ULTIMATE ROAD TO SUCCESS
Clever Poet, With Beautiful Style and

"What's become of Kimberley"
Kimberley? I don't remember any
such chap"
ooh, yes you do. He used to be re-
garded as the ablest literary man in
this town Wrote essays, poems, his
torical monographs and that sort of
thing"
ooh, yes, yes. 1 remember him
Algernon Kimberley. Why, he's rich
and famous now. The fact that you
didn't know all about him was what
made me suppose you must be refer
ring to some other Kimberley. Yes,
Kimberley's struck it rich"
Indeed? I'm nightly glad to hear
that. A very clever chap-beautiful
style, nice touch and all that sort OF
thing. I'm surprised that l have not
heard of his success before. But
always had an idea that his greatness
would be recognized. What line has
he succeeded in? I hope it's poetry.
I think he has the true poetic spirit,
and his expression is rather original.
We need a great poet just at this
time"
Poetry? l should say not. After
he had nearly starved writing poetry
and essays and historical monographs
he went to writing baseball dope and
syndicating it. 1t went great, and
understand he's making over $500 a

NAVIGATION AND IRRIGATION.

Some people complain because
RADIO river between Yuma and
Needles, and deep water vessels no
longer run between Yuma and Quay
mas, and Yuma has lost both her
navigable river and her penitentiary
and from a seaport has become am in
land town.
But the Colorado river lis more val
liable for irrigation than for naviga-
ton. Thousands of acres north and
east of Yuma have been redeemed
from aridity by the Laguna dam and
thousands more will be redeemed by
the great siphOn from the bed OF the
river to a point lower down. A thOus-
and acres of orchard and alfalfa will
bring more business and more money
into Yuma every year than all the
stern -WheeleTS THAT ever SPARED them
selves over the sand bars, or puffed
against the whirlpools of the Colo
RADIO.
When Alexander determined ON
sending his fleet up the Tigris he
cut the earthen dams thrOWn across
the river He put the boats where
he wanted them for military purposes
but he destroyed the productiveness
of the and, and returned it to the
dosolation which has broOded there
ever since.
Now Sir William Willcocks, the
great English irrigation engineer, pro-
poses to the Turkish government
that a portion of MeSopotamia be re-
deemed from aridity to productive
ness by restoring the ancient dams
in the Tigris This will put an end
to navigation between Basrakish and
Bagdad but the water would suffice
to irrigate land ON which $37, 500, 900

THE LAW
ISAGAINST
GOVERNOR

Holding that there is no law in this
state which prohibits the transporta-
tion Of spirituous liquors from one
part OF the state to another, regard
less OF whether the territory Is wet
or "dry," Attorney-General Crawford
yesterday furnished an opinion in re-
sponse to the request OF the State
Railroad Commission for legal infor-
nation. The opinion came as a result
of the governor urging the Railroad
Commission to take up the question Of
shipments of liquor from wet to dry
territory.
Not only does the Encouragement
hold that there is no law prohibiting
such shipments, but he further holds
that the carriers, under existing laws
are compelled to accept and make
such shipments.
However, he holds that II the ship
ments Is made @. o. D. from wet to dry
territory the sale is not completed un-
til the carrier delivers the package to
the consignee and collects the pur-
chase price. If that Is done then the
carrier and It's agent become guilty Of
a violation of the local option law
through the sale OF liquor in dry ter
ritory
He states that It is not strictly the
