he severed that dropping limb from the

The fight waxed more and more furious.
Yet the water, disturbed, made no sound OF
even gurgling, but after time, when the
coils had almost hidden their victim, and
vet were acerated by its claws and teeth,
there was flash OF keen flame like fOrked
lightning, and the very air quaked and
auiyered with the death hiss Of the great
water serpent. which came with hoarse,
Iinearthly wall, and the 'man-eaterp and

repeating the clause limiting the
purchase Of bullion by the Secretary

ounces per month, and requires the
Secretary to purchase all the silver
bullion offered at price not exceed

ton by requiring the Secretary to
coin at least 100000 ounces per

and as much more as may be neces-

issued in the purchase Of bullion.

FLOATING IRRIGATION BONDS.
Some Kansas Securities That Are Not
Yet Watered.

TOPEKA, Dec. ct. w. Pelham
OF Abilene, president of the Garden
City and Southwestern Irrigation
companies, is in the city to-day. 1t
was MIR. Pelham's intention to at
tend the Oberlin irrigation conven-
ton, but he was detained here by
legal business. Mr.. Pelham has just
returned from the East, where he
disposed of 1925, 900 worth ofirriga-
ton bonds.
Il discovered" said he, that irri-
cation bonds were the most desirable
and popular of Kansas securities.
The mortgages have not proved
profitable, and the money lenders will
encourage irrigation to assist their
mortgage bonds. l am of the opin-
ion that the storage and reservoir
system will be the best fer North
western Kansas. Our canal bitches
are, in all, 300 miles long and cover
5000 acres. We strike the under
flow at depth of one foot, and get
all the water necessary at eight feet.
In the Northwest they will be com.
PEELED to go much deeper, unless the
canals are run at too great distance
to make them profitable. l believe,
however, that successful irrigation
can be had in the Northwest by the
reservoir system"
