the blow. He brandished club heavy

agone Woods had been proud of the
splendid steed that had done double
duty, and, therefore, had worn out the
more quickly.
"Shame!" piped a prompt, express

ed down the road to get away from
further torment, Jasper Woods glared
at the source of the denunciation.

PRESS MAN SEES BIG
GARNET MESA siPHoN

Recently the editor The Press in
company with Project Manager Fred
d Pyle, went on spin down over
the new works on North Mesa and fur
Gunnison river above Delta. 1t is quite
wonderful the amount of work that
was accomplished last year in the mat
ter of building new canals or enlarg-
ing old ones on the east side of the
valley to cover the greater part of
the land on the right hand side of the
Uncompahgre valley.
The enlargement of the Selig canal,
which has its source at river bridge
three miles north of town at the farm
home of Chas. Weatherwax on the
Jessie Bell road. In building sub
stantial headgate for this big canal
the government has put In some per-
manent improvement work that will be
of immense benefit to the county in
the protection of the bridge. The river
at this point has always been obstre-
porous and was won't to change its
channel every time. there was half a
chance, but 1t looks now like the chan
mel was there for keeps.
The enlarged canal is a monster

He should have been merciful, for
life had brought him a full com
petence in wealth. He should have
been happy. for he had a contented
wife and a pretty, prattling little
daughter who had come to bless them
after four preceding children had died.
But Jasper Woods had become
avaricious. He had found a way OF
putting out his money at high rates OF
interest. He had sought opportuni-
ties to close out unfortunate creditors
The lust Of gold had taken possession
Of him. In the case of the father OF
little Benny he had a mortgage on the
poor Tascott homestead. Mr.. Tascott
had become Ill, there was no one to
attend to the produce raised. and al.
ready the money grabber saw himself
in possession of the goodly acres rep.
resenting a value five times in excess
OF the loan granted.
It was piece of his grasping,
changing nature that he had turned
Firebrand out to die, now that he was
of no more use. But Firebrand had
found a loyal friend. and Benny rode
into the home farmyard proud and ex-
cited.
He's mine!" he crowed delightedly

why, where did you get him?" and
Benny told. The mothers face cloud

man who held their destinies within
his grasp.

SIPHoN 5000 FEET LONG
COSTING MORE THAN $4,000.
This siphon. which was but recent
ly completed. is over 5000 feet in
length and has cost approximately
s22, 900. 1t starts from a point on a
mesa east of Garnet. is carried down
across a nice valley and then rises to
the highest point on Garnet.
The siphon is built of Oregon pine
slaves two inches in thickness and SC
pipe about six inches apart. The siphon
is 80 in. in the clear inside. 1t was
laid in the ground four feet and as 1t
was put together 1t was painted with
three coats of creosote, that 1t should
last great many years. At the low
est point in the pipe line a drain was
put in SO that the water could all be
removed during the winter.
Before 1t was covered with dirt the
entire line was tested by turning
head OF water through the pipe line
and discharging 1t on Garnet mesa.
the test covering several hours. II
proved to be satisfactory to the gov
ernment engineers and the work was
accepted, so that in the spring the
parties on upper Garnet mesa who
have been holding the land for a num-
ber of years in the hope that this area
would be brought under the project
will be able to secure water and COM
mence the tilling OF the soil.
That's a great section down in that
part OF the valley-well, it's just as
great in all portions of the Uncom-
pahgre valley. but when one can sit
in the car. as we did. and count 43
stacks OF hay and grain In one field
lust above the line of this siphon, one
begins to have some idea OF what he
will discern when the whole valley Is
under water. There did not seem to
be any end to the depth OF the soil
and of its fertility-well, ther's no use
to talk about that, for we all know
about 1t.
We swung around across the valley
and came up over California mesa,
which is another garden spot for
farms. We. stopped at the under end
of this mesa where force OF workmen
and teams were repairing the damage
done by a cloudburst last summer. The
,vatar ennuf haDDened I'm in the hills
three or four miles distant and the
surplus water came down Big Sandy
Draw. Previously there was small
sandy ravine across the valley In some
nIaces a few feet deep and several
feet wide, but when this great volume
of water swept down. 1t plowed out
a gully 20 feet deep In many places
and so feet wide. Where 1t crossed
the Montrose and Delta canal there
had been small spillway, but this
was insufficient to carry off the water,
40 IL cut out the banks of the canal
for so or rs feet and piled the canal
fill of sand for quarter OF mile.
The damage was repaired temper
arily in order not to deprive the farm
ers OF irrigation water, and during
the fall, when the canal water could
be shut off, the farmers were set to
work to make what is hoped Will be
a permanent repair and at the same
time handle the flow from even any

Many years ago R. G. Tonkin

vicinity and when he asked for the
notary fee of fifty cents the man
positively refused to pay it, having
apparently got it into his head that
it was not just demand. But late

that perhaps he was wrong in not
paying the fee and he recently sent
Mr.. Tonkin one dollar to square the
