IF THE De KALB
LADIES ONLY KNEW
They Might Be Outraged at Humor
With Wh;cl, Their Very Serious
Letters Have Been Regarded.

When twelve De Kalb ladies, twelve
fascinating, interesting, charming, and
thoroughly enhancing ladies of De
Kalb. Illinois, wrote to the United
States Reclamation Service askin for
information about the salt River val
ley. they had no idea that their dainty
letters would be turned over To a mum
dane press for analysis. or TO a bust
ness-like board of trade for matter
of fact reply.
The observation has been made by
a number Of persons since the first
article concerning the De KalD inqui-
ries was given to the world through
the columns Of The Republican, that
the press had. in a way. abused the
confidence of twelve confiding and I'M
suspecting women.
Although no formal charge has been
made against the Reclamation Service
for turning the letters over to the Board
Of Trade for reply, it is believed that
unless the letters of the Secretary, Mr..
Harry Welch, prove very diplomatic
and interesting. the young ladies may
band together and turn the matter oV-
er to the Society for the protection of
young ladies'"
It was intimated yesterday in GER
tain quarters that the official of the
United States Reclamation Service
who opened the letters should have
considerer it a duty to reply at once,
and to keep all the letters from the
press until the writers had formally
signified their Willingness to have them
published.
Had the matter under discussion been
less important it is doubtful if there
would have been any further mention OF
the matter, but a question was raised
concerning the number of eggs a heal
thy hen could lay in Arizona. and
the publication of a letter
which related TO the building of a mood
le factory. an industrial secret was dis
closed that may result in the loss of a
large amount of Eastern hat money.
