H. KITTS The United States Government fs carrying an overload of irrigation Projects at the present time and it is unreasonable to believe that the Present session of congress will add to that burden in any way. How- ever, a baby doesn’t always get all the milk it howls for, so we might as well howl and then howl some more. Eventually we will get what we are after and then there will be another very valuable asset to add to those now to the credit of this community. The more of that kind of feed we get, the faster we can grow. The writer finds that the general impression of the frrigation system “is that the retaining reservoir shall be built in the canyon immediately Blcove. Alcova and a gravitation itch from that point to the land to be trrigated. Is this practical? There are many angles of view and the writer ts sub- ject to comment elther way. Is it practical to attempt the con- struction of a retaining dam tn the canyon above Alcova? The writer has never been In or thru the can- yon, but is informed that the forma- tion of the canyon walls are alter- nating strata of shales, sandstone, and limestone, This being correct and the dip of strata being heavily inclined toward the north, one would hesitate and consider before going too far. VAN GORDEN {3 DELIBERATE IN Hd MOVEMENTS (Continued from Page One) meal. Returning to his room he be- gan a task that would display his mental condition. He wrote four !et- ters. Two of them were addressed to people who live in Casper, An. other was intended for a woman in South Dakota. Each of these three letters mentioned business matters, and in the South Dakota note was enclosea @ $20 bill. It was the fourth letter that threw a startling Ught on Van Gorden’s private af- fairs, This short letter was ad- dressed to Alberta Lynch, general delivery, Oakland, Cal. It read: “Sweetheart— “Haven't bad @ letter from you for ten days. “Am leaving Casper forever, don’t write me any more there. “Your piano would cast about $35 to ship to you. “With love, as ever—" No signature was appended to thin note. Using the hotel stationery, Van Gorden had without a trace of ner- vousness inseribed four letters. No word has ever connected his name with that of a waman other than his wife, It was tho letter to Miss Lynch that upturned the general belief that he had originally inten ed, along with the murder of his wife and son, suicide for himself. It was probable that Van Gorden had just finished his correspond- ence when he heard the sheriff be- ing shown by the hotel clerk to the room across the hall. The sheriff and Van Gorden had been previous- ly acquainted, making it incidental that the latter recognized the offi- cer’s voice. Several minutes later the pursued man crept out of his room and started down the hall- way. Sheriff Peyton stepped into the hall at once and qommanded him to halt, displaying his star. Van Gorden ran, pulled his re- volver and fired at Peyton as he turned to go downstairs. Dodging behind a corner the sheriff escaped the bullet, grasped his own gun and fired at his assailant. Out of five shots fired Peyton placed three in Van Gorden’s boty. The second went directly to the body beneath the heart. Van Gorden died 15 minutes later refusing to make a statement be- fore he became unconscious MOTHER! 0 Dlean Child's Bowels with “California Fig Syrup” Hurry Mother!

A leakage once: started could only be stopped by the drainage of the reservoir, to a point below the, level of the leak, and aperature closed, provided tt could be found. The general texture of the hort- zontal strata is such that {t is very eptable to erosion, once the ac- ts. It is a question whether susc large leakage could be stopped in to fully protect the human lives within its track of wastage. A full head of stored water would in- undate many homes along the val- ley of the Platte River and condi- tions only would govern the reach of the damage. THe PLACES OF INTEREST. AIMING “TO DO-T, Yeu know Nou Dost “WANT To BE THROWN OUT OF “THE PREcS CLUB AGAIN = Lets forget the pessimistic side and take the other for a while. We find that the strata in the canyon| near Bessemer Bend, some sixteen miles above Casper, has a very de- cided dip toward the south, or up stream and under the drainage of the field as it approaches the logical dam site. The pressure of the stor- ed water there would tend toward the closing of any aperatures there might be in the strata, therefore act- ing as an automatic protecting agent. The trapping of the water at this lower point would have its advan- tages, as well as disadvantages. The former would principally be the eli- minating of the construction of the gravity ditch from that point to the Alcova site and the great addition of reserved water by the trappage of the surplus water of the vast drainage region between the Ees-| semer Bend and the Alcova Canyon. | A minor objection to the Bessemer reservoir will be the difference in|! price to be paid to the present hold-| ers of properties that would logical- ly be me inundated. Another point is the reaching the required level for a ditch from the Bessemer site to a point of elevation whereby re- quired results could be obtained. It fs a conceded fact that, when the water is needed in Nebraska for irrigation purposes, it 1s also! needed here. Therefore, the heavy head of water would by necessity] come from the Pathfinder Dam. Why not {nstall a turbine driven generator at the Pathfinder dam and conduct a high tension line to| the point of usage and pump the water to the required elevation with! the power at hand. ‘There is also the proposition of additional power to be generated in the same manner by using the water that is required to pass by for usage in Nebraska. ‘This would leave a surplus of power that could easily be utilized for pumping for irrigation purposes by the land owners who otherwise! would not derive a benefit from this! particular irrigation project: by using the water that is required to pass by for usage in Nebraska. Woe believe that. a survey will show a saving of several hundred thousand dollars in initial construc- tion, as the two power plants and the pumping plant combined should not cost more than twenty-five per- cent of the cost of that portion of the gravity ditch from the Bessemer ) Bend to the Alcova Canyon. A dam is a dam at efther place. FARLY. TOURIST lieved to be Gerald Chapman, want- |ed for a $500,000 mail truck robbery, You'Lt. BURN NOUR TEETH IN A MINUTE , BILL.
