But Marjorie was a bit quiet and did
not enter into the spirit of the war
dance, so her uncle sent her on to
bed.
Two weeks later came the meet with
Downing College, and the coach, who
had ~despaired of winning-privately
received the shock of his life. Billy

his jaw set and turned In two first
places-one in the hundred and one in
the twO-twenty discriminating better
time than he had ever done before.
The coach was amazed; Mr.. Deval-
Ion was jubilant, but kept his own
counsel; and only Billy and Marjorie
knew that those races were run on
the inspiration of a pair Of bright
eyes in the third row of the grand
stand. Billy had found his interest.
After the meet MIR. Deviation pro-
posed that Marjorie return to New
York. You've done your work and
done 1t well. That young idiot has
learned what ambition is. and you've
taught 1t to him. We eau 90 when

But Marjorie showed a sudden inter-

begged TO be allowed to remain. She
would stay with a girl friend OF hers.
she said; and, finally. Mr.. Deviation
consented.
The interCollegiates we're run two
weeks later. and Mr.. Deviation read
with pleasure that Bill Renfrew had
taken first in the 100-yard dash and
first in the 22o-his special races
and afterward had tried his hand at
the broad jump. placing third--a to-
tai of thirteen points for his college.
Marjorie had promised to return
Immediately after the meet, so that
evening after dinner he was not sur

But he received a shock to see that
she had some one with her, and that
that some II was no other than Billy

"Oh. uncle dear" cried Marjorie,

When Mr.. Deviation recovered from

his consent.

cording to the report, which also
shows that "by using gravity sup
ply from the Pend Oreille, which j.
the most practical and economical
source. there will be two or three
times the amount of water necessary
to meet any irrigation demand"
The report also contains studies Of
water supply from Wenatchee Lake
and from the Columbia River slow
ing a slightly higher cost per acrs Of
the former and the infeasibility Of
the latter.
The area within the Columbia Ba-
sin that could be watered from these
sources, however. are considerably
less than those proposed to be irri-
gated from the Pend Oreille.
In a resume of its Investigations.
the commission shows that:
There is an abundance of water
that can be conveyed to the Column
bia lands by gravity.
There are no serious engineering
features.
The irrigable land is of excellent
quality. Much of it has been titled
and will require small expense to
prepare for irrigation.
The topography of the Columbia
Basin lands lends itself to an &C.
onomical distribution of water.
The productivity of the land has
been amply proven by results OBJ
tanned on small tracts within this
area.
The splendid climate, abundance OF
sunshine, long growing season and
the fertile lands assure abundant and
dependable yields.
"The application of water to the
Columbia Basin lands will yield pro-
ducts which will add greatly to the
wealth of the state and nation" says
the report. Lack of adequate rain
fall upon the greater part of the
area is the only factor which has pre-
vented it becoming thriving agri-
cultural region. In soil and climate
it is probably unequaled by a similar
area in the country"
Adjoining the area which can be
irrigated by gravity water supply
according to the report, are 1,250,O0O
acres which are not suited for inten-
siye cultivation but which will large
ly be available for grazing. An ad-
ditional $1,000 acres can be irrigated
by pumping less than $50 feet IN
height, and 317,000 acres by high
er lift. Pumping areas, however, ar
not included in the present estimates
of the commission. During the irri-
CATION season it will be possible q
develop power for pumping or othcl
use varying from $4,000 to 100000
horsepower at drops in the distriba-
ton system.
"The project will be settled As
rapidly is available for the severa
