 out loss of lives, but by the protection and preservation of them, you should remember that it becomes the duty of every one receiving the benefits of funds expended by the service to do his part toward securing it's return.
 Some say to us: If they expend funds for rivers and harbors and give such funds a parting goodbye, why don't they say the same for us?" But they forget the very important dis tinction that when it is expended for the betterment of harbors, the entire country, if not the world, may use them, but when expended in the rec lamation of arid lands, the beneficiary is given the land, and as such occu- pant or owner has the exclusive right to the use of such particular tract of land. The public, it is true, receives the general benefit of having all this land added to the wealth of the nation and many of us incline to the view that the government should take into consideration these general benefits received, and, accordingly, should be willing to contribute at least a part of the cost
 The difficulty, however, is to know where to draw the line, but it would seem the government should contrib ute at least part of the expenditures that inure to the general welfare of the public, without reference to any particular individual. But when we take into consideration the further feature that this is the only enterprise upon which the government is em- parked, at least as far as I know, where it furnishes the money to the people with which to supply the water so essential to the upbuilding of the homes and that it supplies this money without interest, it certainly should be deemed the taking of a very gener- ous step in the right direction on the part of the government.
 Under the 20-year extension act, it furnishes the money for the first four years at 2 per cent, the next two years at per cent, and the rest of the time at per cent. I can remember when first entered into politics away back in the year 1892, that for some years there was certain political party comprised of a considerable number of the people, that advocated the mak- ing of government loans to the farm CTS at 2 per cent The majority of the people at that time questioned the sanity of such proposed policy, yet we now find the government furnish ing money to the people without any interest, and we join in the thought that it is right in doing so. But if you want to figure upon an interest basis, we must remember that the government furnishes the money from the reclamation fund at per cent part of the time and then and then per cent, and that for an average for twenty years you pay but per cent annually.
 This reminds me of a sign placed upon his farm over in Utah by big farmer who concluded to go into the

What Is Being Done
 InReclamation Work

llIS oOOICoo, NS11FSlNO Oy
 Chief Counsel Will R. King of the United States reclama- ton service, before the Chamber of Commerce at Billings, Mont, will be of in- terest to Yuma water users.
 The speech was delivered last March, but the extracts from it furnished by Claude R. Burson of the reclamation service will be as interesting now to the water users here as they were then to the hear CTS of Judge King at Billings.
 "I realize. that you expect me to talk about irrigation
 and kindred topics, rather than that 1 should give my experiences. 1 hav2 been in reclamation work as chief counsel of the reclamation SSTT;;vcc for about eighteen months. During that time a great many changes have taken place, but when say that the reclamation service has very materially progress ed in it's work, it does not necessarily reflect upon those who have gone before, for, as all know, reclamation work in this country has merely passed through the experimental stage. That is, it is passing through the ex- perimental stage. In great undertaking like this, it re- quireS years to reach the point where the machinery may move along more easily and smoothly. Remember our first automobiles. What difficulties they had in climb precipitous mountains and ing ordinary hills: but now we find them even climbing are beginning to be attached to flying machines, all in on- 1y a short period of about Is years has this been brought about. Reclamation work is now beginning to move along with about the same rapidity
 largely due to the present eminent lsecretary's progres- sive ideas; progression, not only over the political route, but in public business way as well. After calling togeth. CT representatives from all arid states, who were and are interested in the reclamation service, and hearing their

 weaknesses of the service was the fact that it was too remote from the people who are obligated to pay the bills, that there was not enough of the human element being in-I Ijected into the service; that the people had too much diff ficulty in communicating with the people in charge and that some new and more ef- fective method of dealing with them was necessary.
 With view to remedying this, he placed the reclamation service under commission form of government" consisting of five mmissioners, each one having his own special line to look after, but who acting collective ly, should, and do, constitute the ad- ministrative body of the service. While I am a member of the legal pro- 1 fession and the chief counsel for the reclamation service, yet, as one ot the commissioners, I also have the double duty of being one of the ad ministrative officers as well. MT. IO'Donnell is in charge of irrigation and as supervisor of irrigation is re- quired to travel about looking after special matters throughout the various projects; he is at the same time one of the five administrative members of the commission, along with the chief engineer, chief counsel the comptroller, and the newly appointed chief constructionist. By this method the secretary has adopted a much better and more effective method of handling the business end of the work and at the same time get into touch ested in the work. For example, MT. O'Donnell, as supervisor of irrigation, , is going about from one project to the other, hears the complaints and there
 by becomes familiar with the weak
 points of the government work in any particular locality, especially as af- fleets the administrative end of the work, and seeks a remedy, and while
 on the ground learns where and how tO anD1v tha remedy
 For example, day before yesterday morning at our meeting at Newell South Dakota, man arose and asked why he could not get his headgate
 fixed so there would be no waste of water. MT. O'Donnell immediately di rected the project manager, who was in the audience, to "fix that headgate 2
 When he asked if there were any oth f CTS who needed headgates fixed or
 repaired, some, some one whispered
 in the audience, though it didn't get around very, far, that some of them needed their heads fixed instead oi 7 headgates but, as I said before, that
 remark did not get around very far. , Thus, as stated, the secretary, thru | his new system, has succeeded in get ting in touch with the people. We l are not flattering ourselves, however r ithat we have solved all the problems

that we want to get out in the world and
tell every Drug user to go to you for re-
lief before it is too late. The Sanatorium

We never believed that we could get re-
lief. Mr.. McCauley is sixty-six years of

Trials of Prettiness
BY ELoIsE DOWNING

Up to now I don't think I have ever
looked upon the pretty girl as a sub

know, what's more that I am entirely
prepared at the moment to alter the
opinion I have hitherto held. but a
somewhat pathetic letter has set me
thinking along new lines. for she wants
to make me believe that the lot of the
ugly girl Is cast in distinctly pleasant
places as compared with the pretty one.
admit that there is room for discus
sion. but
/ have never yet met the really
pretty girl who seemed seriously dis
tressed by the advantages Providence
has given her over her sisters. When
the men in a room make bee line to
her chair, when the fellows in the
street watch her admiringly out of the
corners of their eyes, and when peo-
pie in railway carriage fall over each
other in their anxiety to give her a
seat. she seems to bear it with re-
ma rkable fortitude.
But that, suppose. only accentuates
the heroism of her nature and her de-
termination to make the best of hard
job. It's sad indeed to reflect that she
is yearning to be plain, and longing to
cease attracting attention; but 1t must
be So for my fair correspondent as
sures me it is. M'yes.
1t reminds me, though, that I have
heard of this girlish lamentation of its
own beauty and it's alleged annoyance
at masculine admiration. I remember
