The fire was drawn from the brick kiln Thursday morning, and the brick will now be put on the ground for the hotel, on which structure work will probably be begun early next week. Contract has been let for the work.
 Work on the grade of the Holton Interurban railroad is making steady progress, the camp having been moved to Holtville this week. This is done to get where there is plenty of water. The grade is now finished to within five miles of HoItville. Word comes from San Pedro that the ties have arrived there for the road and will be at once shipped to Imperial. Track laying is expected to begin by about March l5.
 The great canal for the power plant, which will be one of the large engineer ing structures of the valley, is making good progress. Nine teams are working at camp No. and seven at camp No. 2. As a result large amount of dirt is being moved.
 Piles are being driven on the No. 5 heading, and when repaired it will be the finest structure in the irrigation sys- tenn of the valley.

Mir. and Mrs. w. F. Holt this week escorted to Holtville Superintendent Ingram and Assistant General Passen- ger and Freight Agent Parkyns and other officials of the Southern Pacific Company and their wives. It was a combination of business and picnic, the gentlemen being greatly interested in the development of the valley, and the ladies enjoying the novelty of the trip.
 Work on the No. 5 system is being steadily extended to the northward, where considerable acreage of grain has been recently planted.
 Throughout the Eastside section the crops are coming on splendidly and the farmers are we'll pleased with the out look.
 There will be social at the Christian Church Saturday evening, for which considerable preparation is being made.
 Dr. G. T. Grcenleaf, for several years recognized as one of the leading physi- clans of Redlands, has taken up his res idence in Holtville, where he will prac- tice his profession.

I fancy it may be soul Perhaps the soul of melody! So let it drift, and sink, and swell With every motion of the deep! The bugle hangs against my wall, And when 1 will, I'll send once more A blast upon it to the sea, To keep the lost one company.

THE STRANDED BUGLE

Leroy E.. Mosher, for years editorial writer on the Los Angeles Times, con- mitted suicide by shooting himself at Santa Monica beach Tuesday. MT. Moshers masterpiece, "The Stranded Bugle," is widely known. It was written about 1877 on the spot the author chose for the final act of his life.]
 One eve, I, musing, paced the sands That skirt shore where sets the sun; Where every ripple of the sea Is warm as kisses, love to love; I listened to the droning waves The lace-like waves which fret, and lave The tinted shells upon the beach. Among the jetsam washed ashore I found, deep in a sea-weed bed, A bugle, with the rime of years, Corroded, furnished, long since dumb. I paused, and wondering whence it
 came,
 Stopped down and took it from the
 sand.
 Long, long before, I, young, had stood Where armies gathered and advanced, Where sabres clanked and trumpets
 blared,
 And had been bugler then. dipped the mouthpiece in the sea I dipped the bell into the sea l washed it's battered, brazen throat, Then held to lip, and flung a blast Out on the pulsing, starlit air. The long hushed bugle woke and rang A limpid cadence Tong the shore, Which drifted out to sea, and came In nipples back upon the waves, Which rocked it's echoes back and forth From cliff to cliff-against the crags- Far up the heights, around and round As though it pealed, "I'm found, Pm
 found ID
 I blew again, softer note, Though full, which rang along the
 land
 Rang full, and clear, and sweet, and far, I thought (but could it swell so high?) I heard it echo 'gainst star, Then drop into the placid sea, A strain O. perfect melody. I hear that last note ringing yet, Like cry of lost one far away, Adrift and drifting past recall:

style the tall, slender girl will revel in,
for the skirts can be fitted at the hips by
means of rows upon rows of shirring,
thus giving her a charming curve below
the waistline. The more generously built
girl, though, need not look askance on
this style, because what with stitched
down plaits over the hips, sharply gored
breadths of material, and the other ways
and means which naturally suggest them
selves to the clever eouturiere, she can
wear these quaint styles to just as much
advantage as can her more fairy-like
sister
These quaint, old fashioned styles lend
themselves so we'll to the expression of
individual trimming schemes and fancies
that there is no reason why any girl
who follows the fashions cannot have as
charming and original Lenten ward
robe for herself as her purse will per-
init or her ingenuity accomplish. The
Grandmother Gowns as one young
lady belle calls her frocks, lend them
selves beautifully to the little economies
which are such a fad with some girls
The low cut neck, with its long shoulder
line. is really temptation to have the
yokes or guimpes separately, and so have
quite a repertoire of these little acces-
sories. Rather a clever idea is to have
little sets made, these consisting of a
yoke mounted upon what dressmakers
abroad term a false foundation-this a
lining which looks not at all unlike a
corset cover in cut, and is not boned-
and with the yoke those dear, quaint
little undersleeves which will be attach
ed to the sleeve lining of the false foun-
dation. "A deep girdle, which will either
match or contrast with the color scheme
Of the gown, may. also be included with
excellent effect Given one well-cut frock
Of one of the new silks which are com
ing into vogue, and which partake in
some measure Of the richness of our
grandmother silks, the girl who can
concoct several Of these for herself can
have a number Of changes for her ward
robe at q minimum OF expense. And,

what is better, there Afill be none of the
appearance or makeshift Of scrappiness
about it if only the colors and materials
are well selected.
So, with a repertoire Of the pretty lit
tie luncheon blouses, a frock Of some
sheer material for<the afternoon sewing
classes, Wlii9f are a large factor in the
Lenten chafities, this latter preferably
trimmed with some one or another of the
guipure laces, simple little gown for
evening wear, something much less elab-
crate than a dancing frock--fer dancing
is eschewed by the fashionables during
Lent-but still Enthusiastically an evening
toilette, with these and her outdoor
suits, girl who mingles in fashionable
society can get through Lent and reserve
her more stunning effects for the post
Easter festivities.
And speaking of the sewing classes,
which society SO much affects in the pen
itential season this year, the work is to
be of really practical character. The
babies wards in the large hospitals, as
well as the other institutions devoted to
caring for the little ones, are the recip-
tents of much of the charity, and it is
quite the thing for the smart members of
these fashionable sewing classes to be
able to cut out and make the dainty lit
tie articles of clothing which the hos
pitfalls request.
So it is that the fashion books devoted
to the latest styles for the little folk
will be much in demand as a Lenten di-
version, and the fashionable girl will
learn lot which will no doubt appear
later on in her own charming gowns and
lend touch of originality to her appear
ance that will add in no small degree to
her attractions.

THAT AWFUL PALPITATION
Short Breath, Dizzy, Faint,
Sinking Feeling /!
They Mean That You Have Weak
Heart and Weak Nerves.
Heart Failure and Sudden Death Sure
Unless You Do til, Right Thing Now

Failure or weakness of heart action is
very prevalent. 1t is a most serious and
dangerous condition to be in. The first
symptoms may be very slight, and appar-
emily trivial.
But do not fail to heed them if you
value your life. The warnings are plain
and unmistakable.
Nervousness and weakness, giddiness,
swimming of the head, strange, faint
feelings, trembling, short breath, sinking
sensation, eoldness of feet and legs, fiut-
tering or palpitation in left side of the
chest, feeling of apprehension or anxiety
as of impending danger, drowsiness day
times, sleeplessness at night.
A little over-exertion, excitement or
emotion may bring On the attacks at any
time. Sudden rising from a stooping or
reclining position will cause dizziness,
and rapidly climbing stairs will make the
heart palpitate, produce weariness and
shortness of breath. In some cases there
are pains in the region of the heart, but
in most cases there is no pain whatever.
Neglect of these symptoms will result
in heart failure, spasms or neuralgia of
the heart, or death.
Hon. S. ]. Dana, Fayston, VT, says:

SIT has been my misfortune to suffer
for a long time with a very severe pain
in my stomach and lack of sleep. and
what little sleep l did get was almost
worthless. / was also troubled with
heart trouble. This had become worse
than usual before l used Or. Greene's
Neryura blood and nerve remedy, but
since then l have been greatly helped.
My sleep has been improved, so that
feel refreshed, and in that respect feel
like a boy. The pain in my stomach,
which l called Indigestion, has left me.
| feel as though the wheels of time had
been turned back a few turns. and | at
tribute it all to DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy. | have no hesi-
tation in saying, before all the world,
that Dr. Greene's Nervura leads all the
medicines that have ever come before me.
Publish for the good of others this letter
and my photograph"
If you are suffering from weak heart
weak nerves, or any similar complaint
take DR.. Greene's Nervura blood end
nerve remedy. 1t will cure you and give
you perfect health. These troubles are
especially dangerous and must in all
cases be cured Immediately, or fatal re-
suits will follow.
DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is not a patent medicine, but the
prescription of the most successful living
specialist in curing nervous and chronic
diseases, Br. Greene, of 1o1 Fifth Ave,
New York City. He has the largest
practice in the world and this grand
medical discovery is the result of his
vast experience. The great reputation of
DR.. Greene is a guarantee that his medi-
cine will cure, and the fact that he can
be consulted by anyone at any time, free
of charge, personally or by letter, gives
absolute assurance of the beneficial ac-
tion of this wonderful medicine.

cred with black chantilly and ap-
pliqued velvet flowers, with a little in
ner cravat of white muslin and lace.
Flowered silks are to be extremely
fashionable this spring, and so are the
sprigged muslins of our grandnother's
day. These covered materials are
very pretty trimmed with ruchings Of
taffeta to match the color of the fgur-
ings.
Fichus will be seen largely on SUM
mer gowns, and indeed they are even
now being revived in particularly full
and ornate style on evening frocks.
Skirts require more material and are
becoming more fussy all the time, so
that only the lishtest materials make
up prettily in the new styles.
From Paris GENES word that accor-
dion plating in all its glory is being re-
viyed by the best dressed women.
Some Of the buckles worn at the back
of the wide boned girdles are very stun
ming and cost quite good deal. The
girl who has to economize, however,
can obtain a very pretty effect at the
back of her wide girdle by sewing
three steel buttons on either side of
the center Of the back, SO that they al
most jein at bhe bottom in a v shaped
effect, leaving distance Of about two
or three inches between the top but
tons.
The illustration shows a deep red
gown. The skirt is very full and is
trimmed with wide tucks. A hoodhke
effect is the principal feature of the
bodice This is trimmed with net and
ribbon. JUDIC CHOLLET.
