most anybody who has a few teams that are not busy, to make a bid for it. The work consists of furnishing the government with a certain quan- tity of. gravel for use in making con- crete for headgate construction and similar purposes. For information as to the quantity of gravel required and the places where it is to be delivered, those interested should apply to En- gineer w. A. Parish.
 The reconstruction of the. Grand canal, so far as the excavation is con cerned, has progressed from the point of beginning. about three quarters of a mile east of the Cave creek road, to a point some distance beyond Alham- bra. The time has arrived now for the placing of the drops in the canal of which there are two within this dis tance, and the turnout gates, or lateral heads, which occur every mile. The drops in the canal and the lateral heads are all to be made of concrete so that once they are in the construction will be permanent. l. will be hard to pull a gate up by the roots and make kind ling of it as has ben done sometimes and it will not have much of a tendency to warp and twist out Of shape. It is not designed that the concrete work shall end there either but the smaller service gates at each farm will be made of concrete also. just as fast as the government can get around to that work. And later when its turn comes the same system will be carried out on the Arizona, concrete heads for all ditches. To do all this work will require considerable gravel and it may pay somebody to go into the gavel business in a wholesale way.

A DELIGHTFUL OCCASION.
Master Marcellus McDavitt Entertains
Many Little Friends in Celebra-

Master Marcellus B., the bright lit

his fifth natal day at the home of his
parents on Seventh and Washington

days previously, each of the little
friends had received tiny cards bear
ing the following inscription:
Master Marcellus B. McDavitt, at
home, from 4 to p. M, August 3,
1908"
Few, if any, failed to avail them
elves of the invitation, and from four
to seven o'clock on the afternoon
named, Master Marcellus, as host, and
his, juvenile guests had royal time.
A string band was engaged for the
afternoon and dancing was one of the
chief amusements of the afternoon.
Various delightful games were also
ing was lacking in fact to make the
ime pass happily for the children.
At a suitable time refreshments
were served in the dining room. The
long table was tastefully bedecked
with beautiful flowers and other orna-
ments The handsome birthday cake
in the center of the table, with five
lighted candles, was naturally the
center of attraction. Sandwiches, ice
cream, cake and bon-bons constituted
the refreshments, which were very
heartily enjoyed.
In order that his little guests might
share in the joys of Master Marcellus'
birthday, each one was presented
with pretty gift as a souvenir of the
day, the girls receiving dolls or other
trinkets and the boys balls or other
such toys as boys would care for,
which added immeasurably to the
delight of the children, and made it
indeed an occasion long to be remem-
bered.
When the hour of parting came,
the little ones departed with many
wishes for happy returns of the day
for their young host, and thanks for
the pleasure which he had so gener-
ously shared with them.

which was harvested early last

CARD.

To the Citizens of Brownsville:
In soliciting new members for the
Lower Rio Grande Valley CONNER
cial Club, it has been our earnest en-
deavor to see everybody and to secure
their names. We have secured ia
members. They are from all walks
of life. The reception we have met
everywhere shows that public senti-
ment is with the club, and we would
give more for the public sentiment
than for the money AS every law
is a dead letter which is not backed
by public sentiment, so a commercial
club will be a dead letter if not
backed by the sentiment of the peo-
pie.
In such a canvass, thorough as we
have tried-to make it, il is impossi-
Bile to see ali, and we earnestly re-
quest that no man feel that he has
been sighted or neglected. If we
missed you, it was not intentional
We want everybody to join. Do not
let it keep you from joining. We ask
that you go to the club and hand in
your name and become one of US at
once, or you may give your name to
either fthe following gentlemen:
Noah Allen, L. H. Hallam, L. Cobo-
lini, and Alba Haywood
A meeting of the club will be call
ed within the next ten days, at which
we desire to see every member pres
ent.
