uneasy troubled sleep. He did not
know whether she slumbered or
whether she had tainted again. He
did not dare to stop to find out, his
strength was almost spent; in this last
effort the strain upon his muscles
was almost as great as It had been in
the whirlpool. For the second time
that day the sweat stood out on his
forehead. his legs trembled under him.
How he made the last five hundred
feet up the steep wall to a certain
broad shelf perhaps an acre In extent
where he had built his hut among the
mountains, he never knew; but the
last remnant of his force was spent
when he finally opened the Unmatched
door with his foot, carried her in the
log hut and laid her upon the bed or
bunk built against one wall of the
cabin.
Yet the way he put her down was
characteristic of the man. That hast
vestige OF strength had served him
we'll. He did not drop her as less
thoughtful and less determined man
might have done. he laid her there as
gently and as tenderly as If she
weighed nothing, and as If he had car
ried her nowhere. So quiet and easy
was his handling of her that she ala
not wake up at once.
So soon as she was out OF his arms
he stood up and stared at her In great
alarm. which soon gave way 10 reas-
surance. She had not tainted, there
was little tinge of color in her cheek
that had rubbed up against his rougn
hunting coat; she was asleep, ner reg
ular breathing told him that sleep
was of course the very best OF medi-
cines for her, and yet she should not
be allowed to sleep until she had GOT
rid of her wet clothing and unui
something had been done TOT nef
wounded foot. It was indeed an en-
barrassing situation.
He surveyed her for a few moments
wondering how best TO begin linen
realizing the necessity for immeaia'e
action. he bent over her and woke ner

Greater
Humboldt


Organized for the purpose of develop
ing the agricultural resources OF Humboldt
Valley by conservation and use OF the
waste and unused waters.
Ten years ago, the u. S. Geological
Survey said there was sufficient water i'll
the valley to irrigate 10000 acres of land
Today, the Commissioner of Industry,
Agriculture and Irrigation says there are
only $4,000 acres of land under irri-
cation in the valley.
The profits that will return from recla-
nation OF even part of that extra land
Tor which there is water will be very large.
This is the largest and most important
irrigation project in Nevada, and about the
only large one lett in the United States not
exploited.
The returns to stockholders will be very
large, and land owners and present water
users who take stock will receive benefits
not granted under any other project.
1t is expected that every person inter
eSted in the future prosperity of Humboldt
Valley, or who wants good investment,
will take stock in this company.

instance of President Detch and
other directors, who wished tn have

INCOME TAX NEAR At HAND

The ratification by four more
states is all that is now needed to
make the income tax amendment a
part of the United States Constitu-
tioa. During the consideration of
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill the
progressives of both parties we're
on the point of putting through an
income tax law. A hasty confer
ence between the President and
Senator Aldrich. resulted in the
substitution of the Corporation
tax" provision, and compromise
by which congress passed joint
resolution proposing an income tax
amendment to the Federal comsti-
tuition. This was adopted July ~,
1909. Ratification by three
foufths of the states of the Union.
is necessary to make the proposed
amendment a part of the constitu-
ton. The recent admission of the
new States of Arizona and New
Mexico-making forty-eight state S
in the Union necessitates the con-
sent of thirty-six states.
Since the amendment was pro-
p"sed in July, 1909, every state eX-
cept Arizona and New Mexico has
had one or more opportunities to
act. So far thirty-four, two less
than the required number, have
ratified the amendment. The follow.
ing four states have by resolution
rejected the amendment: Con-
necticut, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island and Vermont.
In each of the following four
states the 1911 session of the legis-
lature failed to take any action on
the proposed amendment: Delaware
Florida, Pennsylvania and Wyo-
ming.
In the following four states the
amendment passed une house of
the legislature, but failed of pass
age in the other: Louisiana, Mime
sofa, Virginia and West Virginia.
The legislatures Of four state:
are now in session with an oppor.
tunity to pass on the amendment.
They are Ariz ma, Massachusetts,
New Je.sey and New Mexico.
Massachusetl and New Jersey
have had two previous opoortun-
tiles to pass on the amendment,
and it is doubtful if either will
adopt it at the present session.
Arizona's prog. essive Legislature
will probably adopt the amendment
promptly. New Mexico's react.
ionary legislature probably will
not act
The fact that a state Legislature
has once rejected the amendment,
or has failed so far to adopt it.
does not prevent it from ratifyinp
it at any future time. The amend
ment is before the states until thu
required number signify theft
assent. The four ratification

TOO LATE TO CLEAN UP

1t is the purpose of the republi.
cans politician to fool the people
with their smooth platform. But
they have fooled the people once
too often. They can't explain
away the increase hold the trusts
have on the country, they can't
explain why the harvester trust
and the tobacco trust and the oil
trust are doing a greater business
than ever. Their platform is
against such thing, they declared
against them four years ago, but
what happened. The republican
party will have to purge itself of
the trust representatives, of the
representatives of special interests
before it can ever make the people
believe it is sincere 1t must wash
its dirty hands in water that has
been purified and it must use dis
infectants before it can come into
the presence of the honest people
of The country with any hope Of
winning. But the republican party
can not rid itself of the political
parasites who have taken their
wealth through the party. If the
parasites were removed there would
be little left in the way of party
management. -Arizona Daily Star.
