The Delta independent., 1921-04-29

Senator Lawrence c. Phipps has
introduced a bill in the senate proyid-
ing for the erection of federal build
ing to cost $125.OOO at Delta. The pro-
visions of the bill limiting the amount
as stated above for the site and build
ing is not as large as some that have
been introduced, yet the amount
would erect a very creditable struc-
ture.
The bill was introduced at the last
session of congress, but failed with
many others and is likely to meet
the same fate this time. Very few, II
any federal buildings will be made
possible for a few years, but the re-
cord will be kept in case this avenue
of the federal pork barrel" is under
taken.

victim. 1t camo out gradually.
Each day there were new details
og the gossips .
A teller in his fathers bank hat
absconded with thousands. Also
with Helen, Jimny's only sister.
And the worst Of It was that Heller
was a bride Of a year.
Her husband had managed the
Alcot. cuarries, shut down months
since. And Alcott senior was a
ruined man
Somehow had a feeling that
Jimmy ought to come to sea
Motherdear and me just because
he needed sympathy. Every even
ing l put on q certain blue lawn
which he admired.
Then came news of the acct
dent; James S. Alcott, senior,
had gone over the edge OF his big
gest quarry in his automobile!
And Jimmy Alcott was nowhere
to be found. Jimmy often drove
the big carrbecause his father dis
liked driving!
Was it an accident?
The pond in the %quarries was
dragged for Jimmy's body. Nobody
mad aeen the young man at the
railroad station. Some said he had
run away from disgrace.
others said he hadn't run away:
wasn't anything for him to run
away from! MI,
Motherdear and ! couldn't think
of Jimmy as a coward.
His own mother was dead, his
sister gone, his father a suicide;
eventually. what remained OF the
Alcott property would be sold for
the benefit of the banks credi'
tors.
Plainly. there was nothing for
Jimmy to run away from. But
wasn't there something for him to
come buck to? !,
Well, there was l! Very mucE
Mortified and hurt!
such were the visions which dis
