Dinner Party.

On the evening Of January 9TH, the
pretty home of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. j Bail
ey was the scene of most delightful
dinner party given III honor of Mr.
Baiey's birthday. Dinner was served
at seven with covers laid for twenty
guests, and the tables looked especially
inviting with their pretty decorations
and their load Of good things 10 eat. The
place caro-, Sere unique and very dainty

music, "Auld Lang Syne" and under it a

paper each bearing the name Of one OF
the men represented on the place cards
and found their proper place by first
finding the proper name.
After dinner was over the guests were
supplied with pencils and paper and
asked to write toast to Mr.. Bailey.
The subject being such good one not
one person failed to respond and if hall
the good things hoped for come to pass
Mr.. Bailey will have a delightfully."- long,
successful and prosperous life with not a
little fun mixed in. During the even

well chosen remarks presented to Mr.
Bailey, on behalf of the company, an

high regard and good wishes. Although
the guests gathered early, yet late did

goodbyes were said, for each and all had

GOOD TIMBER SOLD CHEAP.
To Check Ravages of Black Hills Beetle
Purchasers of Infested Timber are
Sought by Forest Service.


Purchasers of Infested Timber are
Sought by Forest Service.
In the effort to check the pine bark
BEETLE, which has been severely attack
ing the forest in parts Of the Black Hills
Forest Reserve, South Dakota, the Gov
ernment is resorting to drastic measures.
| For the first time under the Forest Ser
vice, actual cutting, skidding and burn
| ing of debris have been carried on by
Government employees. Insect-infest-
ed timber, both standing and already
felled under Service direction, is offered
for sale. Large quantities of it can be
| secured at fraction of the price charged
for green wood
Yet this wood is just as good for lum-
Der and railroad ties as green wood and
would ordinarily bring an equal price.
Small sales have not been numerous
enough to remove the infested timber ;
hence it is necessary to offer special in.
ducements if the timber is to be saved
Timber not now accessible can be reach
ed under extensive operations which
would warrant the building Of the neces.
saFy railroads.
This action followed upon a study of
the insect situation on the reserve by
DR.. A. d. Hopkins, in charge of forest
insect investigations in the Bureau of
Entomology, who recommended that the
Service push the cutting and disposal of
infested timber as the only means of
preventing the spread Of the beetles
through wider and wider areas To
broaden the market for the timber a
clause in the agricultural appropriation
bill, last winter, permitted the exporta
ton of timber for two years beyond the
borders Of South Dakota. But even this
has not brought enough or large enough
applications to take the timber which
should be disposed Of Hitherto the
Government has waited for bidder be,
fore advertising for competitors. This
procedure, through delay, threatens too

infested and in the spread Of the beetles
to fresh stands. The Forest Service will
now take the initiative and advertise for
bidders, in order to draw attention to
this timber, which is menace to the
future supply on the reserve.
BY securing prompt purchasers for the
infested logs and standing trees, and des-
troying the insect broods by firing the
bark and slash, it is hoped that the sur
rounding forests will soon be saved from
further insect attack.
The timber attacked by the bark beet
le has not lost its commercial value.
There is no reason why the desired sales
should not more than reimburse the
Government, besides utilizing a large
amount of pine which would otherwise
be wasted

THE LITTLE GREY LADY"


 A powerful drama of intense human interest is ''The Little Grey Lady, which Polls own stock company IS presenting at the Jacques this week. The love interest is strong and the au- diences thus far this week have fol- lowed the action with fiattering at tention. It is the general verdict that it is by far the best production the company has given during the sum mer season. The play has to do with the people who work in the treasury department offices in Washington. A SlOO bill is stolen and as 1t is marked a keen detective interest is worked up in the finding out of the one with the marked bill, The play was writ ten by Charming Pollock and was I big success in New York last season. Miss Frances Nordstrom as Anna Grey, "The Little Grey Lady" wins much applause at every performance for her excellent work. Richard Gordon gives 8. splendid performance as Perry Car lyle. The supporting company is ey- cellent. On Friday afternon Il rose matinee will be given. At the informal reception rose will be presented to each lady. Souvenirs Saturday even ing.

Masdalena Bay. Lower California.

s'eSNe'N'e eeyf by the consent and approval of Mex leo.
 As strategic point Its value is great Magdalena bay is far superior to the harbors of Bremerton. San Francisco and San Pedro. It lies about as far north from the western end of the canal as Guantanamo lies north of the Atlantic end The one big defect is that 1t has no fresh wa. ter. This would have to be carried there in ships or produced by con densing apparatus.
 The Peninsula of Lower California embraces about 100000 square miles and has a shore line of 2.O00 miles. Magdalena bay lies 600 miles from the border line of the United States and about 1000 miles from San Fran cisco. The peninsula is not pleas ant place of residence. It Is hot and barren. there being little agriculture. but some commerce. The principal ports of commerce are La Pac and Santa Rosalia on the Gulf of Califor- mia and Esenda on the Pacific side.
 But there are some very valuable gold. silver and copper mines on 1t, and they are owned largely by Amer lean capital. which would make easier successful negotiations for it's pur- chase by this government. It Is i'm possible to learn exactly how far plans for the acquisition Of a naval base on this peninsula have pro gressed. but 1t Is known that the project has been approved by the general board of the navy department and 1t is stated that It has the ap- proval of the president
 The success of the plan is more probable from the fact that never be- fore h history have the relations be- tween the United States and Mexico been more cordial than they are at present A perfect understanding sp- pears to have been reached between them. and in fortifyis< the western -osst against Possisse attack from the orient the interests of the tvo nations appear to be ice1tieaL

| PACIFIC HARB0R
UNITED STATES MAY BUY MAopA-
 LENA BAY FROM MEXICO.
Would Provide Naval Base for Big Fleet and Prove of Great Strategic Importance to
 This Country.

What this country needs 1t gen. erally goes after, and what it goes after it almost always gets. The United States needs a naval base on the Pacific and she has fixed her eye on Magdalena bay on the Peninsula of Lower California. and there is lit- tie doubt that that which she desires she will be able to secure from Mex leo, even if she has to purchase the whole strip of land, thing which the Diaz government has been anxious for us to do for years. With this har' bor in our possession 1t would be pos. sible to provide naval base with sufficient coal supply to serve all the ships on the Pacific station, including those which it is inteded to send thither.
 Overtures have been made to the Mexican government by the state de- pertinent, and information has come through Ambassador Creel that Mex ico thinks very well of the proposi- tion.
 It is probable that nothing definite will be done in the matter until fall, when Secretary Root will go to Mex leo. His mission to that country is primarily for the purpose of adjusting things with reference to the South American republics. But it is evident that if Mexico will consent to a sale of Magdalena bay 1t may have the settlement of South American ques- tions pretty much its own way.
 The importance of this bay for a naval base is appreciated at glance. In connection with the Panama canal it will have even greater importance. It is 40 miles long and is the only harbor on the Pacific coast that will accommodate large fleet like that which is to sail soon for the western waters. Not only will it accommodate the largest fleet afioat, but 1t affords room for maneuvering, 1t can easily be fortified, and 1t is in the line of travel from the western end of the canal to San Francisco and other har- bors to the north. For some time it has been used by American warships for target practice. this being done

HEAD CUSHION FOR CHAIR.
Intended Primarily for Wicker Porch
 Furniture.

Comfortable. and delightful in many ways as wicker armchairs undoubted. ly are. they have one serious draw. back. As headrests they leave much to be desired. since the hard wicker border is anything but restful when one is anxious, perhaps. to enjoy the luxury of an after-dinner nap.
 A soft cushion tied securely to the back of the chair. so that it fits com. fortably between the wicker border and the head. makes all the difference in the world; and we give sketch of one of these cushions. showing very clearly how 1t should be made, which should prove of interest to our read.

 In shape. the cushion somewhat re- sembles an inverted teacosy. It is covered with soft serge or silk, and

Goiaer Days.
Oh, days of old. oh, days OF gold,
Oh, days We used to know
When life was new and hearts were true,
When streams were wont 20 flow
With tinkling tunes and luiling croons
And laughing songs and glad
About our feet and life was sweet
To just lass and lad,
Oh, rounded stones and monotone3
OF streams we used to wade.
Oh, ripping ways OF other days!
oh. yellow sun that laid
With tenderness ON each gold tress
And kissed each tinted ear
In days Of old, the days Of gold.
The days Of ycstcrycar,
You're twice as sweet as when your feet
Glowed rosy in the tide;
You grow more dear with every year
That finds YOU by my side.
But yet, but yet l feel the fret
OF years that l have told
There was no truth in days of youth,
When life was solid gold.
