The Ordway new era., 1909-10-22

The project engineer on the North
Platte project, in Nebraska, reports a
most successful irrigation season for
1909. notwithstanding the newness
and extreme length of the main canal
and lateral system, the delivery OF
water was made in ample quantity to
each settler without a single disas-
trous break.
II is a pleasure TO travel over the
newly reclaimed lands to view the
bountiful harvests. The crops are
all made, potatoes are being dug, the
corn has ripened, and wheat and oats
are in the stack awaiting the thresh-
er. On the whole the yields have
been satisfactory and an air of opti-
mism pervadcs the valley.
The wonder working miracle OF
mixing water with the desert soil has
been wrought here A settled, pros
porous and contcnted community has
been established, which from this
time on will take its place among the
best OF the newly developed sections
Of the West. To the reclamation ser.
vice the most cheering feature is the
complete harmony which prevails in
The relations OF the local engineers
and the farmers. The mutuality OF
interests is recognized and all are
working together for the success OF
the valley. The service regards the
North Platte project as one OF the
best examples OF the wisdom Of the
Reclamation Act.

Is Your Family Reading Worth whiIss

So much OF current reading is mere
~ entertaining at best that the ques-
tiOn naturally arises, Is IL worth
while? Your sons and daughters are
bound TO read something. They hun
ger for stories which take them into
the other half of the world-the world
of adventure, OF valor, OF fortune
making. The problem is to give them
such reading without putting into
their hands the literature that Is
either silly or dcmoralizine. The cd
itors of The Youths Companion be-
lieve that periodical can be made
entertaining and yet "wOrth whilc,'
and The Companion is conducted on
that theory. And that is one reason
why more than half million Amcri-
can families read IL. The paper Is
safe but not dull Its tales OF advent
urc Illustrate the advantages of for
titude and self reliance. It's stories
of character lay stress on the truth
that right conduct is never IA mistake.
