WATER ANO hIx

An eastern contemporary states
that an expert examination Of the
books OF the borden Condensed Milk
company. controlling u per cent OF
the milk trade Of New York City,
shows that OF the S20.0OO,OO cap.
italizatlon three-Quarters, or sl5. .o00.-
OO0, is represented by ''trade.marks,
good WILL" etc. On this capitaliza-
tion q dividend OF 10 per cent has
been paid On the common stock and
q per cent on the preferred. Another
significant figure brought TO light was
that the company has piled up sur
plus Of more than 5000, 900 In ten
years. Yet the Borden company aud
other companies examined and show.
ing about equal thrift In profit max
Ing, claim that they cannot make
money selling milk at 8 cents q quart.
They would raise the price n . cents.
The figures are valuable a. showing
how water seems to be inseparable
from the milk business, taking for an
example that little sl5, 10000 In the
Borden capitalization. The figures
are also worth noting as suggesting
that the present high cost OF living IL
likely enough attributable to the
desire Of those combines controlling
products To put up prices that good
dividends may bc made on millions OF
stock that Is not milk but water pure
ly. The pump, after all, appears to
play an important part 10 the milk
business, at least In New York

The government has finally decided
to restore leo, 600 acres Of land 10 the
Uncompahgre valley which had been
withdrawn from settlement pending
completion of the Gunnison tunnel.
The 35, 600 acres near Grand Jun ction
are still held In reserve pending the
governments uncertainty In taking
up the work Of building the highline
ditch but this restoration will prob
ably come In time. The Uncompahgre
lands will be thrown open April Goth.
More than three-fourths Of this land
Is under ditch or will be when the
canal is opened. Some OF the land Is
worth as much as $500 an acre and We
look for grand rush to get the bene.

Sam in building the tunnel. The
reclamation service has announced
that water will be turned into the

can put In crop this year IL they de.

been received, but 1t is probable that
drawing will be held and the same
scheme followed as 10 other states.
The plan is not very satisfactory but
1t seems the only way out. Tie tracts
to be disposed OF will probably not ex-

WATCH YOURSELF GO BY

Just stand aside and watch yourself go by;
Think of yourself as "he." instead Of a.
Note closely. as in other men you note.
The bas-kneed Trousers and the seedy coat.
Pick flaws: find fault forget the man is you.
And strive to make your estimate ring true
Confront yourself and look you in the eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself 60 Bly,
Interpret all your motives just as though
You looked on one ,vhdse aims you did not know
Let undisguised contempt surge thru you when
You see you shirk O commonest of men!
Despise your cowardices condemn whateer
You note of falseness in you anywhere.
Defend not one defect that shames your eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself go by.
And them with eyes unveiled to whatyou loathe-
To sins that with sweet charity you'd clothe-
Back to your selfwalled tenements you'll go
With tolerance for all who dwell below.
The faults of others then will dwarf and shrink
Loves chain grown stronger by one mighty link
When you. with he" a. substitute for 49,
Have stood aside and watched yourself go by.

little valued as love. Every day, all
most every hour, men and women al

motives of vanity. cynical writer
long ago remarked that in every case
OF love there is one person who loves
and another who submits to be loved.
That unhappily, is almost always true.
OFTEN 1t. happens that the moment
a woman becomes sure a man loves
her (and nature has provided her
with an unerrlng instinct by which
she inevitably knows. she begins to
become indifferent to him. often II
happens, on the other hand, that the
moment man knows that he is loved
by woman (and, commonly, he is
slow I'm absorbing that, knowledge) he
feels that the situation Is exactly what
it ought to be and that her homage
Is well bestowed, and he gazes
around for other votaries. That ~ not
the invariable occurrence, but that Is
the custom--the reason being that in
both sexes, vanity is generally the
strongest of all the passions of hu-

Spokane club of the Northwestern

him last fall. Flood probably does
not like the change. He must now

and then return i'm the fall. That
much travelling will cake lot of his
salary and Tim may try to land a
