ply and Alma and G orge Reed, charged
with the murder of Charles Sellers on the

From the evidence II was learned that
Charles Sellers and Harry Heath were both
infatuated with Miss Eunice Murphy, a
sister OF one of the prisoners. Some few
years ago they had fought over the girl and
bad feelings had existed since that time
On Friday night, June 1s q dance was
held at the T. o. Grove and Sellers had
been quite attentive TO Miss Murphy. Early
on the same evening she had been seen
talking with Sellers AZ the mail box in
front OF the Jack ranch where Sellers was
stopping. Apparently they were on very
friendly terms. and she showed 10 signs
OF being afraid of him
After the dance Heath and Murphy de-
eided to put stop to Sellers counting
and on Saturday night rode over TO the
Jack ranch. Their nerve apparently failed
for they did not enter the ranch house
but on Sunday sought friends to assist them
in carrying out their intentions. The Weed
brothers were the first ones approa ched
and they consented.

opments. but when he saw Sellers retire

of appropriating $4,000 towards the
building Of a macadam road be-
tween the south limits OF the city of

city, by private subscription, would
raise and present to the town the sum
of $4,000. It was also stated by w
B. Coddington that he would collect

giving the town $4,000 for the pur-
pose named. Plover voted to raise
So 900 by taxation and now the city
is prepared to make its promise good

scribed. Mr. Coddington will no
doubt fulfill his promise, if he has
not already done so, and it is an
ticipated that the work of building
the road will soon commence.

ENORMOUS
WATER RESOURCES
Fabulous Sums Involved in Wat
er DeveIopement-- Report by
United States Geological Sur
Vey.

AS water is a country's greatest
mineral resource, the study of the
water resources Of any. country is one
of its most important Investigations.
The United States Geological Survey
has been making a systematic study
of the rivers and other water supplies
in the United States and during the
last 15 years has published over 250
reports presenting the results of this
work. Perhaps the most important
phase of the work is the measurement
of streams. Records of stream flow
are absolutely essential to any intel
Iigent river development, whether it
be in the interest of navigation, of
flood prevention, of irrigation, or
of power development. In a report
| just issued by the Survey dealing
with the surface water supply of the
| Ohio river basin--Water-su supply Paper
| 263-attention is called to the impOr-
/ tance of long time records of stream
| flow, inas-much as all rivers vary
! greatly from year to year. Expert
ence has shown that such records
should cover all. stages from abso-
lutte maximum to absolute minimum,
and embrace periods of 5, 10, and for
some streams even 20 years. These
may seem at first glance excessive
lengths of time for a simple deter
mination of a rivers capacity, but whe.
the vast interests involved in river
development are considered it will be
recognized that enough care must be
taken to obtain trustworthy infor-
| nation.
