.Good; the Instrument is yours"

SooNs VIC h'oli Souio.
That was the first step and the next
step came very shortly after, when.
having further demonstrated his ca
pacity in other ways, Meade was CIV
en- charge of the work on the east end
Of the dam.
II don't care who he is" said Van
deventer to his chief subordinate, 'he
knows what he's about, and If you
watch him you'll see. He's keen on
handling men. The other section fore
men will be hard put to keep up with
him. He keeps watch on himself. He's
got some secret he won't betray. He
doesn't minge with the crowd, but
every once in a while something slips
out. What he doesn't know about en-
cheering nobody needs to know, I'll
wager"
"How do you account for his being
out hcre?"
ooh, it's the Old story, I suppose !;
he's come crOpper somewhere
down and out and wants to begin
again, and can't do anything but this.
It's not our business, Stafford: he does
good work for lis and we're satisfied"
The Arvada enterprise. (Arvada, Colo.) 1908-1970, 1917-06-07

charge of some special work, that
him in any emergency. He actually
found himself consulting Meade on
occasion.
He kpd accompanied the younger
man on one Of those rambles which he
had hitherto taken alone. He had not
broken down Meade's reserve. but he
had won his admiration and regard.
Vandeventer was not unknown in en-
cheering circles. In earthwork he
was by way of being an authority.
His experience had been varied and
extensive. Meade's reserve and reti-
cence rather hurt the older engineer.
He had invited confidence and had
even given his affection. He intimat.
ed dellcately that IL the other were
under a cloud Handkerchief might be
in position to help him.
It was fortunate for Meade's pur-
that most Of his engineering work had
been done abroad and that he had
been out OF touch with American en-
cheering for practically the whole Of
his career. Nandeventer was Iinr-
ward man, too, and that made 1t espc-
cially hard for Meade to keep from
betraying himself. AS matter Of
fact, the younger man actually longed
to make a clean breast It, but he
could not quite bring himself to do 1t
yet. That might come later.
Three months ought to see the com.
pletion Of the dam and the long canal,
which vnS to carry the stored water
TO the irrigation bitches below. Van
deyentcr was already making plans
for another big job, and he had de-
cidcd. in his own mind. that among the
subortllnatcs whom he would take
with him the newcomer should have
the first chance. Vnndeventcr felt
proud and satisfied when he surveyed
the work that had been accomplished
in the six months OF lnbor. To be sure
the delay in the completion OF the
spIllway dlsQuleted him little.
The dam had reached the spiliway
level fortnight before. and had now
passed II. Indeed. on The fifth OF Jan.
uary the dam builders were within
five feet OF the top: that Is. the crest
of the dam was 100 feet above the
level Of the valley. They I'D planned

The work on the dam was progress
ing splendidly. Vandev.nter, driving
his men hard, shared in all their furi-
Gus efforts. He was not only their
leader, but their inspiration. He had
surrounded himself with n body Of
able assistants. and his transfers and
workmen had been culled until they
had become n small army Of picked
men of which to be proud.
Among all these Meade stood very
high. in the four months he had been
with Nandeventer he had shown such
handle men, in one or two instances
when, with intention to try him, the
resident engineer had given him

would give him ample time to COM
plete the dam and the spillway. This
year, however, there had been some
very unusual rains during the fall and
the water back of the dam was nov SO
feet deep, which made it % feet below
the level to which the dam had risen
and 20 feet below the spillway. This
was much more water than anyone
had dreamed would be in the reser-
more than should have been allowed.
Still there was safety margin Of
% feet, which Vandeyenter was sure
would be ample. The financial promo
tiers Of the project were very anxious
to have the reservoir full when the
irrgatng season opened. and the en-
gineer's judgment had been influenced
by their eagerness to get it working
The broad sheet of water ran back
into the valley for many miles. In
fact, the dam had transformed the
country into beautiful lake. Some.
times it rained in the mountains when
it did not rain down In the valley,
anu th'iS was a SOAStuul, IL very
small, rise in the level. Vandeventer
personally carefully gagged the water
every day. Naturally he had noted
that it rose gradually, but as the dam
rose proportionately more rapidly, he
was not uneasy. Yet, as good en-.
ginccr, he was watchful and largely
because of the unfinished spillway he
urged the men to the very limit.
The weatherwise from the town
who sometimes rode up to inspect the
work, assured Vandeventer that i,
could not possibly rain before March
and the mere fact that so much water
had fallen rendered it more improb.

lanai PLAYERS
AID RED CROSS

Not all clever people are able to put
their talents to such worthy advantage
as Mrs. Roger Burnham, who has or.
ganized the Lanai Players (may they
he long with usl and who is skilfully
directing series Of plays to be pro-
duced during the year for the material
welfare of the Red Cross. We cannot
always do ''our Bit under pleasant
circumstances, but We can enjoy the
Lanai Players as much as We like,
knowing that the price of our ticket
swells the funds Of the Red Cross. The
work of Mrs. Durham Is truly patri-
otto work. for in these trying times
she furnishes US with most refreshing
laughs, while at the same time we
feel we are patriotic in giving our
money to this wonderful work. Mrs.
Burnham receives no compensation
for her work, and she truly gives most
Of her days to drilling the cast, be-
sides the hundred other things to be
thought of incidental to theatrical
work. None OF the players receive a
salary, and Mrs. Burnham has used
great discretion in her choice of plays
SO that the scenery and costumes do
not run into money The players
have been furnishing their own cos
tunes, as the management has been
jealously guarding its hoard, endeav-
oring to give all possible to the Red
Cross. With SO many willing helpers,
Mrs. Burnham promises to be very
successful, and. all Honolulu lovers OF
the drama can go to enjoy the plays
with free conscience, knowing that
the money Is well spent.
The second appearance Of the Lanai
Players will be on Thursday evening,
November 5, when a series of three
playlets will comprise the bill This.
performance will be repeated the two.
following evenings, on November Q
and November 10.

purpose in going into the production
of ice cream was mainly for the pur-
pose OF providing an outlet for our

time as already mentioned had to be
churned at a considerable loss. This
venture has been successful and the
business has grown to such proportion
that il is taking care Of ali our sur

parable. We are delivering 1t at such
a narrow margin that we are unable
to maintain Ene delivery equipment
which we would like to have and which
many mainlan cities have and which
would please our customers. With
the present high prices of almost all
materials which we must go into the
market and buy in order to operate
our plant and deliver milk, the mar

increased. ~ .~."..
THE main causes for the rise in

More than onethird of the increase
in the present enrolment in the pub.

over the enrolment last June is made
up OF Japanese boys and girls, accord
ing to figures made public by the de-

1886 Japanese were enrolled.
Figures compiled by the department
