has prepared a special programme of recitations for the two closing days of school and on Monday and Tuesday of this week the parents of the students and those interested in education are invited to be present and witness the work of the pupils. The exercises will be in the form of a school institute and will be both instructive and entertain ing to visitors. The subjects to be dis cussed were assigned to the various pupils, allowing them sufficient time to thoroughly develop the points in volved. For illustration, in physics the subject of electricity has been as- signed to one of the students who will not only tell the theory of electrical energy, but will take the electrical ap- paratus and demonstrate the state ments. Exercises and recitations will be given in physics, physiology, phys ical geography, botany, algebra, ge- ometry, political economy, civil gov ernment, rhetoric. English grammar, arithmetic, literature and Latin.
 Every resident of this city and vii cinity should attend at least part of the two days exercises and see what our high school has done in it's first years work. The session opens at 8:30 tomorrow morning and continues two full days.

IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
Interest Has Been Awakened in It
 Abroad.

Rural Californian: Advices coming from Phoenix and other points in the southwest are to the effect that live interest is being awakened in the fifth irrigation congress which is to take place in Phoenix during the coming month of December. Much has been done by the present national executive committee ill furthering the cause of irrigation all along the line, but more particularly at Washington, and also by means of securing favorable legisla- tion in the several states comprising the arid west. By the time the con- gress meets the United States supreme court will have rendered its decision on the constitutionslity of the Wright district irrigation law, and for that reason alone, the atmosphere of uncer- tainty regarding irrigation laws will have been removed, and the congress be in position to devise ways and means on correct lines to fur ther the irrigation movement. The people of Phoenix are making every effort to secure large delegation, and everything points to a congress that promises to be the largest in attendance and the most important in the history of the movement.

PARK THEATlER COMPANY.
Arrival Yesterday From San Francisco of Several of the Troupe.

Will H. Gregory, one of the managers of the park theater, returned yesterday afternoon from San Francisco accom- panied by five members of the Park Stock company. The names of the ar rivals are as follows: Miss Pauline Maitland, late of the John l.. Sullivan company; Miss Katie Raymond, who was in Phoenix some time ago with the Lorraine Hollis company; Walter Belasco, a brother of the great dra- matist and late of the Henry Dixie company; Lincoln J. Hummer, of the opera house stock company of San Francisco, and Joseph Corcoran, also of a San Francisco stock company. It will be necessary to get couple of more peo- pie before the complement of the com pany is. complete, but the those that are now here are all well known in the theatrical world and are first class artists. The company will be aug mented in a couple of weeks by Miss Tittell, cousin of MT. Gregory, and an actress of some note, both n the east and west. The company now numbers ten people, three of whom are ladies.
 Mrs. Melville, wife of Giistave Neav- file, the energetic business manager of the company, is most charming SOUL brette who has won laurels before the footlights. During the absence of MT. Gregory MT. Neav.le has been work ing hard to have the pavilion placed in readiness for the arrival of the con- pany and his efforts have been success full, for now only few finishing touch es are necessary for the grand open ing on Thursday night next.
