 Practically all the deals
 above referred to were made
 with the Aztec Petroleum
 Securities company, of which Gov. Meiklejohn, Jack Mar
 den, Senator Mayfeld and
 Tom McCauley are the prin- cipal owners, but many small
 Ter deals have also been made
 with other parties, and the demand for lands and leases is assuming large propor- tions. Five of the new rigs which are due within 60 days are to be brought in by prom inent New York interests, represented by Chas. Oster of that city. the deal being negotiated by w. L. MacKay of Kingman.
 Among the many invest ors and geologists who have been here during the week, one of the most prominent is Fred M. Powers, who makes his home in Minneapolis, but who has big oil interests in seven different states of the union, and also in Mexico. He is president of the United States-Mexico Petroleum Co.,, is said to have the largest acreage of oil lands in Mexico. Through the North American Petroleum Co.,, of which he is also presi- dent, MT. Powers will oper- ate in the Holbrook field. He makes no secret of his over this section, but his plans as to it's de- velopment are not yet ma tured. That he and his as- will have a vital part in proving up the Hol- brook area is definitely prom ised.
 J. Toner Barr, an engineer from Pittsburg, who has handled some big contracts, involving difficult engineer ing problems, in record time, spent ten days in going over this field thoroughly, during time he secured some good prospective oil land in addition to that which he1 had acquired before. He left for the west Sunday | without disclosing his plans for the immediate future.

Guy B. Saunders, Victim
 Of Sad Accident, Is Dead


 Guy B. Saunders, brother
 of w. A. Saunders, manager for the Tucker Livestock company, was killed about 6 o'clock Thursday evening,
 March 13, when the horse he was riding, going at a brisk lope, stepped in a prairie dog hole and fell. MT. Saunders was flung from his saddle and struck the ground with great force, inficting injur- ies to his spine which caused death within a few minutes. The sad accident occurred at the Long H. ranch. M r {. Saunders, with some of the cowboys employed on the ranch, was out looking after cattle and had started home for the night. After his fall, one of the boys quickly dismounted and raised his head and asked if he were hurt. He nodded his head ''up" but did not speak and expired in a few minutes. One of the horsemen rode in at breakneck speed for his brother, Art, but Art was unable to, reach him in time time to see him alive.
 Guy B. Saunders was 43 years old, and leaves a wife and three children, Harry, age 16, who has been attend ing school in Holbrook; Edna, IA, and Lena, age 10, both students of the St. Johns academy.
 MT. Saunders came here from Kansas about t W o years ago, taking up his home with his brother Art on the Long H ranch. He has been seriously afflicted with inf1ammatory rheuma- tism for fifteen or sixteen years, but of late had been quite strong and insisted on getting out with the cow boys and riding the range some, though his brother Art objected to it, fearing that something might hap pen. In all his years of suf- fering from rheumatism, he preserved a cheerful disposi- tion and was never known to utter a word of complaint. It was these qualities of gen. tleness and forbearance that made him loved and appre- by those about him.
 Arrangements have been made for the funeral to be held from the St. Johns academy tomorrow Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and the remains will be laid to rest in the cemetery on the bill.

Due to neighborly kind. ness of the big-hearted resi-. dents of Snowflake, the peo. pie of Holbrook will be giver a treat on next Sunday even. ing, March 23d, when the best talent of that thriving community will give a con- cert at the Pastime theatre, followed by a musical farce, entitled, 'eThe Husbands Mistake.

 The entertainment will be given under the direction of Prof. K. B. Fordham, who has a splendid reputation for ability in this line. With him will come a number of others who are also very tai ented, and the resident of Holbrook who is unable to be present on Sunday even- ing will miss the treat of his life.
 Prof. Fordham and his as- sociates have generously vol unteered to give this concert for the Holbrook Chamber of Commerce, and the net proceeds will be given to that organization. Both because the entertainment itself will be we'll worth the price of admission, and to show our appreciation of the kindness of our neighbors, the Pas time theatre should becrowd- ed Sunday evening.

Encouraging Review
 of HOIbrOOk's s Future

assume the proportions of real boom, is the prevailing opinion in this field today And that opinion is freely expressed by the newcomel who arrived with doubt il his mind as to the oil pos abilities of the Holbrook ares as we'll as by the conserva' tive old-timer who has pros pered greatly in the past and who has no strong desire fol radical changes.
 In fact, MT. A. Swan, who has been for years with the Guggenheims in responsible positions, and who has been in Holbrook for the past week acquiring diff e re nt holdings of oil lands, pre- diets that the boom will be on us within the next sixty days, even though no pay we'll is brought in before that time, as is now considered possible. MT. Swan has re- gently been in charge of the big Silverbell mines, near Tucson, and is in a position to feel the public pulse.
 There are many substan- tial reasons for believing that the outlook for the future is bright. In the first place there is a marked i'm provement in the showing of both the Hopi and the Ad- amana wells, with indica- tions that oil will be struck sooner than was anticipated.
 Exaggerated reports as to the amount of gas struck in the Hopi we'll continue to be circulated on the outside not withstanding that they have been denied by the manage ment and are deprecated by those interested here, but it is believed that the showing is really better than would be indicated by the conserva- tive official reports.
 Another reason for great optimism is the fact that within the past ten days 23 sections of patented land have been acquired by strong financial interests and, under the contracts signed, at least eight new rigs must be work ing within 60 days. Not less than one rig each must go on every section within a reasonable time, but between two different outfits eight rigs must be brought in be- fore May 18th.
 Still others, backed by ample capital and experience, are figuring on getting busy very shortly, but the definite contracts have not been signed as yet. An operator from the Texas fields, with 25 years successful experi- ence, is due here the last of the week to pass oh a large acreage tentatively secured for him---and, if taken, this also calls for drilling to be started two months after lease>is signed.
 What Holbrook has been looking for is men with money and experience to put down wells where many geo. logists of repute say prolific oil sands are likely to be found. These men are now in, but there is room for more. It is significant that in most deals recently made

were carried away here in a flood here
last night.
A cloudburst on the north slope Of
the Zuni mountains sent a wave Of
water down the Rio Puerco river
which overflowed at Gallup.
Homes in the western part of Gallup
were badly damaged. Many families
had no warning of the flood until wa
ter foot deep had entered their
homes. Others were warned by blow
ing of the fire whistle and sought
higher ground. There was no loss of
life. Dr.

Hundreds of yards of track on the

BIC PACKE Rs ARE
CHANGING POLICY
IN SOME RESPECTS
They Are Abandoning Grocery
Specially Field and Hereafter
will Seek Business Through
Regular Local Channels.

The Journal of Commerce and COM
mercial Bulletin has the following re-
garding change of policy by the big
packers:
THE best conclusion that has come
to the local food trades after a week
of feverish discussion, rumor ana
guessing as to the relations of whole
sale grocers to the Big Five" meat
packers, is that the big Five" have
seen a great light and are rapidly
trimming sails tor the expected gale
from Washington.
Evidences multiply that the force
of the contention, that packers should
pack and leave distribution to jobbers
and retailers, is coming home to most
of the packers--tn fact. some of them
are showing a surprising spirit of fair
ness in meeting the criticisms-and
that as fast as they can, they are di-
vesting themselves of their grocery
products, so far as distribution and
sale are concerned. and getting ready
to stick to meat packing, leaving much
of the force of the congressional at
tack without tangible basis.
THE sale by Wilson & Co. of their
grocery calming products, plants,
brands and good will to Austin, Mich
OILS & Co., Of this city-and in spite
of a lot of varied gossip no one doubts
that it was an absolute sale for cash
is only one sign of disintegration
among the big Five" There are 9TH
ers, and the evidence from dependable
sources tends to show that the stock
yards situation is today a good deal
like -four -the-rGn and one stand
ing with his back to the wall fighting
to preserve his plutocracy against all
assaults" From the standpoint of the
grocers and the government. the
packers action looks a good deal like
a typical Hindenburg tactical victory"
and moving to the rear very fast.
1T is well known that about six
weeks ago conferences were held in
Chicago between representative pack
ers and iobbers and, although the pro-
ceedings were secret, enough has
leaked out to show that the jobbers'

thought that this is not to De accom-.
plished without the exercise of bust
ness courage, conservatism and the
strict adherence to sound economic
principles.
The one element Of uncertainty
that is still exercising a retarding
influence in the business life of the
nation is the future course of prices,
involving not only commodities ana
articles entering into the household
budget, but also into the cost Of
manufacturing. Business men hest
tate to make contracts either in the
form of wage scales or for materials
which might entail loss should the
general price tendency be downward
t. any considerable extent This tt
II de also is operating to hold manu-
Iac'urers in check and prevent over
stocking, as well as con. ibuting TO
resistance in any further dvance in
wage sales. Hence, it is a factor in
encouraging conservatism at a time
when the increased buying power,
together with the reaction from tie
war period restrictions tend to stimu.

Brilliant crop promise early in the
seeding and growing season was ma
terially modified in the later spring
and early summer months. Prolonged
rain, first over the western wheat re-
gion, was helpful to the fall seeded
grain, but detrimental the anticipated
large acreage of spring seeded crops;
later in the season the rains shifted
to the east and caught early grains
at the harvest period. Another wide
area Of rainfall was through the cot

expected increase in grain and other
