WATER STOLEN At
CLARK MOUNTAIN

Conditions out here in the desert
country are d fferent from other
places, and what would he con.
sidered merely petty theft in
some countries rises to the dignity
Of a heinous crime out in the sand.
Stealing the water a man has
provided for himself and his horses
is this kind Of a crime. says the
Wonder News.
Transfers hauling fret ght into
Wonder must either make a very
long drive from the Frenchman's
water station. or provide a cam
plug place by the way.
Jack Phelps who haul's regularly
for Wonder merchants. and Tony
Cano, the teamster for the Neva da
Wonder, have an arrangement by
which each hauls water to Chalk
mountain in barrels, on the out.
ward trip, to supply the homeward
bound. These barrels are unloaded
at convenient place at the foot
Of the hill unguardcd, and the
unwritten law of the desert is
Supposed to protect them. If
some one comes along and needs
water he helps himself to enough
to get TO station, replacing what
he used Immediately. The msonry
Of the road permits this. Last
week, however, some miscreant,

to be beyond redemption, stole two
Of the four barrels provided for

to send word in by the stage

him to Chalk mountain at the
right moment, his horses would
have had to come on TO camp eight
miles up hill. tired and very
thirsty.
Should the person guilty of this
act be caught at it, he will
probably be made to sincerely
regret it, for no one who knows
desert rules will have any sym

MORE sunny
JIM CONSERVATION

1t will be remembered that Vice
Pref James Sherman recently
did what few vice presidents have
ever done made himself famous.
1t was by delivering a speech on
the somewhat hackneyed and
prosaic subject of conservation.
From this very dull material he
managed to construct a master
piece. He said, LET this genera
ton use up all the natural re-
sources it wants. and let the next
gene ration shift for ITSELF"
Perhaps it might be thought
that was fame enough for any one
man. But not SO. Sunny jim is
to pull off another enc.
This time it is about the wool
clothing and schedule K. In order
that the insurgents and tariff
reformers might not p ali any wool
over his eyes, Genial Jim went in
for personal investigation. He
paid visit to New Jersey wooden
mill-the sort of place where
schedule X is doing its greatest
harm, according to the point Of
view.
He saw the raw wool unpackcd
and sent through various machines,
until it came out finished cloth.
The wool he watched and the
cloth he saw finished is now being
made into suit of clothes, in
which he will appear next week,
when he max IS his great speech at
Camden. N. j.. or the conservation
of wool and the sacred high pro
tective principles Of the rchpubli-
can party.
s.Thc burden Of his remarks, as in
the case of conservation, will un-
doubtedly be: LET Us set all we
can while we are at it,"
1t will unqucStionaly he an elo-
quent speech, and the vice presi-
dents fame will be enhanced
thereby; but there will be one
great drawback to it. The pro-
tectcd interests of this country
have already squeezed out Of the
buying public all that the public
will stand. The public cant get
a suit Of clothes by just standing
and watching wool go through
mill. Herein is whore Sunny

HOW TO TURN ONE CENT

In 1882. 2 writes j. Holt School
ing in the November Strand Maya
zine, a project was suggested to
tap the force of Niagara by coG-
structing turbines. or water
wheels. and to transmit this force
Of falling water Throughout the
United States. The water power
OF Niagara was then estimated at
ten million cubic feet per second,
and the value Of this utilized
force was estimated at one and a
half million dollars per day.
In 1889. the city of Buffalo con-
tracted with the Niagara Power
company for 10000 horse power
at Sl50,000 per annum, to light the
city and to drive factories by q

James J. Callahan turned another

day afteronon Just at the psychological
moment. then Ping Bodie swung on the
ball and the Sox gained a glorious vic
tory over the worlds champion Ath-
letics by the close score of to 3.
CARS trick was to steal third base in
the fifth inning with one man out. He
had just driven home the tying run
line for two bases. BY stealing third
he was able to come home with the
winning when Ping drove a long
fly to Briscoe Lord close to the left
field wall
Callahan had driven in the first run
for the Sox In the opening inning, so
was directly responsible for three of
the four tallies made by the south sid
ers, and consequently he gained much
fame for himself on the afternoons
rastiming. But Callahan didn't win
the game by himself by any means.
Matty McIntire played an important
part in the offensive playing, and so
did Bodie and Lee TannehilI.
Then there were nine men in the de-
fensive play all the time, Billy Sulli-
