrigan, Arizona labor
leader, who is actively supporting
the candidate in his campaign.
Alexander MURRAY, Bisbee attor-
ney. acting as chairman of the
gathering. in his Introduction said
eff the remainder of the state will
give to Mr. Fllinwood the support
which he will receive in Cochise
countv. long his home. then I have
the pleasure tonight of presenting
the next Governor of Arizona"
More than 900 people from every
walk of life in Bisbee and the sur
rounding country packed the Lyric
theater to give the candidate one of
the warmest welcomes he has re-
ceived on his entire trip through
