BIG CONTRACT
is HELD UP

The proposed contract of the Rec
lamatlon Service covering the cOntro
OF water at the outlet of Lake Taho,
depends upon the decision of Presi
dent Taft. The officials at the Recia
nation Service are cOurteously silent
about it. The law officers of the
Department of the Interior. especiaI
/ iy Assistant Attorney Oscar Lawler.
! unfortunately Californian. is d..,-
| courteously abusive about the matter
as none of the publicS business as
far as his connection with it $ con-
| cerned.
President Taft has received the
protest OF William Kent against the
contract which is expected to grant
W. +. Hammon. or IA corporation
which he represents, power rights in
the waters. He has not given it any
particular consideration thus far. be-
cause he has been occupied with tne
tariff questions. Secretary of the
Interior Balinger and the director oi
the Reclamation Service are both in
IN the west. Before he departed Mr.
Newell stated he expected the con.
tract would be completed shortly. al
though he did not specify what it,
terms were.
1t is thought unlikely that tn,
question will be disposed OF for
some time. Apparently Mr.. Lawlor
has been expected to make some re-
port on the legal phases. There is
little likelihood that any decisive
action will be taken before Secre-
tary BallinSer returns and probably |
not until President Taft is back from
ms western trip. Whatever th>
terms OF the contract were Mr.. New
ell was satisfied they met all the re-
quirements of the True kee- Carson
reclamatlon project which was natur-
ally the uppermost consideration with
him.
President Taft does not want to
work any more than is absolulcl,
Necessary while on his vacation. an,
5 therefore not expected to give il
my personal attention for the pres
mt. The Kent papers have been
eierrcd by the White House to the
hterlor department for an invrsti-
,arion and IA report.

Authors Witty Remark.

KinglAke, the author Of "Eothen,'
was afflicted with govt, and he had a
fancy to try lady doctor, and wrote
to one to ask if govt was beyond her
scope. She replied: Dear sir, govt is
not beyond my scope, but men are.
1t was kinglake who uttered one OF
tie neatest mots on the peculiar char,
ater Of the Times. He had little fond
ness for that journal, in spite Of per
sonal friendships which might have
been expected to soften his view Of the
question. The paper was still to him
a sort OF 1uggernaut. irresistible and
fateful. On seeing the announcement
OF the new editors marriage, he ex
claimed: Heavens that brings the
Times into relations with humanity"

While coal Is mined at a greater
depth in Belgium than in most coun-

accidents is less in that country than
in any other. For the ten-year period
from 1891 to 1900 the number of ia
telities per 10000 workmen was 1854
per annum. In the metallic-ore mines
the number of workmen who have

Maturity Of Men and Women.

1t is supposed that a man reaches
the maturity of his reasoning powers
and mental faculties at the age OF %,
while a woman is mature in mind at
Is. This brings a man to the pleasant
and satisfying conclusion that the no.
bier and more perfect and splendid a
thing is, the slower it is to arrive at a
state of maturity. Women may reply
that brain matter has no sex and that
girls, being brighter, find their own
worth, sooner. However, every WON.
an, old or young, must acknowledge
the splendor and nobility OF the male
character under all circum stances and
conditions.

sit down to a meal at the same table
