been sold to supplement the water
rights on the old lands of the Boise
Valley under the canals of the severa!

Guiding the lands of the shareholders
of the New York Canal Co. The bal

to purchase right to the use of
additional capacity out of the

The method of prorating the ex-
penses of the detached offices at
Washington, Denver and Chicago, te
the several projects in proportion to
the total expenditures of each project,
was adopted as the most practical anil
economical method of distribution and
one giving results not differing greatly
from what would have been obtained
by keeping track of the time of each
employee devoted to each item of
work for each of the several propects.
the latter method, while possible,
would have been very expensive and
cumbersome. General administrative
work carried on in the office of the
secretary of the interior has not been

Department 81 was mems fur

AS far as superficial observation
was concerned the department had
all that any department should
have. namely, well-balanced
stock, sufficient sales help and
plenty of advertising.
Yet, with all this, the Depart

buyer and asked him what expla-
nation he had for such a condition.
For once in my life l found a
buyer without an alibi, and we
started an investigation that led to
radical changes and brought the
department up to its quota.
The first thing We found was a
bad condition of stock-keeping.
Sizes 16 were mixed in with Is and
las with IFS, and so on.
A man who was a better stock
keeper than a salesman was put in
charge Of the stock, and from that
time there were fewer want calls
for shirts coming to the research
office, and in six months the de-
partment was gaining speed like
Packard going up a steep hill.
Merchants who read this article
may have the same condition in
one or more Of their stocks. If
their graphic system and want sys-
tenn is working properly, they can
put their finger on the trouble at
once and save a lot of money and
worry.

day indicted Forrest Eaglan, the ne
gro caddy now at the District jail
awaiting the outcome of eKtradition
proceedings brought by the Maryland
authorities on a charge of attempt
to assault Miss Mary Saunders near
Chevy Chase the afternoon Of July 5.
With the indictment of Eaglan. the
case was further complicated ysteF-
day upon reports from Richmond that
another suspect said to answer the
description Of Miss Saunders assail-
ant was arrested in the Virginia
city. The local police have received
no word regarded the arerst Of the
negro.
The negro, according to reports re-
ceived from Richmond. was found in

day and during that time a number of

lice, two physicians from Georgetown
University Hospital, and a trio OF
-caddies.

". to institute new extradition pro-
ceedings based on the indictment.
Continue ExtradItIon Hearing.
Justice Bailey. OF the District su-
preme Court, continued the hearing
on Eaglan's extradition until next
Thursday. During the hearing last
week counsel TO- the negro moved to
discharge the prisoner on the ground
that the evidence did not warrant his
transfer to the Maryland authorities
for trial. TIE hearing was continued
without acting on the motion.

Contgomery county grand jury is re-
ported to have convinced the juhyI
that Eaglan was at the hone Of reIa-
tives in Laytonsville. Md, near the
scene of the attack, on July B. He

dope FIENDS" ON
Police Start Systematic Drive
to Break Up Illicit Drugs
Traffic Here.

A systematic roundup of AL per-
sons believed to be drug addiets was
started last night by the local police.
While q number OF persens. ineIud.
ing several women, are said to be un-
der observation, the police conducting
the campaign to break up the traffic
in drugs IN this city intimated today
the suspects would not be arrested
until more evidence had been gathered
against them.
II is understood, however, that I'VE
or six persons were taken into Gus
tody last night to be questioned. al
though no specific charge relating to
the Harrison narcotic act appears on
the police blotter.
Officials are reticent in speaking Of
the roundup, and Il Is Improbable that
arrests Of alleged dope hends" has
been ordered by the Internal Revenue
Bureau, since the campaign here was
under way while police and revenue
agents In Baltimore were conducting
raids on alleged "dope fiends" which
resulted in the arrest Of ten.

Nuremberg Lost s1,4OO BY Fire,


George Nuremberg, from northeast
of the city, was visitor at the indie
pendent office Saturday. About three
weeks ago, Mr.. Nuremberg had piece
of bad luck, his granary together with
all the contents burning. The loss
was about $1,40O, with no insurance.
The insurance had expired in August
and the owner had neglected renew
ing it. The fire started while Mr..
Nuremberg was grinding barley with
his gasoline engine. He left the en-
CINE running and went into the house
for moment. On his return, the
building was in flames. More than 200
bushels of wheat in the granary and
IS bushels of ground barley were de-
stroyed. A big load of wheat was
standing near the granary, to be tax
en- to market the following morning;
and this, together with the wagon,
went up in smoke. Mr.. Nuremberg
managed to crank up his Fordson
tractor and saved it. He tried to pull
the wagon away from the granary
with the tractor but the smoke drove
him back. A couple of hundred gal
Ions of gasoline and kerosene in the
granary exploded and oil was thrown
all over his clothing, but he was far
enough away so that he was not burn
ed. A large number of neighbors ar
rived in autos but could not get close
enough to the building to do any good
on account of the danger from the oil
exploding.
