Discovery That Must Have Come as a
Great Relief to the Young
Lawyer.

One rainy day recently, a young
lawyer, thinking he would like to take
a little flyer in stocks, called at the
office of his broker, who happened to
be his most intimate friend. When
he reached the office a new clerk
whom he had never seer before told
him that the broker was engaged, but
would be at liberty In a few minutes.
While sitting idly In the waiting room
the young lawyer noticed something
that made his eyes almost drop out.
The gloom Of the day necessitated the
use of artificial light in the brokers'
private office. Silhouetted upon the
ground glass partition between the
two rooms the lawyer saw the shad-
ows of man and a woman They
were both seated. the broker at his
desk and the oma beside and fac
ing him. Every moment or SO the
lips of the shadows seemed to meet
affectionately. Something about the
profile OF the woman struck the law

walked, and the free arm swung
across his chest. He struck into the
wood-road with a song and hallooed
to the stiffness. The love-sick boy Of
yesterday was gone. Taking off his
cap he called and sang till the blue
jays forgot to be frightened and how
cred, curious, in the trees overhead.
He took off his cap to them. looking
up through the tree-tops to the blue
simmer of sky. He swung the cap
around his head and they darted away
"a blue and white clatter of sound.
He replaced it, laughing softly.
The earth was alive. He reached
out to the bushes as he passed, trail
ing the budded stems through his fin
gers and brushing the purple-brown
oak leaves with swiftest touch. When
he came to the tree that he vas to

the Lovelock Theatrical company
who replied to "Montie"of the Car
son News, regarding the ability of
the aforesaid company, had the lat
ters goat" In his last paper
the lead item of the editorial page
is devoted to an apology. When
you can get newspaper man to
apologising. you can depend upon it
that if you haven't got his goat,
you have at least got him looking
rather sheepish. However be that
as is may, here is what the brother
editor has to say:
''If there is one thing more than
another that a newspaper man dis
likes, 1t is to apologize. Still there
are times when such occasions arise
and in the spirit of fairness it
should be done.

see the error of our ways From
what we have heard of Lovelock we
thought that hearse would be the

All of the timber for the county

beams, or sills are all in place on
top of the abutmcnts walls and piers
of the dam to receive the stringers
of the bridge.
The back filling against the walls
of the dam is now about complete
and rock is being hauled to protect
the banks above and below the dam,
from the securing action of the
water.
The floor of the concrete headgat
at the head of the Union Canal has
been completed and the concrete for
the abutments and piers is now be-
ing placed. The middle pier of this
headgate is being made long enough
to allow of a. wagon bridge being
placed on top of the structure.
The excavation for other concrete
structures along the canal is being
carried on.
