AT THE STORAGE BASIN
Matters Seem To Be Progressing as
 Fast as Possible.

From Globe visitors in the city it is learned that things are moving along at the storage basin in a most satis= factory manner. Regardless Of occas- ioncl rumors that this or that particular nart Of the work has been temporarily suspended there seems to be little or no change in the number of men employed and as soon as the contract for build ing the power canal is awarded, there must necessarily he an increase In the number; probably a large increase.
 It is learned that F. r. Kellrer has o9encd 6 branch store near there and that a physician Is also on the ground as tAare arc from 200 to BOG men avail ahle for his practice.
 It IS said also that the foundation for the cement factory is rapidly near ing completion.

gation reclamation service under Charles Frederick H. Newell will soon be issued as a public document. The report will give a general description of the work being done by the govern ment in various western states and ter ritories under the national irrigation law. Actual construction has begun sn Arizona and Nevada on two great arojects which will reclaim several hundred thousand acres of fertile land. Detailed surveys are being made of numerous other projects and several of these will be taken up during the com ing year. By the end of the present fiscal year there will doubtless be something like $2S,OOO,OOO or S24 ,OO0, coo in the reclamation fund for this work. The general idea is, as expressed in the report, that the irrigation law is a safe end carefully framed act and can be worked out to advantage. No change or amendment to that law is recom- mended to congress. If after an actual trial on two or three objects, some weak point develops, then the government will be in a position to intelgently ad- wise congress what change is needed.
 The coming report calls attention to the great necessity for protection to headwater streams. One of the most important matters in connection with the permanent development of the wa ter resources of the country is the pro- tection of catchment basins from de- structive influences. Headwaters of many important streams are really in- clGded within forest reserves, and some important reservoir sites aae thus guarded from injury. Forest reserve boundaries should be extended to in- clude the country from which a large part of the rainfall comes. This land usually has no value for cultivation. is ragged and suitable only for the pro duction Of trees.

KEY OF THE UNIVERSE
Some Interesting History Respecting
 the ISthmian Canal Question.

Judge H. C. Gooding, a resident of Los Angeles and a former resident of this city, writes the following interest ing letter to the Los Angeles Times, respecting a question that was consid- cred a timely topic two hundred years ago and which today seems to be just as Tive" an issue:
 Two hundred years ago a bol9 pro jector and promoter not less auda- cious nor less prominent in his day than our own J. F. Morgan, obtained from the parliament of Scotland a cor poration charter for the construction of a highway across the Isthmus of Darien. though the isthmus was not named in the charter. His name was William Paterson. He it was who had conceived the plan of the Bank of England, for which, later, Montague got the credit. At that time the inter est was as great in Scotland over the proposed highway as it now is in the United States over the proposed Pan anna canal.
 Among those taking shares in Pater- sons corporation C''The Company of Scotland Trading to the Indies'D were to be found such august dignitaries as lllt Ouht Nl NSuCCllSDGlAN lIiE IuhE Ol Hamilton, Lord Belhaven. John Dal- rymple and about a half hundred Scotch peers.
 The proposed highway was to be a roadway instead of a canal. It was argued, nothing would be easier than to construct roads, along which string of mules or a wheeled carriage might. in the course of single day, pass from sea to sea-
 Paterson declared: Whoever pos sessed that door of the sea. that key of the universe, would give law to both hemispheres. and would, by peaceful arts, without shedding one drop Of blood, establish an empire as splendid as that of Cyrus or Alexan- der"
 Door of the sea" and "key of the universe" are certainly bold meta phors. and might, perhaps. be bor- rowed with effect at the present junc- ture by some ambitious senator or

THE MODERN MARY

Mary had little lamb
Nobody came to buy,
Though Mary didn't have a cent,
She thought a plan to try.
For Mary knew journalist
Who had kindly heart,
And Mary straight-way went to him
Her troubles to impart.
This paper man could advertise
To beat the band you see,
Told Mary to be comforted,
She went home full of glee.
tHow Mary paid the journalist
Is quite another tale,
And though we like to advertise.
The story's not for sale)
Now Mary's sky is bright and clear,
Her troubles are all ended.
And so it is in every case
When brains and ink are blended.

CHOOSING TREES.

1t was arbor day, and the children
played
Under an elm trees friendly shade;
But after awhile the girls and boys
Grew weary themselves of their own
noise.
Let us throw ourselves on the grass"
cried Ned;
I'm tired enough 20 20 to bed;
Let us quit our running, and while we
rest
Let us pamo the trees we each love
best"
No sooner said than ii came to pass;
Down they sat on the sun-dried grass;
And each one called in a ringing voice,
The name of the tree that was his
choice.
One was a willow and one was an oak,
And one for the straight hazel tree
spoke;
Another one chose the fragrant pine,
And to claim the elm tree there were
nine.
The silver poplar was not forsakeu,
And even the aspen tree was taken;
The beech and the birch, and the
maple, too,
Several loyal voters drew.
Five-year Freddy heard every one
Name his tree, and when all were done
He rose and said tn them sc0rnfulIy

Value OF a Direct Gaze,

The effect Of a full, straightforward
gaze on the person to whom one is
speaking Is not as a rule sufficiently
considered. And yet there is nothing
more weight than a direct gaze 1t is
the medium for sympathy, the mental
telography that brings speaker and
hearer in touch with each other. Every
one has experienced the gene Of talk
ing to a person whose wandering
glances betray their part of interest,
but one often fails To alalyze the
subtle attraction of an attentive eye
that stimulates and inspirits one all
unconsciously while one converses.

Short Story
Of the DAY
TIE LOVE PHILTRE.

For many long years, in his home
on the Via Sancta, in Venice, Master
Bellarmin had practiced his delicate
profession of healing, but in spite OF
some marvellous cures, he had re,
NAMED unnoticed, suffering, and des
perate, until the day when he had es-
tablished himself as a sorcerer
Then fortune and fame came run
ming towards him as quickly as they
had before fed from him His COT
fers grew full OF gold, his house was
filled with precious carvings and his
dressers groane'i with heavy dishes of
silver
Master Bella rmin became the hap
piest man in lAe city. He watched
his daughter Juliette growing up be
side him, so adorably pretty that il
was said of her that she was even
more exquisite than Romeo's divine
love. He knew that soon, when she
was twenty, he would be able to give
her the dot that accompanies lady
of noble birth, without allowing for
the fact that with his fame to clothe
her, Juliette had the right to aspire
to one of the noblest alliances OF
Italy.
He was happy, for his conscience
was calm and his heart pure, in spite
of the fact that he was a sorcerer in
Venice at the time when politics each
day framed new and dreadful deeds.
1t was not because vengeance, hatred
and malice did not often knock upon
his door, but because Master Bellar-
min drove them pitilessly away with
his imperious gesture and command
ing look before which evil always
bows, turns back and fees.
On the other hand, his door stood
widely open to all lovers in need of
consolation. His love-philtres, fam

had time enough to compound all that
