"Why don't you sing something

when he found her cleaning her type

Jaston looked up sharply at the
sound of this new voice. A tall, blond
young man blocked the space between
him and the girl. The voice persisted
with a sweep of masterful tenderness.

he had never heard her say it that way

and drew down the blind. In the semi

Miriam went back to her study and
stared frankly into that study next
door. The man writing at his desk
looked up and bowed slightly. He had
not meant for her to hear,

rhE NEVADA DESERTS.
Government Experts Discover That
They Can he Reclaimed in Large
Part by Irrigation.

The irrigation possibilities of the
arid west, especially that part of 1t
included in the great interior basin,
once called the great American des-
ert., are daily becoming more appar-
ent. Surveys for reservoir sites re-
veal the fact that there are many To-
cations where water can be cheaply
stored and used for power and irriga-
tion. Other surveys show large tracts
of good farming land favorably To-
Gated for watering from these stor-
age reservoirs.
\ more detailed study is being
made of the amount of water each
watershed will furnish, especially
those on which there are good reser-
voir sites. and the losses of water

Mr.. L. II. Taylor, resident hydro
grapher of the geological survey at
Reno. New, 13 new stream gaging
stations have been established in Ne
vada and eastern California. Three
of these are on Walker river and
branches. one on Carson river, six
on Truckee river and tributaries and
four on the Humboldt and its trib-
utaries. The run-off data from these
and the other eight gaging stations
on these streams, when they cover a
period sufficiently long to include the
two extremes of run-off, will be OF
great value in determining the irriga-
tion possibilities and designing the
works on each. \ dozen rain cages
are to be located at characteristic
places in this section. These, with
the III already in use there, will, with
the aid of the run-off data, render as
certainable the ratio of precipitation
to run-off. and thus enable engineers
to compute, from rainfall records,
the run-off from adjacent auxiliary
watersheds. Evaporation from the
surface and fluctuations of the sur
face level of some of the larger lakes
are being measured, and losses Incl
dent to storage of large bodies of
water and losses from small bodies
