After being marooned several
days at his home out Mount Pleas
ant way, GEORGE A. HEANEY,
probation officer at the Police
Court, is ION his job" again. The
cause of his detention at home, he

DESERT BEGINS TO BLOOM
Cultivation Has Already Begun in Spot
Where All Was 9are a Short
Time Ago.

Travellers through the Great
American desert find great enjoy
ment and added attraction when they
come across Aocks Of wild horses. As
the horses notice the motorist they
pause for a moment, with heads up,
names unkempt, and tails blowing in
the wind, and then tear off to the
north, with the cattle, less wild, that
are grazing in the desert, tagging be-
hind them.
1t is said that that is the free life
of the horse. He is racing off not
because he is afraid, but because he
is free. While the motorist enjoys
the desert, and has these horses for
all added attraction, there are indi-
cations that the wild wanderers will
soon give way before civilization. Al
ready there are the first indications
that this desert will some day bud
and blossom as the rose. Even at
Blue Eagle. where there is a single
hut made out Of old cans and where
gasoline is 10 cents a gallon, there is
a windmill that is retaining a plot
Of excellent soil, Each Of the dozen
houses has ITS we'll, its spring, or it:
streamlet trickling from the t%reeles'
rayine in the mountain behind it.

WADE DOSTER.

Capt. Wade Doster, medical
corps, U. S. Army, who was
shot and killed last Monday at
Columbus, N. NJ, by his wife
was a graduate of Wentworth
Military Academy class of 1902.
Wade Doster was the most ex-
emplary cadet in Wentworth
during the writer's nine years
connection with that institution.
There were brighter boys, but
none with a higher sense of hon
or. His industry made up for his
lack of mental alertness, and
for dependability, either as a pri-
vate, n~On-commissioned officer,
or officer, he had no equal. He
was a favorite of every cadet, be-
cause they knew he was on the
square, not only with them, but
with the school authorities.
His physique was no less per-
feet than his morals. He was ac-
tive in athletics, played center
on the football team, and what
ever took place on either wing
of the line of which he was the
pivot, his coach and team mates
had no fear of results when a
play was headed at the center.
We have heard but little from
him since his graduation, but
no matter how his life has beer
spent, we shall treasure the
memory of those few short
years of association and rem.
ember him as one of the finest
fellows we have ever known.

putes led to his resignation in May.

side, but Stephens body has not been
recovered.
Stephens was So years old and has a
wife and IL children in Bristol, where
he was barber. He served three
years in France with the British
army. He had planned to make a
lecture tour of England IL his trip
was successful
Forty-five minutes after the barrel
began its voyage it plunged over the
precipice of water at point about
one-quarter the distance across the
horseshoe from the Canadian shore. II
took the plunge headfirst and slid
down the face of the cataract in
pain view OF the watchers. gntil /,

the foaming water below.
For several hours watchers waited
for the barrel to reappear below the
falls. Pieces Of the barrel were pick
ed up, and Stephens was put down as
another victim OF the Niagara.
