RAPID FIRE ROMANCE 9

MERRILY the little steamer bobbed N up and down, for a stiff easterly wind was blowing across the lake. Most of the passengers had sought the refuge and seclusion of the cabin. and seemed to be engaged despairingly in praying for death. But two still re- mained on deck.
 They were Orlando G. Spoonamore, capitalist and young man of leisure, party of the first part. and a hand some young woman with fluffy brown hair, party of the second part, and they happened to be sitting side by side.
 She was absorbed in a copy of the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Stake, and he was reading the automobile news .n daily paper-when he wasn't glancing at his fair companion out of the corner of his starboard eye.
 The wind freshened. and he pro- ceeded to button his light overooat But the top button was unaccount- ably missing. To the best of his recollection 1t was there when he boarded the boat The breeze, or some thing. must have torn It of.
 Mechanically he detached the stick pin from his necktie and pinned the two flaps securely together Then he resumed his reading.
 And his glancing.
 Presently, having finished the story, the young woman raised her head, looked around her with sudden sur prise, and started to rise
 Mr. Spoonamore felt slight tug at his chest. He looked down.
 To his horror he found that he had pinned the loose flap of her light gray wrap to his overcoat She dis

 their journey toward Roosevelt, going as far as Fish creek and finishing the trip Sunday morning.
 MT. Fowler, who has been commis- stoned by the board of governors to so to Washington, will not leave until Sunday morning, instead of this morn = irg, as originally planned. Mrs. Fow- Ter, who has been i'll for several days, though much improved, is not yet able to leave her room, or was not yester- day, and he has decided to stay here a day longer. No time will be lost for the reason that he can still get to Washington by the time the report of the engineers is before the officials
 for consideration, which in the natural or der of things would not be before next Friday or Saturday
 MT. Fowler and Engineer Grunsky returned yesterday morning from Me sa City. where they spent the night before after 9 very hard days work in sightseeing and inspection, travelling about siXty-five miles. They spent Wednesday looking over tne western rart of the valley and travelling about forty miles, so that Engineer Grunsky has driven over more than a hundred miles of the irrigation district during his short visit and has secured a very good general idea of what is going on. He says he has been greatly impress ed with the country and with it's pos abilities with the completion of the storage reservoir.
 Thursdays trip was devoted mainly to an inspection of diversion facilities and a nasty view of the irrigated sec ton south of Mesa City. Starting about o'clock Thursday morning, with Nessrs. Fowler, McDermott, and McClung, the drive was first to the Consolidated head, then to the Tempe bridges, where an idea was gained of the height of the water in the recent flood and the damages to the bridges and canals, with a long distance view Of the upper end of the AppropriaCorS canal. Returning to the old ,noun1 on the Crosscut, they went north to pow CT house No. and the falls, inspect ing all these properties, cne1 via h. gle side to power house No. l and on to the Arizona head. looking over the wreck of the Arizona dam and the proposed site of the new diversion dam. Immediately after luncheon they started down the river ia boat to- V ard the head of the Consolidated ca ual They found the Salt river poor stream for navigation, however, and in the voyage of a mile they were ship wrecked twice, though with 1ut loss of life or property.

UPPER SIDEWALK
Being COMPLETED

Our readers will be glad 10 learn
shat there are prospects that one of the
sidewalks of the IiVer bridge may be
completed at a very early date and
that the public will have permission
to use il III crossing pending the com
pletion of the remainder OF the bridge
A couple of weeks ago petition 10
the above effect signed by the joint
Boards of County Commissioners was
presented TO the Commissioners Of
Public Grounds and Buildings at Har-
risburg
A reply was received at the Com
missioners' office yesterday from John
E. Stott. Secretary of the Commits
sioners of Public Grounds and Build
ings which stated that the petition
had been laid before the Board aud
that pursuant to action taken he had
just written to the Engineer request
ing him to do all that he could with
the contractors to induce them to com
pete one sidewalk for use of the pub
lie. The communication stated that
he expected 10 hear from Mr.. Leonard
in few days.
From appearances it would seem that
there will be no delay. A big consign-
meut of material for the side is
already on the ground. Superintend-
ent of Construction Collins yesterday
stated that his idea Is to rush the up
per sidewalk to completion rs fast as
possible. In addition to the iron work
needed for railing, sc. a large guam
tty of lumber for joists and flooring
| has arrived aud is strewn along the
roadway on the bridge.
Along five spans of the upper side
walk the outer strinRers are in posi-.
ton Along one span the rivetinR is
completed and ready for the joists and
flooring. According to present indl'
cations it will only be a week or sc
until the upper sidewalk is finished
and people can walk over the bridge
with safety and freedom.

SYSTEM NEARLY
COMPLETED

The new sewer system at the Hospit
oil for the Insane installed by SweiRard
& Company of Philadelphia for the
purpose of disposing Of the sewage on
the Hospital grounds is rapidly ap
uroaching completion and has already
been tested in part
Work began last September and since
then has been pushed along as rapidly
as possible. John RiegIing, a repre-
sentative of Sweigard & Company, who
has had charge OF the work from its
| beginning, was seen at the Heddens
House yesterday. He gave a full de-
scriptiOn of the work accomplished as
we'll as what yet remains to be done.
By far the heaviest part of the PROPOSE
( ton was the eXCavating required for
( the pipe and on this branch of the
/ work large number of men, frequent
ly as many as 70, were employed The
/ system requires 1900 feet of l5-inCh
( sewer pipe 1900 feet OF 6-inch iron
/ pressure pipe and upwards of 1900 feet
of other pipe ? TO inches in diameter.
/ The work of laying pipe was done dur
ing the winter aud Mr. Riegling cx-
/ planned that the freezing conditions in
stead of proving u detriment TO excava
tion aided in its accomplishment.
Many of the trenches, he said. were
seventeen feet deep and the constant
! freezing as the trenches sank kept the
sides firm and solid so that cribbing
was not needed.
The system is now so nearly com
pleted that it can be used as far AS the
distributing reservoir. 1t has already
been given trial up to as far as that
! Toint and after Thursday. which is the
dare that the trustees hold IL meeting.
IT will he thrown into regular service.
Th3 part of the system not y,t COM
al disposal of the sewage over the land
AS fertilizer. The distributing pipes
leading out from the reservoir are al.
ready in position in the open trenches.
What yet remains to lie dCIe is 10 bill
up the trenches, which cannot be &C.
Oomplished so as to make a satisfactory
job of it until the frost leaves til,
ground. At present the trenches are
still nearly full of snow
While it may be several weeks be
fore the last touches are put upon tht
trenches the system is practically com
pleted aud in good worbiug order. Mr.
RieRlng expects to leave for home a
the close of the present week.

WELCOMED IN
THE Church

The several weeks of revival service
and the steady and aggressive effort
put forth By the pastor, Rev John
Sherman, at the First Baptist church
has born very good fruit and at the
morning service Sunday seventeen
young people received the hand OF
Christian fellowship.
The new members, all of whom were
under thirty aud the majority of whom
were under twenty years, were receiv-
ed by baptism during the last two
months. The services welcoming them
into the church Sunday, during
which the Lords Supper was o1ssrv-
ed, was most impressive thoughout
Rev. Sherman preached an appropriate
sermon, founded Oh the 8th and 9th
verses of the third chapter of Acts
And hs leaping up stood and walked
and entered with them into the temple,
walking and leapiug and praisiug God
and all the people saw him walking
aud praising God. "
The Scriptures were very aptly ap-
piled in the sermon. A saved person
is in the position of the lame mau of
| the text IN that he is healed in the
name of Jesus. Like the lama man he
ought to be joyful and to use his new
strength and devote his new life to
praising God; also he ought to show
this TO the world.
The members of the First Baptist
church are much grstified at the slow
ing made along all lines. Flattoring
as was the accession to membership
yesterday there are still more couvt TITS
waiting for baptism.
Rev. Sherman has been in charge of
the congregation less than year aud
not only has a growth of the mem 5er-
ship and an increase of spiritual lifs
marked his labors but the congregation
has prospered financially, meeting al
its obligations and paying off some
floating debts.
