STATE DEPOSITORY BILL is
APPROVED BY GOVERNOR

Governor Hobby Of Texas on April
/ signed three bills, all Of great i'm
portance to Austin as well as the
state Of Texas at large
The most important Of these is the
state depository law. which went into
effect Immediately it was signed.
Texas Money to Draw Interest.
This measure makes ii possible for
the state Immediately to invest at
reasonable interest all the spare
funds in the treasury
The eighteen state repositories now
paying interest on Texas funds will
continue to do so until the end Of
their contract
Eight Millions Available.
But there are now some eight
millions Of idle money in the Texas
treasury that may be loaned to other
banks and kept in circulation under
the terms Of this act
Texas State Treasurer John W.
Baker has just loaned to the United
States government two millions of
Texas funds. but there are plenty
left.
Higher Interest Rates.
1t is believed the new law will
bring the state higher interest rates
than have been received in the past
and instead Of only 100000 Of the
funds drawing interest there will be
an average Of about $4,000, 900
throughout the year
Interest will be based on daily bal
ances and the banks viii bid for the
use Of the money.
Children Home Bill Signed
Governor Hobby also signed the
bill creating a home for dependent
and neglected white children.
The law makes 100000 imme-
iiately available for the erection Of
he home whose location has not been
fixed.

"No! l say yes" clipped Rickard.

CHAPTER II.
A Bit of Oratory.

Marshall threw his hat on a chair
the morning paper on his desk. Ht
aimed his burned-out cigar at the near
est cuspidor, but it fell foul, the ashe:
scattering over Sans lately secured
linoleum. Instantly there was appear
ance Of settled disorder. Marshall
emptied his pockets Of loose papers
spreading them out on his fat-toI
desk.
"Sit DOWN.
Rickard took the chair at the othel
side Of the desk.
Marshall rang q bell. Instantly the
shirt-sleeved clerk entered.
81 shall not see anyone" the chief
announced. 81 don't want to be inter
rupted. Take these to Smythe."
His eyes followed the shutting oi
the door. then turned square upoI
Rickard. II need you. It's a HI Of
a mess!"
The engineer wanted to know what
kind of a "mess" it was.
"That river. It's running away from
them. I'm going to send you down tc
stop it."
"The Coloradow exclaimed Rickard
1t was no hose to be turned, simply
off from a garden bed.
"Of course you've been following 1T
It's one Of the biggest things that's
happened in this part of the world
Too big for the men who have beer
trying to swing it. You've followed
it?"
Eyes" Queer coincidence, reading
that report just now! "T've not beer
there. But the engineering papers
used to get to me in Mexico. I've
read all the reports"
His superlor's question was unchar
acteristically superfluous. Who hat
not read with thrilled nerves of that
wild river which men had been trying
to put under work harness? Who
even among the stay-at-homes, had moi
followed the newspaper stories Of the
failure to make q meek servant anG
water carrier of the Colorado, thai
wild steed of mountain and desert
What engineer, no matter how remote
would not follow" that spectacular
struggle between men and Titans?
"Going to send me to Salton?" he
inquired. The railroad had been KEEP
jumping to keep It's feet dry. His
job to be by that inland sea which
last year had been desert!
"No. Brainerd is there. He car
manage the tracks. / am going tc
send you down to the break"
Rickard did not answer. He fell
the questioning eyes of his chief.
The break-where those Hardlns
were-how in thunder was he going
to get OFT of that, and save his skin

play of feature. "Take your time," he
said. Don't answer too hastily. Take
your time"
He was playing the fool, or worse,
before Marshall, whom he respected,
whose partisanship meant so much.
But he couldn't help it. He couldn't
tell that story-he knew that Marshall
would brush 1t aside as child's cpl.
