WORKS WELL
 SOMETIMES
Government Ownership of Almost Everything Is a Success at Elephant Butte Where the Conditions Are Peculiar.

Though not accepting government ownership as general theory of practical government. most people ad- init that it is a fine thing in some instances. It is in a sense the per- 1ectlon of the cooperative idea which obtains SD largely between the gov ernment and the people in the rec ldination service and the work if is doing, and there is probably no bet Ter example in this country Of com plete government ownership on q small scale than at the Elephant Butte dam. on the Rio Grande prof ect. The facts were learned of Su- pervising Engineer Hill. who was here few days ago
 At Elephant Butte the government is doing the construction work under the direction of its own engineers. in stead Of supervising contractors In that however. it is not unlike some of the other projects. but in addition the government owns and runs the whole town in business way About the only private enterprise in the place is a barber shop and possibly one or two similar small institutions Whether private individuals are de- nied the privilege of opening stores restaurants and similar business places was not learned. but probably not. No restraining order is necessary. how ever. for the government effectuaIly keeps out private enterprise by doing everything itself and in a way that defies competition.
 There are about $50 men employed on the work. representing a popula- tion of 1.j00 men, women and chill dren. To serve their needs the gov ernment maintains a store. where one may buy anything from a paper of needles to a load of hay Mir. Hill says that if there is anything a pa tron wants and the store don't carry it. it will be ordered at once and kept in stock thereafter. That gives the patrons Of the store better stock to select from than any private mer- chant can afford to carry.
 But the best part of it is that everything is sold practically at cost. The establishment is run by expe- rienced and capable men who figure carefully on the expense of handling the merchandise and who buy closely at wholesale. retailing the goods at a price just enough above cost to cover the expense of handling and the natu- ral waste and deterioration in stock. The result is that goods are supplied to patrons at the dam site at lower rates than they can he bought in any of the stores in the nearest towns. and in most instances cheaper than they can be bought in Fl Paso.

as it asccndcd and died away was in- tcrrupted by the husky clearing of the voice by the old man, and he began his Indian Christmas story: "I had deflected from my com panions the evening before as We ascended the mountain. and made a camp all by myself. but the others had born to the right. crossed a hogbackcd ridge and went down into the hollcr from where I was clean out of sight News from the north end of the range was had before making our venture that there were no Indians off the government res ervation and not likely to be. for it was in the month of December. and the redskins preferred the warmth of good fire rather than breast the rigors of winter by going out for game or the pleasure of scalping a palcface

 "I had been in my camp for some tine without having seen a living SD and the only company l had " $ wild game of which the woods was full. and l kept my provender filled with deer. bear and antelope meats. to the extent of my desire I would take my gun and go along the side of the mountain to avoid going up or coming down. and a little ways from my shanty ard come back load

 During the fine spell of weather that succeeded my arrival in the mountains. enjoyed myself pros pecting as much as in the killing of game While the fine weather was in commission l found the mineral belt. It was loudly and definitely oXidiZed iron in porphyry. lime and clay the prettiest I had seen in a long time. Then I found the vein in lime and DOT phyry. and | located and monumented three claims. and the vein was con timuous and well defined through them all A few shots on the vein broke cuts some rich looking rock. which took to camp anl stored away to take over and show to the boys as soon as got really tn go over where they were.
 They could hear my shots, for the formation got awfully hard at a depth of only about eight feet. and the blasts would crack like shot from d 12- pCunder of a cold. frosty morning.
 But the time finally evoluted around when I decided to get my cayuse and take my specimens and ride over and show and tell the boys what I had. My Cayuse did not have to go very far away from my camp to get all to eat that he wanted. consequently I did not have to go very far to fetch him in. The grass is always good up in the mountains.
 ''I started and rode in silence 'cep- ticn, my mounts feet making loud noise striking the rock with it's iron shoes. The trail passed through a rocky gully. going up the hogbacked ridge. flanked on each side by rough banks covered with huge boulders.
 Tn this meditative mood there came a startling interruption to my day dream The interruption was in the nature of a chorus of ear-splitting de- moniacal wells, As my cayuse suddenly

fact many small dealers throughout the country would be glad fo buy of the government store at its retail
 rates. This is one of the things that has to be guarded against. for it is not the purpose of the government to
 aid any private dealer in his compe- ton, nor for that matter to invade any other field. IL merely wants to serve its employees. that good help may be had all the time at reason able prices. making the construction cost of the dam as small as possible
 Asked why this entering Of the com mercial field was decided upon. Mir
 Hill said it was merely protection of the men working on the project. The experience gained during the con- Struction of the Roosevelt and other projects was that when the supplying of the needs Of the workmen was left to private enterprise the business men simply preyed upon their patrons, not that they did anything unlawful orI unnatural. but the conditions made it the natural thing to do. There was no town there before the government work and would be little or none after the government work. Those who started stores naturally expected to make their money quickly and get out again. The result was that they carried the smallest stocks possible and charged the highest prices pos sible to men who actually had to pat ronize them. In Roosevelt, for in- stance. many maintained big stores for a time and made lots of money. but inst as soon as the work neared completion they sold out their stocks, or let them run down to the lowest point possible. and before the work was finished they cleared out entirely and the hundred or so workmen left could not buy what they wanted To- caIly. at any price.
 As soon as the work hears comple- ton on the Elephant Butte. or any other project similarly administered. tba government stock will of course he reduced. but an effort will be made to have always on hand whatever the workmen left may need.

AT TELEGRAPHER
Mysterious Foe Of Harrington
Man Attacks Him at
Night

HARRINGTON, Del. Nov. 25.-Much
mystery surrounds two evident at
tempts to shoot l.. NJ. Baird, manager
OF the Western Union telegraph office
here, within the past forty-eight hours.
Friday evening, about 7.30, Baird was
sitting in his Office alone, reading a
paper, when a bullet came through the
back window, passing over mis- shout
der and through the newspaper and
lodging in the wall. Baird and a few
friends quickly ran through the alley
in hopes Of apprehending the assail-
ant but failed.
Saturday evening, while Baird was
in the Office talking with friends about
the shooting. another bullet came
through the same window, striking the
beck Of his chair, Baird. although
copying a telegram at the time, opened
the circuit and with his companions,
endeavored TO catch the wOuld-be muir
derer, who was seen crossing the rail-
road about 500 Yards away, but he
quickly disappeared among the mills
