than can be explained on paper. The
government has done its share and all
that is required of the people living
on and owning land in that region is
to do their part. They will simply
help themselves by abiding by the re.
uuirements of the Reclamation Act.
The United States stands ready and
willing to aid them by constructing
the reservoir and irrigation system
and giving them long time wherein
to repay the cost. The action OF the
government is for the benefit and good
of the present and future owners OF
the lands within radius of the entire
Territory. The plan is not money
making scheme for the United States,
but the feredal government will spend
the necessary millions for the people
for the development and advancement
Of the lower Rio Grande Valley in this
Territory and to attract homeseekers
and colonists there to make homes
upon the lands which will be furnished
with water from the Elephant Bate
Dam Reservoir.

A CLEVER HIDE
Found by Liquor Deputies in th'
white Front" Saloon.
a Big Lot Of Contraband Found Hid
den and Seized.

Deputies Chamberlain and Varney
made a big haul of the ardent, Satur-
day afternoon, at the place on lower
Main street which has become known
as the white Front" AS a bystander
remarked: They got CARLOAD OF
stuff and in getting it they put in an
afternoon of very hard work. This sa-
loon is the place which was first VS.
tied by the deputies after their appoint
ment, at which time they seized enough
stuff to mold the proprietor for the
grand jury The place has been sus-
pected Of doing business ever since and
the deputies decided to pay it another
visit.
The deputies went to the saloon
shortly after l O'Clock, Saturday after
noon, armed with a search warrant,
and Immediately began an investiga-
ton OF every place in sight in which
liquor might be kept. THIS manner of
search proved fruitless, however, and
they began to probe deeper. There
was found "a hide which would have
done credit to the dodgers of the pro-
hibitory law in Portland, where the in
genuity of the construction of such
hides was a big stumbling block for
the officers.
The deputies noticed some small pipes
running from the room on the street
floor into the basement and followed
these pipes down, finding that they
connected with nothing below, but that
there was d big difference between the
size of the room above and that below.
Further Investigation revealed the fact
that a false wall has been constructed
in the cellar about four feet back of the
front UNDERMINING of the building. This
wall went way to the first floor and was
built of a double thickness of brick.
There was no perceptible means of get
ting through the wall, but after some
time hole was punched through and
Deputy Narney spied a key.
The sight Of that key acted upon the
deputies much as the sight of a rabbit
in his burrow acts on a terrier, and
they removed coats and went to work
to get Il closer view of the key. 1t did
not take the men a great while to get
through the wall, with the aid of a
crowbar, and then the contents of the
hide" We're revealed. The door was
built of solid oak with the facing of
brick on the outside and must have
NClSIltu DVv II WIS iu'iS "ti
an iron rod running from floor to cell
ing and worked by Il hidden spring
which the deputies found after they
had removed its covering.
In the hide was found enough stuff
to lit cut a Whaler for Il short voyage.
There was S0-Gallon keg of cherry
rum, part full; Il 1C-gailon key of whis-
key which had never been touched:
two more 10-gailon kegs of whiskey.
part full: one barrel containing quart
long neckers"; one box containing the
same: ard one box containing pints and
half-pints. All of this stuff the depu-
ties seized and loaded on q truck.

WAS searched, May 6, and liquor found
Frank Cagnon was arraigned at that
time ana held for the September term
of the superior court. There will be a
hearing, this morning, on the case.
