II told the people The Press was
a good paper and didn't keep anything
from the public like the other Spo-
kane papers do. l said II is the only
paper that seems to care about the
boys and girls and tells why so many
boys and girls go estray i'm Spokane,
said Mamie Quinn, a dark-eyed. smil-
ing little girl this morning. Mamie
won the pretty gold chain. the fourth
prize In the recent Press contest. and
she came after it today and as she
looked at the bright jewelry she told
how she succeeded in getting II.
Mama wouldn't let me buy papers
mostly by subscriptions. 1t was not
hard to get subscriptions for The
Press and | liked to do 1t for l like
to have some kind of business" and
the l3-year-old maid showed by her
cheerful, quiet laugh why she has 30
many friends who were glad to take
The Press not only because il has the
reputation OF telling the truth ami
not suppressing news. but evidently
also in order to please the happy, ar
dent little solicitor.
SHE'S Q Politician.
Mamie is the daughter of f. #.
Quinn, formerly foreman at Corbin
park and now in the employ Of the
street department She has inherited
her fathers political instincts and
when she found after she had cast q
good many votes for her own teacher.
Miss Evelyn Shaw, that Miss Shaw
could not win she made a second
choice and cast her votes and her
energies for Miss Farnsworth. ''and
am so glad she won, for she is nice
and it made her happy to win.' she
explained.
Papa said II I would win one OF
the prizes he would give me some
thing, too. and when told him l had
won the chain he said he would get
me little watch to go with IL, so
YOU see l am glad and l expect you
would he, too" and her brown eyes
twinkled.
Mamie was sick awhile and this in
terfered with her getting subscribers.
She says she can get some more some
time If The Press has another contest.
She would like to try for bicycle.

HE GETS A MONEY ORDER,
With the Money He Doesn't Want to Spend When Out with
 the Boys.

"One of the Queerest things l ever heard of," said a young man, who sometimes keeps late hours, relates the Providence Journal, 'is the action of a friend of mine, who has knack of saving, despite the fact that sometimes when he meets friend he celebrates too much. He always, after he has had few drinks and realizes that he will take more before the end of the evening, takes an account of stock, as you may say. He finds a corner somewhere and there figures up the amount of cash on hand. Then he starts for the post office.
 "When he gets there he buys a money order, payable to himself, for an amount equal to the great. CT part of the sum he has on hand. This done, he mails the order to himself, and then, certain of sar. ing that much of his moneS at least, through the evening, he starts out to resume the joyous oc. cnpation of enjoying himself. It is a great scheme. and one I never heard of anyone else using It works very well, indeed, with him. l have seen men stve a part of their money to bartender to take care of for them, but this srheme of buying money order for your self beats that. And you can get q money order at the Providence post office any hour of the night, | E0w.~ ,.,,.-ss>-~ -v->-~~-j;,SS-----<<r

THE ITALIAN IMMIGRANT.
Gets an Immense Amount of Pleasure from Unexpected Sources--A
 Cloths-Reel Comedy.

happy gift of extracting pleasure from unexpected sources, so many commonplace objects of his new home are yet wonders to him. A woman who lives in a pretty su. burban residence, the long garden of which runs back to a small court upon which row of tene- ment houses has just been erect ed, discovered this recently when she found a group of dark eyed, dirty little boys dancing ecstat- ically on the platform of her clothes dryer.
 They were cheering on a daring comrade, who was clinging to the outer cross bar of the reel, rela tes the Youths Companion. One of his mates had set it spinning, and the other boy was dizzily gyrat. ing aioft, mingling his excited squeals of joy with the creaks and groans of the overburdened ma chine. Even as she looked there was an ominous snap, and the fly. ing cherub came suddenly to earth at her feet, where he sat softly rubbing himself and staring up at her, too dazed to cry. For the sake of their own youthful bones she thought 1t a case for severity, and began to scold the intruders as sternly as she knew how, cOnclud. ing rather helplessly with an im- patient, "Whateyer made you do such silly thing, anyhow? An- swer me, can't you?"
 "Bullafuna, signorina" whim. pered the fallen one. And 1t was not until the remark was trans- lated by an Irish youngster, who was peep1ng through the fence, that she learned what the Italian lad meant.
 "sure, he says it's buf1J fua,s the Irish boy interpreted.
 Arguments and remonstrances quite failed to overcome the dan. gerous fascination of such de lightfui gymnastic apparatus. The woman had finally to take ii down and resort to the ancient and in- convenient clothes-line instead.
 A far funnier case of perverted entertainment occurred lately in Connecticut town in which the drawbridge tender complained to the police that the Italian resi-. dents had fallen into the habit of riding on the draw as if it were merry go round.
 "Sometimes there's as many as 500 of them," he complained; ESQ many that the draw won't work properly, and it most kills me try ing to turn the crank. When I hOller at them to get off, they inst holler back, and dnr't budge. They aren't ugly, but they wonst mind. They ail cpmp mothers and babies, fellows and girls, and sometimes they bring 8 hurdN gurdy and dance while the bridge swings round. It's fun for them, but itss death to me. Ifs got to be stopped or I'll resign. The city didn't hire me to run a whirli. gig side show to a circus"

PUMPS TO RECLAIM THE VALLEY

Last night Mr.. Newell talked for
half an hour to meeting in the parlors
of the Commercial club going brifv
into the purposes of the reclamation
act, the work Of preliminary nature
that has been done in the west and in
the Rio Grande valley, and the pro-
jects that are under way in the Salt
river valley in Arizona and elsewhere.
After telling briefly where the money
for the reclamation of the arid lands of
the west is coming from and where it
is being expended, Mr. Newell turned
to the status Of the work in New Mex.
leo. He said that the Hondo reservoir
in the Pecos valley was one OF the settl
ed projects Of the department and he
hoped that contracts for the work there
would soon be let. His reference to
the work in the Rio Grande valley, held
out little hope of the undertaking of
any project either at White Rock can
on or elsewhere in the near future.

During the Week.

F, II. Newell, of the reclamation SER
vice was in Las Vegas during the early
part of the week consulting with the
trustees Of the Las Vegas grant in re-
gard to the reservoir and irrigation
works which It Is proposed to establish
in that locality under the reclamation
act. The report Of the field corps,
which has been at work for several
months is almost ready to be submit
ted.
After this report has been received
by the board Of engineers, Mr.. Newell
says a commission Of experts will be
sent to make final report. The field
corps has learned that there is abun-
dant water, but the amount of the land
available failed to come quite up to ex
pectations.

As reason for the promptness with
which the government had taken up
the work in the Salt river valley. he
said that whereas in New Mexico there
were many projects which could be
considered feasible and which demand

but one, and that in the Tonto basin.
As further reason, he said there were
no obstacles of any kind in the way,

ter sufficient TO irrigate large area.
He suggested the possibility of the
establishment Of such plant in one of
the nearby coal camps, where fuel
would be cheap for the transmission of
the power TO community wells or to
individual wells through the valley
He believed the underfow here to be
so great that such method might be
used for many years without lowering
it perceptibly.
Turning to rough estimate of the
cost of establishment of such a plant to
supply water to forty thousand acres
of land, he thought the cost might be
approximately $25 per acre, and this
under the system of ten per cent pay
ments each year to reimburse the
government until the total first cost
mad been met, would be $3.50 a year
an acre. He added to this a cost of
approximately $l.50 an acre for main
tenance and operation of the power
plant. He concluded by leaving it to
his audience as to.whether the lands lin
the valley would justify this annual
cost.
Finally Mr.. Newell said that he could
not say that the engineers of the recla-
nation service would recommend any
storage dam in ihe Rio Grande valley,
He pointed out as evidence that the
government must go slow, that all ir-
rigation enterprises built by private
enterprise in America thus far has been
failures. Within the past eight
months, he said, the department had
conducted Investigations in the Rio
Grande valley, at the Hondo reservoir
site, at Urton Lake on the Las Vegas
grant and in the San Juan valley in the
hunt for definite data. B. M. Hall, he

Indeed, his remar ks tended to show il
as his belief that if the flow of the Rio
Grande were sufficient to supply even
one large reservoir, that one was not
Likely to be attempted by the govern
ment in the immediate future.
He described the Rio Grande valley
as at once the most attractive and most
difficult problem, from the engineer 5
point of view, now before the service.
The observations commenced by him.
self in the valley of the Hondo, in 1880,
had been carried on to the present time
the engineers had moved slowly and
male most careful examinations every-
where and in every case, he said, they
had encountered some apparently in.
surmountable obstacle. He believed.
however, that eventually, every drop
OF water that flows into the Rio Gran
ue WOULD Oe stored.
The difficulty he found with the
White Rock canyon project, was that
the hard rock is on the surface, while
that beneath where it would be neces.
sary to go for foundation, is soft.
He believed chat an earth dam would
be necessary and that an earth dam of
the size necessary was something that
had not yet been undertaken by mortal
man. The railroad was also in the way
and likely to prove a formidable obsta.
Gle, owing to the difficulty of securing
another grade 50 favorable. He said
that the service must get still more in
formation before setting on any pro-
ject in the Rio Grande valley, and that
the intention was to have every bit OF
available information and data, so that
whea the time came 10 begin some
work for this section the most feasible
project would have been decided.
From this rather gloomy resume of
conditions surrounding the possibility
OF storing water of the Rio Grande
Mr.. Newell turned with evidently n
more cheerful and hopeful tone, to the
possibilities of irrigation here by means
OF pumping. He said that while pump
ing was expensive and while II had
thus far not always been successful,
yet he grew more and more enthusias-
tic over its possibilities every day.
He said, so broad were the terms of
the reclamation act, that the govern
ment, were it feasible, had the power
to build and operate great power sta
tion to furnish power for pumping wa

Mr. Newell spent the morning in the

looking into the details Of the pumping
plant there. He visited the pumping
plant and reservoir of the Water Sup

mesa east of the city. In the after
noon he went for drive up and down
