foisted by men in authority on to the railroad company's stockholders. The new blood in the company management is apparently working 1T all sincerity. Which is probably why the Spencer water development pro feet, once derided as visionary and nonsensical by the Santa Fe engineers is now taken with great seriousness so much so that the late chief en- gineer, Mir. Millet, when he was here last fall said that the Santa Fe had torn up the old water development maps of this section and had the ut most confidence that Spencer is right, that there is plenty of pure water where he says there is and that it can be developed.
 The Santa Fe people seem to have in mind, it is said, the development of the Crater Lake project for Flag staff and of the Lockett Meadows pro- ject for Winslow and other points east.
 In the meantime, no matter what is don with the Crater Lake and Lockett Meadows, We should build that Swift ger Canyon lake for drinking water if it is needed, otherwise for recrea- tion purposes. A great volume of wa ter is going through the canyon, wasting. And another great volume is overfowing from our present city reservoirs. Soon they will be emptied and cleaned, adding to the waste. It may not look like waste now, when we have more water than we possibly can use; but it is waste, for we should have facilities for storing it for use when water is scarce or for recrea- tional purposes.

I never hit a man when l was mad but once," said John Metz. "He doubted something I said, and I just hauled off and poked him one in the jaw. Glad l didn't take time to set myself for the blow, or he might have been worse hurt. As it was, I squashed him so flat on his front porch that his own wife thought he was the door mat he'd promised to buy her and tackled him to the floor. For days she kept looking for that husband of hers, every little while walking right over him and sometimes stopping to clean the mud off her shoes on him. When she later found out about it she said it was the first time he'd been of any use."
 Sam Finley says the people up in Idaho where he used to do some pros pecting were the meanest he ever saw, He ran a wildcat under a school house one day and discovered rich mine and they wouldn't let him blast during school hours; even charged him 30 cents for some glass he broke one night. Later when one of his claims was jumped the governor re- fused to issue ammunition and when Sam dug ditch from the Colorado river three miles away to drive the Jumpers out, the coroner who sat on their bodies soaked him for the cof- fins.
 Art Williams says they had an aw- ful thunder storm in Fort Valley the other day. Rained torrents. Art was caught in it. Humped down behind a tree. Lightning struck the tree and smashed it all to pieces. This sort of discouraged Art, who saw that if he didn't do something pretty quick he might be killed. So he went out into the middle of the field, took off his coat and shirt and bumped his back leap-frog fashion. Drew eleven clips of lightning on his bare backbone, which used up all the electricity in the sky; then got on horse and came to town.
 John Marshal says the meanest woman he ever knew made her hus- band help her in the kitchen and made him whistle all the time he was there so he couldn't eat anything.
 Though Joe Crawford says she isn't patch to the woman who brought back lot of sausage skins to his store to get them refilled or credited on the purchase of some more saul sage.
 Which isn't so much worse than one John Lind knew who stopped the clock every night to keep it from wearing out.A
 Though Frank Brooks opines that the worst case of meanness ever re- corded was when fellow came to the place of business he and Tom Rickel

Miss Cecil Leitch Former British Golf Champ, Calls Miss Alex Stirling Finest Shot Maker in U. s.

London, Dec. 29. - Miss Cecil Leitch. the former British woman golf champion. is at present in the hands of specialist for treatment of her arm, and she has said recently that she could not define her pros- poets in the matter of playing in the next ladies championship games.
 Regarding her tour last summer in Canada and the United States, Miss Leitch declared it was purely of a private nature. She was particularly impressed with wonien's golf in the Dominion. Of the outstanding play CTS in Canada, Miss Ada Mackenzie and Miss Popler were probably the greatest
 Miss Alex Stirling was undoubtedly the greatest exponent of women's golf in the United States, in spite of the fact that she curtailed her play dur ing 1922. She was the finest ''shot maker over there. She had more shots almost than any other player. Miss Leitch considers that the ma jority of women's golf courses in the United States and Canada are easier than those in England. There is no undIlation there as in England, and virtually no wind. The courses, how ever, are very much better kept than in this country.
