Missionary Meeting

The w. II. M. society was enter
tanned Friday afternoon from to 8
o. clock by Mrs. MARTINEZ and Mrs.
Veidt at the beautiful home of Mrs.
Martinez in the Bath addition. II
was bright, sunny afternoon and
the members OF the society and invit-
ed guests came promptly at the hour
for the gathering and soon the light
elegantly furnished rooms were filled
with the noise of voices engaged in
pleasant gossip, small talk and dis
cussng domestic science pertaining
particularly to pumpkin pie, roast
turkey ard other of the Thanksgiving
menu. Society was called to order
by the president, Mrs. Kimbrough,
who led in repeating the Lord pray
er in concert. Mrs. RouIett then IA
vored those present with a fine reni-
oring OF Down on the Flo Grande. I"
Next an article on Home Mission
works was read showing the progress
made by the society since its organi.
zaztion. Mrs. Holding then introduc-
ed Thanksgiving game, sheets of
newspaper were distributed and each
lady reques ted to make cap which
was to be worn the remainder of the
afternoon. The cap must be an ex-
act reproduction Of the Puritan cap
worn at their first Thanksgiving; but,
o dearl,, skill and memory failed
some of us, we fear. Strips of paper
on which were written the names of
all preser were distributed together
with blank paper on which each must
write some thing for which the per-
son whose name they had drawn
should be thankful. This was a
pleasant task. So much easier to
see our neighbors blessings than ours
isn't il? The game created much
laughter. Some one in the humor-
ous rhyme told a multitude of things
for which Mrs Lowery should be
thankful, but said her chief delight
was in collecting church money and
that parsor age fund, we'll. she is the
live wire of that committee and of
course we shall all hear from her.
Miss Marguerite Miller and Miss
Rachel Downing sang beautifully the
song "Under Southern Skies, after
which delicious lunch of ice cream
and cake was served and the guests
on leaving thanked Miss veidt and
Martinez for the pleasure of the
afternoon.
Besides the members of the society
we noticed present: Mesdames Hold

Metropolitan LyCeum Course

We are proud that Anadarko is 10
have first class Lyceum Course this
winter. For awhile it looked as
If we were going to have to be with
out these high class entertainments
until a committee was appointed to
visit the business men and find out
the sentiment towards Lyceum.
The committee found every business
man approached enthusiastic for a
course. They at once began to look
for a short course of the very best
talent. as q result q three number
course was contracted for. Every
number comes highly recommended
and is a high priced entertainment.
Although the talent is the highest
quality. it has been made possible to
sell the season tickets at very low
price. SIPS. At this low figures it
is hoped to sell enough season tickets
to insure the course to pay out.
The first number, which is to be
n"xt Tuesday night, NOV. 20, is
render and impersonator of national
reputation, Miss Olive McClintic of
whom it is said "none excel and but
few equal" Her Chautauqua re-
engagements are evidences OF merit
Miss McC,intic possesses most en-.
gaging platform presence, being
strikingly attractive in face and
figure, having voice strong, nelodi-
ous and sympathetic. All her efforts
have met with tremendous popularity.
The second number, which VIII
come in December is a humorist
lecturer, Mr. Franklin Pearce Jolly,
who is known throughout all our
country as one of the best popular
lecturers on the platform. As Prof
B f Nihart of the Central State
Normal, Edmond, Okla, says; 'In
word painting, impersonation, in
struction, entertainment and delivery
Mr. jolly is equal to the best.
The third number, which is equal
in merit with the others, is the Illi.
nois Glee Club. Their entertainment
is a concert consisting of male quar-
tette, solo work and bell ringing.
Their swiss bells together with their
perfectly blended voices, make one of
the most satisfactory entertainments
given the public. This concert in
cludes some of the most difficult
selections by the best composers, but
is characterized chiefly by songs of
popular character including many
humorous songs and the old songs,
which everybody likes to hear. Their
beautiful ringing of the Swiss Bells
alone make this most popular enter
tainme Mt.
Wherever they go they are de-
clared the best number ever in the
city. Seats for sale at the + o
News stand. The course is TO be
held in the Christian church in order
to save the expense and thus make
the tickets cheaper. The sests are
going fast and ought to be reserved
Saturday in order TO get good seats.

WINTER RHUBARB CULTURE
PROGRESSES AT INGLEWooD

The Inglewood Rancho company reports a
steady demand for it's property and great
many persons are visiting the rancho daily
These realiZs the necessity of having one or
more acres close to the city upon which to
make living.
Mr.. Patton recently returned from an ex-
tended visit to Ventura county and several
other places in Southern California where
crimson winter rhubarb is being successfully
raised, and 1t is the intention of the man
agement Of the Inglewood Rancho company to
plant several acres of this variety of rhubarb
at once. Through their efforts several pur-
chasers in the rancho are arranging to plant
rhubarb. The soil there has been found to
be particularly adapted to this purpose, as
well as for all other small fruits and vege-
tables.
An association has been formed to handle
the product of which any one on the rancho
raising rhubarb may become member, there
by being assured of market. .-
Probably 5000 plants will be put to the acre
and as the production is about ten pounds a
plant and the wholesale price now is 3 cents
a pound, making a gross return of $500 an
acre, it will readily be seen that the profits
are much more than for any other crop that
can be raised.
Among those preparing to plant rhubarb
are the following: Inglewood Rancho Co., 6
acres; c. A. Schoenborn, 5 acres; J. 3. Led
ouX, acres; NJ. J. Fitzgerald, acres; NJ. B.
Hamilton, 4 acres.

TO IRRIGATE MORE
THAN 5000 ACRES
CONDUIT FOR WATER SUPPLY
is ASSURED
Splendid Mesa Land of Glen Helen
Ranch Will Be Turned from
Stock to Culture Of
Fruit

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 2O.-An
irrigation enterprise Of magnitude
which will mean much to San Ber-
nardino is forecasted in the announce
ment that the Muscoy Water company,
owners of the Glen Helen ranch, about
six miles northwest of the city, will at
once start the building of a large con-
duit for a water supply" to bring not
less than 500 acres of splendid mesa
land under cultivation.
The plan of the company, which has
extensive water rights in the Cajon
creek, which flows out of the Cajon
pass, is to build a 20-inch pipe line,
two miles in length, which will deliver
the water from the creek at the high
est point of the tract to be brought
under irrigation. The plan is to build
a distributing system over the tract
and then cut it up into small holdings
with water rights.
The engineering work is in the hands
of Civil Engineer w. E. Condor, who is
on the ground and has been for some
time William Price Johnson Of San
Francisco, president of the Muscoy
company, is expected from San Fran
cisco to look after the carrying out Of
the complete plans of the company.
The Muscoy company has owned the
Glen Helen ranch for years. 1t COM
prises about 5000 acres of choice mesa
land, some of which is under cultiva-
ton, but the most of it has been
fenced and used for a stock range, be-
ing valuable for that purpose.
The land is of excellent quality, 1y-
ing at the mouth of the Cajon pass,
and will be valuable for the growing
of many crops, especially grapes and
many other fruits, and when cut up
with a bountiful water supply will
make ideal homes. And the filing up
of the tract by homeseekers should add
greatly to the prosperity of San Ber-
nardino, which will be its natural bust
ness center.

COMPANY ORGANIZES TO
BUY MORENO TERRITORY

HEMET, Feb. 2O.-It is reported a
company has been organized to pur-
chase $4,000 acres of land northwest of
Hemet, including most of Moreno and
neighboring territory. Moreno is the
principal point between Hemet AMI
Riverside or Redlands. It is the half
way station.
Three wells have been bored on the
property and it is stated each well
will furnish $50 inches of water when
pumped
The output of oranges this year
should be nearly 200 cars from that
section. The Moreno nurseries had
half a million orange trees this season,
and there is a demand for all Of them.
If the scheme to improve and develop
the $4,000 acres of land is carried out
the railroad proposition will assume
additional Importance. No doubt
Hemet will be asked to cooperate and
likewise San Jacinto.
Mr.. Hendrick, capitalist from Penn
sylvania, has spent a large amount of
money in the Moreno section.
The progress of events in Hemet,
San Jacinto and Moreno, the pros
poets Of an immense harvest, the
abundant water supply, the rapid in
f1ux of wealth and population indicate
something big is going to happen.
