ST, LUKE'S CHURCH
PLANS NEW HOME
Building, After Wcathcring Many
Storms, is Improved and New
One Contemplated.

The little frame church ut the south
west corner Of Eighth and Monroe streets
has been remodeled and greatly improved
after many years of use. 1t has been
through considerable change and viclssi.
tude in its many years OF unpreteptlous
service. Originally built as chapel II
soon became carpenter = workshop, but
finally again reverted to the Lord and has
since then been place of worhsip.
The church is now known rs st. L,ike's
Reformed Episcopal. Many years ago,
somewhere around the sos, some Of the
members Of Calvary Episcopal Church
formed themselves into a new wing and
built small frame chapel at Eighth and
Monroe. Rev Mr.. Esslinp was their iirs
pastor. The new parish did not thrive, ts
in two or three years the place was aban-
doned as house of worship. IL WAS then
that IT was let to carpenter and Tor
something like two years it resoundcd to
the tune of the saw and hammer.
Something happened after n while To
bring the edifce back into the fold and
once more the church held sway within.
Only few years ago Rev. William
Lamming took charge as rector and the
congregation has grown to about l35
members. Recently a small frame wing
was added to the building. Since then
the place has been remodcled and reno
waited New electric lights have been
installed. New stained glass now make
the place look more like church. The
rooms were all repapered.
But the great stride is reserved TO some
future day and not far distant. A new
parish house is soon to arise next to the
edifice on the Monroe street side. Then
it will be another new epoch for the
congregation which has struggled along
so many years Bids have already been
invited and the contract will be awarded
soon after the estimates are in. The
money has not yet been raised, but It was
stated yesterday this detail will come
around all right.
The congregation has just spent about
81 800 on improvements. All but about
5000 OF this is paid for already and the
remainder is in sight. it was stated. The
parish now feels rs il it was striking a
progressive stride and the members are
sticking To the ship Some day they
hope TO see much more pretentious
building to worship in. But with the prices
of materials and labor where they are
these religious folks will he thankful for q
new parish house for the present.
The debt has been lifted from the
buildings There IL still room for cxpan-
sion on three sides and hope springs
eternal in every members breast.

GASOLINE SUPPLY IN
 CITY SMALL, WARNS
 STANDARD O|L CO.

Warning that motoring for pleasure should be curtailed and no gasoline used except for essential purposes, the Standard Oil company yesterday an- nounced it was apportioning out gaso line to essential industries. and that it's supply was limited, with no definite assurance when shipments of the vital fliud would arrive.
 "A shortage in the gasoline supply in the city exists, due to the strike situation" the announcement stated. and also to the fact that there is a greatly increased demand over pre- duction throughout the entire country, which, under normal railroad condf- tions, would affect the supply to Ari- zona points. At adds:
 The Standard Oil company today has but a very limited supply in i1 ing out gasoline to vitally interested industries which affect the public well fare, such as the city fire department. physicians, ambulances, food delivery equipment. Also, it is realized that tractor operators must have a supply of gasoline in order to get their crops in.
 ..No indications of how long this sit nation will last are in evidence. Rail roads are not in a position to trans port gasoline, and there is no way to ascertain when they will be able 10 do so.
 ''Too much stress cannot be placea upon the fact that motoring for pleas ure should be curtailed, and no gaso- line used, which is not vitally needed

fA IournaIistio sIaml

Supervisor Sullivan of Yavapai coun- ty passed through town yesterday in charge of William Clark, who is being taken to the asylum for the care of tho insane. As MT. Clark was for long time correspondent at Lynx Creek for the Prescott Miner, the cause of his de- rangement is easily explained.
 As we go to press Old Boreas is hold ing high carnival in our town and re- mirding our citizens by a boisterops windstorm accompanied by good portion of the Maricopa desert and rain that he still exists. The principal damage resulting from his visit so far as learned is the demolition of the building being erected by Roberts and Ryder on the south side of the plaza, and which was to be occupied on the first floor by the Presbyterians as a church and on the second by the Red men as a council lodge.

AGED DOCTOR SHOWS STRONG ARM ID URGE SUIT. GIRL TEST|F|ES

Strength and beauty should go to- gether, Dr. Thomas Francis Campbell, 60-year-old physician of Wickenburg, told Vera Mort. the 19-year- Eng fish girl testified yesterday in Judge Stanford'S court.
 And to urge his proposal of marriage, the girl added, he rolled up his sleeve and exhibited the muscle of his right arm.
 Dr. Campbell is being tried on a charge of assault with intent to commit murder. The charge arose from the shooting by the doctor on January 13 of Henry B. O'Brien, Canadian soldier, now serving a sentence of 90 days in the Yavapai county jail for having violated the immigration laws in bring ing Vera, Mort to this county from England as his wife. The shooting which followed a quarrel over the affections of the girl. took place in front of the doctors office
 Miss Mort said she did not tell
