1t has been frequently reported that
large quantities of pure silica have
been discovered. and the community

PALETTE, LYRE AND PEN CLUB

The first meeting of the Palette, Tyre and Pen club will be held early this week at the home of Homer Grunn. The club will then be organ ized, though on rather loose lines. as it is not the purpose of the promoters to smother the free and easy spirit of the gatherings with a system of by laws, ordinances and regulations The prime motive of the new club is to foster the spirit of the arts It is not believed that the club intends to take art SO seriously that its gatherings will be shrouded in a thick and learn ed gloom. Dissertations on the early music of the Chaldeans or recent archaeological discoveries by Dr Sch merkase will hardly be found on the club programs. The club members think that art should be enjoyed and they are going to enjoy it. Later in the year they will probably give some entertainments and receptions to prominent musicians, artists and au- thors who occasionally visit this part of the world, and for these meetings Mrs. Shirley Christy has kindly prom ised to give the club the use of the conservatory of music If possible the charter membership will be limited to 20 that the organization may not be unwieldy at the start. As many other names have been proposed a waiting list may be made out and others ad- mitted as the club develops.
 BAD FOR NESS-"This rain may be all right for the sheep men. but it is mighty tough on our busi- ness,' said a tonsorial artist Satlir- day night. The observation was rather an interesting one, for it is doubtful if the people generally ever considered the effect of wet weather on the luXuriance of hirsute vegeta- tion. or if they did they doubtless imagined that whskers, like most everything else, would grow better with plenty of moisture The sub ject was followed up with the barber. who said he could not explain the matter scientifically, but he had found. by experience that when it rains trade in his establishment drops off over 90 per cent It was suggested that it might be due to the inclem- ency of the weather that kept sub urban and country patrons at home His reply was that on the contrary the first patrons to pass up their

 MUSICAL SERVICE AT M. E. CHURCH-The first Of a series of Sunday night services, which was given last night at the M.

Last night was given over to GOunOd. While the choir is not yet as large as it will be later on. and consequently lacks the volume of a large chorus, yet the two numbers given last night were very well sung and appreciated. They were, "Un- fold, Ye Portals" from the Redemp- tion. and "Sanctus." Miss Bessie Al eXander and Miss Louise Murphy sang a duet.

 NEWMANS AT AIROoME-In spite of the adverse weather conditions last night. a large crowd turned out to witness the opening performance of the "Newmans" at the AirdOme. This clever team more than came up to eX- pectations and Manager Echlan has again secured a head-liner. The sketch played by the Newmans bears the name of Mariners Rest" special set of scenery is carried by them for this act. the opening scene being that of harbor in Australia, with the Mariners Rest Inn" in the foreground and the lighthouse on the point and ship in the distance. This scene is transparent and when lighted up makes a beautiful effect The act contains several good musical mum bers The Newmnns have only recent ly arrived from Australia, of which country they are natives, and Phoenix is one of the first cities to welcome their act They will remain at the Airdome for the entire week and leave next Sunday night for Fl Paso where they are booked Co play at one of the leading theaters.

He will probably paint desert pie bungalo on the edge of the desert which he can use as a studio.
 PATH MAKERS The pedestrians on Theater Row, that is, those who have ever seen the snows of the northern states were reminded of their native cline yesterday afternoon when they saw the attaches of the Peoples. Electric. and Airdome theaters with shovels, cutting paths across the street from one theater to another, these paths differed somewhat however from the northern ones inasmuch as they were cut through mud and not snow. It is customary for the patrons of one theater to visit the other and thereby spend the entire evening among the three and as there is no street crossing nearby it has been deemed necessary to make Q path

It may seem a bit sophistical, but it seems to be demonstrated by this mans investigation, that even a bar Der can do better in an irrigated country than elsewhere.
