 sefIOn last week with a meeting at
 the cottage of Mrs. w c. Foster. Mrs.

 totals of the season gave Miss Winni-
 fred Jessop the highest score and | Mrs. w. K. James next. ! The tennis court continues the cen ter of interest for the young people. | Why not? It is one of the most beau uful spots in camp. Mrs J. A Marshall has been shut
 in by illness for several days. Mrs Aneil Martin kept open house | for the bridge enthusiasts last week. | Supper followed cards. The highest
 score in either case is not given. The i guests were Mir and Mrs. w. c. Eos | ter, Mrs. w. B. Lount. Mrs. D. II. Bur tis, Mrs. T. w. Pemberton and Miss HOnore Duke.

 medicine philosophically Monday even s,,.- ,ls, l.l nd l,a rra1 I.rr train. w. D. Fulwiler. Emory s. Keys
 and F.. * Bennett were the victims. MT F. G. Hammons and family | left suddenly for home Monday night
 as Mrs. Hammons' condition seemed
 to indicate serious danger of appendi- citis.
 Mir and Mrs. A. J. Chandler of | Mesa, who have been touring Europe | this summer, viewing the cathedrals,
 art galleries, beggars, crowned heads
 and other ancient institutions of the
 continent, arrived in Iron Springs | Monday evening. The doctor left the

 of Mrs. A. c. Mcqueen. 1 Jay Alkire and Paul Bennett stag
 gered into camp the other evening
 with about thirty rabbits strung on their gunbarrels. Boys! this is not
 war; it is massacre" No bears, how ever, this time
 | Ralph Murphy came up from the valley Tuesday morning. Melville
 Fickas also dropped off the same train
 and gave a genial smile to waiting | friends.
 | Another pleasant group of campers | decamped on Tuesday. They were | MT. and Mrs Charles Steele, Mrs. Carl | Gustafson, Mir and Mrs. Arthur A. | Gibson and Miss Catherine Parry, all of Tempe.
 Miss Weda Purcell. Glen Lake and | Ivey Marshall have returned to camp | after spending some time in Prescott. | Miss Rosa c. Montgomery of the | Mercy hospital, Prescott. has been the | guest of Miss Emma Roe Shannon

 until Wednesday afternoon. Mrs w. B. LOunt made her first visit to Prescott on Wednesday, Mrs. | T. w. Pemberton and Mrs. A. c. Me | Queen accompanied Mrs. Lount to
 make sure that she should not get lost in the great city.
 Twenty-four cottages have been
 closed for the season: about the same
 number are still open. The coming
 week will close the most of those still occupied A few families are planning
 to remain a week or two longer This | has been a very successful season for
 the Springs. At high tide there has ] been nearly three hundred people in | the camp. Social life has been very
 active. especially among the younger | set. Many of the older club members | have been absent but their places and | cottages have been occupied by other | families. Newcomers have shown their appreciation of Iron Springs as a va
 cation resort by planning for the erec- tion of new cottages next year. The unusual amount of rain prob | ably accounts for the number of cases of slight illness, mostly among the children. In this respect every year
 emphasizes the desirability of having
 a resident physician. Some good doc
 tor would find needed rest for himself and family. and reasonable financial
 return by locating here during July and August.
 The year will be famous for the in auguratiOn of the new water works.
 which will give improved service next summer. and for the improvement of
 city hill.
