McGU|RE AND THE CANVAS TOP SHOWS
Though He Is Making a Success of the Stage, He Loves the
 Flying Trapeze.

You may say all you want tc
 about circus life being the worst ever. but if I hadn't fallen fiftv-five
 feet and broken my leg. arm and collarbone. thereby putting myself out of commission as a wire and trapeze

 Harris Mcclure. one of the prin- cipal comedians with the Gaiety Nu- sical Comedy company. which is to open the Empress theater New Years night, has views decidedly opposite to majority in speaking Of his earlier experiences. every one of which. from the time of his birth to that of his accident. occurred under canvas
 Circus life and Mcclure were in- separable. Born in the Barnum S Bailey winter quarters at New Or leans some twenty odd years ago. he remained with the organization prac- tically all his younger days. except when in school His parents were wire walkers. and were included in that rare class known as circus aristocTacy." They joined P. T. Bar mum before his show was ever trans ported about by rail.
 When McGuire was seven years old his father fell to his death while per forming. Four years later his mother did likewise. Since that time Mac" has been battling for himself. He looks back with pride to being one of the originals of the Barnum show P. T. Barnum took a fancy to him as an infant. and made provisions for his education. which were car ried out
 When his accident at Winnipeg prevented him from remaining longer in the circus game. he went to san Francisco and turned his attention to theatricals. He made good from the start. and when Kolb & Dill came to the coast he immediately joined as one of their principal comedians. During the four years he was with them he did nothing but "rube" parts. and became known about the coast as that narrer Rube." It was with Kolb X Dill that he first met Bud Duncan. his present partner in the Gaiety company. They worked to- Sether off and on for months. and each knows exactly what the other is going to do. As a result they go like clockwork. and then some.
 Mcclure has a swell Dutch com ady part in "A Visit to Paris He does more of an eccentric Dutch, while Bud Duncan is the straight Teuton. Macs" song. Never Again, one of those peculiar affairs that las to he in the hands of a real artist to get by. proves a riot in Me -iuire's hands. It's always good for i've encores. while the eccentric lance steps that he introduces add .o the hilarity.

CEMENT
 AND LUMBER
Reclamation Service Will Furnish Farmers at Cost Prices, Construction Ma terials to Perfect Their Ditch Systems.

The government has made another
 new departure for the mutual benefit Of itself and the farmers, in the con- pletiOn of reclamation projects. de- signed to work the more satisfactory
 handling of irrigation water as well as increased economy in the use of it. through furnishing lumber and cement for ditch purposes on private proper ties at cost.
 Farmers in irrigation countries now appreciate the losses of water by Seep- age and evaporation anu all men ap- preciate the unsightliness of poorly kept dirt ditches, too much to need any argument respecting the desir- ability of having all supply ,iitches ce- ment lined and all headgates and flum- eS properly constructed There is no up to date farmer who does not yearn for these improvements and it is only limited means that keep farmers gen. erally from making them. The gov ernment is also very much alive to the fact that where such improv ements are made given amount Of water will do vastly greater service than otherwise It will water more land and do it better. while the expense of ditch cleaning is greatly minimized. But the government cannot improve private property and most of the farm CTS cannot afford the expense of these at prevailing retail prices for the material.
 At first thought some may conceive tEis to be an invasion of the field of private commercialism by a socialistic idea; that it will clip the wings of the local dealers in cement and lumber This is not the case for at prices it is ne ecessary for the local dealer to make, the work cannot be done. hence he loses nothing. for the materials will not be sold for another than the pur- pose named. The local dealers on the may profit from the plan. The farmers having equipped their ditches perfectly, when able to do so will want to make other farm constructions of

cement and lumber in keeping with the general perfection of their ditch system, and materials for such i'm pIovements must be brought through regular trade channels. There is ev- cry reason therefore why the local dealers shouki encourage rather than discourage the plan proposed. It is set forth in tho following service order No. 191. issued by F. H. Newell direc tor of the reclamation service and ad- dressed tc all supervising and project engineers
 SERVICE ORDER NO. 1e1.
 As matter of economy of water and of the best development of the country to encourage the water users to employ cement in building the structures for handling water on the iarm in Inning farm bitches, and any ether works having to do with the dis tributiOn Of water to the fields and orchards, the secretary of the interior. ir letter dated Dec. I4, 1911. granted authority for the sale of cement and lumber by the reclamation service to water users on it's projects. upon the following terms and coalitions:
 Hereafter you are authorized to sell cement and lumber from the ware houses of the reclamation service to water users on reclamation projects in the vicinity, to be consumed on their respective farms in building and re pairing structures for the beneficial use of water delivered through govern ment canals for the irrigation of such farms. and in lining farm ditches and any other works having to do with the distribution of such water. Such sales should be made at cost. including freight and overhead charges: the cost should be carefully estimated So as to preclude the possibility of any loss to the reclamation fund
 lnasmuch as the said use of the ma terials to be thus sold is in effect an and perfection of the pro- Jeets constructed by the government. consider that sales under the restric- ticns herein set forth do not enter into the field Of private enterprise anI therefore cannot properly be objected to as governmental competition with private capital"
