enlarge and broaden that portion of the canals which receive these flood waters so that the banks can act as a dyke and the canals act more effectively as conduits for the water. All of the ca nals are dug with steep banks, which every practical engineer knows is the poorest form of water conduit as it is hard to keep in repair owing to it's tendency to cut away below and cave In and affords a smaller flow of water than a canal of equal cross section with wide sloping banks.
 In the hasty repairs that have been made from time to time on these ca nals the dirt instead of being taken from the walls of the canal and drawn back at an easy slope and thrown up into substantial dyke. has been dug away from the surface alongside the canal and heaped up on the bank, thus making in several places three ditches with but slight difference in their bot toms and separated from each other by two walls of dirt which have a tendency to split and fall both ways whenever softened by a copious flood and at all times an invitation to go- phers to burrow through and turn ev- en the ordinary irrigation water into the side ditches. This sort of policy will never produce a good substantial ir- rigation system so why not go to work right and make each of the four ca nals protection instead of a perpetual menace. If the work is done in the proper manner practically all of the dirt can be moved by teams and scrap CTS and the cost reduced to a minimum.

A KEY TO THE LABOR PROBLEM

It has become an axiom in the com
 mercial world that in the long run
 those transactions most promote pros
 perity which are advantageous alike to buyer and seller. It is coming to be realized in the industrial world that the same thing is true regarding the arrangements between employers and employees and that nc arrangement is permanent that is not regarded as be- ing beneficial to both. In other words. the only healthy industrial condition is that in which the employer has the best men obtainabIe for his work and the workman feels that his labor is being sold at the highest market price.
 The employer who insists on more service than he pays for and the em-
 ployee who demands excessive wages for his work both lose continually in the long run. The former worries con- tinually about how to manage dissatis- fled workmen who are continually on the verge of a strike. and in dull times the latter lives in constant dread that his employer may no longer be able to

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir: Now that it is fairly well set tied fact that something will be done to confine the Cave Creek freshets it would be well to consider how the money will be expended. The money to be apportioned can be expended in two ways to accomplish the object sought for. One is to build dyke merely for the purpose of conining or defecting the waters. and another and. in my opinion, a far better way is to

LUCK IN THE HORSESHOE.
Legend of St. Dunstan the Origin OF
the Popular Belief.

the Popular beliet.
The origin OF belief in horseshoe
luck" is so ancient that It never has
been determined with certainty and
no superstition is more universal.
Ever since horses began to wear
shoes those crescents OF iron have
been accounted luck smblsms by all
peoples, races and nations that have
been acquainted with their use. In
England. up 20 comparatively recent
times, horseshoes were extensively
used almost everywhere as antiwitch
charms and the custom is not even yet
IN extinct one No witch, It used TO
be said, could enter a building over
the door Of which horseshoe. or bet
ter still, three horseshoes, had been
affixed, prongs downward
The origin of this particular belief
Is referable to the old legend OF St
Dunstan. This versatile ecclesiastic
was a skilled farrier and one day
while at work in his forge the evil
one entered in disguise and requested
DunstAn TO shoe HIS single hoof"
The saint, although be at once recog
nized his maligu customer, scceded,
but caused him so much pain during
the operation that Satan begged him
to desist. This Dunstsn did, but only
after ne had made the evil one prom
lse that neither he nor any OF the
lesser evil spirits, his servants, would
ever molest the inmates OF a house
where horseshoe was displayed.

Let us Fairmont people keep away
from that cheap article of Wheeling

sport. In a previous chapter we men.
toned the attitude of the Nail City
sports when It came to a benefit game.
The local players and their loyal ad-
mirers are going around selling tick.
cts for fifty cents (which includes
grand stand admission) and they re-
port Indifferent success. Heretofore
hundreds OF people focked to the Sun
day games when things looked good
and there is not single stakeholder
in the baseball association that could
not afford to lose every cent he put
into the affair. still 1t seems that when
ii comes to an affair wherein the men
who do the work are concerned the
public does not take kindly to It.
Our sporting column is open to any
one who wishes to explain this.
Whether you care to go or whether
you do not it seems that all should at
least contribute four bits to the fund.
If You do not attend Sunday games
then you should consider the fact
that while You are taking rest on the
Sabbath these players have no choice
in the matter but are out at Traction
Park earning their livelihood. SO let's
all put up half case note and show
small token of appreciation of the
services rendered by the most gentle
manly set of ball players that ever
struck Fairmont.
