"A DAMNAR.E OUTRAGE"

Congressman Galloway. member
Of the committee which has been in
vestigating complaints against the
reclamation service ana other matters
in the Salt River valley, at a dinner
at Phoenix the other night told the
settlers that a "damnable outrage"
had been committed against them. He
was referring to the heavy cost Of
the Roosevelt dam which the water
users would have to pay and which is
more than twice as much as il was
expected to be.
The expression "damnable outrage"
is rather too strong for the occasion
Only a very serious mistake was
made, but it Is such a mistake as our
paternaI government usually makes in
the carrying on of great enterprises.
1t is perhaps not on record that this
government Of the United States ever
constructed anything, even a hen
house, for any sum anywhere near
the estimated cost.
In the present case there had real
ly been no estimate It does not ap-
PEAR that any data was ever Sc
cured on which an estimate could be
based. Long before the government
vent into the irrigation business pri-
vate parties had been talking about
the Tonic dam. G7lesses ar the cost
of it ranged from 100000 to g..
100000. When the government began
guessing it started from the latter
sum and ranged as high as $500, 900
which the farmers foolishly accepted
as the maximum. But the farmers
through their Water Users sssocin
ton, contributed in large measure
10 the unpleasant surprise from which
the investigating committee is trying
TO help them recover. They agreed
10 all sorts OF frills which were not
originally contemplated and which.
though ornamental and even useful,
were not absolutely necessary. Thus
a bill of something like 100000
was run up.
1t is not to be charged that there
was waste, or extravaganza in tho
construction OF the Salt River valley
reclamation works. and knowing Mr.
Louis c. Hill as VIC DO. we know that
there was neither fraud nor corruV-
ton. The project is something to be
proud of. 1t is a monument to en-.
cheering skill and also to the enter.
prise and public spirit of the farmers
IL they do not mar the latter named
Office OF the monument by WEIGHING"
or "squcaIiag."
But one thing and onlJ one so far
as we can see, can result from The
agitation and the Investigation. That
win be the adoption of rule that

dertakessio Guild another dam Tor
vhich water users must pay, it shall
afford them an accurate estimate Gi
the cost OF 1t and hold itself and

the cost Of the dam; that before the
dam was built ami when the pros.
pect of it being built was remote.
many water right holders abandoned
their rights and consequently their
farms, as worthless and moved out OF
the country
In the intensity Of his search for
information Mr.. Galloway seems TO
have missed several important and
essential facts.

1--we STOCK AS HOME GRAIN
MARKET MAKERS.

In talking with Professor HunzlKer'
Chief of the Department of Dairy Hus-
bandry at Purdue. on the subject OF
Live Stock on the Farm, as prontaDle
market makers for the farm gram
nroducts. the Professor gave the fol.
lowing interesting table on possible
corn consumption by dairy cattle alone
in Indiana
He said: ST have not the necessary
statistics within reach to estimate
what portion of the corn crop OF our
state is consumed by dairy cattle or
that by beef cattle, but take for IN
stance. as an estimate, according 10
the United States census report for
1910. the corn crop in Indiana aver
aged 1913 bushels per acre. 1t is es-
timated that with this yield, that the
acre will produce about ten tons OF
corn silage. The average COW eats
during the year (about eight months)
six tons of corn silage, containing
about twenty-three and Dne-half bush
els of corn. The average COW posi-
bly, receives four pounds of corn meal
daily eight months of the year,
amounting to fourteen bushels OF corn.
Thus the total corn consumed per cow
in the State would average thirty-seY-,
en- and one-half bushels; as we have
$50, 900 dairy cows in Indiana, the dairy
consumption would amount to about
24,975, 900 bushels annually.
The man on the farm who is figur-
ing like any man who is engaged In
commercial pursuits must, Is no doubt
winning success as a result, and the
man who takes advantage of such a
splendid education as that afforded by
the National Dairy Show at Chicago
each year, will have laid before him
the latest result Of the work Of his
fellow men in every department of
dairying that will make for an increase
in profit from his operations.

memory, then he recalled the fight at

that he should be up and doing-for

Suddenly a shadow fell obliquely

somewhat, thrust his head In at the

MY grandfather said he never

Folks put it down to laziness, but they
misjudged him, as come out later, yet
he never let on.
Then one day he got his hands ON
a paper that had come acrost In
ship from England. All at once, he
lit on something in the paper, and he
started up and let out yell like he'd
been shot. BY gum, I'm the Earl OF
LAMBETH he says, and took out TO
the nearest tavern and got b'ilin' full.
Afterward he showed EN- the paper
and they seen with their own eyes

was his uncle; that when he left
home there was several cousins-but
they'd up and died, SO the title come
to him. He never done lick OF work
after that.
I'm an orphan man of title now
and it's been my dream to take Polly

CHAPTER XIV.
The Judge Sees a Ghost.

The Judge sees a Gn0SS.
Charley Norton's good offices did
not end when he had furnished Judge
Price with house, for Betty required
of him that he should supply that
gentleman with legal business as
well.
Thus it happened that Judge Price,
before he had been three days in
Raleigh, received a civil note from
Mr.. Norton asking him to search the
title to certain timber tract held by
one Joseph Quaid The judge, power.
fully excited, told Mahaffy he was be-
ing nSerstood and appreciated.
The immediate result of Norton's
communication had been to send the
judge up the street to the court house.
He. would show his client that he
could be punctuai and painstaking.
Entering the court house, he found
himself in narrow hall. He entered
the county clerks Office. He was al.
ready known to this official, whose
name was Saul, and he now greeted
him.
"A little matter of business brings
me here, sir" began the judge, With
a swelling chest and mellow accents.
Il am in some haste to look up title
for my client, Mr. Norton
Mr.. Saul scrambled up out OF the
depths of his chair and exerted him.
self in the judges behalf.
This is what you want, sir. Better
take the ledger to the window, the
light in here amt much" He drew
forward chair as he spoke, and the
Judge, seating himself, began to pol
ish his spectacles with great delibera-
ton.

gested Mr.. SAUL

ton that would serve to take Mr..
Saul's attention from himself, the
Judge abruptly turned his back on
the clerk and began to examine the
record before him. Insenslbly, how
ever, the cold, level tones of the voice
that was addressing itself to Mr.. Saul
quickened the beat of his pulse, the
throb of his heart, and struck back
through the years to a day from
which he reckoned time. He turned
slowly, as If In dread.
What he saw was a man verging
on sixty, lean and dark, with thin,
sharen cheeks of a blush cast above
the jaw. and a strongly aquinne pro
file. Long, black locks swept the col.
lar Of his coat, while his tall, spare
figure was habited In sleek broadelott
and spot1ess linen. For moment the
Judge seemed to struggle with doubt,
then his face went white and the boob
slipped from his fingers to the win
dow ledge.
