age area in the western half of the

The river has a natural fall of about
seven and a third feet to the mile
The bottom lands in the valley are
from six to sixteen feet above the

lands are porous strata of sand and
gravel. through which there is an I'M
deTfiow of great depth and volume, and
in places several miles wide This I'M
derfiow supplies the moisture for the
vegetation of the valley, because the
crops when grown send their roots
down into this great reservoir. The up
lands and plateau territory on either
side Of the valley are of vast extent,
but as the cattle must be watered, if
the underf1ow is decreased so that no
wells or pools are available the uplands
become useless for grazing.

why, those four bats sticking out
further than the rest That means
We'll get just that many runs. Just
you wait and see.''
Everybody coughed, but Monte was
evidently much in earnest so they
waited Then Wolverton made hit.
IT'S the starter cried Cross. Now,
watch me- But Cross aired to Donlin.
Then the next man walked.
There's four hits coming sure,'' said
Cross Just then Thomas cracked
single, scoring Wolverton. Then La
Joie and Flick got in their work and
the four runs were scored
Whenever you see the bats fixed that
way look out for runs" observed Cross
triumphantly.
All right" replied Mcfarland
Shove out about six of those sticks
and wen win sure"
THAT doesn't go. Don't touch EN-

Cross. The bat boy has to do it when
he isn't thinking"
The players all had a good laugh
over the circumstance, and, no doubt,
some oe them became converts to
