see what a storage reservoir means
to develop a country. They would

stand still and positively refused to
bulge an inch. This caused all
sorts of grief but as they were near
the Roe ranch they got supper and
il was u O'Clock before relief came,
then it was in the form of Walter
Shimp's span of 4 year cid colts
and buggy with which he towed the
car and occupants safely 20 Pay
