Worlds Highest Dirt Dam.

Florence.-Plans have been fled in
the office of State Engineer Comstock
for what if completed will be the high
est earth dam in the world. The pro-
posed dam is to be erected on Hard
scrabble creek and it is planned to
make it 21O feet in height. The high
est earth dam on recorS was construct
ed in Mexico and was 1S0 feet in
height. 1t was not successful piece
of work and was washed away.
1t is figured that the HardscIabble
dam will cost well over 100000. 1t
will contain roughly 1,750,000 cubic
yards of earth. II is necessary to
build it to so great a height in order
that a sufficiently large amount of wa
ter may be stored. 1t will be over l.
900 feet in length
The Hardscrabble Irrigation Dis
trict which plans the construction OF
the dam, is located in the southern
part of Fremont and northern Custer
county, few miles south of Florence.
1t is planned to put water ON a large
area of land by the construction of the
giant dam. 1t will be built at an ele-

WHATS The Answer?

Suppose man bought a farm for
81. 600 and moved on it before it was sur
veyed. After the survey was made the
number of acres was exactly what the
deed called for. A payment of $500 was
made to the agent and the purchaser
declined to take the deed on the ground
that the tract Of land does not include
the land that the agent pointed out TO
him.
He lived on the farm over five years
and refused to pay taxes or make any
more payments. The agent and owner
died.
II was taken to the Court of Appeals
and the decision was that there was no
legal contract Of sale.
Now. who owns the farm!

One Of the Happy Incidents in

STOCKTON. Md, March Z, 1911.

STOCKTON. Nd, March Z, 1911.
Editors Messenger:
In the summer of 1909, assisted by
Evangelist Rev. John +. Clark, held
revival service at Franklin City, Va, at
which many professed conversion, and
united themselves with the church.
Among the converts there was quite a
number of young people, whom | deemed
it best to organize into Young Peo-
pies Class" taking the leadership of it
myself, and associated with me. as
assistant leader, Mrs. Minerva Mills, a
most wise selection. From the very first
the class has been well attended, and
enthusiasm and devotion have charac-
terized the attitude of the members of
it so much so that it has been a real
pleasure to the leader to conduct it,
although it involved ride after night
of eight miles. On Friday night, March
3rd. the class met at the home of Mrs.
Mills, the assistant leader. about thirty
being present. After the class had been
conducted, and was about to enter upon
a service of social character to be sup
plemented by collation. provided by the
generous hostess, the assistant leader
arose and said that she wished to con-
vey to the leader the fact that his inter-
est in the class was highly appreciated
by the members of it, and, as material
token of it, presented to him in their
behalf beautiful silver shaving cup
with his initials handsomely engraved
upon it. The writer is never any too
we'll equipped with language to express
himself, but the utter surprise that was
sprung upon him on that occasion rem
dered it impossible for him to find words
that would fittingly represent the feel
ings of his heart. He will ever hold them
in loving remembrance. and his associa-
ton with them will constitute one of the
most pleasant memories of the days to
come.
While have determined upon change
of PASTORAL relation at the approaching
session of the conference. it is, never
theless. with feelings of deep and genu-
inc regret that sever the most pleasant
relations that have existed for the past
three years between myself and the
people of this charge. have been
treated with uniform and exceptional
kindness, and have received from time
TO time expressions of their apprecia-
tion of my ministry. Barring the terri
otorial extent of the charge, involving
long rides and much night work. it is
most pleasant people to serve. While !
feared ! was not physically capable of
doing the work when first came, yet |
have not missed an appointment Sunday
or week day on account of health dur
ing the three years, and do not regret
having been sent here. Ties of friend
ship have been knit which neither time
nor distance will sever, and any oppor-
tunity which the future may offer for a
renewal of them will be welcomed by
me. wish for my successor as happy
pastorate here as l have had, than
which he could desire nothing better.

How Marylanders Will Fare
Most of the chairmanships of the big

Committee, and these have been given
heretofore. 1t has been settled that
Congressman j. F. c. Talbot, of Mary
land will continue on the Naval Commit

interest in naval affairs make him
valuable man, and that he will also be
given one of the minor committee char
manships, which will give him COM
mittee room and an additional clerk.
Congressman J. Harry Covington will
be a member of the important Inter-
State and Foreign Commerce Commit
tee. 1t is understood place will be
made tor Congressman-elect George
Konig on the District of Columbia Com
mittee. David j. Lewis, of the Sixth
district, probably will land on either the
Military or the Post Roads Committee,
as he is anxions for one or the other
