of the many that have greeted me, was
that of being present at the testing Of
our first well developed on our tract
at Spaldlng. I had never seen one Of
those power pumped wells, and when
the belt and huge tractor engine was
attached to the powerful pump, and
soon saw the great pipe fill and the
mighty column of water come gushing
from Its deep reservoir, telling the
story of, the subterranean, living
stream and bearing its message of
blessing to the rich alluvial deposit on
the surface, could not repress a feel
ing Of wonder of the good fortune that
mas come to this favored valley.

1.-THE character of the improvements
that are being introduced in the well
development at Spalding by general
manager E. II. Bickford, are of the
highest class known of such cOnstruc-

on the introduction into this enterprise
OF something different and something
a little better, I think, than has been
employed heretofore"

1t now only remains to carry out the

have never engaged in the sale of gold
bricks and we do not intend to begin
now, but If present indications con-

surprises to announce that should re-

fant step thus far toward the operation
of the Panama canal took place yester-
day. when the seA-Poing tug Gatun,
drawing y II feet OF water, was passed

officials generally.
The massive 500 ton levers of the
lock gates performed their functions
perfectly. working with the, precision
and nicely of a well oiled day. There

trusted messenger in the Leavenworth
bank. During his life in Kansas he
learned the trade of refnisher.
From Leavenworth he moved to
Omaha and for a number of years
served in the fire department of that
city.
Mr.. Harding came to Minneapolis
fourteen years ago. For a long time
he was in the employ of the Cooper
ative Bowling Alley Co., where his
trade of refinishing came in good
play. He was appointed to the police
force by Mayor Haynes in 1906 and
has served continuously since.

present chief executive, appointed Mr..
Harding to the detective force
AS patrolman Mr.. Harding &C,
cepted number of opportunities to
show his mettle. On at least two oc.
casions the newspapers of the city
gave wide publicity to his capture of
notorious law breakers.
Mr.. Harding possesses three funda-
mental qualifications which enter into
the making of good detective officer:
personal courage of high order; the
determination to do his duty under
any and all circumstances, and the
desire to be ION the square,"
Mr.. Harding has the confidence and
respect of the best citizens of his city,
irrespective of color. He makes no
compromise with criminals. Those
members of his own race with whom
his duties are most concerned, who
are numbered with this undesirable
class, are learning to give Minneapo-
lis wide berth. Under civil service,
which now prevails, Mr.. Harding may
be expected to keep his position in
definitely and to increase the reputa-
ton he has already gained as an hon
est and fearless official.

The fundamental idea has been to
create home for mentor men with

the ideal home includes cleanly sur
roundings, bodily comforts and at

embody in it's every nook and corner.
This home idea has been carried
