have finished the survey of two res
ervoirs this summer, one of which will
contain ten thousand, seven hundred
acres of water one foot deep with a
dam requiring fifty-six cubic yards of
DIRT to the acre foot of water. The
other one will store about ten thcus-
and acre feet with less quantity of
dirt in the dam. There is plenty of
dirt available for building the dams at
small cost and the reservoirs are
ideal for holding water.
These reservoirs are so situated as
to cover the entire valley of thirty
thousand acres or more, by means of
about eight miles of ditch to the up

Laynan Taught Head of Yale

What. then. shall do?" the presi-
dent of Yale asked.
That's exactly what / am going to
tell you." Mr. Borden replied. There's
a good deal OF human nature to be
studied II you're going to raise a large
fund of money. Now. what you must
do first is to get four or FIVE or even
six men to say they will contribute
the larger part of the fund When
you have got pledges OF that kind.
you will be astonished to see how
quickly other rich men will fall into
line. That's the human nature of CIV
ing"
But where am to find four or FIVE
or six mem" Yale's president asked.
Il am going to show you. l will be
one OF six men to pledge In all six
hundred thousand dollars You shall
have the other pledges within two or
three days. Then, when you have
them. you viii see how quickly others
viii join the procession. and you shall
get your million within a month"
Here was a new philosophy of life
for the new president of Yale. But
he knew from Mr Borden's manner
that it was a correct philosophy.
On the day following Mr.. Borden
met Frederick W Vanderbilt. an alum
nus OF Yale. Fred" he said. I'D
like to have you be one OF the six
who are going TO contribute six hun
dred thousand dollars for Arthur Had
iey's bicentennial fund"
TT would give me the greatest
pleasure. responded Mr.. Vanderbilt
Mfr. Borden next called upon three
other graduates OF wealth. and he had
simply to repeat the request he had
made to Mr.. Vanderbilt to get their
subscriptions Then. within a few
hours. he called upon James :. Hill.
whose sons were graduates of Yale.
Il won't do Il" said Mr.. Hill. at
first
"Oh. yes. you will" was the reply:
and after some further conversation,
Mr.. Hill offered to give twenty five
thousand dollars He was told that
that wouldn't do Then he offered to
give ffty thousand dollars. but was
told that that amount also was too
small. Along in the small hours of
the morning Mr.. Hin yielded. so that
within three days the fund OF six hun
dred thousand was raised.
Take that. Arthur" said Mr.. Bor-
den the next day. and well see II I
was not correct"
The young president of Yale. going
forth with the pledges of six men for
six hundred thousand dollars. found
that 1t was even as Mr.. Borden had
said. other rich men stepped up
quickly. so that they might be In time
to Join the procession; and almost be-
fore President Hadley realized 1t
Yale's bicentennial alumni fund OF a
million dollars was secured to the last
dollar.

OF the most intimate personal friends
Of Mr.. Vanderbilt and a vicepresident
Of the Vanderbilt lines.
In order the better to understand

you. I ought to remind you" contin-
ued Mr.. Clarke. "of the manner in
which the Nickel Plate railroad was
built. 1t was promoted chiefly by

pected that the chief object Brice
and Thomas had IN promoting the rail-
road was to unload It at fat profit

lust about that time Mr.. Wander
biit was having n good deal of per
plexity on account OF the building Of
the West Shore railroad. which prac-
ucally parallels the New York Central

he was accustomed to declare that
he'd be hanged II he'd buy the West
Shore. and he'd be id II he'd buy
the Nickel Plate. Yet he bought the
Nickel Plate. almost In the twinkling
OF an eye. and I'll tell you exactly
how II happened. although n part OF
the anecdote has already been pub

by the announcement that a fund OF

VICTORY FOR RECIPROCITY,
PRESIDENT TAFT PLEASED WITH
RESULTS OF CAMPAIGN.
All Things Considered, the President
Ihinks He Has Reason to be Opti-
mistic as to Agreement.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 12.-President
Taft, much pleased with the results
OF his flying reciprocity campaign in
Ohio and Illinois, passed through
here tonight on his way back to
washington. During the day he re-
celved a number Of congratulatory
messages from different parts of the
country. There was cheering new s
from Washington, too, and TIE presi-
dent is in happy frame Of mind.
"lth his return to Washington to-
morrow the president will push the
night for the Canadian reciprocity
agreement with renewed vigor. He
mas Planned a number of important
conferences during the week and will
devote himself particularly to the Sit
uation in the senate. Mr.. Taft feels
tAat the house problem was solved
with the reporting out Of the Mccall
bill yesterday. That the house will
pass this bill without a serious
amendment-or any amendment at
all that would nullify the negotiations
OF the past six months-the president
takes as foregOne conclusion. The
president was cheered today by a re-
port from Washington that the prob
ability Of fillibuster against reciproc-
ity in the senate is lessening daily.
Mr.. Taft is confident that If a vote is
reactAd in the senate the agreement
will BE enacted into law.
The president is as sanguine that
reciprocity with Canada will prove
success as he was that practical free
trade with the PHILIPPINES would do,
He believes it would prove it's wis
dom and its worth within a year and
is anxious that it should be placed
on trial at the earliest possible date.
