Ones Point of View.

A girl was telling OF A trip she had
Just made and of the people she had met.
She told how she had been endeavoring
10 talk to a Boston lady as they had
come across a wonderful mountain pass
They couldn't seem 10 get together on
any topic Nothing interested the Boston
lady, and no one could make her talk.
Just as the train pulled into La Junta
she Strengthened up with a smile. and
said in such an interested tone, Why.
that is the first graveyard we've passed
since we left los Angeles" As the girl
finished her story. there was an appreci-
alive little laugh when one lady 20 whom
she was telling the tale, said, why, my
dear, which side OF the car was that
graveyard on? All the times l have
taken that trip it's funny I never noticed
It."

10 BID 0N BRIDGE
Contractors in City Looking Over Plans for Wagon
 Bridge Over Pinal

For the purpose of inspecting condi- tions surrounding the construction of the proposed wagon bridge across Pinal creek at Miners Union hall, represen- tatives of two bridge building concerns are now in this city. 2 J. V. Jenkins of Wichita, Kan, rep resenting the Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron company, and William M. Thom- as, representing the Thomas Bridge Sys- tenn, of Los Angeles, arrived here Mon- day night and spent yesterday in. look ing over the bridge site and preparing bids for the construction work. Both men will file bids with City Clerk Welch today.
 Flats and profile maps of the bridge site were mailed to more than a dozen bridge firms by the city clerk and it
 is expected that a number of bids for both steel and reinforced concrete sstruc- lures will be on hand when the bids are opened by the council.
 Owing to the number of bridge build CTS who are figuring on the construction of the new bridge, it is probable that the city will be able to make this much needed improvement at a cost which will not be excessive.

BUSINESS BUILDING REMODELED F0R
 TENANTS
Hamill Block, With Larger Floor Space, Soon Ready
 for Occupancy

Within the next ten days, the Hamill building, formerly occupied by the postoffice will be practically completed, virtually adding another building to the business district of this city.
 In remodeling this building, the en- tire front, originally constructed of plaster, has been removed and hand some brick front of the modern busi- ness building substituted, The old roof, which did not conform to the new style of the building, is being removed and will be replaced with a flat roof.
 In addition to enhancing the appear ance of the building, the reconstruction work will materially increase the size of the two business rooms of the first floor. one occupied by Van Wagenen s and 'the other to be occupied by In gram s, and at the same time will en- large the front office rooms on the sec ond floor.
 The new brick front is already in place and the store room to be occu- pied by Ingram s will be completed by the end of the week. The work of re- moving the stock of goods from In grams old stand on Broad street near the bridge will be commenced sun day and the establishment will open in it's new quarters about the first of the month.
 While the main store room, occupied by Van Wagenen s, is not to be remod- eied, the entire front is being replaced and new plate glass will be installed within the next few days, giving the entire front of the building a decidedly pleasing appearance. MT. Hamill stated yesterday that the work, which had been done by Contractor R. w. Grabe, would be complete within the next ten days, with the possible exception of the painting, which may require few days additional time.

CLUB RECEPTION

The Women s Wednesday club enter tained the teachers of the city schools at a reception and musicale yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. R. D. Kennedy, 349 North Sutherland street.
 Mrs. F. L. Toombs, the club presi- dent, delivered welcoming address to the teachers and in few well chosen remarks suggested that Superintendent F. D. Smith mention some ways in which the club and the school might work together for the interest and ad- vancement of the latter. In his reply Professor Smith very aptly suggested that the ladies might occasionally visit the school, thereby encouraging the work. For material aid, he said, noth ing better could be done than to sup ply some books for use in the high school as the work is handicapped by the lack of reference books and any sort of general library. Both addresses were brief but very enjoyable and straight to the point. The club will probably decide to follow up those sug- gestions.
 Following Prof. Smith s address was an excellent musical program. Miss Mae Wood sang a beautiful solo, 'Or- pheus With His Lute' by Sir Arthur Sullivan and as an encore, 'Shena VanD from Yolande.
 Mrs. A. F. Maisch played 'The Last Rose of Summer'' as a guitar solo, and responded to an encore with the ' Els tella Galop'' arranged by Delano.
 Schubert Serenade was beautifully | rendered by a ladies' quartette, Mes danes E. c. Decker, Roland Jacobs, F. F. Towle and D. R. Williamson, accom- | panied by Miss Gertrude Vinton.
 Miss Vinton then played sonata from Beethoven as a piano solo and when encored responded with Grleg s "To Spring
 Mrs. F. F. Towle then sang beautl ful solo that is,a favorite with so many s'Fiddle and I.' As an encore she sang "The Way to Spell Blind Pig.
 Mrs. D. R. Williamson sang very difficult selection, Magnetic Waltz Song" by Arditti. She also sang a sweet little lullaby song as an encore.
 Little hatchets bearing portrait of George Washington and tiny tricorne I
 hats were given as favors and delicious cakes and fruit punch were served, fol lowed by mint bon bons in pale green and white, the club colors. The table from which the punch was served was profusely decorated with violets ano green foliage, the violets being also dis tributed among the guests as favors.

Postmaster Ralph w. Sturgis, who, in connection with other business men of this city has purchased the new Palace livery stable, will not enter actively into the management of that concern, but will continue in his present federal position.
