For 48 hour foilow- ing the unexpektedly painful and highly dramatic denouement of his plan to sway public_opinion against Nate Tichenor and Lorry Kershaw, Silas Babson suffered actually, not because he was sorry for what he had done, but be- cause the effect had been so wholly un- expected and pregnant of disaster to him. After having arranged to prevent the expose of the whole affair in court with probable penitentiary sentences for a couple of dozen hitherto respectable citizens, he began to view life with & less | Jaundiced_eye: and when, at the ex- piration of the proverbial nine days, he morally certain that “that Eden Valley gang” as he now referred to Nate, Lorry and Rube Tenney, was going to cling to its anclent tradition and have nothing whatsoever to do with le- gal reprisals, all of his old jauntiness and optimism returned. When he visited the victims of the fray and discovered that none of them would lose & leg or be permanently crippled, he scolded them severely; “re- minded them that they had been wild ss, that they had exceeded the speed limit, as it were; that by their ac- tion they had seriously prejudiced the best interests of the community; that they had brought opprobrium and unen- viable publicity upon a respectable com- munity, which would be long recovering from the shock of their disgraceful ac- tion. Of course (he added) he had no sympathy for that Eden Valley gang and would have been glad to see Nate Tichenor silenced, cried down, and booed back to Eden Valley, but he drew be line at beating a man half to death a dozen against one—oiling and feather- ing him.

So Babson the expiration of that period Henry looking faintly reminiscent of a potalo sprout put forth in a cellar, returned to his labors, Babson left the business of the bank in Mr. Rookb; hands and_proceeded to motor forth among the Forlorn Valleyites and argu- ing them into signing the petition to the county board of supervisors for permis- ion to organize the Forlorn Valley Irri- gation District. Having had a surveyor de-limit the areas susceptible to surface | irrigation, he knew the identity of every | farmer whose signature was necessary for his purpose, so a week's time suf- ficed to acquire the number of signatures legally necessary, and at the next reg- 1. G ular meeting of the board of supervisors, of which Babson was a member, he pre- | ented the petition in person and ad- | dressed his_colleagues at some length and with unusual eloqunce on the de- | sirability of favorable action by the | board. The succeeding steps in the organiza- | tion of the district now proceeded in | orderly and legal progression. On the ay the board of supervisors held an | open meeting for consideration of the | project, Lon Morton, the local attorney | for ‘the Bank of Valley argued very capably for the acceptance of the | project. Babson's engineer was present with blueprint maps and discussed the | areas of the proposed district and the WEDNESDAY, method and feasibiliey of leading the water to the district. When he had fin- ished, some half-dosen dwellers in the proposed district who had, efldenl:-ldw been investigating the project independ- ently and were not at all convinced of its feasibility because of possible sueces- ful legal intervention by Nate Tichenor and Lorry Kershaw, entered a verbal protest, Babson was prepared for these mal- contents, however, and had an intelli- gent farmer with a flair for rude ora- tory “planted” in the audience 1o re but their protests.
