Robert l.. owen, of Oklahoma, is
the senator who receives more invi-
tations than any OF his colleagues
to address women's clubs. Some of
his fellow senators joke him by say
ing it is because he is so handsome
His good looks are apparent, but
there is another reason why women
like to hear him speak before them
and for them He made a speech
two years ago before the house com
mittee on judiciary in favor of wo-
man suffrage, ana ever since then
he has been the recipient of many
invitations from womea's organiza-
tions. Incidentally Mr.. owen never
misses an opportunity in these
speeches TO say how much he owes
to women's influence and 10 pay "a

Hotel Cohen.

At Hermosillo the Hotel Cohen is undergoing course of remodel ling and re6tling that when com nleted will make 1t one of the most comfortable, convenient and well appointed caravanseries in Mexico. Marked changes and improvements are in hand both in the internal arrangement and exterior finish. The facades facing both Gales Hidalgo and Morelos have been carried some four feet higher, ad- ding and giving the structure an appearance much more lofty and handsomer in proportion. A mar bled cornice surmounted by a low balustrade crowns the brick walls, which are finished with rough plaster, olive colored, marked in large blocks resembling massive masonry. The interior of the structure is being remodelled in many different ways. The patio and all the floors are being laid in cement, large billiard room and club room adjacent are to be added to the cantina, and one of the rooms beyond the office is to be fitted as a parlor. The stairway is broadened and made easier to sur mount, and the dining room, on the second floor is enlarged and made more convenient and com fortable. All the guest chambers are being remodelled and furnished anew and several of them are con- nected with bath rooms. In the kitchen there has been installed a new and expensive range, with all the latest fixtures and appliances for the art cuisine. When com pleted, which will be within five or six weeks, the house will be a model of convenience and comfort.

A Happy New Year.

We take this opportunity of
wishing our many customers hap
py and prosperous New Year. We
only hope the coming year will be
as prosperous for ourselves as has
been the year just ending. But
prosperity should be, we think, our
reward, for it has required pains
taking up to date business methods
to gain it. We have strived to
please. We have put into stock
every article the community seemed
to require, and. consequently. dis
appointments are few. And yet
we have no dead stock, no stale or
shelf-worn goods to be disposed of
at . discount. to which fact we wish
to call the public's attention espec-
tally.
May the Horn of Plenty share its
good things with you all for nine
teen-ten Is our sincere wish.

In making up your assortment of
good resolutions for the new year,
be sure and do not overlook one of
the most important, And that is to
resolve to buy your meats for 1910
at market where only good meats
are handled, where no question has
ever been raised as to its goodness
and where fair treatment and cour-
tesy ever hold sway. If you do this
you will naturally conclude that
Bitgood & Cole will get your trade
during 1910 because they measure
up fully to the above conditions. If
you are undecided, ask any patron
of this market as to the conditions
existing there and of the treatment
they receive at their hands and the
result is assured-you will buy your
meat at Bitgood & Coles.
