FRIDAY EVENINGS
Entertainment.
Misses Rowe, Walker and Taylor,
Greeted by a Large Audience.

The entertainment given at the Pres
byterian Church last Friday evenig by
Miss Elizabeth Rowe, member of the
M. and F. Elocution class, assisted by
Miss Elizabeth Walker, of the music
class, drew full house and from the
beginning to the close received evidence
OF the hearty appreciation of all pre-
sent. The selections were fine and the
renditions were up to the highest stand
ard and clearly show thorough training
as well as the adaptation of the young
ladies talents to elocution and music.
In response to a pressing invitation
Miss Taylor recited a most appropri-
ate selection and thoroughly impress
ed the audience as an elocutionist of
marked abilities. The power to bring
out the true spirit and motive of an
author, to drive home to the souls of
the hearers the inspiration of the mar
rative or the sublimity of music was
clearly and forcefully manifested both
by Miss Rowe, as an elocutionist, and
by Miss Walkers skillful touch of piano
keys.
TIE entertainment reflects much
credit both on the part of the young
ladies' and their instructors, Mr.. Ohlen-
macher in music and Miss Taylor in
Execution.

"a Call to Service" the subject OF
Rev. A. R. Kasey's discourse at the
Presbyterian Church Sunday morning,
was particularly suited to the occa-
sion upon which it was delivered, being
the closing sermon Of the school year.
Many practical and helpful thoughts
were brought out in most forcible
manner which should appeal to the
minds of all the students who were so
fortunate as to hear him upon
this subject. It's fact that a man
cannot fix his ideals too nigh, as was
stated during the discourse. Some
people might say; "Well your ideal is
too beautiful to be true, but such is
not the case. 1t is beautiful because
it's true" Young men and women in
school should cultivate an inspiration
within themselves during their school
days, so that when their education is
completed they will be prepared to go
out after higher and nobler things in
the world, and that their aim in life
will be one worthy of credit and praise.
The sermon was one certainly to be
appreciated by the young people.

Great things are to be desired more
that they can be bestowed upon those
we love than for the mere pleasure of
their possession. The plaudit of an
admiring public is sweet to the ear
when it is deserved by honest endea-
vor and faithful performance, but to
be able to share this honor with others
and to be able to bestow some of that
which has been so well earned brings a
reward for ambition that cannot be OBJ
tanned by jealousy guarding it and
appropriating everything to ones self.

Farm Ornamentatior.

The adornment of the farm home by making beautiful the deofyard is a fea- ture not so neglected as one would ex- pect to find in so new country as Arizona. Among decorative plants the palm is conspicuous ip Southern Arizona and the pine in the north. The eucalyptus, so prominent in south ern California landscape, has been tried, and out of score of species ex- perimented with, three have been found that do we'll in the southern sec tion. The pepper tree, one of the mosi beautiful of ornamental trees, grows luxuriantly and is a conspicuous orna ment. A native white ash and th, Arizona black walnut are also valuable shade trees. The cottonwood IS fount along all water courses. and the mes quite in the valleys and upon the les, arid mesaS. Many other native and introduced species. both deciduous and evergreen, thrive and are valuable or namental trees for dCoryards, streets and public parks. Roses thrive and blossom every month of the year. The chrysanthemufu, the ''queen of au- tumn," is conspicuous because of its abundance of bloom and it's long flower ing season. ClemaGis,, or virgins bower,' grows well, several native species growing in tangled mass upon the shrubs and bushes in the more moist localities. Cannas grow luxu
 riantly and are covered with mass ot color for long season. ,Verbenas seem to be perfectly at home, and many others of the most popular flowers thrive wonderfully well.

Reports Progress at the Intake:

A. H. Heber, once at the head of the California Development Company, paid Q visit to the work now under way at the Imperial canal heading and at the lower intake, and iii letter to the lm- perial Standard reports conditions very favorable for the early control of the Colorado's flow. He says:
 'Have just returned from the head ng at the Colorado river and find the work progressing in a very satisfac- -ory manner. The excavations for the steel and concrete gate on the Ameri- an side of the line are about complete. 1r. Martin, the engineer, stated to me hat the rock foundation for the gate ,ould not very we'll be improved upon, md that when the gate is completed here will be nothing better anywhere o serve the purposes for which it is intended. It will not he ready for use, however, before about next October.
 The work at the second Mexican in take, where tue company is installing the 200-foot wooden gate, is getting along nicely. The sheet piling and Ither pi!ing is about all driven and the excavation largely done. There is still four or five feet of sand to eXcavate. The framework is being prepared and l was advised by those who ought to know that the gate will be completed in six weeks time, ready for use. This gate is large enough to carry the pres ent flow of the Colorado river; gauges about 19. It will even do better than that. There is no question about it's success. When the gate is completed the water will be diverted through it and the river damned near the diver sion point; which will effectually shut out the Colorado river and the water will be under control. The people Cf the valley need have no fears but that it will prove success. Such is the judgment of everyone with whom l have talked and who has been on the ground and watched the operations. The construction is in charge of first class men and in my opinion we are very near over our troubles.
 Respectfully yours,
 A. H. Heber.
