such charms by nature you possess
'Twere madness not to love you!
Not so very long ago, we were
obliged to hear the rueful reproaches
from young women, as well as buds of
girls, that there were not enough es-
corts and unmarried men at meetings
and gatherings for half of the fair
daughters to depend on. Then more
than one hostess got busy to remedy
this deplorable situation. Mothers
with daughters put on their thinking
caps and worked out the problem Of
having more men about, to dance at
tendance upon those needing partners
| and those who came alone to merry
gatherings.
1t is easy to get up small affairs at
the end of afternoons and have pleas
and visitors enjoy liveliness and hos
pitality. but there must be plenty OF
each sex to make it a remembered
success and a wish to see more of
one another. In the neighborhood and
different places, there are many I'm
dustrious young men whose duties re-
qufre them to go very early to their
business. After five, many afternoons,
their labor is slowed down, and they
can be permitted to put on their hats
and coats and get breath OF fresh
air for the morrow's benefit.
Invitations were sent them to come
to these affairs at five-thirty, or later.

perpetual smile, and fascinating, COM
prehensive glances. The plain man
about the house is not parlor favo-

United States engineer.
The first 400 miles of railroad, the
part only of the great system that
now is to be reality, has its initial
point at Seward, thriving town on
the southern coast of Kenai peninsula;
Follows the now imperative Alaska

road runs down the Nenana river to

CntBRATf 77TH BIRTHDAY
Mrs. r. Philleo Holds Reception to
Friends Friday.


A most effective and beautiful pic
ture was the one having for its set
ting the veranda of the Philleo home,
where, on Friday afternoon, twelve
OF the intimate friends of Mrs. Mar
ion Philleo gathered at the invitation
of Mrs. Epler, to congratulate her
mother having reached the seventy
seventh milestone on life's journey.
Most artfstically had the veranda
been beautified for the occasion, bou-
quets of pink and white roses and
sweet peas being effectively placed.
The center Of attraction was the
lady whose sunny disposition has not
been dimmed by declining years, but
who seemed seventy-seven years young
as she received her friends and ex-
pressed her appreciation of the gifts
OF love they bore. Later she poured
tea at prettily spread table, upon
which was placed large snow white
birthday cake, forming a pyramid, ov-
er which dropped lovely pink rose
AS Mrs. Epler and Mrs. Hawkins serv-
ed refreshments to the guests each
one was also presented with a tiny
basket of nuts, surmounted by min
iature flag. Though having left her
old home in Nebraska but four years
ago, coming to new country to form
new friends in the sunset of life, Mrs.
PhilleO Is a Twin Falls enthusiast
and by her sweet, motherly manner
has made friends of all with whom
she has come in contact

vihyard Co. Entitled to Amount
! Used Prior 10 1906
is ISSUED BY FEDERAL
r. JUDGE DIETRICH
Gives Vineyard Company 1850 Acre
Feet Of Salmon Waters by Prior
Right.

Yhrough decision issued Wednes-
day by Judge Dietrich in the federal
district court for Idaho. the rights of
the Twin Falls Salmon River
Land and Water company and the
Vineyard Land and Stock company
IN the waters of the Salmon
river and it's tributaries are adiudi-
Gated. Judge Dietrich allows the de-
remnant company to use 1880 acre
.ieet OF water, to be diverted during
the irrigation season at such times
ana In such quantities as its needs
may require and to be utilized upon
the lands which were irrigated prior
to 1906, when the first right was se-
cured by the Salmon River company.
The Vineyard company is also award
ed an additional right of 10000 acre
feet through the High Line" canal,
the right to date from May l, 1911.
TO the plaintiff the court allows the
right to 235,000 acre feet, to be meas
ured where the water is delivered into
the canal system from the reservoir,
with an allowance of Is per cent for
evaporation and seepage.
This is the second decision of late
date affecting the settlers of this pro-
Ject. Recently the court fixed The
amount of water called for by the
contracts of the settlers with the con-

Basis OF Action.
In the last case decided the Vine
yard company sought to obtain rights
to the waters of Salmon river in ac-
cordance with rights claimed to have
been acquired before the Salmon COM
pany came into existence. In an or
dinary year the water rights are
greatly in excess of the supply on Sal
mon river, and as this is the sole
source of supply for the Twin Falls
Salmon project, the claims of the
Vineyard company to great prior
rights were of serious concern to the
settlers on the Salmon river tract. The
court holds that there is no doubt that
the stock company is entitled to all
the water enjoyed by it under prior
