SHE PICKED THE WRONG MAN
Woman With Prominent Jaw Did No:
Get the Seat She SO EVi-
IDENTIFY Desired.

She had a jaw that somehow re-
minded one Of the cowcatcher on 10.
comotive-perhaps because It was al.
ways somewhat in advance of her
countenance. Also there was a look
Of determination in her eyes, and II
was evident from the manner In
which she elbowed other passengers
aside. that she had no desire to be re-
garded as a shrinking violet. Yet she
was rather good looking, and she was
dressed in such a manner as to indi-
cate that she was free from the ne
cessity of practicing economy. After
she had fought her way into the car
she looked at the men who were oc-
cupying seats and then stationed her
self IN front Of a smallish, gray-haired
gentleman whose expression was kind
and even lamblike.
The woman engaged his attention
by kicking his toes. He. curled his feet
back under the seat and continued to
read his paper. Then she "hemmed"
loudly and bumped against his knees
He looked up at her, INDUCED in a
sigh of WEAKNESS and tried to make
room for her by crowding closely to
the woman who sat at the left of him.
She declined to bulge, however, and
the old gentleman again turned his
attention to his paper.
Exasperated by such ungallant be-
navior on his part, the woman with
the decisive jaw said in tones that in
no wise suggested the haunting mel
ody OF a tinkling brook:
Il suppose I'll have to stand all the
way home. I've heard Of men who
had the decency to get up when the
cars were crowded, but guess they're
all dead"

mildly remarked, 81 would give you

THE EXPLOITATION OF THE.
FAMOUS P!UTE VALLEY


The Piute valley. of viii ch
Searchlight is on the western edge
and well toward the northern end
contains great expanse Of open
government land. The best
portion is probably 10 by Is miles
in extent. The soil is good with
freedom from alkali. The eleva-
ton gradually rises from about
$500 feet at the lower end to
100. feet.
The average rainfall at Search
light, according to local rain
gauge, is around 16 inches. There
is a much greater fall at Timber
mountain. which marks the north
west corner of this valley. This is
evidenced by the good stand of
timber, the source of this camps
fuel supply in the way of cord
wood.
The question of a water supply
is yet to be figured out. There
are springs at intervals ON the
borders. Twenty miles below
Searcblight strong dyke forma-
ton appears to cut across the
valley. This might have bearing
in creating a subterranean water
basin
The Barnwell branch of the Santa
Fee railroad of which this place is
the terminus, crosses the best
portion of this valley about mid.
way.
The matter of developing this
valley determining the water
supply and of the addptability OF
the soil with respect tn crops-is
one that a corporation with con.
siderable capital can best handle
at the outset. The publicity given
this matter at this time is with g
view of attracting the attention OF
suitable capital and talent
