maiden he loves passes him the youth
plays louder and more feelingly. If the

if she steps up to him and lays a
flower upon the instrument. he jumps
up, grasps her by the hand, taking
care not to drop the flower, and they
go away together.

GOVERNMENT IRRIGATION.
Engineer Noble to Tell People of This
Valley How to Secure 1t.

Government Engineer Noble arrived
in town last Monday and left on the
afternoon train of the same day. He
wanted the Commercial club to call a
meeting Immediately of the citizens, So
that he could take up the matter of
government irrigation in this valley and
tell them what would have to be done
in order to secure it. Several of our
leading citizens decided that such short
notice for a meeting of this kind would
result in a small attendance and as Mr.
Noble will return here within the course
of week or ten days, it was thought
II wiser plan would be to postpone the
called netting until his return. The
people of this valley will then be duly
notified and all citizens interested are
urged to attend the meeting, which may
result in much good to this great val
ley.
