A Bold, Bad Burglar Bug.

There was a bold. bad burglar bug
Who once upon time
Decided he would rob the clock.
And thus this little rhyme
And so with mask and lantern
He started out one night.
But he had scarce commenced to work
When he got an awful fright.
For 1t was an alarm clock.
And 1t went or with bang.
He ran as fast as he could 60
And quickly Joined his gang.
Hes never since molested
The clock In any way.
He'll not forget that awful night
Tor many and many day.

struction of an improved Dreadnought

enough acres to enable 264. 900 persons
to support themselves, while if the
Panama canal cost only 100000, 600

employed a population Of 13.2OOOOO.
Almost all OF the $4,000 acres that

cept that which has already been set
tied upon belongs to the government
The only exceptions are 5000 acres of
state and school lands and 1900 acres
that belong to individuals. AS an in
dication Of what water will do to the
price of dry land it may be stated that
before the Shoshone dam was built
any one could take his pick of the
tracts held by private holders il he
were willing to pay at the rate Of So
an acre. In fact, sellers usually con-
graduated themselves If they were
able to get rid Of their holdings on
such terms. 1t was the general opin-
ion that the buyer had been stuck
But now that the dam is In place and
the water has been turned on to thou

rise nearly 1000 feet above the stream.
At its base the Shoshone dam is sew
enty feet across; Oh top it is 175 feet
in length and at the bottom 10S feet
wide.
1t was on Sept. Is, 1905, that the
contract for the structure was let to
Chicago contractors for $515.73O, who.
however, defaulted in August, 1906,
and the work was taken up by the
sureties. The dam creates an enor-
nous reservoir, with a surface area
Of ten square miles and an average
depth Of seventy feet. Its capacity ex-
While figures and statistics make most
articles pretty dry reading, they are
absolutely necessary here in order to
give the reader some idea Of this
mighty structure. The work of con-
struction has been attended with diff
Guilty and danger from the beginning.
Its location is in a section which was
inaccessible until the government ex-
cavated an expensive road into the
canyon, many miles Of which were
cut from the solid rock.
The purpose Of this structure IS to
control for all time the great floods Of
the Shoshone river and to provide an
ample water supply for the irrigation
Of more than 100000 acres Of excep-
tionally fertile land in the valley be-
low. A portion Of this land is now
available for settlers under the terms
Of the reclamation act.

illustration Of the good that can be
accomplished with little money spent
IN the right way. Here is a dam that
has been built at total cost Of only
a little more than half a million dol
lars. It will not have to be built
again. 1t Is there to stay. Yet that
dam has reclaimed 10000 lost acres.
