reclamation service. under direction
of W. r. Weymoth, chief engineer,
has already expended 100000 in
sinking test pits and drilling test
holes in the bottom and walls of
Boulder and Black canyons. The
work has been conducted under the
most hazardous conditions. Drillers
sinking TO bedrock operate on
barges held in the channel by tackle
working on steel cables extending
from wall to wall. Sudden rises of
the river have been responsible for
loss of lives and the pay OF 81 a
day is not deemed too high for these
intrepid hard-rock men. The season
is rapidly approaching finish and
the first week In April will see the
tawny food rise u feet in a few
brief hours and rage onward to the
fertile Imperial ontent on des-
truction.
In Black canyon bedrock is 1872
feet while in Boulder canyon the
anchorage was not reached before
penetrating 156 feet. Every core is
registered in the office of the recla-
nation bureau. The perils OF the
ordinary day-to-day operations may
be gauged from the fact that the
gasoline launch which conveys the
workers back and forth from the
camp trayerses the two miles in 10
minutes on the downward journey
and takes 40 minutes to pillow its way
back breasting the muddy waters.

WORK on STORAGE DAM
TO BE RESUMED SHORTLY

While not authentic, 1t is reported
here that the Western States Gas &
Electric company is planning to re-
sumo operations at Cable Lakes at
an early date. 1t is stated that the
heavy winds carried most of the
snow from the high ground at the
reservoirs and deposited it in the
canyons. By shoveling out the road
between Woodfords and the Lakes,
early operations can be started, ac-
cording to reports received here this
week. Telephone connections from
the Lakes extend to Placerville, but
no line connects with this side of the
mountains.

COUNTY AND CITY SCHOOLS
COMPARED.

State reports show an enrolment Of
more than 100000 children in the
public schools. More than 1900, 0Ot
are enrolled in the cities and incorpor
ated towns and about 100000 in the
schools of the open country. While
the city and village schools have about
100000 in average daily attendance
the country schools have about 7,000,-
600. The length of school term in the
cities is over nine months, or 1872 days,
while the country schools run less than
seven months of 1877 days in the year.
In the cities the average number of
days attended by each pupil enrolled
is lab while in the rural districts the
average pupil attends only 90 days in
the year Is this giving the country
boy and girl an equal chance with
those in the cityg
Compare the one-room country
school house, poorly equipped and com
fortress with the handsome school
building of the city with the best of
equipment. Compare the poorly paid
country teacher trying to instruct
children in six or eight grades in onr
room, with the well trained and fairly
paid teacher of the city instructfng a |
class of one grade in one room.
Why are the country schools so in
Terror to the city schoolss 1t is be.
'ause the average country district is
not rich enough to pay for a good |
'chool. Most of the wealth is in the
titles and low school tax secures
rood schools. In some states where
he cities can maintain excellent
chools with a tax of so cents on the
100 worth of property there are coun-
ry districts unable to have good
chools by paying three or four times
his rate. The hope of our rural schools
in increased state aid which means
larger tax upon the wealth for the
npport of schools of the people. All
ne children in the cities have, the
ime school privileges whether their
arents are rich or poor, those who

MAN WANTS
BUT LITTLE
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH

MI AN wants but little here below
AVA Nor wants that little long,
But when he wants for something,
though,
He wants 1t good and strong;
And every man who ever had
A household and a wife,
One certain thing has wanted bad
And wanted all his life.
Some things we'd like to have we
! can't
o women, give us heed
There are some things that husbands
want,
That husbands really need.
One little boon we'd like to crave,
Its absence often hurts
Oh. somewhere in the dwelling save
A Place to Keep Our Shirts.
One small, exclusive dresser drawer
For all our very own
We do not ask for any more,
We long for that alone.
Now, when we have to dress In
haste,
No wonder that we curse
We grab a shirt, we get a waist, |
Or something even worse.
We do not ask to have den,
A room our own to be;
We do not ask refuge when
The ladies stay to tea.
But have one place that's crowded not
with pinkish things and skirts
let us have one little spot
Where We Can Keep Our Shirts!

OF COURSE IT PAYS.

If you tell some people that 1t pays
to trade at home they will question
the accuracy of your statement or
merely content themselves with q care
less perhaps" For their benefit
here is one of the why's. In modern
days the prosperity of community
depends upon the amount OF money
in circulation in that community. If
man goes to nearby city to buy o
suit of clothes the money he pays for
the suit is all taken out OF town. 1t
is gone, and the town doesn't see it
again. But if he buys the suit from
home dealer the wholesale cost only
goes out of town. The merchant 8
profit and overhead expense remains
in the home town. Figured on the
basis of single suit for single in
dividual, it amounts to nothing of i'm
portance, but if multiplied into hun
dreds of suits, and other articles of
wearing apparel, and shoes, and hard |
ware, and millinery, and farm nipple
ments, and building supplies, and all
Of the other articles that enter into
our daily life, it can readily be seen
that the two items of overhead ex-
oense and profits, if all kept at home
by the patronizing of home dealers.
would mean an enormous amount OF
money kept in circulation right here in
ur own community. And you would
ct part of that money. It's worth 4
linking over, because it pays to trade
{ home.

That big words are all right, pre-
vided fellow is as big as the word

That old faithful "bossy" is ono

That the nice weather is again

That some people make themselves

That it may be up to the Boy Scouts

That the situation in Europe re-
mains unchanged. They are unable to

That XYZ's "brite and fare''

That they say that every American
citizen is a king in his own right,

That youngster gets job, joins

battles won with the query, "And
what did you do the next day?'
1t is hard to be able to bask in the
light of past accomplishments. Pleas
ant it is TO sit back, after doing some
thing difficult, and admire ourselves
for doing it.
But life is like a moving sidewalk
You have got to keep up with it or
get off. And we are all born with an
instinct that prompts us powerfully
not TO get off.
Keep your eye on the next hurdle.
That is the hurdle that is of vital In
terest to you. 1t is the one on which
you must concentrate all your cour-
age and all your energies.
For if you don't get over 1t, you are
out of the race, and all the hurdles
you have taken before have gone for
nothing.
If you have had a little success,
make it a big success Put the hurdle
up little higher If you have done
one job well, find tougher job, and
do that better.
That is what makes progress and
progress is necessary TO the prosper
ity and happiness of every human be-
ing just as it is necessary to the pros
perity and happiness of the whole hui
man race
There will be plenty of hurdles to
take. But when you have taken one
make ready for another. For success
Is just one hurdle after another, and
the man who takes them as they come
Is the man who wins our.

that any man who is clever or lucky
