sissEE SOCIETY.
. e<ee%~~~>~>%%%%a .

In after years one of the most en- joyable memories to those who were present, will be that of the linen shower which was given on Monday evening at the home of MT. and Mrs.
 Charley Thomas, Tn Upper Tombstone
 canyon.
 The affair was arranged and given
 by the young ladies of the Anona club
 in honor of Miss Cloyd Thomas one of their beloved members. Besides
 the members of the club and their
 escorts many valued friends from the
 Deighborhood and town were present. The residence of Mir. and Mrs. Thomas being the most homelike and beautiful spot in Bisbee, has given rest and pleasure to many of the young people who spend weary hours in of, flee or rooming house.
 Such place is a treat for tired eyes and bodies. To the guests, as they drove up 10 the gate the scene was charming. There among the foliage of trees and vines, Japanese lanterns cast a red tinted glow. High above and over all, the folds of "Old Glory strengthened to the breeze as though to do honor to one of Bisbee's fairest nIaidens.
 Throughout the evening the sweet strains from the Orchestra lent a most pleasing effect 10 the listeners who conversed in subdued voices.
 After the guests had admired the beautiful gifts of linen and silver, the dining room was emptied of furni- turo for tho r,1ao ctra ,S fhooa 5oSfripO
 to dance.
 During the evening Mesdames No
 Ian and Shields and Mir. Blair accom-
 panied by Mrs. Philbrook added their musical selections to the program
 Two large swings, couches, and rocking chairs were placed on the
 veranda and under trees for the com fort of guests Many enjoyed cooling draughts of water from the Bucket
 which hanged in the we'll"
 Sherbert, punch and cake were served to the hearts content. The guests were unanimous h ex- pressing appreciation to MT. and Mrs. Thomas for the very pleasant evening at their home. As one by one they de- parted, the stars and stripes waved farewell to the voices of those who sang "The Star SpangIed Banner, Oh long may she wave"
 So scattered were the guests among the trees and cozy hooks of the gar den that the names below are only a partial list Of those present: Mesdames Phllbrook, Castle, Woods, Nolan, Howells, Cobbe, McGuirk, D.

WATER IN SALTON SEA |S STILL
 RISING
E. H. Hartman and RecIama- ton Service Engineers
 in Consultation.

Water in Salton Sea is still rising at a rapid rate, and t is an oren question whether the river will be turned to the gulf in time to prevent the abandonment of the present track of the Southern Pacific company.
 Press dispatches from Washington are to the effect that E. H. Hartman of the Southern Pacific company and engineers of the reclamation service have been in consultation with view to cooperation.
 It is also stated that negotiations between this government and Mexico are being considered with q view to the United States securing right of way for a canal through Mexican ter ritory. This would have iu view the double purpose of the government aiding in the control of. the river and at the same time preparing to put water on a large body of government land in the valley. It is claimed in the telegram that the SouIhsrn Pa. cific company is in a good position to turn the Imperial irrigation wor ks over to the government. hat the railroad company contemplates raak. ing this system a part of the govern n:ent system is not credited in Iii pc rial, as that would imply gaining the consent of all the land owners. Tc do this would imply long delay, and great opposition to government con trcl of the system might e expected At the same time, there mi yht be ar agreement for joint use of the mair canals, the government to put in ar irrigation system on the unclaimed lands adjoining the Imperial system E-impreiaI Standard

We say your coffee, because there are so many different kinds and con- binations, and not ali persons can drink the same kind.
 For some 1t may be too strong, for others too acid; for others too oily, and for still others it may be too heavy.
 These are the reasons that some oth- erwise intelligent persons suffer from drinking their favorite beverage.
