pIeted within five more days 1t never
would be and 100000 acres of fine,
new farms would be forever lost And
when the president of the United
States asked the then president of the
Southern Pacific If the work would be
done within five days Hartman re-
piled that he had Epes Randolph on
the job and that Epes Randolph had
not yet known failure.
Epes Randolph was indeed on the
job He lay on his bed at the edge Of
the muddy flood and gave orders-thou-
sands and thousands of orders in a
single day. In the first place, the rock
and gravel had to be brought long
way, and 1t was Epes Randolph who
gave the directions under which the
hundreds Of gravel trains moved
They closed the main line of the
Southern Pacific and all its branches
to travellers; they took the engines off
freight trains up and down the lines
wherever they could find them They
sent north to San Francisco and east
to Houston and New Orleans for more
engines and for fat cars by the mile
This flood tide Of gravel traffic mas
ter mind operated with his left hand;
with his right he built the dam.
Before his car moved back to Tucson
again he got out of bed and went out
upon the work. Out toward the end Of
the embankment, steadily advancing
across the path of the truant river, a
group of men We're struggling with q
fine new steel car that had become
derailed at the end of the temporary
track
How long have you been trying to
save that carr" asked Randolph.
Twelve minutes" replied the fore
man.
Let it 60" came the order from the
chief. Twelve minutes time on this
job is worth more than hundred
cars"
And so the ear went down under
some thousands of tons of rock and
gravel that went to hold back the
mighty Colorado from the haven that
1t coveted. Metropolitan Magazine

Unions and Good Times.

The trade union movement is one of
the strong elements in industrial life
that is continuously promotive of good
times. We win not permit any reduc-
ton of wages even though industry Is
slack. for the reason that every wage
reduction is followed by falling off
of the power Of consumption and con
sequently must accenruate the depres-
sion rather than help to remove it.

GOVERNOR PAROLES
 GIRL AT FLAT TOP
17-Year-Old Girl Released From Prison Where 400
 Males Are Confined

Montgomery, July 29.--(Special )-What Is considered as one of the most revolting conditions ever existing in Alabama pris- on history was brought to light yesterday when the governor issued parole to Exie D. Hartley, 17-year-old white girl, Flat Top mines in Jefferson county on a charge of vagrancy. The girl was con- victed in Cherokee county and has been incarcerated at Flat Top mines, where there are more than 400 white and negro male prisoners and no other woman
 pr. J. M. Austin, physician-inspector of the state convict board. in a letter to the governor, declared that the incarce- ration of the white girl at the Flat Top camp Is disgrace and that she should be removed to the Alabama Home of Refuge at East Lake or to the woman's prison at Speigners.
 Because of the fact that the girl is a county convict however the transfer to some other place is impossible hence the governor paroled her conditional upon her future good conduct
 The physician inspector informs ma that the girl is moral pervert, but that she has Anglo-Saxon blood in her veins and that he cannot conceive that any court or Jury would take young white girl, no matter how serious her offense. and sentence her to mining camp where there are 400 men and no women'' said the governor in a statement issued with the parole. This case shows that leeis- lauon In reference to the care of county and city convicts is necessary"
