{ Palmer reception which took place on 1 last Wednesday night, was the most l brilliant and largest attended social l function that has yet been given n Roosevelt. During the week previous, | between fifty and sixty invitations | were issued, and without a single ex- 1 ception, all who had received them, | expressed their intention to be present l When the evening for the affair came l round it seemed that all Roosevelt
 must be there, for the magnificentIy ! decorated residence presented a very 1 lively and pretty scene as the throngs i passed in and out during the hours l between eight and ten-thirty.
 The motif for the entertainment of | the guests was one of the many pretty
 ones made possible by the idea of St. 1 Valentines day. The whole house was
 a mass and tangle of many-hued
 strings of interminabIe length At the | end of each was a very pretty little | Valentine-the work of one of the host
 esses, Miss Palmer, done in water color. which the guest received for his | perseverance and skill in following the | string to it's end. Prizes were award ed for the first and last ones to com plete their search, the first prize, a l Btdu LII water l-COlOA StAGACA ny MISS | Palmer going to Charles Dearsley,

 Contractor O'Rourke fired a blast on Hast Thursday morning which for nois- ! mess and amount of rock removed
 beats all records during his work on 1 the dam About 1000 pounds of pow der was placed and fired in several holes simultaneously by means of an ] electric battery. The shots were very
 well placed and in exploding they tore off over two thousand cubic yards of earth and rock The whole end of q mountain, the great mass sliding ln- to the river below.

 Roosevelt now boasts Of a jail, the
 equal of which is not to be found anywhere. It is ferro-concrete structure throughout and absolutely
 prisoner proof The walls, roof and floor are over foot thick and once q man is locked inside he can never get 1 out. The fact that the thing will be as hot as an oven during the summer months will we believe, have such an ! effect mon the minds of wOuld-be ot-
 lenders of the law that they will think twice before committing crime, and
 bv taking a second thought, they Will
 not commit it.
