Saturday the piece of road the county

which Arthur Seligman of the county
road board has reasons to be enthus-
iastic. W. F. Jacobs has moved his
camp on FL Canine Real to within
two and half miles of the bridge site
at Arrey in Sierra county, and w. r.,
Smythe has crossed the Alamosa in
the same county and is nearing Gu
chillo with the good roads work. w.
F. Jacobs has gone to eastern Quay
county to locate bridge sites over the
Revlueto and to locate the Panhandle
road east of Tucumcar...
Otero county has made special
five mill levy for the road from Sac
ramento to Weed and from Alamogordo
to Las Cruces, in addition to the regu.
lar three mill levy, thus making a
total road levy of eight mills, setting
an example which it is hoped other
counties will emulate.

4 LUCKY INVENTOR
By WALTER JosEPH DELANEY.

Sorry, my friend, but you are
about ten years too late"
Then my invention is worthless?' p
inquired Ned Darrow in a tone Of the
deepest disappointment.
Il won't say that" responded the
patent attorney, striving to let down
easy the earnest manly young fellow
who was his client. "Your machine
is perfect"
Yes, cheaply and easily in eight
minutes time it will make a one
pound cake OF Ice"
But the American idea is always
q big one. They want device that
will make tons. Again. the popular
idea has been refrigeration rather
than ice making. Any family, simply
wanting quicl-to-order ice for butter
pat or the table pitcher would like
your little machine. Without re-
frigerating system added, however
they would look at 1t as sort Of
toy"
Young Darrow uttered sigh Of re.
gret He proceeded to put back In its
leather case a device about two feet
square. 1t was made up Of coils, a
glass jar, wires and tubes, a recep-
tacle for sulphuric acid and crank

tion-compact, of demonstrated util-
ity and decidedly clever BY starting
the sulphuric acid in motion by turn

lens which brought about the ruin Of
Sir James South and caused the then.
famous astronomer to quit the career
that brought him undying fame, is
today the property of Trinity college,
as the gift of Sir James. The death
Of the astronomer occurred Al years
ago today in his observatory, where
he spent his declining years, partially
blind and mentally unbalanced. Sir
James South is famed for his discov-
cries in measuring the stars, and was
made member of the royal society.
When he founded the astronomical So
ciety in 1929 the royal charter was
made out in his name. This caused
50 many disputes that South withdrew
from the society Shortly afterward
King William Nv knighted him. Then
he built an observatory and ordered
a 12-Inch lens from Paris. The work
was not successful, and South became
entangled in a suit for payment. The
award was in favor of the lens maker
and the outcome Of the controversy
was the ruin Of one Of Englands great

Almost famished and perishing from
cold and exposure, the next morning at
daybreak Ned was washed ashore. He
reused up to discern that he was on a
wild-looking, desolate stretch of coast.
He found cooling spring of water,
some edible shell fish and some fruit.
Revived and encouraged, he was about
to line the coast, hoping to come upon
some settlement, when with hideous
yells there burst from near thicket
score or more of dusky, half-naked
savages.
Ned was bound hand and foot, placed
upon litter and carried through what
suggested an interminable Jungle.
After twelve hours of steady travel
ing they reached rude native village.
It was composed of thousand or more
small mud huts and one large building
formed of logs. This was the royal
palace, 1t seemed. At least Ned was
carried within the structure, where
upon gaudy throne sat thick-lipped,
creased and painted savage.
From the hungry way in which this
rubicAnd monarch viewed him, Ned
decided that he would soon be roasted
and eaten. The curiosity and interest
Of King Obi, however, were next fixed
upon the leather case that contained
the ice-freezing device and which the
natives had brought along with their
captive.
He ordered it opened Then he be.

could do. His bonds were cut. He set
the device in position, filled the acid

Then Ned turned the crank All
hands In the royal court watched him
raptly. Their eyes bulged as at the
end of eight minutes he drew out a
pound cake of ice.
Hoo! hoo!" shouted the king, as
! the ice was handed to him, and he
dropped the unusual substance from
his fingers as though 1t were piece
of red-hot iron. Such a thing as ice
or snow had never even been heard OF
In that remote district.
But once his royal highness cooled
the drink at his side and enjoyed its
rare freshness, he virtually appointed
Ned ice purveyor to the crown as a
desirable and cherished official ap-
pendage.
Ned knew that his life was now sure

palate of King Obi. Then the sui

MAY DROP INDICTMENT

Santa Fe, Oct. 19-In the federal
court today the petit jury will be EN-
paneled. Much interest is manifested
in the motion of Assistant United
States Attorney E. G. Wade to dismiss
the Indictment for rape against Da-
macio Gallegos of Taos, on the ground
that the United States has no jurisdic-
tion. 1t is expected that Judge Pope
will at that time hand down an opinion
defining definitely the boundary be-
tween state and federal jurisdiction
over the Pueblo Indians and Pueblo
lands.
