From Mondays Daily.
A force of one hundred men is now
constantly employed in the construc-
ton of the Schaeffer dam and reser-
voir for the Beaver Land and Irriga-
ton company and the work is pro-
gressing rapidly. A night shift has
recently been put on and the under
taking will be prosecuted with greater
vigor than ever in order that the
reservoir may be ready to receive the
floods that gather during the summer
season at the southern slopes of the
Pixies Peak range of mountains. The
building of the dam Is in charge OF the
Fox and Smith Constructing COM
pany of Florence. The company lis
at the present engaged in building
from the dam road to the new gravel
pit and as soon as the excavation is
finished a railroad track will be laid
and dump cars operated between the
two points. This will greatly facili-
tate the filling in process and assure
the completion of the work within
contract time.

And the smiling countryside in

OF deep affection bound me.

Around that simple dwelling.
And l didn't give a whoop outdoors
How groceries were selling.
! dreamt that 1 dwelt in overalls.
With hired men to serve me,
And something when misfortune falls
To happily preserve me.
] heard the lowing of the kline
As deep-toned as an organ.
And the thrill of ownership was
mine.
The same as Mr. Morgan.

As all the railroads want me:
And the city and its gloomy walls
Were nevermore to haunt me.

crusts
With nothing much to fret me.
And I hoped around and dared the
trusts
To come out there and get me.
April was anciently the second
month. and I was entirely sattsfso-
tory Ia that position until the found
ing of Rome. This occurred upon
April 81, and the Romans found It
necessary to keep the day with one
Of their patriotic parades. After they
had lost most of their toes and stop
ped the parade three or four times
while everybody went in and got
warm. they yielded second place on
the calendar to February and SHOW
ID April along to balmier weather.
The name is from the Latin April
fs, or the opener. who was the Rom
IN god of poker. This was a great
pastime with the Romans and It 50
deeply impressed itself upon the ma
tional life that Aprilis became in time
q sort OF all around corkscrew for
opening spring or whatever else per-
tanned to the Roman experience. 1t
was form of humor among the Ro-
man wits to say that Aprilis had
opened spring and bet robin or
something similarly characteristic.
and the weather bureau of that time
wholly confined its conjectures to
what Aprilis probably held or would
draw which made this branch Of
the government a great favorite with
the people. instead of something that
everybody damns. as 1t is with us.
