the effect that one battery of five
stills is complete and will begin refin-

Cow Creek, suffered a very severe in

Gave Away Water,
Now Buy 1t Back
Reclamation Service Would Let State
Have Waters of Little Sage
Creek for $3.50 Acre Foot.

The state of Wyoming may be called
on to buy back water which it once
gave to the United States reclamation
service, at the rate of $3.50 an acre
foot, as the result of findings of local
officials of the United States land Of
flee transmitted to the United States
geological survey. The price is for
1905 acres on Little Sage Creek. tribu-
tary to the North Platte river and be-
low the Saratoga and Encampment IT.
rigatiOn project.
1t is based ON the cost of water
storage in the great Pathfinder reser-
voir, where it is calculated that all di-
visions consuming waters from the
territory tributary to the reservoir
should pay for one-half the value Of
storage which they reduce by convert
ing such water from permanent to hold
over storage. 1t is estimated that hold
over capacity in the reservoir is worth
approximately One-half Of the value OF
permanent or 'every-year'' capacity.
Under the terms of the reclamation
act, the cost of the reservoir is to be-
returned to the public treasury on the
basis of $500 per acre-foot per annum
as provided by the Warren act and it
is therefore held that the charge for
cOnsumptiye use of water above the
reservoir should be $3.50 per a~cre-foOt.

prescribing poisoning methods, assist
ing the county inspectors in their work
and by any other means possible.
This law will supply, for the first
time in the history of the state. a
means of forcing the nonresident, the
railroad companies and the state to
poison their lands. The resident land
owner is always willing to poison his
rodents but his work is practically lost
unless all of the land surrounding him
is poisoned also. The new law assures
that this will he lone after the district
is formed. 1t cannot be an unjust
burden, for the law specifically states
that no charge shall exceed IL cents
per acre, except in the ease of pocket
gopher control, when it may reach %
cents per acre. The increased value of
the land will Justify such an expense.
Anyone interested should get in
touch with the county agricultural
agent of the county in which he lives.
They will o o be able to supply the
blank forms for petitioning the COM
missioners and give information on how
the work should be organized. Resi-
dents of any County where no agricul-
tural agent is employed can secure the
petition blanks and such information
as can be supplied by writing the U. S.

Ry Air For S35.

London, Jan. 26.-(MaiD Fitted
with two hangers and designed to
carry 20 acroplanes which can be
raised to the fying-off deck on cleo
trio lifts. the -"Hermes." of 1O,950 tons,
will shortly be put into commission
for the ROYAL Navy. This is the first
aircraft carrier to be specially de-
signed by the Admiralty, and has the
unusual feature of tunnels. mast, and
superstructure on the starboard side
amidship. instead of in the center,
thus allowing plenty of flying off and
alighting space.
Another aircraft carrier just ready
for use is the Eagle" of 26.200 tons
which has been converted from a
battleship. originally laid down in
1918 for Chill.
The recent floods have so materially
changed the aspect of the land in the
vicinity of Amsterdam. that airmen
on the route between that city and
London have now to steer entirely
by compass. The flooded country
now seems like an inland sea, from
the air, and without the compass they
would be lost.
Airplanes plying for hire" out of
London, are to be fitted with taxi
meters. At two shillings mile the
clock will show fare working out at
about $35 each for three passengers
from London to Paris.

perimcnting more Or less for the last
twenty years in the propagation and
transplantng Of clans at my place

section of CaSco Bay.
The proposition to regulate the
taking of CLANS. requiring measure

clam turned over in the digging and
not taken will die. CLAIMS will not
e-cstab!ish themselves unless re-
placed with the head up and at least
two-t thirds of the length below the
surface OF the mud or sand SO that
it can work down. a clam placed
just under the surface with the head
up will work down to its natural
depth in two tides. but unless placed

will get all those not deroured by

4 certain amount of digging I'M

that clans if left to themselves Will
establish themselves too closely to-
gether and cannot grow to any size.
| find that the best way to conserve
the beds is to dig one section only
each season then leaving it alone for
three seasons so the new clam seed
can plant itself and grow to
proper size to use.
ANY one familiar with the digging
of clans will be amused at the idea
of having to measure each clam and
TO restore the small ones properly

RECALLING LINCOLN

The law and the courts were not
above criticism in the days of Abra-
liam Lincoln. He had an oppOrtun-
ity to know that from experience.
the experience of the poor man,
Handicapped. struggling against great
odds, experience of one who studied
the law and made it his profession.
Out of that acquaintance he found
respect for the law, he realized that
it is 4 protection more often than 1t
is an instrument of oppression of
those who honestly struggle for bet
ter things. We should and do be-
licve what he said respecting it:
Let reverence for the laws be
hrcathcd by every American mother
to the lisping babe that prattles on
her lap; let it be written in primers.
spelling books and almanacs; let it
be preached from the pulpit. pro-
claimed from legislative halls and
enforced in courts of Justice. In
short let it become the political re-
lISion of the nation"
Few, if any, men Of his age had
better opportunity to become ac-
quainted with his fellow men. with
their foblcs and with their strength.
Yet out of his acquaintance he found
confidence in his fellow men. His
faith did not come from theory but
from knowledge. not from parlor dis
cussion, not from such vision as one
may get by standing aloof but from
the common touch. This he never
lost. 1t was to him what the touch
of earth was to the tabled Antaeus,
a source of his wonderful power.
He may have read the saying Of
an ancient sage that humor was the
only test of gravity and gravity of
humor, or he may have discovered it
for himself, which is more likely.
Certainly it sweetcnod his outlook on
life and must have aided in keeping
slim sane and normal under terrible
strain. BY help of it he saw
through to the underlying fallacy OF
things fallacioLs, wonderful ac-
complishment.
These are but some of the things
he found and of which he made good
use. We have learned impresSively
of them through the sincerity of his
words and his deeds. And surely
brief inventory of these times and
isms, and restlcssness. and fan
cies and frcnZies is sufficient to
reveal the need we have Of finding
and taking to heart these truths
which Abraham Lincoln verified by
experience. The anniversary of his
birth, one hundred and fourteen years
ago today, is 4 fitting occasion for
doing this.
