LUMBERMEN

These big, brawny men Of the
woods know the worth OF strong
arm, a steady hand and a true eye.
They have keen appetites, and SO
long as they can eat well and sleep
well, they can do mans work.
But all lumbermen know that a bad
stomach or sick headache can put
the strongest of them out of business.
Men in the woods cannot be fussy
about their food, and too much Of the
same kind, day after day, is apt. to
bring on stomach attack, cause bill
iousness or a splitting headache.
"L. F." Atwoods Medicine is worth
its weight in gold to men in the lurn-

Four miles of the pike have been built since last August, and about sixty convictS have been on the Job since that time.

|DR. LOWELL AT
 TRINITY TONIGHT

Dr. Percival Lowell distinguished astronomer and founder of the Low ell Observatory at Flagstaff, will lec- ture this evening at the Trinity Epis copal Cathedral House under the aus pices of the Mems Club of the church. His subject will be "Immi grafton Vs. the United States" No admission fee will be charged and the general public is not only in vited but urged to attend. The Ca thedral House is located at the head of First avenue on Roosevelt street and is easily reached by the Second avenue cars which go within a short distance of the structure.
 This announcement should be suffi- cient to bring out a capacity audience to the Cathedral House. The fact that Dr. Lowell is tn lecture here is an event that should appeal to the general public for he enjoys a world wide reputation, and in fact is re- puted to have no end of acquaint- ances among the canal builders on

 MT. Adams reports that the road extending from Tucson to the Pinal county line will also be completed perhaps by the middle of next month. This has been in charge of a con vict camp, and when the work is completed, the prisoners will be trans ferred to the Antelope Hill bridge, the approaches of which were left in rat, CT bad shape by the recent flood. The convicts will repair about 150 feet of the approach, and also re-surface about two miles of the road leading to the bridge
 In few weeks a large number of prisoners will be transferred to the
 western part of Maricopa county to work on the highway between Ar lington and Agua Caliente The S5
 men on this job will raise the road somewhat above its present level, and otherwise improve the highway. En- gineer Cobb was in this part of the county yesterday looking for d suit able location for the camp and the men will be sent there as soon as the Arizona Eastern can operate its trains over that part. The r~ilroad
 bridge across the Agua F'ria river
 on the Buckeye line is being repaired and the camp will be transferred

FACULTY RECITAL
 |S B|C SUCCESS

The fourth number of the faculty recitals at the Arizona School of Music was presented last evening be- fore an audience of music lovers that taxed the capacity of the auditorium For this program Mrs Christy pre- sented Frank Lloyd Stuchal, violinist William Orth pianist, and Ivar Skou- gaard, basso, with Daisy Motley. ac- companist. MT. Stuchal is violinist of much ability always concerned with giving a sincere, musicianly reading He draws a sure, precise bow and his tone is large and clear. His program last evening was an ambitious one opening with Sonata by Handel a very heavy number which Mr Stuchal sue ceeded in making very interesting to his audience. The last two movements were especially pleasing and were the most enjoyed
 The "Melodie" by Ivar Skougaard was charmingly rendered making a double appeal to the audience by yir- tue of it's being satisfactory inter pretation of the local composers idea. | NieuXtemps' "Ballade ct Polonaise" is 1 T very brilliant number, the techni- cal difficulties of which MT Stuchal l had well in hand. The closing numbers of the program Caprice Viennois" by kreisler and Gypsy Dance by Ma l chez were especially attractive and were given very artistic reading. It was great pleasure to the friends of William Orth to greet him as q mem l i,fr- .f
 button to the program was the brillian nt Gounod- -Liszt "Nalse from Faust which he played in the fine style and interpretation which has always char acterized his work and which has made hlm a faVorite pianist with Phoenix music lovers. Mir Orth responded to an encore with the charming "Stacca to Caprice"
 lvar Skougaard has already estab- lished himself in the esteem of Phoc- nix musicians. He appeared to an especially fine advantage last evening in his rendering of the Prologue tc l Pagliacci." His rich sonorous voice is well adapted to the interpretation ot this heavy number and he held his au- dience spellbound with his dramatic rendition of all the shades of feeling of which the human heart is capable
 MT Skougaard showed his versatiiit, by singing as an encore the well knowr
 Song of the Turnkey
 These programs at the school have been of the highest standard musical, and have been greatly appreciated by the people of Phoenix.
