unconsciously, keeping his body and
mind in tune by a system of athletics

effective as to surpass any of those

to suppose that his mind Is in a con

life quickly and accurately.
The theory that the boy who works
with his hands out of school is apt
to excel with his head in school has
been proven so often that it would
seem to be almost if not quite an ex-
act science, and it only remains for
someone to so formulate the kind and
amount of physical work to be done
to raise the average efficiency Of all
the pupils In our schools, and the
fact that just so far as the practical

and varied bodily exercise count for
anything.
Hoeing and digging around the
trees brings into action many muscles
by reason of the various positions
required to do the work properly.
And then comes the pruning and pick
ing the fruit. Anyone of experience
knows that to prune a tree or pick
fruit requires an education of the eye,
the hands and arms and also of the
legs that only practice will bring,
and which in its degree of experiences
determines the value Of the individ-
ual in doing that work.
While work Is work and play is
play, according to the standpoint of
the individual, the fact remains that
intense enjoyment may be found In
many lines of work, and there is no
reason why the work of the boy or
man in the country should not equal
or exceed in enjoyment that of any
other person regardless of occupa-
ton.
The credit that the boy from the
country is often given when attending
city schools and colleges may after
all be easily accounted for by his
environment.

ASK BIDS FOR
80 MILES Of
BIG CANAL
Engineers Coming TO Have
Charge Of Excavation Of
100000 Cubic Yards.
FROM PAlISADE TO FRUITA

IT HERE is to be an enlarged ac-
tyity in Reclamation circles
within the next three months
which will add materially TO the
prosperity of the valley in its entire
length. Project Engineer Miner is
preparing the plans and specifica-
tions for advertising for bids on the
construction of thirty miles OF the
big ditch. and this will mean the NOV
ing OF one and n half million cubic
yards OF Mother Earth. extending
from Palisade ON the east to a point
northwest OF Fruita on the west The
work will be done in two divisions.
Division No. will be In charge OF
Engineer John c.. Cleghorn. who ar
rived in the city last Saturday with
his family; he has been connected as
assistant engineer with the Lost
River" division OF the klamath
Falls project, very difficult bit OF
work extending over seven miles.
Division No. will be In charge of
Engineer Fred ]. B1rnes, who is now
on his way to the city with his fam
lily. He comes from the Belle
Fourche project in South Dakota,
where he was in charge of division.
Engineer Miner says that every
thing will be In readiness for the
opening Of bids by the first of May.
and that dirtsou ght to- begin to- move
soou thereafter he is receiving re-
quests for information daily from
large contractors and asking for de-
tails. There will be no trouble In
getting plenty of workers to push the
canal along TO completion as fast as
the money is available. Those who
have been pessimistic as to the final
,l.,tf ne do n L N ~
can now come over to the ranks OF
the optimistic and begin to boost for
the right kind of settlers under the
canal
The completion OF this project
means that there will never be an
other canal in this valley and the on
" other lands which can come under
irrigation must be those which can be
reached only by pumping plants from
the main canal.
The Issue of the Christian Science
Monitor of the 10Th contains col
umn article descriptive of the Grand
valley 10 connection with the work on
the High Line canal and includes a
half-tone of large orchard. The
plan is to do a good deal of news
paper advertising in the east and to
have 1t done on carefully arranged
plans that will give prospective set
tiers an exact idea OF what can be
done here. They will be told that it
is necessary to have little cash to
carry them through the first few
years, and there will be no boom
figures or facts given. The article
above noted was from the pen of
Bentley McMullin. son of S. G. Nc
Mullin, who is attending college at
the University of Colorado at Boul-

has been entirely cleared up and the
information furnished The Sentinel
today by old-time residents of Fruita
indicate that at no time has there
been very coed cause to suppose that
the remains We're those of Il murder
ed man.
The mystery is entirely cleared by
these old-timers. However. Il very
interesting tale is connected with the
grewsome relics of n long gone man.
Some thirty years ago man nam
ed J. ]. Crilly and a companion ap-
peared ut the townsite of Fruita af-
ter having spent some time prospect
ing for minerals on the Grand mesa.
They wanted to get into the noun
tains southwest OF Fruita to prospect.
There was only small settlement at
Fruita in those days, in fact it was Il
very crude camp or outpost. These
men camped on the river bank near
where the town now stands. 1t was
winter time. They determined to
push on to the mountains. They em-
pioyed Steve Nichols, now dead. to
ferry them over the Grand river. The
water was quite high. The men had
several heavily ladcned hurros along
The party started across the river.
The burros got to struggling; Crilly
jumped out of the wagon into the
water to help the burros. He lost his
bearings, got into deep waters and
was drowned. His partner pushed on
across the river. with the. burros and
did not remain to help recover the
body Of his associate. He pushed on
into the mountains and was never
heard of or from again.
The next day the body of Crilly
was recovered. A valise with his
private papers was located. II was
aseertainea that he was formerly a
school teacher In iowa. Whether he
had any family was never known.
There was no cemetery in Fruita
IN those pioneer days. Tho body was
placed in a crude coffin and buried
on vacant plot of land. Afterwards
this land became the ranch of A. ].
Ditlinger. The body was buried at a
point near the old Independent ditch.
About seven years ago Mr.. Ditlinger
wanted the body removed from his
ranch Squire Lane and William
Porter exhumed the remains. They
expected to find nothing but bones
as the burial had occurred over 90
years before. However, the body
was found to be in a better state of
preservation than they expected.
They crowded It into the small box
and buried ii in corner of the cem-
etery. Now 1t has been dug up again
and owing to the fact that man s
skeleton was found in a small box
some people not aware of the facts at
once concluded that a murder had
been done. Such was not the case.
Thus vanishes another mystery.

Jack Miller, Alex and Charles

1t is not expected that many of them

tempt will be made by Mexican reb-
els to establish that William s. Ben
ton. who was recently executed, was
n Mexican citizen. based on the report
that he once held minor office while

This statement was made today by
Frederic Gonzales Cara, but rela-
tives say that deeds to his property
refer to him as a British subject.
The finding in California of Roger

his companion. Curtis, is also safe in
the United States. No trace of Harry
Compton. an American, has been
found.
Villa received kilograms from many
