glad to report that. while mistakes

been able to convince your committee
that practically all projects have
been well planned and economically
carried out.
I'm making comparisons Of the
costs of different projects throughout
the state. it is necessary in order TO
arrive at a true result not only to
take into consideration the unsettled
conditions existing during the last
few years. but the great variation in
not only distances but conditions sur
rounding the carrying out and com
pletion of projects. Since some ques.
tions have arisen regarding the Wind

with the following figures which
have been compiled by our Mr..

I'VE recommend that the highway
department keep in the closest pos
s!ble touch with all division en-.
gineers. thus avoiding any great loss
from incompetency and also avoiding
any criticism that might reflect on
the department through such incom.
potency in the several divisions. We
also recommend that the chief Of the
highway department make the final
acceptance or rejection of all large
projects rather han permitting the
division superintendents to act N
his capacity. We further recon-
mend that a special committee Of
two hold-over senator's be appointed
at this time. whose duties shall be
to keep in the closest possible touch
with the operations of the highway
department during the next two years
and so to familiarize themselves with
all activities of the department that
they will be in a position to give this
body n much moro intelligent and
comprehensive report two years
hence than is possible under the
present rush methods necessary TO

; the young Chinese boy, who had
been born on the ranch, spent his
days. Near the kitchen door was
the stone-curbed well and the
pumphouse, and beyond that the
high-wired, whitewashed chicken
yard, where a hundred white leg
horns cackled and laid their eggs,
and where Harry kept his Belgian
hares. Further up on the road
lay the main ranch buildings: the
superintendent two-storied cot
tage, the bunk house and cook
house, the barns, stables and
blacksmith's shop, while across the
irrigating ditch was the pictur-
esque group of huts where the
Chinese mysteriously, silently and
odorously lived.

) gaping doorways of the cutting
and packing sheds facing the
road upon the right. Noise and
color vibrated violently around
these low pavilions. The bright
pea-green foliage of the walnuts
stood out sharply against the RED
walls Of the buildings and ugly,
corrugated iron roofs: while In
still more vivid contrast rose the
hill behind the sheds whose broad
side was covered by brilliant
orange-hued trays Of drying april
cots. Upon this dfscordant riot of
tone, the Hot sun poured down a
harsh flood Of glazing light. A
din Of small noises, turbulent and
strident, eddied about these build
ings from 'sun-up" until dark.
The constant banging Of boxes,
the laughter and cries Of the cut
ters, the shrill cacophony of wo-
men vying with the rough bass of
men, the metallic clang of ham,
mered nails, the.tramp Of feet, the,
jingle Of harness and the squeak
of axles, contributed deafeningly
to the general clamor.

Baldwin's prim formal garden
with its rows of geraniums,
marguerites and zinnias, and little
borders Of marigolds and verbena.
Further on it branched again
into the pebble drive that circled
up to the house itself. It was a
comfortable home with a peaked
roof and a shady side-porch. When
1t had been built there had no<
been much latitude in available
material or in architectural ideas.
1t needed constant patching, and
every spring when the roof pre-
sented its seasonal leak, the Judge
swore he would no longer ''be
domiciled in a habitation Of such
COMPOUNDED imperfections." But
Mrs. Baldwin has done much to
its plain exterior to make 1t at
tractive. There were narrow beds
OF rose bushes, and great colorfuI
masses Of fuchsias tackled to the
sides OF the house with strips of
old gloves or the soft leather of
discarded shoes. The flower beds
were edged with jagged brick
ends, and on either side the mar

Presently, when her breath re-
turned, she renewed her demands.
Her brother caught her to him
again and kissed her in the soft
curve of her neck.

me what it is"
He was persuaded finally to

mock. mystery, drew from his
pocket little striped paper bag.
"It,s hoarhound, I'll bet! cried
the child, reaching for the prize.

exultantly, capturing it.
Mrs. Baldwin's gray eyes rested
on her big son; her mouth
frightened an she shook her head
in mild disapproval.
"Phil-you shouldn't. It isn't

and you spoil her. There's no

elder son in ! the front seat,
sounded on. the drive. About her
were half-a-dozen peach baskets
half filled with the fruit, black,
ripe, and deiicately tender, each
fig wrapped In one Of its own
moist leaves. It was impossible
to market the lavish bounty of
the tree, as the fruit would not
ripen If picked green and was
too soft for shipment. In a few
days. it would begin to drop, and
every morning and afternoon the
mangled lusciousness would have
to be gathered off the ground to
keep the earth clean under foot.
Only what could be consumed on
the ranch or preserved was ever
saved.
With an impassive study, Mrs.
Baldwin regarded her husband
and son as they drove up, but
she gave them no verbal greet
ing. The Judge wrapped the
reins around the whip-socket and
.ponderously prepared to descend.
Philip busted himself extricating
his wheel from the back seat. AS
he came toward her presently,
pushing the bicycle before him,
she addressed him.

family sat out on the side porch

Philip was unable to analyze his

he was deliberate Of action both
in mind and body.
There were several marked diff
