You can't tell us till you have seen u.

shout your praises high into the air.
Now we care not for fame.
We are not yet in story,
The days OF our work shall be the
days of our glory.
Your sweet forbearance we truth.
fully crave,
And the voice of the critic we'll try
hard to brave.
Let the motto of the new officers be
courtesy. Let the response of the
members be courteous, Let us rejoice
in the splendid administration the old
officers have given us, and let us hope
the new officers may profit by the ex-
amples of the old and the experience
OF the past and IL possible add to the
glory our splendid club has already
achieved.
Your aid and your strength we
will need every day,
For unified in purpose we must win
our way.
"Then to Fame, If ever we take
delight in her promises.
Twill bc less for the sake of her

Than to see the eyes of our dear

That all through the year we've
been fair to each other.

We were expecting this Biennial to

The Bm wull>ms Fork Dam.

It is learned from parties more or less interested in the project, and who have been enduring their souls in patience for To, these many months, that active work is soon to be inaugurated on the great dam of the Bill Williams Fork Power and Water Company, says the Prescott Prospect. Doc. J. A. Park, former agent for the old company, is authority for the statement that engi neers will soon be in the field to make the final survey.
 The dam site is at the head of Striped canyon, five miles below the junction of the Sandy and the Santa Maria. Here 1t is proposed to build dam l25 feet in height, which will back the water up for six miles, coming within four miles of the Rawhide mine, and completely submerging the old shelter. From this head water will be conducted across the great Plomosa desert, where there a,e thousands of acres of the rich est farming land in the world. If the project is successful those broad desert plains will in few years be covered with flourishing farms, where oranges, dates, figs, olives, castor beans and all the semi-tropic fruits will be produced in abundance.

IT is just century since trousers were first adopted. George " of Eng land is said to be responsible for them, introducing the garment to hide de- formities of his knees superinduced by gout, Artists and sartOrial authorities say the trouser is the ugliest piece of tailoring ever devised, and it was hoped that the recent meteoric careers of golf and the bicycle might bring knee brooches back into style, but the long pantaloons seem to have entered upon their second century with new lease of life. The loose trouser was known to the ancient Persians, as that was their distinguishing feature in Greek decorations.

THE president of the Illinois Steel Company says that the old rules by which poor boys worked their way up the ladder of success are obsolete, be- cause they applied to the time when things were worked out by the rule of thumb, whereas today applied science and technical skill are necessities. Specialization is the key that opens the door to high position in the present day.

THE United States consul at Batum, the center of the Russian oil fields, re- ports that the cost of producing oil there is considerably greater than in the United States. There are more wasteful labor methods and the gov ernment exacts a heavy royalty. There is now but little profit in the Russian industry and the operators are discour- aged at the low prices maintained by the American Standard Oil Company.

THE postal receipts for March from the fifty largest offices in the country show net increase of 10 per cent over the corresponding time last year, which indicates that there may be no postal deficit this year.

NEW YEARS DECORATIONS IN THE WHITE
HOUSE.
White House. This begins promptly at
IL o'clock, when the diplomatic corps,
army and navy, Judiciary, congressman
and so on are greeted. After this comes
the public reception, which begins
when the other ends.
Before IL o'clock the president, Mrs.
Roosevelt and the wives of the cabinet
members will assemble in the newly
furnished blue parlor of the White
House. The president will announce
his readiness TO Colonel Bingham, who
by virtue of his office as superintend-
ent of public buildings and grounds is
master of ceremonies at the executive
mansion. Colonel Bingham will order
the doors open, and the ceremony is on.
When there is vice president, he is
the first to pay his respects to the
chief magistrate. There being none,
the members of the cabinet will enter
in the exact order of rank of succession
TO the presidency. Secretary of State
Hay will head the line and Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson will bring up the
rear. These officials Will not be accom-
panied by ladies, their wives being part
of the receiving party.
In the meantime the members of the
diplomatic corps in all their fine array
of gorgeous uniforms, jeweled qecora-
lions and gold mounted swords, viii
have assembled in the neighboring red
parlor. They will be headed by the
dean of the ambassadors, who will
lead the splendid procession into the
presence of the president Ministers
will follow in order of seniority, each
attended by his suit, including secreta
ries, attaches and such ladies as elect
to come.
Many ladies of the diplomatic corps
will stay away from the White House

mirals. The naval maneuvers in the
Caribbean sea have well nigh depopu-
lated the capital of naval officers Of
high and low degree. 1t is likely that
Rear Admiral Melville will head the
naval contingent.
After the marine officers will follow
the commanding general and the gener-
al staff of the militia of the District of
Columbia. The spectacle presented by
all of these braves will he IL gaudy one.
The yellow plumes of the cavalry, the
crimson facings of the artillery, with
the gold lace, immaculate gloves and
glistening swords of each, will fade the
splendor of all else save some of the
uniforms of the foreign diplomats.
About noon the regents of the Smith
sonian institution will be admitted. Next
come the various commissioners and
bureau chiefs. Then follow the veter-
ans of the various wars, and at half
past 10 the official reception is over.
From then ON until / 80 o'clock the
reception will be devoted to plain, ev-
eryday citizens. II is expected this
throng will number thousands. Hun
dreds of these will have been in line
three or four hours before being admit
ted to shake hands with the head of
the nation. Hundreds more will not
see him at all. for promptly at half past
1 the gate clanls to, and all outside are
barred for that occasion. All inside the
grounds when the gate is closed will be
received.
All this time, two hours and half,
the president has been shaking hands,
and, although President Roosevelt is
particularly strong and robust, lie will
doubtless be glad when it is all over.
In the afternoon nearly every official
family will keep open house. and indeed
nearly every family in the city dis
penses hospitality. Oceans of punch
will be ladled out and drunk, and ev-
erybody who wishes can have a good
time, and nearly everybody does, for
New. Years comes but once a year in
the nations capital.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-12-30

Men mot CARRIED in military uniforms
or foreign costume will wear frock
coats black or white cravats and silk
hats, while the women will wear new
afternoon gowns.
When the president has greeted his
cabinet, each member will wait in at
tendance on his wife, except Secretary
Hay, who will take his place beside
Mr.. Roosevelt. As the diplomatic
corps enters each is introduced to the
president by the secretary of state.
The diplomatic corps having passed
through, the secretary, with Mrs. Hay,
will repair Immediately to his mansion
at Sixteenth and II streets to prepare
TO receive the entire corps at high
noon. Colonel Bingham will immedi-
ately take Secretary Hays place and
will take the names of all subsequent
guests from an usher and present them
to the president as he shakes hands
with each.
The ceremony up to this point will
have occupied about fifteen minutes
During this time another delegation
has assembled in the red room. Chief
Justice and Mrs. Fuller will lead this,
and they will be followed by the asso-
ciate justices of the supreme court OF
the United States and wives. Follow
ing these will come the court of claims,
the court of appeals and the supreme
court of the District of Columbia. Fol
lowing will be such eX-cabinet men,

to be in Washington, sepatOrs, repre-

the line will have passed through there
will still be twenty minutes before -.
Meanwhile Il picturesque gathering
Will be in progress in the great state,
war and navy building, just west of
the White House. The army, navy and
marine corps will form in separate
bodies in the corridors and file out
through the east door and pass through
the White House grounds.
The officers of the army will walk
first. the naval officers second and the
marine corps officers third. The throngs
outside who gather to witness this pro-
cession will miss many we'll known Of

service. General Miles will be one of
