Dinner at 5ouse Was a Credit to the
 Ladies of the Town.

| NickSburg. It seemed tO be the con | census of opinion that never had tn ' business men of this city as a bod! carried out more successfully any pro | ject tending to bring contiguous terri i tory into closer relations with the loca | houses.
 Already a sentiment is being hear, l expressed favoring another similar triI | into some other section, an dit is no at all unlikely that sometime after tn, | holiday period this may be undertaken | by those who went upon the Parker | trip and who have since organized | themselves into boosters club. There were so many interesting fea lures upon the occasion of the trip tha it would be impossible to tell all tha occurred. The Republican yesterday related the details of the reception ac, coded the travellers and left the party 1 just about to partake of dinner al Bouse.
 That dinner at Rouse was worth the whole trip. The ladies of that city rose to the occasion and eXcelled every dream and desire of every member of the Phoenix Business Mems excursion. It was a dinner served out in the open air with the sun bestowing grateful warmth over all.
 A whole beef had been barbecued as beef was never barbccued before. Thomas BouSe was the presiding genius over the great fire and the dripping pans and when he gave the signal it was found that the carcass had been done to just the right turn and that the gravy was of that sort exactly calculated to incite the sal ivary glands to spontaneous action whether a person was actually hun gry or not
 But when the home cooked viands were attacked CattaCkcd" is used ad- visedly) the ability of those genial Bouse housewives and young ladies became perfectly apparent. Such pumpkin and mince pies The kind that mother used to make. The kind that fairly melted in the mouth and made the fourth piece taste better than the third
 And cake. the three and four story varieties with cream or jelly filling and cocoanut or chocolate icings. Every little side relish in the form of Arizona grown oranges and olives. and home made pickles and chili sauce was within easy reach and present in abundance.
 And then the capstone to this din ner was affixed when Louis Garesche. the Ham What Am man. broke in on the gathering with the announce ment that he had just received a wireless message from Ed l.. SLaw. the "El Temple Kid" in the form of good wishes and enough cigars to so the rounds and back again.
 B w. Getsinger could not have SC lected a more suspicious moment f1~ beginning the sale of Rouse townsite lots than immediately following the dinner. Everybody was in excellent spirits and bid with almost reckless abandon until twenty lots had been sold. one given away and two five-dollar gold pieces awarded.
 The lots, which are located in what promises to be the heart of the Bouse business and residence dis tricts brought all the way from SS5 to $210. Messrs Viault and Gold man purchased five or six lots joint ly and it is rumored that C. II. Davidson has decided to erect an eleven or seven-s story building on a lot near the corner where Mir. Get singer said a bank might some day stand.
 The Rose Special pulled into Bouse at 11:3O o'clock in the fore noon and the party immediately de trained. all joining in singing We're Here Because We're Here" The long tables were standing short distance from the depot while the welcome odor of the barbecued steer was waited across the way There was just time to inspect carload of Pay Car Mine ore and pin roses on the coats of every lady in sight before the call to dinner was given
 An inspection of that thoroughly modern hotel of Dennis A Burke and a few remarks laudatory of the ladies who prepared the dinner and an interesting talk by NJ C. Me Dougall concluded the BOuse visita- tion. Among the ladies who either donated the good things which ap- peared on the tables. solicited the donations or served were Mesdames Winkler. Pyle. Marks. Fredericks Wright, Carter. Denton. Winters Morley Melrose, Smith. Eddy. Kra- mer. Bouse. Greenwood. Cavanaugh Coake. Peters. Dunn. Barclay, and Misses Burke. Hamrick and Leasure
 Once more aboard the Rose Spe- cial' a quick run was made to Vicksburg where business men and the ladies of the town were in wait ing and proceeded to greet the ex cursionists in a most royal fashion There were more short addresses more distribution of roses and the party proceeded on to Salome
 But fifteen minutes had been all lotted to Salome and this was spent in a hurried visit to the various mercantile establishments and an i'm spection of various grades of ore As in the other places. the ladies were not forgotten in the distribution of roses and the men received their share of felicitiOus greetings.
 Practically the entire town turned out at Wenden when the Rose Spe- ciar' pulled in. This town enjoys the distinction Of having the only woman agent on the Arizona & Cal ifornia And Miss Leila ee the in-
