MILLINERY OPENING
 PRONOUNCED SUCCESS
Unique in Nature and Largely At.

Hyder Bros millinery opening Fri day evening was more or d success than even those most interested in il in the minds of the proprietors all during the preparation as to just how the public at large would accept the cordial invitation that had been extended. This doubt was set at rest however, within half an hour after the opening hour, for all during the evening the store was thronged and at times the balcony, where the new millinery department has been To- cated. was so crowded it was almost impossible to move about It is roughly estimated that not less than five hundred people visited the store during the course of the evening. and this may be regarded as a mighty good showing for town the size of this one.
 The particular center of attraction for the ladies, of course. was the millinery department Here Mrs Gull Ter, who will have charge of the new department. presided, made the visit ors feel al home and welcome and displayed to them a splendid showing Of the latest creations in millinery

 on the whole. the affair was a most satisfactory and pleasing one, and Hyder Bros. are entitled to much Credit for the manner in which they prepared and handled it. It was rath- CT novel in nature, and something of a new idea, but it was very evident from the start that the idea was one that found favor with the people of Tempe.
 The very excellent terms upon which the different merchants of Tempe deal was made evident by the large attendance of those at the affair. Not only did they attend, but they warmly congratulated the mem bers Of the firm upon their success in business and upon their energy and enterprise. which has been large ly responsible for this success. It was also noticeable that there wes'e q number from both Phoenix and Mesa present.

DRAINAGE COMMITTEE
 LISTENS ID ESTIMATES
Regarding the Cost of Machinery for
 Drainage Work.

The drainage committee. of the Tempe Canal company met Friday afternoon in conference with Julius
 Beeman of San Francisco. a repre- sentative of firm there that makes
 a specially of supplying machinery
 for pumping plants. as well as en-
 zines that use crude oil as fuel
 The drainage situation. in as far as
 the machinery feature of the question
 goes, was pretty thoroughly gone over by the committee. and MT. Bee man and the latter submitted figures and estimates on several different propositions. There are two different propositions under consideration One is io install two pumping plants com plete, engine as well as pump An other one is to install a power gen eratng plant at the site of the pres ent Tempe pumping plant; this power to be transmitted in the form of electricity to the two or more pump ing plants that may be installed.
 The estimate given on the pumping plants was in the neighborhood oII $l2,O each. f. O. b. Tempe. This. of course, being the cost of the ma chinery alone. and not including the wells. The estimate given is based on the theory that each plant shall have a pumping capacity of a thou sand miners inches.
 The second plant mentioned will be | a little more expensive at the start. | as the estimate given on the ma | chinery for the two wells and tn. | power generating plant is S44 0OO | However, this latter method. it is | thought, will be the more satisfac- | tory. and more economical in the long run The work will he centralized | and the expense of operation less.
 No definite action was taken by the committee and another meeting | has been called for tomorrow after noon.

Ingenious New Ideas in Toys

shamefully neglected People with quite human

basket to the house.
A diagram this page shows the woman's long
straight line at the left hand of the plan. Here is
very bad piece of routing. She walked 200 feet in
hanging out the wash, and then walked back 200 feet
to the house. She also carried the empty basket on
the return trip. When the wash dry she carried
the basket to the distant end of the line Goo feet
and took down the wash and when she reached the
end the basket was full. That was good idea, the
mistake was in not leaving the basket at the end OF
the first trip out To carry it both ways empty 600
feet was bad routing The greatest mistake of all lay
in the wrong position of the line. The woman walked
in all 800 feet and onehaf 400 feet was total loss
of time and steps ~ ,..
How would you route such job? On the diagram
are two lines side by side and each 100 feet long
Now the maid, in hanging out the clothes, would be-
gin the end of one line and to the far end
and then hang the things the second line and finish
at the home end. BY this route she would not waste
single step and the basket would be empty at point
the house and just where 1t would be needed
when taking in the wash.
For a long and narrow yard this plan would be a
standard plan for laying out the clothes line. For
smaller yard another plan would be equally good This
IS shown the right OF the accompanying diagram.
BY this layout four lines, each so feet long, would be
used the maid could begin at the home end OF the
