Recital of Miss jennings.

Of the people who attended
the recital of Miss Mae Jennings
at the Christian church Monday
evening none were disappointed
and most were delightfully."- sur
prised. Miss Jennings proved to
be one Of the best singers that
ever appeared in Lexington. She
styles her voice a mezzo-contral-
to because it has the mezzo range
and the contralto quality. In
New York she is recognized as
one of the leading church singers
of the city.
The program was varied suf-
f~iciently to show that Miss Jen-
nings had versatility but it was
in the French songs that she
was at her best. The Habanera
from Carmen has been given in
Lexington by amatuers and pro-
f~eSsionals many times, but none
of them ever approached the
rendition Miss Jennings gave it.
She was superb.
The program follows;
Part1.

d. Malisande in the Wood. Goetz
g, Mavourneen.. ......." ....,. 81, Lang
I. II Were You
g, The Eli Man John B. Wells
H. Goodbye. ......... Tosti
Every number was heartily
applauded and Miss Jennings
was recalled after each group.
Besides the French songs
Coombs' "Her Rose" Cadman' s
"Hills O. Skye" and Goetz's
"Melisande in the Wood" re-
,ceiyed the most telling treatment.
Miss Margaret Aull, as she al
ways does, accompanied splend-
idly on the piano and Miss Win
fired VIM on the organ added
to the enjoyment Of the evening
by her accompaniment to Gou-
mods Divine Redeemer
The opportunity to hear SO
finished and pleasing a singer
as Miss Jennings was one that
the musicians of this city ap-
preciated and the Christian En-
deavor society, which brought
her here, is to be thanked and
congratulated.

NATURE SUCCEEDS WHERE
FOREST PLANTERS FAIL

BANNING, Dec 22,-Rangers of the
have conscientiously labored to refor
est the reserve during the last year
and are now ready to have some one
explain why seed planted by them to
grow young forests will not grow
while the same seed blown from the
native trees will propagate stalwart
young trees without fail.
Not long ago the forest service un-
dertook to plant thousands of acres
of burned over land with young trees,
and also sowed tons of pine seed. The
results were discouraging, only COM
paratively few sickly trees growing.
The effort has been abandoned TEN =
porarily. AT the same time there are
in the reserve hundreds of acres of
young pine trees, which have been
sOwn by nature and these trees are
invariably healthy.
The operations in the forest just now
are handicapped by lack of funds to
pay salaries, and many of the newer
men are laid off. This situation works
hardship on the policy of development
of the reserve, as it had been planned
to construct many miles of trails and
firebreaks before another dry season
should arrive,

the formal proceedings by this company
toward securing a certificate to issue

prOvements to it's service in Southern
California
The Pacific Electric Company re-
Gently voted to issue the bonds for
the construction of one thousand or
more miles of electric line, reaching
from Los Angeles tot Santa Barbara,
to San Diego, eventually, and to all
cities of any size and territory of any
richness not now covered by it's net
work of lines.
The. fund will also be used for the
extending Of the company's line from

The seed can be had for $3.50 a

Cotton raisers in Imperial Valley de-
clare that as soon as rail transporta-
tion is available San Diego will be-
come the center for numerous cotton
mills. The product now is shipped
across the continent and the by-prod
ucts are handled with little if any

FILL UP YOUR RESERVOIRS
IN TINE FOR 'sHuT-0FF'
Every Valley Rancher Should Take
Notice of the Proposed Stoppage Of
Water Service for One Week.

The Press feels that it is doing the
settlers of Imperial Valley service in
again calling special attention to the
notice that appears in another portion
of this paper to the effect that water
will be shut off from the canals for
the week beginning January 5. This
is for the purpose of making repairs
more expeditiously on Sharp's Head
ing, and to give an opportunity to
sluice out the silt that has collected
in the pond above the heading.
All ranchers should make provision
to have ample water stored in their
reservoirs for use during that period,
and should see that needed irrigation
is done before January 5.

ing the claims of this route whenever
opportunity offers.
