1t is all planted. The wind is not bad when 1t blows over grain or al falfa. It is the desert dust that nags one" He coughed again. Going in?"
 Rickard said he was going in.
 Are you going to settle in the val 1ey?" The inquisitor was a man of about fifty, Rickard decided, with desert tan of apparent health. Ills face was clear cut and intelligent.
 ''I don't know
 ."Just looking the country oyerT' You might call It that"
 "Go slow" admonished his compan- ion. Don't let yourself be carried away. It Is a wonderful country. But go slow. It's the ones who expect to make millions the first year that be- come the worst knockers. Go slow, always tell them. Go slow" t 'Its not a good time to buy, then?' Mot so good as it was ten years ago! But land is cheaper than it was n year back. In some districts you can buy a good farm for ticket back home, the farmers are so discouraged. Cold feet" The slang sounded oddly somehow. The mans voice had the cultivated precision of the purist. { ..Cold feet. The rivers chilled them. The valleys losing faith in the com pany."
 i What company" inquired Rickard again.
 "There's but one company to the valley, the one that brought them here, the D. R. They don't call the railroad the company. They won't rec ognize that problem! It's had hard luck from the first, the D. R. At the very start the wrong man got hold of it. Sather, the first promoter, was a faker-a pretty thorough faker. The company reorganized, but it's been in bad odor with the public ever since.''
 Richards eyes left the deep cuts in the land made by the ravening waters and looked at his companion.
 "I thought Estrada was the original promoter" he inquired.
 "Estradas a recent comer-oh, you mean the general. He started the ball rolling; that was all. Bad health, fol lowing the Bliss complication, tied his hands"
 The man in the seat ahead was lis tening. His head was leonine, his body shriveled. Rickard could see or fhe neck the ancient burns that haC spared the magnificent head. The resI of the man had been shriveled ant . Twisted into terrible deformity. Rick ard found himself puzzling over the incident with its accompanying mir acle. There was not a scar on the powerful face.
 'Estrada's business methods were then not different from Sathers anC Hardin'sp It was a deep. rich organ
 "Oh, you can't class Hardin witt : Sather," protested Richards compan ion. "Sather used Hardin. Hardini honesty cannot be questioned. It's no moneys he's after. His whole hear Is in this reclamation scheme"
 'Hardin's a false alarm," growlet the owner of the massive head. ''H' makes promises. He never keep them"

Will Not Give Out Report
Against Howe
IMMIGRATION
BUSINESS SECRET

Commissioner Caminetti Says Howe's
Resignation Was Not Voluntary =
Some Countries Object to Receiving
Anarchists.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Secretary
of Labor Wilson yesterday declined to
transmit to the house immigration COM
mittee the report of A. w. Parker, for.
merly of the immigration service, re-
garding the administration of Frederic
c. Howe as immigration commissioner
of New York. Mr.. Wilson said that
because of the confidential nature of
the report, public policy required that
it be not made public.
, Anthony Carminetti, commissioner of
general immigration, told the commit
tee that Howe s resignation from the
service was not purely voluntary.
Discussing alleged delays in deport-
ing aliens held at Ellis Island, Mr. Car
| minetti said deportations to Germany,
Austria, Russia, Turkey and the Bal
kans had not been possible since the
ocS timing u the WAT DeCduSp Oh unset
tied conditions and lack of transporta-
ton. Another difficulty encountered,
he said, was disposition on the part
of some countries not to receive the
aliens.
Secretary Wilson personally promul-
gated the ruling that mere membership
i'll the /. w. W. did not constitute a
violation of United States laws relat-
ing to anarchy and other deportable
charges Commissioner Caminetti said !.
| 1.-THE I. ". W. constitution is SO
skillfully worded,' he declared, athat

| IS not to be construed as meaning that
/ do not believe some /. w. w. officials
preach anarchy and kindred doctrines.
| However, some additional evidence be-
sides mere membership is required be-
fore an /. W. W can be arrested and
held for deportation
/ 1.-THE constitution of the so-ealled
Russian Union of Workers, however. is
SO worded that mere membership in

OF the laws and makes the member.
