LOCAL NOTES
 FROM ADAMANA

MT. Ernest Pool left for Post, Texas, Wednesday evening, on No. p, on account of sickness in his family, who are at present visiting at Post. Here is hoping he may find them much better on his arrival there.
 We noticed the other day in Dr. Evans column in The Los Angeles Examiner a query from Adamana signed "A. B., asking the Dr. for a specific remedy for infantile collie. I wonder whs "A. B." is anyhow.
 Many happy returns: Petri- ficado on gra t ulat t e s Miss Frances Bower, school teacher, on her birthday anniversary Now, never mind which birth day.
 It has been so windy in Adam ana this week that not a single woman could put out her wash ing. So they (the single women) let the married women do the washing.
 Mrs. Wm. Nelson has added two more milk ,gi 1ng cows to her dairy herd. These cows in ad- dition to the splendid we'll she has had driven back of her store property will enable her to take care of her dairy trade very nicely.
 There is a horse round up -go- ing on around Adamana includ- ing only those horses that are physically able to stand the or deal. We saw some horses be- fore and after they were round- ed up and I do not see that it i'm proves them much.
 Messrs- Joe Thomas, Ernest Pool and Major Geo. Jensen were called to St. Johns as wit nesses in a trial in which the Stockmen's Guafantee and Loan Co.,, of Albuquerque, were the plaintiffs and MT. Hugh Ander- son, of Adamana, was the de- fendant. We understood MT. An derson won the suit.
 Section Foreman Martin of Holbrook, according to one of his men, is getting to be very absent minded as he grows older. This man said one day last week Foreman Martin only had one man on the track and when he heard a motor car coming he yelled at this man saying, Let ye scatter out some, the road master might be on that car." MT. Martin must be used to working a big gang.
 The Aubudon society of Adam ana, after several weeks of re- search in studying and tabulating bird-life over in the Blue Forest, has made the startling discovery that the giant awk and the whip poorwill are almost extinct over there. We asked one member if he could account for these most interesting birds leaving their natural feeding grounds. He said he could not except on the thesis that they were frightened away by the costumes worn by some of the lady tourists.
 We very often see in the mag azines and other public prints, glowing accounts of the re- sourcefulness of the American women, but seldom if ever has it been the privilege of the Adam ana public to witness an act of heroineism and motherly devo- tion as was exhibited by Mrs. Wm. Nelson Saturday morning,

Wedding superstitIons.

The popularity of June for weddings ig due to the pretty omen that Juno takes an especial interest in marriage and she protects and blesses all who are welded n June. The girl who be- comes a bride on Christmas day has nothing to fear. If widow marries a second time in the same month in which she was married before, she will be a widow twice.

The highest dam in the world, to join the states of Nevada and Ari- zona, and harness turbulent waters of the Colorado river for extended irri- gation in the southwest, is to be con- l structed in the near future by the United States reclamation service.
 The dam, according to tentative plans, would rise to the unprece- dented height of 500 or 600 feet in Boulder Canyon, where granite abut- ments rise more than 1,600 feet above the water surface. Engineers of the reclamation service, afoat on barges, are now boring for bed rock beneath.
 The lalse varying from thirty to fifty miles in length would be backed up in the Colorado and Virgin rivers; and in this basin would be held in cheek for irrJgatioTig tie drainage from almost tie entire Colorado river basin, including parts of six states.
 The proposed structure would be higher by far than the worlds high est dam at present-Arrowroek dam, on the Boise river, Idaho, which measures 348 feet-and would top other famous dams in the United States, among the highest of which are:
 Shoshone, on the Shoshone river, Wyoming, BPS feet; Elephant Butte on the Rio Grande, New Mexico, 300 feet; and Roosevelt, on the Salt River, Ari- zona, 200 feet
 Preliminary work on the Boulder Canyon project is being done under authority of congress, which appro- priated $20,090 for investigation. An additional S75,000 was contributed by local irrigators. Engineers have To- cated site, and are making borings for foundations. While these are in- complete, bedrock has been located at a number of points and the outlook is favorable, according to Arthur P. Da- wis, director of the reclamation serv- Ice.
 Interests from the irrigable region are expecting to bring their problem before congress at the approaching session, and through the committee on irrigation seek government aid, it is understood; but the exact nature Of their proposal, whether an out and cut appropriation, government loan, or ex- tension of credit has not been an nounced.
 So unmanageabie has the river been in the past, that it has often changed it's lower channel. Like huge ele

Leola Lucey

Miss Leola Lucey. well known so
prano and one of Broadway's most
popular light opera stars, Will be
heard in an unique concert at the
Methodist church, Oct. 4. Assisting
Miss Lucey, on this occasion will be
Adrien Freiche. violinist, pupil of the
great master, Leopold Auer, and
Raymond Barry, the brilliant young
American pianist.
While still very young, Miss
Lucey showed an exceptional talent
for singing, which she put to use at
her first opportunity. Her musical
career began in New York, where
she was first engaged as a chorus
girl, This was followed by several
seasons of hard work in some of the
biggest musical successes on the
road, during which time she worked
and studied and denied herself all
the pleasures which are supposed to
be part of the life of a chorus girl.
During her first season on the
road, Mis- Luceys ability was quickly
recognized, and she was made I'M
derstudy to Annabelle Whitford in a
prominent musical show This was
her opportunity to get the training
she so much desired. and when she
returned to New York she found
! herself a full 1edged star
! In the coming recital Miss Lucey
will sing in comparison with her
voice as re-created by the New Edi-
son to enable those in the audience
to judge whether or not the living
voice can be made to live forever
y superb program has been ar.
ranged-a program that will revea
all of the fascinating qualities of the
glorious voice of the young soprano
At times her living voice will be
I heard alone; at times she will sins
in unison with her re-created voice
at other times she will sing duet:
with herself. The audience will try
! to pick the two golden threads OF
tone apart-to say which one live,
for a moment and which one has
been made immortal Can it be done
Cards of admittance may be sscuret
from II. f. Twombly if you wish t.
hear this question answered.
