 Mrs. Clobbe is entitled to notable consideration in association with the development of agricultural resources ~ Ue county. When she left Bisbee where the family had resided for some years, and went to Hereford to To- cate upon land she had chosen, farm iEg was considered most doubtful occupation in that part of the coun- try figured from the standpoint of living returns.
 Mrs. CoJbe proceeded to sink a well for irrigation purposes. She secured srtesian water and with it irrigated a small part of her land Later she sunk more wells and secured nor ? water. At the present time she has six wells on her property, nest ot which is under profitable production. All of the wells flow, and there has been no dimminution iI the output as new wells have been sunk iu tbe valley.

~ nee again the pendulum swings around
" and the triangular love affair of the
lovely Katherine Elkins, daughter of
the late Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, the
Duke of the Abruzz of Italy, and Willie Hit,
of Washington, takes prominent place in the
affairs of the moment Once again is Miss Ell
kins called upon to decide whether she will re-
ward her American lover for his faithful
seven years service, or whether she will
choose to become the wife of her equally
faithful ducal lover. This romance, so grip
ping in its interest, occupies the centre of
the stage, because the American lover, per-
sistent to the last degree, has just completed
his seven years service for the girl he loves
and she must decide once for all which of
her two lovers she will marry.
The whole world looks on, for this ro
nance is known even in darkest Africa, and
wonders what the result will be now that the
last gong has sounded on Katherine EkinS
The Duke of the Abruzzi, cousin of the King
of Italy, is a lover that any girl even the most
captious American heiress, might choose. He
is no Weakling, but a keen, clever man of
affairs, noted explorer, gallant soldier
and a man of the highest character.

which extended over five consecutive years,
kept Europe on the qui vive, for never was
Duke. Since the final meeting between Miss
Elkins and the Duke, the latter has been
proffered many royal brides. He has only
recently refused the hands of the Princess
Elizabeth of Roumania, Princess Patricia of
Connaught and Princess Olga, of Russia
These refusals are said to have made clear
the Dukes intention to marry Miss Elkins or
to die bachelor. And that he means to try
his luck again is proven by the fact that he
knowns that Willie Hits seven years are up
and also because his naughty, eccentric sis
ter-in-law, the Duchess d'Aosta, who has
done more than any one else to keep him
bachelor. is leaving for South Africa to hunt
big game.
Therefore there will be no active enemy at
work in Rome to keep the Duke from again
pressing his suit, and he will once more go

tent lover in America Which will win?

whether she means to take advantage of the
two years hunting trip on which her arch

No romance of modern times has so in
terested both Europe and America as this
love affair. which concerns an indirect heir
to the throne of Italy and this most charm

Italy's throne. The whole weight of her power
has been used to keep AbruZzi from marry
ing this daughter of coal dealer" At first
she had the help of the Dowager Queen Mar
gherita, but in the end the Dowager Queen
changed her tactics and practically refused
to interfere
Just what a sinister foe to her happiness
the Duchess dAosta has been, only Miss Ell
kins knows, and she has ever refrained from
talking about the Vaccinations of any of
the royal women who would not let her be
happy.
Seven years ago. when this romance was
in its beginning, long before the public knew
anything about it, William Hit, son of the
Reynolds Hits, of Washington, added zest
to it by falling in love with the girl from
the coal fields of West Virginia. He gave the
Duke no favor, but pressed him on all sides
At that time Hit was in high favor with
Senator Elkins, who disapproved heartily of
the AbruZZi affair and who wanted an Amer
lean son-in-law. And Elkins, and his son, too,
encouraged Hit to keep everlastingly at it.
Even when the wedding date was named
In the newspapers, Willie grinned and kept
on devOting his life to Miss Elkins. Not even
the fact that the wedding cake, huge one
thousand-pound affair, had been made, turned
Seven years will | serve for you, Duke or
no Duke" said Willie to Katherine, land
, then it will be for you to say yes or no."
But the Duke, in his turn, in the beginning
gave the American lover no favor He wooed
Miss Elkins faithfully in secret from January
1906 until December 1908 when his secret
was discovered and the dogs of diplomacy
were let loose to thwart him.
1t was perhaps because he realized the part
these dogs of diplomacy would play in his
romance that Willie Hit held on so tena-
ciously. He felt it in his bones that the girl
he loved would not be permitted to marry
the Duke, and so he waited.
And will the plum fall to the man who has
played the part of the patient lover or will
the Duke, freed from the presence of his
dominating sisterinIaw, capture it?
Roman society divided as ever in two
camps, takes two views of the present Situa-
ton One is that the Duchess goes to Africa
because she has relented and means to leave
the Duke free hand. The other is that she
knows that Miss Elkins has decided to marry
Hit and so feels perfectly safe in leaving for
her two-year trip.

There is no doubt that to the average
romantic maiden, the adventurous exploits of
the Duke, his record as an Arctic explorer,
as soldier and as aviator, must strongly
appeal.
