IRRIGATION STATES
TOMEET; GOVERNOR
CALLS 50 DELEGATES

eliminating in the combined action
of the states of Arizona, Utah ana
Idaho, the plan of Governor Campbell
of bringing the strongest measures to
bear upon the federal government for
the greatest possible support of the
many important irrigation projects in
the west has reached now collective
bargaining" stage in which a. number
of Phoenix citizens will assemble with
other similarly interested westerners
at Salt Lake City on November Il
and o.
The governor has prepared select
ed list of SO leading Arizona citizens
to attend the conference which he
states will become one of the epoch
marking events in the history OF the
western states. OF the list of 3S Ari-
zonians, more than half were reached
Saturday either directly or by tele-
phone and signified their eagerness
and intentions of accepting the honor.
The governors plan that resulted in
the coming conference, was preached
first in formal manner on August 16,
1919, at the conference of western gov
ernors in Salt Lake City that was prior
to the national conference of governors
there two days afterward. Sowing
the seed where he considered 1t would
do the greatest good and subsequently
continuing his campaign with all the
means at his command, Governor
Campbell waited for the others to take
up and follow his plans. The call for
the coming conference came today,
from Governor d. w. Davis Of Idaho,
another ardent exponent of great ir-
rigation development Governor Davis,
backed by Governor Simon Bamberger
of Utah, urges the state of Arizona to
get into this conference.

and worked for, Governor Campbell

Revolutionary StronohoIds on Manhat.
tan Island Hardly Desirable Places
Of Residence, One Would Think.

At its northern tip, yet hardly the
low, the highest part of Manhattan
rises 30 feet above tidewater. Here.
in the early days of the revolution. the
Americans had established Fort George.
This stronghold was connected by roads
with two other forts, one called Fort
Tyron in the center of the island, and
the other Fort Washington, on the
banks of the Hudson. Fort George
was built on the high rocks near the
East river, and it is from this vantage
point that one looks across through a
break in the hills to the Hudson, to the
blue-black of the Palisades on the Op-
posite Jersey shore scowling in dismal
silhouette before the majesty of the
sunsets that appear to be going on ev-
cry evening behind their backs, as 1t
were.
These three forts We're captured by
the British in 1776 and Fort George
itself was occupied by the British and
Hessians until 1888 under the name Of
Camp Laurel Hill. Recently, during a
period of excavating which was tax
ing place so that New York could build
even more apartment houses, many In
teresting relics of those earlier resi-.
dents were unearthed-muskets, coat
buttons, cooking utensils and even the
huts themselves We're discovered, one
of which was almost intact. Surely
shelter must have been an important
consideration when wintering on that
windy spot

During the war between Spain and

tenth century both those powers acted
with so much rIgOr toward ships of ev-

to belligerents that England felt COM

There was another delay with
the Customs officers, and when at
last Lady Estcourt drove out OF
Eharing Cross It was striking
eight. She had looked up the
times Of the arrivals nom Flush
ing-by which route she supposed
her husband would return-and
found that he must come either at
night OF morning If he had not
come last night she might still get
home first Surely she might hope
that he would be, at least. a little
delayed.
She sat stiIly in the hanson, her
lips compressed, her eyes fixed and
expressionless. In another minute
her fate would be decided. The
cab turned into Belgrave Square,
and the scent Of the gayly-coIored
petunias in her windcW-bOx told
her that the Nend Of her journey

haps she might 20 away and close
her eyes at last and forget al her
miserles for a little while.
She was so completely worn out
that now-no longer borne up by
the excitement Of hope the craV-
ing to lie down and sleep was
stronger than anything else. Il was
too much to expect that her hus-
band had returned and had not read

She opened the door Of her bed

chair. She must wait there for the
blow to fan; she could do no more.
She could hear him IN his dressing
room, and her eyes were hxed on
the half-Open door, waiting for him
to come through. He must see her
directly. She saw him coming, and

"At S:4O." She looked at the
station clock. 1t was now half.
past seven. She had more than
enough time. She wondered if
there were anything sne ought to
do. and an idea occurred to her.
Take my luggage to the cloak
room," she said, "and call cab"
It might be as well, she thought,
to use the time in going to her
dressmaker, as she had told Lady
Sarah she should, so that, in case
any suspicion Of her journey should
ever arise, she would have the
woman to prove that she had been
with her.

prised at seeing Lady Estcourt so
late, and also a little surprised at
her ladyship's haggard appearance
and hurried manner. AS a rule,
she was not so easy to please with

Norah looked wildly round as he
was led away. She was appalled,
by the horror Of her situation, as
helpless as a child, and, like
child, she could have sat down and
cried her heart out. She was not
accustomed to travelling alone, and
she did not know what to do. But
she reused herself for an instant.
Her honor and happlness-her
whole future Iife-weTe at stake.
She must fight for herself as she
had never fought before. The
thought Of the coming struggle was
like the touch of the spur to
thoroughbred. She forgot her
fears and weariness; she saw only
the goal ahead-safety.
The platform was almost de-
serted, but a porter stood beside
her luggage, watching her curl
ously. She beckoned to him.
What time does the boat-train
for Calais leave?" she inquired.

''HaSt Thou Found Ne, o Mine

TaERE was a fog in the Chan
mel, and when Lady Est
\ court landed at Dover in
the gray light Of early morning she
found that they were already an
hour late. The weather was thick
on shore, too, and it was not until
they were halfway to London that
the fog cleared on and the train
could proceed at its usual speed.
Fate is against me" she
moaned as she moved restlessly
about the carriage, unable to keep
still.
She had not been able to think
anything out clearly or to decide
The Washington times., 1919-08-17

II she had not been so absorbed
in her own fate she might have
wondered at the change in him. He
was a different man. The stern
ness and repression which Of late
had checked all her advances were
gone. He looked young and happy
and excited.
She had sat like a statue, but
now she breathed more freely, as
hope warmed ler back to life.
Heaven had been merciful. He had
not seen the letter. She was going
to have another chance. She tried
10 get up, with the idea Of going to
the dTessng-roOm to secure her let
ter; but she swayed unsteadily and
was forced to sit down again.
What is the matter? Are you
in?,' he asked in alarm. "You look
like a ghost. Why isn't Marie here
to look after you? What does it
all mean?"
81 have been travelling all night, "
she said, "and l have had no break
fast. l. feel a little faint, that is
all" She stopped him with his
hand on the bell. "NO, don't ring.
Fetch me a glass Of wine and bis
cult yourself. IL don't want any
one else to bother me for a few
minutes"
He was not a man to make a
fuss. and he hastened away at once.
AS soon as he was gone NOrah stag
gered to her feet and crept into the
adjoining room. Her first glance
was for the dressing-table; she
knew in what a conspicuous posi-
ton she had placed the letter. 1t
was not there!
In a panic OF tear she began to
turn over every thing, pulling open
the drawers, even turning up the
rugs on the floor, in case it might
have fallen down out of sight. But
the letter was nowhere to be seen.
She heard her husbands step out
side and had only just tims to get
back to her room before he came in.
''Now. you are not to speak until
you have had this" he said, au-
thoritatively. And she was glad OF
the little respite. 81 am very angry
with you for firing yourself out

her gowns. But Mathilde received
a liberal order and was quite ready
to accept her ladyship's eXplana-
uon that important engagements
aid not allow of her spending a
night IN Paris.
Lady Estcourt got back to the
station and took her seat in the
train. She wondered IL it would
never start, though it was punctual
TO the minute. She chafed at every
delay. Did ncG all that made her
life worth living depend on her be-
ing in time? She prayed as she
had never prayed in all her life
before, though no words passed her
lips.
"Merciful God, let me get home
frsti" she was saying over and
over again. "Show me a little pity.
l will repent in dust and ashes
but let me get home in time!"
And the train rushed on through
the night.

on any course of action. Her whole
mind was absorbed in a frantic
longing to get home before her
husband, so that she could destroy
her incriminating letter before he
had read it. When that was done
she would be able to give her at
tention to other things; she might
remember his strange behavior
and her natural anger and jealousy.
But at present she was too con-
scious Of her own danger to think
of his transgressiOns.
