REV. SPECK RETURNED
 TO HOLBROOK

Rev. Frank R. Speck, who came to Holbrook a year ago as a pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church has just returned from Los Angeles where he has been attending the meetings of the South ern California Annual Con- ference held in University Church. Rev. Speck brings us the good word that he has been assigned by the Bishop to t h e Holbrook church for another year.
 He reports a most inter- estS and enthusiastic session of the Conference. Up un- til a year ago Arizona was a missionary district with no voice in the Conference, but i in 1920 the Arizona Mission District was received into the Conference and is now known as the Arizona Dis trict of the Southern Califor- mia Conference. This Con- ference is one of the largest in Methodism embracing Southern California, Arizona a part of New Mexico and a part of Nevada. It was separated from the Califor- nia Conference forty-six years ago and then had a total membership of twelve hundred and fifty. Today this territory has in it about 75, 900 Methodists who are served by some four hund- red pastors.
 The Conference reports for the past year were most gratifying, showing a great gain in all departments of the church's activities. While the statistics have not yet been fully tabulated reports indicate a large gain in the membership in both t h e church and the s un d ay School enrolment. In the collection of the Centenary Missionary Fund of over a hundred million dollars sub- crlbed by American Metho- dist, the Southern California Conference found that she had exc ceed e d h e r quota for the year. This means that the Gospel will be carried to thousands of peo- pie who never heard of the Man of Galilee.
 The Conference reaffirmed it's stand for whole-hearted, pure Americanism and in- structed the secrecary to con- vey to President Harding the greetings of the Confer ence and it's pledge to sup port him in his efforts to bring about a lasting peace among the nations of the world.

RANGE AND GENERAL CONDI- TONS IN NORTHERN ARI-
 Z0NA TODAY
An Interview With Mir.
 Albert Potter

Bert" Potter, than whom few are more kindly remem- bered by the old-timer, when asked to give his opinion on his old stamping ground, was glad to do so, and was more than glad to be able to fav- orably express himself. As nearly as possible, we shall endeayor to quote MT, Pot ter verbatim.
 Range conditions today more strongly resemble those obtaining in the sos than at any time since the first big drought in '91. Three fact ors rule in governing this desirable condition; namely, sufficients rain, better con- trol of the range by t h e rancher due to ability to pur- chase and lease the land, and the fact that the range is not overstocked.
 Staples, such as hides, beef, wool, sheep, four, cot ton, sugar are, 1 believe, at their lowest prices. The price increase will probably take time, built must occur. Industrial conditions thro- ughout the country are part ly at fault for the low values obtaining today. Sm a II thought need be given to establish a connection. The factory worker is either un- employed or is working short hours, consequently he has not the means to purchase food and clothing in t h e quantities to which he be- came accustomed while draw ing war time wages.
 "Country wide monetary conditions show a tendency to improve. This ever pre- sent burden of taxation is gradually being lifted from the shoulders of the invest or and money is beginning to flow through established channels.
 When asked about oil, Mir. Potter seemed saddened. Knowing as he does that the march 0 f swift progress seems to be an immediate prospect for Holbrook, he foresaw the wiping out of old landmarks, the replace ment of old structures al- most hallowed by memory. Then cheer replaced t h e gloom as he saw old friends enriched by the magic wave of the oil kings wand. Both progress and decay must bring bangs of sadness to the old time resident; but progress is a cloud that is gold lined.

STATE LEASES NOW FIVE YEARS

A local oil believer today received his renewal of lease on some State lands which he has been holding and was delighted to find. that the lease is for a five year term, with royalty raised to 18th. This will tend to make State leases even more desirable than ever.

WILL BE DOUBLED

The Lakeland Light and Water
Plant has Just completed the founda-
ton for new 500 X W. machine
and this will soon be installed thus
nearly doubling the capacity of the
plant by June LIST. a condenser has
been received and will be installed at
the same time. superintendent John
son states that all the force is being
used to reinforce and improve the
service The lines are being extended
and. where overloaded, are being re-
inforced, with the idea in mind of
getting the plant in first class condi-
tion to care for the service next Win
ter, which will probably be much
heavier than ever before. One hun
dred new electric light services have
been added since January first, and
in the same time, seventy-fve new
water services, so that the plant has
been carrying an overload for some
time past. The improvements as now
being carried out will relieve this
condition. and will probably care for
the development of the demand for
some time to come. The Lakeland
Light and Water Plant is owned by
the city, j. E. Johnson. who took
charge last October, being the present
