SILSBEE Whats Doing Over at the Pleasure Resort on the Shore of Blue Lake

The new post-office building, next to Rumsey's store, is completed and Post mester Browning moved in early in the week.
 Silsbee merchants seem to be "but- ting in" for their share ot the Valleys trade. Many new faces are to be seen in our stores lately.
 The smiling countenance of Geo Varney, of Imperial, was noticed in our burg one evening recently. We suppose he came down to cool off.
 Dr. Fuller, B. E. Fuller and Ray Henderson left for the Julian country last Monday. It is understood they will return with load of fruit.
 We understand that work will be be- gun on the new school house at Silsbee soon. It will be welcome addition to our town and one that is badly needed.
 w. M. Orrick received a telegram as witness ill the Dees case. It was Orrick who arrested Dees at Silsbee the same day of the killing.
 J. R. Ravens and J. M. Gaines went to the mountains last week. They will return shortly with the families of Mr. Ravens and MT. Nichols, who have been spending the summer near Foster.
 E. l.. Maydole and family, accom- pam jed by Mrs. Roy Rumsey and Miss Maud Van Arman, left for San Diego last Friday, overland. Mrs. Rumsey goes to Ell Cajon and Mss Van Arman to Escondido.
 Jos. Miller, of Ell Cajon, who has lately taken charge of a ranch near Imperial, visited last Sunday with his old friend, Roy Rumsey. Joe says the Valley is all right but he could stand it lust a wee bit cooler.
 It is pleasant to notice the happy ex- pression worn by nearly everyone since the latest development in the water situation became known. We like our Uncle Samuel very much, and his aid just now will be greately appreciated.
 The tonsorial business is booming in Silsbee. Ruff's Tonsorial Parlor, (which for the present will be a tent) is ex- pected to be in "commission" by the latter part of the week. while Allen Jones continues to wield the razor and shears in the rear of Cambell's store. Success to you, boys.
 Imperialists and other less favored residents of the Valley, are awaking to the fact that Blue Lake, at this season, is the "fnest thing that ever happened". Dan Browning's big boat is ill great demand for swimming parties, and the usual comment of the visitor is 'I just wish that lake was aearer hOme."
 The new store building just com pleted by R. L. Rumsey is a credit to the town. It is an adobe building 29x70 feet, with porches in front and rear, and basement l8x50 feet. The rear of the building is used for living rooms at present, but Mir. Rumsey says he will have trade inside of a year that will require the whole store for business purposes-and we believe he will.

 Cholera and DiarrhOea Remedy

Allow me to give you few words in praise of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, says Mir. John Hamlett, of Eagle Pass, Texas. suf fered one week with bowel trouble and took all kinds of medicine without get ting any relief, when my friend, Mir. c. Johnson, merchant here, advised me to take this remedy. After taking one dose felt greatly relieved and when I had taken the third dose was entirely cured. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting this great rem edy in the hands of mankind

Referring to our Ensenada railroad news of recently the San Diego Fri bune says:
 "It will be remembered that when Mir. Pope was bere few weeks ago he said that he was going into Lower Cal ifornia to look over some mining prop critics. It seems, however, from the story in the PRESS that he had some- thing else in mind He was known at Ensenada as a Southern Pacific man. The reports that an engineer of the Southern Pacific was in the city few days ago engaging men for surveying work is confirmed, their services be- ing desired for the survey being con- ducted by Mir. Pope. The route from Ensenada to Calexico has been con- sidered impracticable, but MT. Pope appears to be looking it over all the same.

A Literary Find.
From the London Chronicle.


Sir Edward Sullivan, Bart, writes in
the February Nineteenth Century, of a
forgotten volume in Shakespeare's H.
brary"-that is to say, of book which
Shakespeare seems to have known and
used largely in his writing. however little
the fact has been noted. 1t is one of ex-
IRENE rarity, and the opening part of it's
title runs as follows:
The Civiie Conversation of M. Steeuen
Guazzo, written first in Italian and MOVIE
translated out of French by George-Pet-
tie. divided into foure bookes''
Sir Edward Sullivan remarks:
The work was evidently much read in
England. as 1t went through two editions
IN the course of six years-the second edi-
uon appearing in 15S6-so that, having re-
gard to Its character and popularity. there
is nothing surprising in the assumntion
that Shakespeare in some way became ac-
quainted with It's contents"
Certainly he would have found i'm If a
picture of italian manners, ceremonies
customs, occupations. foibles. dress and
thought of the day''-a storehouse of in
formation for a play laid In Italy Sir
Edward Sullivan gives quite a long series
OF parallelismS between Shakespeare's writ
lngs and Petties translation of the "Ciyile
Conversation. The play of Hamlet" alone
supplies eight cases of remarkable .simf-
larity of thought and mode of expression. .
and. as Sir Edward remarks I'VE are
aware with what freedom Shakespeare util
lied the current literary material of his
day"
