Now Comedies shc Right of Way.


Now Comedies shc Right OF Way.
There has always been one driver
that the cable gripman has let have his
own way, and that is the driver of the
giant truck with the load of iron
beams. The power in the engine that
moves the cable is ample to brush away
the great truck as it would a hand cart.
But there would be no adequate means
of applying it, and this the cable car
does not supply. Heavy rs it is, it is not
nearly so heavy as the big truck with
the iron beams. In Il collision with that
the car would be wrecked and left be-
hind, while the cable sung merrily on
below. The gripman knows this, and
so, while he bangs the gong, he doesn't
really mean to go on until the driver
of the great truck has turned out.
There is now another moving thing
that the gripman does not try 10 brush
off the face of the earth, and that is
the ponderous road re Ter, such as is
used in the city in the making of as
phalt pavcments. These rollers go from
one part of the city to another under
their own steam, numbering along slow
ly but with irresistible power. Some
times they cross the cable tracks or
move along in the same street. With
road roller ahead the gripman slams
the gong as usual, but it is purely q
formal notice. There are now two men
to whom the gripman comedies the
right of way-the driver of the giant
truck with the iron beams and the
pilot of the steam road roller.

large amounts Of aggregated capital
under corporate management were in
vested in the construction of expensive
systems which have overcome by be-
ginning methods great physical dim
culties and brought water from long
distances to the redemption Of vast
areas which now await but the hand

ductive and happy homes. In no por-
ton of the arid region are these ex-
tensive systems more common than
in Utah and Idaho, where favorable
climatic conditions, the p!enitude OF
water and the rare fertility OF the soil
conspire to make farming by irriga-
ton certain Of success. Along the en-
tire line of the Oregon Short Line rail-
road. which extends from southern
Utah through Idaho and into Montana,
these systems are in successful opera
ton. By these systems water is fur
nished to farmers at a nominal annual
rental. Millions of acres in each of

tainties are guaranteed by the fact that
water is always at hand ready for use
not only to stimulate the growth of
the growing grain. but to quench its
thirst at just the right time to insure
perfect development. The other GER
tainty springs from the fact that in
the irrigated region mining. smelling,
manufacturing and other industries
distinct from agriculture are extens-
lively carried on and the demand Of
those employed in these occupations

To Brigham Young must ever be-
long the credit of having introduced
irrigation into the United States. He
caused to be constructed-fifty years
ago-where Salt Lake City now stands
the first irrigation canal. NO event

is 30 important or far-reaching in its
influence for good. From that small
beginning began the irrigation which
is now common to the agriculture OF
all the wonderful empire west OF the
Rocky Mountains. From that first
canal developed the great systems
which rapidly extended over Utah.

which now gridiron almost half of

It was while We were in the border
of Kentucky that We halted at a good
spring to water men and horses. The
fine mansion on the farm had been
burned, leaving only the chimneys
standing. The surrounding shrubtery,
orchard and Improvements showed
that it had been the abode OF wealth
and comfort. The barns, out-houses
and negro quarters were all in good
condition, and were SO attractive that
we concluded to pitch camp here for
a while and feed, while We made co..
fee for ourselves. Riding into the or
chard. we dismounted and soon had
fires made with fence rails, and the
men fastened to the crib after CORE
for their horses, which were fed on the
ground where they stood.
It was about this time that We found
out the true situation OF affairs. as the
overseer came dashing among US, way
ing his cane and ordering us OF the
premises. He was told that the
Yankees had possession now. Damn
the Yankees!" he cried.
This exclamation was his undoing.
Immediately the men gathered around

forced to tell all he knew. He said
that the owner Of the place had gone
south with his family, leaving the

tons to raise a crop. To do this, he
had twenty-five hands subject to his
orders. The Yankees, he said, had
burned the house. When asked the
name Of the owner. he answered, Col.

men and boys had been sent down
south to raise food for the Confederate
armies, leaving twenty-five colored wo-
men to do the work on the farm. These
were the hands mentioned to US by

that he whipped them numerically.
