The stability in their prices is not indicative of unattractiveness; rather does it prove that investors prefer following a leader to being the pioneer, We refer to bonds like the following: - Price Yield ' Cuba Cane 7b 1930 . , . 62 12.00 per c Chinese Railway 5s, 1951 49 Italian (Us, 1925 89 10.70 " 10.00 ' St.Louis& San Francisco, ' Inc., 6s, 1950 .... 60 10.40 " Sinclair Consolidated Oil Co. 7i per cent, 1925 93 9.63 The Bonds suggested above are all highly secured with the possible exception of the Cuba Cane 7s. This Band, however, should soon begin to reflect the improving financial condition, not only of the company, but of Cuba as well. An investor who purchases this list: should be well able to sit back and feel that he is receiving an average yield of 10.54 per cent on his investment and in addition the future should hold substantial enhancement in price, writes Sugarman'a Indi cator. IMPORTANT FIELD WORK Thomas C. Mills, the super visor of drilling for the Taylor interests, has been actively en gaged for the past week in mak ing the neceBsary survey for the proposed wells, and also making preparations for the erection of the derrick, timbers for which have been ordered by telegraph from Los Angeles, through the Cooley Lumber Company, and are expected to arrive in about ten days. HOLBROOK, NAVAJO COUNTY. ARIZONA COMPASS NEEDED W. E. Ferguson5 and Ed. Foster took Ed gar Lové ridge of Prescott with them on the hunt for deer. Mr. Loveridge became seperated from his companiDns and failed to put in an appear ance at camp o!i Sunday evening. After waiting all night for him to return, "Fergy" phoned the sheriff's office. A posse was author ised from Snowflake to find the Receiver in Bank ruptcy, not' that Navajo County is likely to need him again, but he's a right nice man. Before thft posse act ually' "got" started, t h e sheriff's office received a message stating that Mr. Loveridge had returned, to the fold. Moral, city fellars bring guides. , FIRST DEER OF SEASON To Henry Hays and Mike Kells we award the asbestos hot water bottles for bring ing in the first deer of the season.. It was of good size, about 110 pounds dressed, and had four pointed ant lers. The deer was shot a bout a mile off the Payson road south of Winslow. The happy hunters returned to Holbrook Sunday evening last. Frozen Credits Are Thawing Out! J. Ogden Armour is quot ed as saying, in a recent ad dress, that the tide ot busi ness has, at last, turned .for the better. This also seems to be, the prevailing view point in Metropolitan bank- mg circles, orean is once more being made available on terms attractive to busi ness, and the whole country is definitely easing up from its long spell under 'frozen" credits o n fundamentally improved conditions that are positive evidence that we are approaching much better times. OCT, 7. 1921 llS HOLBROOK TO BE CENTRE OF AN ARTIST COLONY? If the enthusiasm of Carl Eytel is any criterion it will be. One of our most interest ing visitors last week was Mr Carl Eytel of Palm Spr ings, Cal; Mr. Eytel has spent nearly all his life in the study and depiction -of desert scenes. That his la bors have not been in vain we quote the following from the Pasadena Star. Speak ing of a collection exhibited at the Shakespeare club at Pasadena, reference is made to some of his Arizona com positions as follows, 'Even ing in the Desert" with the color note of dominance in the rose hazed mountains, clear against the sky, turn ing from gold to a delicate turquoise green of faintest hue, is another pictorial and thechnical gem. Like the other paintings, this is one which catches and holds the eye and attention by the ar rangement of the composing masses of light and shadow as well as hill and plain, with the characteristic desert palms in. the . left fore ground." ' Pride in one's work is na tural, and when that work is sufficiently meritorious to warrant recognition by one of the greatest common wealths which is part and parcel of this great country, the average man will freely advertise this fact. Only by dint of much questioning were we able to learn that a scene representing a part of the desert, showing wild palms with a distant view of snow clad mountains, has been used as a mural decor ation in the State Capitol at Sacremento, Cal. No small feather- in Mr. Eytel's cap was the award of the decoration of George Wharton James book "The Wonders of - the Colorado Desert." The landscape painter is legion, those who attempt FOSSIL BEDS OF LARGE AREA DISCOVERED BY SPORTSMAN W. A. Rutter, one of " the staunch friends of the Zuni Company, while hunting for deer and turkey this week. discovered a very large fos sil bed. The important bear ing which this geological feature has on the oil field so excited Mr. Rutter that he forgot the original pur pose of his trip and gave all his time to tracing the ex tent of the deposit. Literal ly hundreds of acres in area and from 12 to 14 feet in depth is a very conservative estimate. Bill found shells of one kind or another buri ed in both shale and lime, and that he is no toreador is proven by the samples he brought with him. DR.. AND MRS. TAYLOR ON THE COAST Dr. S. Earl Taylor and wife left on Thursday for Los Ane les for a little outing and to look up certain business matters con nected with the drilling of the proposed wells. CAPTAIN CÜSTAS TRANSFERRED The many friends of Capt Custas. formerly stationed at Ft. Apache, will be extre mely sorry to learn that he has been transferred to the Ordnance Proving Ground near Baltimore, Md. The captain Í3 to take a two year course in the school there. Completion of the course will probably mean promo tion. We extend advance congratulations. ......... .ROAD CHANGES County Engineer West has been supervising the work on the Holbrook-Gallup road and on the Holbrook-Keams Canyon road. A slight change was made in the Gal lup route, the road being shifted to the rim instead of on the flat, and the Keams Canyon road will be changed to so around the bait beeps instead of through. . p-o ' MR. HAGER WILL RETURN It is announced that DorBey Hagerwttl return to Holbrook within about two weeks, accom panied by his wife, and that while here he will proceed with further geological studies under the auspices of the Taylor inter ests. SUCCESSFUL DANCE Last Saturday night the Home Orchestra, under the direction of J. F. Fischer, a- gain satisfied a large, audi ence. The dance was thor oughly enjoyed by all. the portrayal of desert are many, success is gramea to few, and success Dome in the thankful spirit which is displayed by Mr. Eytel stamps him as one of large calibre. His appreciation oi Holbrook is gratifying in deed and we have pride in having been at least partial ly his confidant. Vol. 13.
