their strength gave them the choice OF
the continent of South America? why
did the Aztecs settle in the desert
when they might easily have pre-
empted the watered regions? Their
there are the Carthaginians, the TOT,
tees, the Moors. And one never for
gets Egypt"
For protection Richard gave the
sighted question an interested recog
milton. "Was that not what we were
taught at school? The forest neld
foes, animal and human. Those ma
tons grew to their strength and
power in the desert by virtue of its
isolation
Superstition p retoFted the man
with the tie. 1--WE are babes at the
breast measured by the wisdom OF the
men who settled Damascus, or com
pared with the Toltecs, or those an
cient tribes who settled in northern
India. They recognized the value of
nridty. They knew its threefold
WORTH
An inherent value?" demanded the
college-bred man, turning from the
window.
IAN inherent value" declared the
exponent Of 8rdity.
"Will you tell me just what you
meanT
mot in one session! Look yondcr.
That's BraWley. When / came through
here ten years ago / could have had
my pick of this land at % cents an
acre. They were working at this
scheme then-on paper. | was not
alive 10 the possibilities then; | had
not yet lived in Utah."
The train was slowing up by brand
new yelIow-painted station. There
were several dusty automobiles wait
Ing by the track, few faded surreys
and the inevitable country hotel bus.
The platform was swarming with
alert, vigorous faces, distinctly of the
American type.
The man in the seat beside him
asked Richard if ne observed the gem
eral average of intelligence in the
faces of the crowd below. Richard ac-
knowledged ihat he had been struck
by that, not only here but at Imperial
Junction, where lie had waited for the
train.
here is Calb in the valley, lately
started, q university club which admit,
as members those who have had at
least two years of college training
The list numbers three hundred al
ready. The first meeting was held last
week in an empty new store in lmpe-
rial. IF it had not been for the set
ting we might have been at Ann Arbor
or Palo Alto. The costumes were a
little motley, but the talk sounded like
home.
The dust blowing in through the car
doors brought on another fit of stran-
Cling. Richard turned again to the
window, to the active scene which de-
MED the presence of desert beyond.
"The doctors say it will have to be
the desert always for me-" The stran-
ger tapped his chest significantly.
But it is exile no longer-not in an
irrigated country. For the reason of
irrigation 1t is the progressive man,
the man with ideas, or the man who is
willing to take them, who comes into
this desert country. If he has not had
education it is forced upon him. l saw
it worked out in Utah. | was there
several years. Irrigation means co.
operation. That is, to me, the chief
value of aridity."
The wind, though still blowing
through the car and ruflling the train
dust, was carrying less of grit and
sand. To the nOstrils of Richard and
his new acquaintance it brought the
pleasing suggestion of grassy mead
ows, of will0w-lined streams and fra
grant fields.

Thomas Hardin of the Descent Recla-
nation Company. This Hardin had
been student under Richard and
had married Gertny Holmes, with
whom Richard had fancicd he was in
love.

North river TO embark on the Re-
nown nearly an hour before the Prince
arrived, the section Of the Pennsylvania
terminal at Jersey City, reserved for his
train had been cleared of all spectators.
Three hundred soldiers of the thirteenth
United States infantry and a band were
lined up as a guard of honour from the
track to the water line where the boats
that were to take him to New York
were waiting, the band played God
save the King" when the Prince stepped
from the train. The Prince quickly sal
uted, and kept thus while the anthem
was played A minute later when The
Spangled Banner was played he again
stood at the the salute. Major General
David E. Shalks and Brigadier General
Peter w. Davidon welcomed the Prince
in the name Of the army, while Admiral
Glennon. commanding the third naval dis
trict, was present as the representative
of the navy. Officials Of Jersey City were
amongst the welcoming committee.
There were decorations on the Pier ana
a guard of honour composed OF $50 uni
formed Jersey City policemen lending the
only touch OF colour to the occasion, the
reception at the plor was an lufor nal
one, the formal welcome OF he city OF
New York being extended at the bat
terry, where the Prince and his party were
taken in barges IF the battleship Penn
sylvania, the flagship of the Atlantic
fleet. A cheering throng greeted the
Prince of Wales as he stepped from the
barge at battery park at eleven fifteen
O'Clock. Aftera brief exchange Of greet
ings with members of the Mayors re-
cpption committee, he was driven in an
automobile through the financial district
up Broadway to he city Hall where the
forma welcome of the city wa extel ded
by Mayor Hylan. Thousands of people
were massed in the city hall Plaza, as
the Princes party drove through. The
British and American flags shared equal
ly in the decorations ovel the portals
and in the Aldermanic chamber where
the official ceremonies took place. The
police band played daring the ceremony.
