COLONY OF ASIATICS
Irrigation Proposals for Imperial Valley Indicate Possibility of Im- migration Influx.

Washington. Dec, 31.-Creation of a vast colony of Asiatics in the Inn perial Valley of California on land that inevitably would be irrigated by the Colorado river if the proposed boulder canyon dam is constructed, was predicted today before the sen. ate irrigation committee by George II. Maxwell of Arizona, who said he represented the National Reclama. ton association.
 Mir.

SONG OF THE STALWART HEART

Give me always a goal to try for;
Let me fight till my breath be
spent;
Give me a dream to live and die for
And | shall be content.
Keep for others your silken leisure,
Drowsy days in the shade or sun;
| was never one to treasure
Rest till my work was done.
No. for sloth is the worst Of SHINING;
Give. me the JOY and zest Of the
fray,
Finding my true reward in the win
ming,
Not in the prize or pay.
And, if victory be denied me,
| shall not shrink from another
test,
Nor care at all if the fools deride me,
Knowing | did my best.
Somewhere still there are roads un-
charted;
Somewhere still is an unbound
Grail;
Let me go onward, valiant hearted,
To the end of the last, long trail.
Give me always a goal to try for;
eLt me toll my days be spent;
Give me a dream to fight and die for
And | shall be content!

Will Investigate
The Campaign Cash

Washington-Wi Without a dissenting
vote the senate adopted, on the day it
adjourned, the La Toilette resolution
providing for investigation by a spe-
cial committee of the campaign ex-
penditures and promises of political
patronage made in behalf Of candi-
dates for nomination and election for
president and vice president, presi-
Dental electors and senators Of the
United States this year.
Borah is chairman Of the inveSti-
eating committee, with Jones Of
Washington as the other Republican
member; Caraway and Bayard are
the Democrats and Shipstead the
Farmer-Labor member. They are to
report to congress December 5.
The inclusion Of senatorial candi-
dates will enable Shipstead to sum
mon witnesses as to money to defeat
Brookhart in the recent Iowa pri-
mary. Brookhart himself spent $3.50
as against the hundreds Of thousands
employed in the vain attempt to
throw the "Bolshevik" out Of the SEN
ate.
Other senatorial fights which are
expected to cost fortunes are the at
tempt to re-elect Phipps in Colorado,
and the attempt of the same financial
groups to defeat Walsh in Montana
and Walsh in Massachusetts.

Francis for the first time was con-
scious Of an utterly new sensation
with regard to his companion. He
watched him through half-closed eyes
an Notwithstanding little man
whose clothes, though neat, were H.
chosen, and whose tie was an offense.
There was nothing in the face to de-
note unusual intelligence, but the eyes
were small and cunning and the
mouth logged Francis looked away
out of the window. A sudden fash of
realization had come to him, a wave
Of unreasoning but positive dislike.
"When do you hope to bring your
case to an endT" he asked.
The man smiled once more, and the
very smile irritated his companion.

"Mr. Ledsam," he said, 1--WE have
been old friends, If you will allow me
to use the word, ever since I was pro-
noted to nay present position in the
force. You have trusted me with
good many cases, and I acknowledge
myself your debtor, but in the matter
Of Sir Timothy Brast, you will for
give my saying with all respect, sir,
that our ways seem to lie a little
apart"
"Will you tell me why you have ar
rived at that conclusion?" Francis
asked. "It was I who first melted
you to set a watch upon Sir Timothy.
It was to you first mentioned certain
suspicious I myself had with regard
, to him. I treated you with every con-
f1dence. Why do you now withhold
yours from me?"
1T is quite true, Mr.. Ledsam," Shop
land admitted, that 1t was you who
first pointed out Sir Timothy as an
interesting study for my profession,
but that was matter Of months ago.
If you will forgive me saying so, your
relations with Sir Timothy have al
tered since then. You have been his
a rumor, sir-you will pardon me If l
seem to be taking liberty-that you
are engaged to be married to his
daughter, Oliver Hilditch's widow"
'You seem to be tolerably well In
formed as to my affairs, Shopland,"
Francis remarked.
"Only so far as regards your asso-
Citations with Sir Timothy" was the
deprecating reply. "If you will ex-
cuse me, sir, this is where l should
like to descend"

100000 in Ohio
Consume Electricity

Columbus, O.-More than 100000
Ohio homes, commercial establish
ments and industrial plants are now
receiving electricity from central
electric generating stations, accord
ing to the Ohio Committee on Public
Utility Information.
Statistics just issued by the Ohio
state public utilities commission show
that at the start of 1924, the central
station plants were serving 895,312
customers, an increase during 1923
of the unprecedented total Of 103,049.
In 1922 the companies, gain was 49,
500.
During the first five months of
1924, the companies have been adding
new electric light users at the rate of
more than 5000 month. Last year
there was distributed in Ohio by
these companies ,566,800 kilo-
watt hours of electricity, as compared
with 2,641 ,669,083 the year previous,
an increase of 681 ,897797 kilowatt
hours, or more than 20 per cent.
To meet the ever-mounting demand
for electrical energy, the electric light
and power companies of the state in
creased their investment in 1923 by
$70,126,3 6,309.51, bringing their total
investment for the generation and
distribution of electricity up to the
grand total of S315,643, ,643,92. Much
of this new capital required was OBJ
tanned by selling securities to custom
erS.
1t cost the companies SAT, ,594, ,092.43
to produce and distribute the energy
they sold. In addition, the companies
paid taxes totaling $7,733,984, an in
crease of 81 ,458,287.11 over the year
previous.
Most electric light companies in
Ohio today are paying between 10
and IL cents out of every dollar of
gross revenue back to taxing author
tiles for the support of the govern
ment.
Although 225 electric light and
power companies are now reporting
to the state public utilities commits
sion, eleven serve more than 70 per
cent of Ohio's light and power users.
These eleven companies and the num-
ber of customers they had on Janu-
ary l, 1924 are:

CHANCE TO MOVE AHEAD

Every critical situation a man is
forced to meet during his business
career should be regarded as a period
of advancement. Every test is a
chance to move ahead. The man who
does not develop himself by meeting
emergency conditions has a poor
chance for future business success.
1t is no kindness to a young man to
smooth things out for him. He must
make his own tools and learn how to
use them.-Alvan Macauley, presi-

The Right Precedent

Governor Donahey established a
tight precedent the other day when
he refused to commute the sentence
Of convicted nineteen year old
murderer. This action was import
ant in that it meets a situation
created by notorious Chicago hom-
icide case, already utilized by alert
criminal lawyers.
So far as Ohio is concerned, Gov
ernor Donahey affirms that each
such case must stand on its merits.
No clemency should be extended to
condemned person, providing the
courts have functioned properly in
imposing the death penalty on such
accused person.
This should be the attitude of all
executives. 1t is the only safe rule.
The courts have all the facts before
them. IT the accused person shall
have had fair trial, the presump-
ton is that the verdict and sentence
were just. Pleas of mercy, based
