Oil News
Governor Meiklejohn returned
{to the field this morning and ex
i pects to remain here several days.
| He came in expressly to be with
the officials of the Allen Oil Com
pany, who are expected here to
morrow, to close the financial
contract as to acreage in the Hol
brook field. There is general re
joicing over the prospect of the
coming in of the Allen Company
and the Sinclair and two other
large companies whose names we
are not priviledged to give.
The Adamana made good pro
gress during this and the past
week. It is now down in the
blue shale just under which in
the California fields lies oil in
\
considerable quantities. The of
ficers are much elated and hope
for a producer.
The Holbrook made good pro
gress and is now down 500 feet;
it would have been further but
struck a crack in the coconino,
which is not uncommon, and had
to batter tl.is down so as to hold
water by filling it in. This com
pany has a full supply of water
and is in fine shape and pounding
away daily with all of its might
for the oil sands.
The Black Canyon has made
considerable progress. It is now
over 400 feet, has passed through
several oil sands which yield oil,
when treated synthetically, of a
parafine base. This company has
perhaps made a greater progress
with a less expenditure of money
of anyone in the field. The eye
of the oil men is fixed upon Ben
W. McCloskey’s management
with this core drill.
The Zuni has practically com
pleted its derrick and the setting
of its machinery. It has one of
the heaviest derricks in northern
Arizona. This company is some
six miles north of Adamana in a
very favorable portion of the
field. Its full compliment of
machinery is expected in the
near future and then Mr. Wesley
will begin to pound away for the
oil sands.
The Apache has decided .to
drill between Taylor and Snow
flake near the fair grounds. The
location has been passed upon
by geologists as very favorable.
Oil appears upon the water of
the well near by and that com
munity is upon tip toe with ex
pectation. The entire camp at
Holbrook wishes our friend Mr.
Aiken, manager of the Apache,
success and God speed.
The Hopi-Wind River Company
has made fair progress, having
drilled more than 175 feet during
the past week and has reached a
cap rock, beneath which it ex
pects to find the green sands of
the Pennsylvania series. This
sand was 20 feet in thickness
and experienced drillers say that
the company is sure to get oil in
the green sands. Water now
stands 600 feet in the casing.
The drill outfit is waiting an
undereamer so as to enlarge the
well and lower the casing from
the present resting place to the
cap rock. This undereamer, with
a new bull wheel to support the
weight of the very heavy 3500
foot cable, is on the way. An
iron calf wheel with chain and
sprockets to enable the company
to handle the casing in the safest
possible manner has been order
ed and is on the way. A new
house is being erected for Supt.
Glosser and wife. The wife of
Harve Burns, head driller, and
the wife of George Cameron are
expected within the next few
days. Hopi has greatest expec
tations and it is probable that
news of the greatest importance
will be given out when drilling is
resumed.

‘POLICIES, NOTPOLITICS’
IS THE LECION’S SLOGAN
Will Conceivably Mix in Politics
But Will Adhere To Its
National Slogan
LEGION OFFICIALS
ENDORSE POLICY
Urges Investigation of Aspirants
for Public Offices
The flay of reckoning for pseu
do Americans, near Americans
and little Americans in public
life approaches the dawn.
That is part of the reply of the
American Legion to a Texas cor
respondent who asked the Amer
ican Legion Weekly, the official
magazine of the national organi
zation of American veterans of
the great war, to define the Leg
ion’s solgari—“Policies—Not pol
tics.”
“Wnile the American Legion
adheres to its slogan— ‘Policies—
Not Politics’ ’’ —the Legion an
nounces “it conceivably will have
a great deal to do with politics.
Not with narrow partisan poli
tics. The Legion was conceived
and is being built of a bigness
and soundness far above that.
But it is going to take cognizance
of what is sound practice and
what is not sound practice in the
political readjustment of the
country. Its members are not
going to wink at political flabbi
ness and and political rotteness.
Nor are they going to temporize
with public or would-be public
servants, whose Americanism is
found tainted with suspicion.
“The word has gone out al
reacy National headquarters
sent it —to every one of the 3,500
Posts urging vigorous opposition
to aspirants for public offices
whose loyalty to America has
been brought in question. The
question of party affiliations is
not of the slightest moment or
consideration. This is entirely
a matter of policy and sound
practice.
“There is no place in public
life for draft-dodging slackers,
any more than there is for the
type of slacker who was able to
buy Liberty Bonds and failed to
do so. We do not believe it is
sound practice to put them now
in places of responsibility, lead
ership and honor. We do not be
lieve the public wants to put
them there, and we do not be
lieve they are going to be put
there in the future. Certainly
not, if the American Legion can
prevent it. And we believe it
can.”

NORMALS BLANK
WINSLOW HIGHS
Flagstaff Normals too Heavy for
Local Team and Wins
by 32 to 0
RETURN GAME HERE
ON OCTOBER 8
Santa Fe, N. M., High Schoo
May Play Here Saturday
The Winslow High school ag
gregation of pigskin kickers, met
defeat in the first game of the
season in the hands of the fast
and heavier lads of the Northern
Arizona Normal, at Flagstaff last
Saturday afternoon. The local
lads were walloped to the tune
of 32 to 0.
A large number of rooters ac
companied the team in a special
car which had been attached to
No. 1, and a constant roar filled
the air throughout the game, but
to no ayail, as the local lads were
outweighed at least 15 pounds to
the man. The boys deserve a
great deal of credit and encour
agement for the ability they dis
played against such odds.
The High School team plainly
displayed the need of more prac
tice, and with a little more good
hard practicing, will no doubt be
able to give a good account of
themselves. They are also rath
er light in the backfield and
Coach Brannigan is now con
templating transferring two or
three of the heavier men from
the line to the backfield, with a
view of materially strengthing
the team.
The Normal played two men in
the lineup whom graduated about
four years ago, but these little
faults were overlooked and it is
doubtful if there are eleven men
in attendance at the Normal this
year, the greater number by far
being girl students.
Supt. Grover is making an at
tempt to get the fast Santa Fe,
New Mexico, High school eleven
here for a game the coming Sat
urday and the following Satur
day, the Normal will play a re
turn game here, when we hope
to even up with them for the
goose egg which they handed the
local team at Flagstaff Saturday.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fairfield
are the proud parents of a two
months old boy. Charley has not
seen the boy since his birth, due
to the fact that Mrs. Fairfield
has been spending the greater
part of the summer in Califor

the boy will recognize his daddy
when he meets him. Mr. Fair
field was formerly head book
keeper for Babbitt Brothers here
but is now in Phoenix acting as
Executive Budget Secretary for
the State.
Mrs. C. A. Keith is in receipt
