In addition there are 4000 people in the company camps and elsewhere scattered throughout the Winkler county In Lea counly, there are at least 3000 people. So, to up you might say there are today 18,000 people where 15 months ago there were none except a few county officials, a handful of ranch people and a storekeeper or two. Jal is a fnll fkdged town.

It has even achieved the distinetion of having been raided by Texas rang- ers, which is the final proof of gen- uiness of an oil town. An oil town never has quite arrived nntil the rangers have taken notice of it. This is a phase through it the rough-stuff forms of monkey business.

These rumors were dented by officials of the corporation here, who stated that Mr. Giannini was due in London today from Italy where he had been spending a vacation.

Why do they call it Jal? a question often heard.

There are answers. A favorite one is that it is a contraction of Maljamar, although that New Mexxico field is less known than the Winkler. The correct explanation is that the name Jal is made up of the first three letters of the first names of the brothers who owned the ranlh on which Jal was builL 1 he Cow den ranch was more than locally famous.

Immediately after landing on the field here Cjipt. Carranza dispatched a telegram to the Mexican ambassador at Washington asking Instnic- tions. He then retired at a hotel here with orders that he was not to be called until 7 a. m. The landing was made here when the aviator ran into a dense fog that covered the airmail route he was following and he was unable to see the beacon lights.

The aviator seemed tired from his long flight from Mexico City. The plane according to those at the airport here, was functioning perfectly and the landing was made with little difficulty. More than a hundred people had gathered at Bolling to welcome the flier to Washington, Including assistant secretary of commerce for aviation, William P. MacCracken, assistant secretary Warner of the navy, and Porter Adams, president of the National Aeronautic association. All expressed disappointment that Carranza had been obliged to give up the flight when comparatively near his goal, but were relieved that he had landed safely as there had been considerable anxiety, due to the precarious flying conditions south of Richmond.

Ambassador Tellez of Mexico and Robert E. Olds, undersecretary of state also were at the field, but all left shortly after 6 oclock, to return when Carranza continues his flight from Mooresv'ille. Olds, Warner and MacCracken were members of an official reception committee named to welcome the flier on behalf of the government. F. Trubee Davison, assistant secretary of war for aviation, left New York by train last night, making a special trip to welcome Carranza for the war department.

Davison is acting secretary in the absence of secretary Davis, who is attending the Republican convention at Kan-, sas City. Capt. Carranza, who took off from Mexico City yesterday morning at oclock, had been flying 18 hours and 20 minutes when fog forced him to abandon his non-stop attempt here.

Like every other part of this convention, the tribute to president Coolidge was dignified and marked with manifest restraint. It was precipitated by senator Fess, the keynoter, who got both delegates an4 spectators to their feet for a minute or two of handclapping and subdued cheering by an oratorical windup in which Mr. Coolidge was described as the greatest political and personal force in the world to- propor-t day, and the party was commiserated upon his decision to refuse a renomination.
