Valentine Party at Masonic
TemDle.

The joint Masonic party on Tuesday
evening, Feb. IA, 1911 was the leading
social event of the season.
The Fraternity has long since estab-
lished a reputation for giving delightful
and enjoyable parties, the n on the
evening of Valentines day was no ex-
ception.
The committee in charge worked
faithfully, sparing neither time O
expense.
A large number of out of town
Masons and their ladies were present as
usual. The banquet from 6 to s was in
charge Of Brother Frank Suth0rs, who
with assistance Of ladies and the young
er members Of the order, served those
present in a highly satisfactory manner
with a very delicious. and tempting
menu. About $50 were served at sup
The banquet room was beautifully
decorated appropriate to the day. The
color scheme was red and white.
Hearts and Cupids hung in profu8ion
from the lights, ceiling, and around the
music platform.
The program that followed the ban
quet, although hurriedly arranged, was
nevertheless enjoyed.
The committee had prepared a play
| appropriate to the day, but owing to
the wreck on the Mineral Point &
Northern had to be abandoned, as Mr..
DunWiddie, who was injured, did not
feel able to take part; and W. D. Brown
was unable to be present. Both Of
whom had prominent parts in the
program. The committee hope at some
future date to present the play.
Following the program came the
dance which was as usual a very pleas
ant feature Of the evenings entertain
ment. 1t was quite noticeable that a
great number of the older people that
do not dance remained until the small
wee hours to enjoy the sweet strains OF
music and mingle with the merry
dancers.
Anderson orchestra of 8 pieces fur
nished delightful music during sup
per for the program and dance.
Taken altogether the party of 1911
was a grand success.

What a Man Can DO
Laborer Pays for and Develops a
Farm While Working i'm Mill

Purchasing eighty acres of
wild land, clearing it, construct
ing the greater part of the build
ings and bringing up a family of
eight children, all upon a salary
of 81. so a day earned by work
ing a night shift at a Marinette,
Wis. paper mill, is one of the
most striking records brought
out by the census enumerators
of that State. August Malkow-
ski is the man with this record,
and his neat, we'll kept farm near
city is evidence positive of his
frugality and industriousness.
Malkowski came to this coun
try eight years ago unable to
speak a single word of English.
He began work on a night shift
in paper mill and bought eighty
acres of land on a land contract.
The first year was spent in max
ing small payments on his land
and clearing enough of it for a
small garden. Strawberries and
market produce were planted
and the wife and children as
sisted the husband during the
daylight hours to get it ready
for planting. A small hut fol
lowed and later we'll built house
and barn. Most of the work on
the building was done by NAL
kowski personally during the
hours his fellow workmen were
sleeping.
The farm is all paid for, NAL
kowski has quit his position in
the mill, a small bank account
has been started and the chill
dren are all attending school.
Malkowski is rugged, healthy
man who time and hard work
has not impaired physically.

HomeseekeTs Coming

HomeseekerS and tourists ar
irving in Arizona state that the
big spring movement of colon
lists which started a few days
ago is we'll under way and thou
sands are flocking to- the West
from eastern points. The colon
list traffic is on a one-way thirty
day rate, in effect from March l:
So heavy was the traffic west
in the past few days that Attor-
ney Isaac Hudson of Memphis,
Tenn, who arrived in Phoenix a
few days ago, said that he could
not secure berth accommoda-
tiuns. - He struck the Santa Fe
at Kansas City, and the majority
of berths had been secured in
Chicago. The train which Mr..
Hudson came on was divided in
to several sections.
The advance tide of the big
spring colonist movement has
already begun, movement that
the railroad men declare will be
the biggest in the history OF
western railroading. John j.
Byrne, a big railroad man, who
has just returned from the East,
made a careful study of the con
ditions affecting this class of pas
senger traffic.
"While the spring colonist
movement is generally not as
heavy as the one in the fall OF
the year, actual investigation
makes it safe to say that this
year will see a larger movement
of colonists into Arizona, Utah,
Nevada, New Mexico and Cali
fornia than ever before. Recent
visits with our agents in the East
and Middle West made it appar-
ent to me that more people were
coming west in the spring OF
1911 than any one year hitherto.
This view has been justified in
the fact that we have already
been advised that twenty colon
ist cars have been reserved to
handle the business from points
along the MISSISSIPPI river. The
movement is not confined alone
to the Middle West States. They
are coming from ali sections of
the country.
'FThe colonistS are already ar
irving in Utah, Nevada, Arizona
and New Mexico. The two trans
continental lines entering here
will handle big numbers each
day."
