 Insurance Of an ample water supply
 Tor the next year. The valley has had
 assurance for sometime. but insurance
 IS d shade stronger. At the present time the valley is using just about the normal flow of the river The pres ent storm will naturally increase that d littie.. even if it does not amount to a Hood. There is no speculation in saying there will be at least three feet more of stored water this winter and there may be fifty feet more. And every added foot in elevation means a much greater volume than the preced- ing foot With only three feet more added to the present supply. the eleva- tion of the pond will be 100 feet. at which point the reservoir will contain lO6,SSV acre feet. or water enough to cover that many acres one foot deep.
 That is not water enough to raise a crop in this valley. but it is just that much more than the normal flow and heretofore crops have been raised with the normal flow. Assuming that there IS long drouth next summer or that the flow in the river is sub-normal. | there will certainly be enough of it un- | der the worst. conditions. so that ad- l ded to this stored supply two irriga- | tions of the lands will be supplied | And two good general irrigations would put most crops in good shape. 1 even in very dry spell
 The above for the sake of conserva- tism is calculated on the basis of the worst possible conditions that could be expected. The weather in dications and the heavy snow fall in the mountains already is almost a positive assurance that there win be several very respectable floods during the rest of the winter season, that will i'll the reservoir as fast as the en- sineers will permit. and if they are pig floods, good deal faster.

ten years ago accidents to liners from

then the sailing track Of the New

NOTED PREACHER-HUMORIST
Story Told About Robert J. Burdette
by Brother Humorist.

Rev. Robert j. Burdette of Los An
geles, Cal, one Of the last of the bril-
liant galaxy Of old school humorists. Is
the subject of the following story,
which Is told by his friend, Strickland
w. Gillian, also humorist, who halls
from Baltimore:
One day as a California clubwoman
was driving an eastern friend along
Orange Grove avenue, Pasadena. Cal,
she pointed to the beautiful Spanish
home of the Burdcttcs on the hilltop.
THAT" she said, SIS the home Of
Rev. Robert j. Burdette. You've heard
of him and read his prose and poetry
"Ive heard Of his prose. of course"
replied the eastern lady, "but l don't
recall his poetry"
mo, Of course not" replied her Cal
ifornia hostess, "for it's the funniest
thing-he signs all his prose writings
Robert j. Burdette' and all his poetry
James Whitcomb Riley"
During his seven years of newspaper
work in New York Mr. Burdette made
a host Of friends and gained a larger
host of admirers in the metropolis. His
career began obscurely on a little
newspaper published in Peoria, Ill. 1t
was there that his humorous writings
first attracted attention In 1874. He
soon went to the Burlington Qa)
Hawkeye, on which paper he worked
with increasing brilliancy and success
for several years.
The vein Of sweet seriousness which
marked SO much of even his most hui
morous writing was traceable in part
to living tragedy that clouded his
early career. His young wife, to whom
he referred as "her little serene hap
piness," became an incurable invalid.
But she never ceased to share with
him the pleasure and the labor Of his
literary work. He did most Of his
writing at table close to her bedside,
and she read every word of his pro-
life output, often crticising, often sug-
costing a thought or an abridgment.
1t was years after she died before
Burdette could resume entirely his
work as humorist But after many
years he was married again to Mrs
Presley Charlton Baker, brilliant wo.
man possessing vast estates in and
around Pasadena, Cal.

Steel Cars on Northwestern.

Convinced that the country is enter

prosperity, the railroads are beginning
to order equipment, power and steel

unknown for several years.
Orders for equipment and power ne
cessitating an aggregate expenditure

These two orders are an index to
the conviction among railway man.
