Speaking of good and bad roads,
there is a road to love, st~ewn with
roses; the road to honor, through
achievement; the road to health,
through right living; the road to
success through hard work I'd close
application; the road to prison
through violation of the law. the
road to poverty through drink and
the road to sorrow and shame
through dish 7nor. Yes, there are
many roads, straight and crooked
and he is wise who chooses the bet
ter paths. H. E. Hoard.

eyer raised. C. l.. Albrecht, who
has the E. H. Blanchard farm rented
predicts that he will get about 2055

makes an average per acre of better
than 76 bushels. At 80 cents per
bushel the corn would bring S616.50.
Conductor Tom Kinney-Inside of
two years and probably less you will
see the H. & D. double tracked to
Aberdeen. All the new culverts and
bridges have been built for double

you won't kick on. The line just
now is swamped with construction
work and new business from the
coast extension.

 TO GOOD WOMAN

New York August 1.-That an injus- tice has been done Mrs. Helen Spencer, the woman recently arrested in Ecuador and brought here on a charge of having engaged in the white slave" traffic for the Panama canal zone, was admitted in court here today when the indictment against her was dismissed by Judge Ro- salsky. The action was taken on the recommendation of the district attorney s office The recommendation was submit ted in writing and read: Since this case was placed on the calendar of the courts here for trial, the girls who are the chief witnesses have admitted to the district attorney under circumstances which show good faith and preclude the prosecution of them for perjury, that their testimony had been false in essential particulars.
 Under their present statement 1t ap- pears that the defendant did not commit the crime charged herein, and the dismiss sal of the indictment is, therefore, recom- mended."
 Mrs. Spencer is said to be the wife of a prosperous contractor in Panama.
 The story originally told by the three girls and which caused Mrs. Spencer indictment, was that she had induced them to go to Panama to obtain employ ment on the stage, but they found in- stepd that they were really destined for a. sort on the isthmus

ELLA GINGLES
 SAILS FOR HOME

New York, August 11.-Ella Gingles, the young Irish lacemaker, whose trial in Chicago for larceny from her employer attracted national attention because of her sensational charge that an attempt had been made to force her into white slavery sailed for her home in Ireland today on the steamer Campania. After her acquittal, orangemen in the west and in this city raised fund to send her back to Ireland. Before sailing today she dis cussed her case without bitterness and declared that she would be able to prove to her people in Ireland that she had not been guilty of telling untruths about the occurrences in Chicago.
 Miss Gingles was accompanied by Mrs. Grace Van Duesen Cook of Boston, who has taken a deep interest in her case
 "I wish you would state distinctly that Miss Gingles is not being deported, nor was she given any intimation by any court order that 1t would be best for her to leave this country. She goes merely to escape that evil band of men,

Is not the policy of the national govern ment in the administration of this act to hinder or interfere with the investment of private capital in the construction of irrigations, but rather to lend 1t encour- agement. This is particularly true in reference to irrigation under the Carey act in the various states.
 While it is possible that persons of limited means may successfully enter and acquire irrigated lands, it will gen. erally be found that it is not a poor mans proposition unless coupled with in- telligent industry in agriculture. The people of the west, who are familiar with the wonderful results in irrigation, are highly appreciative of the importance of the reclamation service, but the great difficulty which the service encounters Is in finishing the projects now undertaken as against the clamor for a diversion of the funds to new fields. In this respect the service has suffered in not carrying to completion a less number of projects than 1t is now engaged in constructing. l cannot conceive of anything which will contribute more to the permanent wealth and prosperity of the reclamation states and territories than the continued con struction on the broadest possible scale of irrigation works.
 T may mention here what has fre- quently occurred to me as a source of ad- vantage both to the states and the fed eral government, and that is the securing from the various states of uniform legis- lation in the matter of the appropriation of the water. and its beneficial use. and also legislation looking to the control and af {lal,
 This Congress could accomplish no greater work, beyond the stimulation of interest in the development of irrigation, than to secure uniform water regulations in the state and also uniform legislation affecting interstate waters.
 Ours is a nation of great resources and possibilities. Its wealth is greater than that of any single country even of France and Germany combined, and this wealth Is increasing at fabulous rate. Much of 1t has been accumulated by the destruction, by the sacrifice and waste of natures gifts, and 1t is fortuitous cir cumstance that the country has been brought to understand the importance of utilizing and saving our natural wealth and making it possible for the nation to continue to prosper and for the genera tions that are to come to have some share in that prosperity. For this reason, if for no other, the work of reclamation of the arid and the semi-arid lands of the west is worthy of first importance in the development of the nations resources. Every acre of irrigated land will be need ed in the nations economy.
 Tn a century we have passed from a purely agricultural country to an indus trial and commercial country, but we have not outgrown the necessity for agri- culture"

BALL|NGER'S VIEW
 IF IRRIGATION Government Plans Have Been Aided By The People WEST GREATLY HELPED BaIIinger Declares Nothing VIII Con- tribute More to Build Up the West Than Broad Scale of
 Irrigation Works.
WEST GREATLY HELPED

Spokane. Wash, August 1.-The fol- lowing address was delivered by R. A. Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior, at the national irrigation congress:
 Secretary Ballinger, who spoke on the attitude of the administration toward the reclamation of arid land in the west, said in part:
 While the government has invested over $50, GOO in irrigation works, many times that amount has been invested since the passage of the reclamation act by private enterprises, and 1t is safe to say that a large portion of these private in vestments have resulted from govern mental example and encouragement; and let me say here that 1t has not been and
