Everything Lovely

Conditions locally haven't. looked
better for years than they do at this
time. The opening of the Amalga-
mated mill by the Combined Metals
is big boost for the town. The Rec
ord knows of other big things that
are going to happen soon but the
time is not ripe for publicity. Merch-
ants are optimistic. Ranchers too,
are feeling good. The rain and snow
of the past two weeks was badly
needed.
In fact, everything around Phoebe
is lovely The coming summer is
going to be the most prosperous in
years.
