WATER NOW
In ALL CANALS
Head being Gradually In
creased as Ditch Tested
Have Same Crew

The irrigation season is with US
again. The spring cleanup of the
canal system has been completed.
1t was much lighter than ever
before, according to w. c. Null
drow, the result, mainly, of the
gravel protection program that
has been in progress for several
years. Nearly four miles Of addi-
tional gravelling was done this
season. A little work for the next
couple Of seasons will completely
cover all banks and bottoms that
have shown a tendency to UNDER
cut and scour, and will greatly re-
duce the heavy annual cleaning bill
Of past years.
Water was turned in at the
headgates on the 18th and was
worked slowly and safely down
the bitches, and is now available
in all parts of the system. The
head is being increased few inch
es each day as the water is taken
out and put to use. There are some
gates where the land is high, that
cannot be served until the water
reaches a fairly full stage. The
capacity Of the lower spillway is
limited to small fraction Of the
full head, so the canals cannot be
brought to full stage except by
the lower users taking water out.
Those affected by high headings
may rest assured that the water
will be brought up to their level as
rapidly as the safety of the sys-
tenn will permit.
The trapping campaign against
the gophers has been carried on
as usual whenever the weather
permitted. About dozen Of them
crossed our ditch, leaving mounds
by which they were detected and
dug out. We are hopeful that none
crossed without leaving their signs
as it is these blind holes that may
wash through after days or weeks
and cause canal breaks.
The tumble weed fire that got
out of control in a high wind and
flashed through the stone flume
west Of town last week, caused a
big smoke and scare but did little
or no real damage. No repairs to
the flume were necessary.
The personnel Of the canal force
will be unchanged this year. ALI
the old and trained men will be
back on their jobs with the tenn
porary exception of Lowell Shoe
maker on the Section z beat. Low
ell is recovering from a minor op-
Grafton and Leo Luke will look
after this beat until he is able to
take up the rounds.
1t is hoped that the water US
ers generally, will get their dry
est spots ready and get them irri-
gated as soon as possible, so that
the first hot spell will not catch
everybody behind and result in a
rush for extra water that cannot
be provided without bringing up
the head too rapidly for the safety
of the bitches.

their own ends! How difficult,
often, it is for the masses Of men
to see how grossly they are misled
in this way. Even in our own
time what schemes of trickery and
greed can often be successfully
perpetrated if some group or indi-
vidual surrounds these schemes
with religious or patriotic preju-
dice.
Surely nothing is more necessary
in the world today than that clear
insight that leads people of unset
fish love for God and e-hearted
and devoted love for their country
to scrutinize with shrewdness and
sound judgment the activities of
self-seekerS, and particularly the
sort Of Self-seekers who are always
raising clamor against other
people.
The failure of the magistrates and
people of Philippi to exercise some
sound judgment in the matter led
them into serious trouble. They did
not realize that Paul himself was
a Roman citizen, and in laying
stripes upon him and casting him
into prison, they brought themselves
in serious danger of being called to
account for their action by Rome.
However, Paul and Silas we're cast
into prison, where that dramatic
event quickly happened which is
known as the conversion of the
Philippian jailer. 1t is wonderful
story of Christian fortitude in the
midst of trial, Paul and SilaS at
midnight praying and singing hymns
to God, even though they were
thrust into the inner prison and
their feet were fast in the stocks!
What strange effect there must
have been upon the other prisoners
who heard them! Then came the
earthquake, with the shaking of the
foundations of the prison and the
opening of the doors.
Tried to End His Life
The jailer, in terror, was about to
kill himself, supposing that all his
prisoners had escaped, when there
happened an even stranger thing
than the earthquake. Here we're
men who had had the opportunity
Of escaping who had chosen to re-
main. 1t was no wonder that the
jailer, hearing Paul's loud voice, do
myself no harm for we are all here,
under the power of that marvellous
experience, Immediately became a
convert to the faith.
One might we'll ask what did he
mean when he inquired, What
must I do to be saved?" But what
over he put into the question, Paul
put the glory of great salvation
into his answer.
Believe on the Lord Jesus and
thou shalt be saved, thou and thy
house" Is it any wonder that the
lesson ends with the record that
the jailer "rejoiced, believing in
God with all his house"

HOOVER READY
/ TO OPEN drive
! IN NORTHEAST
Prepares to Lead Campaign
Into Smith StronghoIdS
Along Atlantic.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Her-
bert Hoover will bring his fight to
capture northeastern and other At
lantic seaboard states Monday, when
he inaugurates a series of cam
= paign conferences here with leaders
Nfrom his Democratic opponent
own battle-ground.
Back in the capital after his six
weeks trip west the Republican
presidential nominee has turned his
thoughts to the East. Sure of the
West and confident that the farm
issue as an intra-party controversy
has been laid to est, he plans to
whip the New York, New Jersey and
New England organizations into
shape for the fray.
Despite complete satisfaction with
political conditions in the West,
Hoover looks for a hard fight. Lead
ers from many sections have pre-
Sented reports of unusual Demo-
cratic strength and enthusiasm.
Invited Into Northeast
Hoover has told them that con-
tinuous and aggressive warfare must
be the watchword until Nov. 6, and
said he would set them an example
in his own handling of the fight.
Northeastern spokesman have al
read yasked him to spend some time
in their States, citing the good re.
suits Of his invasion of the corn
belt, they point out that the same
methods might have the same effect
in territory regarded as Governor
Smiths stronghold.
He does not know where he will
make his next speech or when. A
labor day address over the radio
from Washington has been talked
Of, but his present feeling is there
is not enough time to prepare for it..
Plans Revamping Staff
His chief though regarding
speeches is that he wants each one
to carry definite message and not
to be merely talk for the sake of
talking.
Before leaving Washington he in
tends to give personal attention to
the headquarters organization now
in charge of DR.. Hubert Work. ma
tional chairman. 1t is predicted
that within a few weeks his polit-
ical staff will undergo some of the
reorganization for which Hoover is
noted.

steel cars the switch wore out often
and had to be changed.
The switch had been repaired a
few hours before the wreck, and had
been tested with an empty train
and then with a loaded train NOV
ing slowly. 1t appeared to be
working perfectly when the Brook
Ign train was signaled out of the
station.
Baldwin gave the motorman on
the Brooklyn train the signal to
come ahead in the belief that the
switch had been thrown wide open
when he pulled the lever by which
he operated it. Apparently it
opened only part way.

THE winning of Lydia to the
l. Christian faith with it's favor
able consequences for Paul was not
altogether typical of Paul'S ex-
perience at Philippi and the influ-
ence of his teaching upon the
women who heard him.
Among his converts was a young
woman who, we should say today,
had psychic" powers but who was
thought of in that day as sooth-
sayer exercising her strange art
through some evil possession. AS
the company of devout people that
Paul found at Philippi went to
prayer, this young woman followed
Paul and his associates, crying,
'TheSe men are the servants of the
most high God which show unto us
the way of salvation" This she did
on successive days until Paul turned
and exercised this spirit of evil, and
the young woman became freed from
her strange possession.
Fred From Bondage
Just how we are to interpret
these things with our modern
knowledge of psychology is doubt
full, but it is quite clear that the
masters of this young girl were US
ing her powers for their own base
ends and for material gain, where
as Paul was interested in the young
woman'S welfare; and whatever the
experience was, she was saved from
a distressing condition.
The benefit that came to the young
woman, however, through Pauls
ministration reused the antagonism
Of her masters, who now saw that
the hope of their gain was gone.
Here in Philippi, accordingly, we see
the beginning in western civiliza-
ton of that conflict between spirit
ual interest and selfish gain which
has continued to the present day.
Instead of being glad that the young
woman had been helped by Paul,
her masters we're reused to great
fury, ID, like all such people in
f1uenced by their own self-interest,
they believed that religion ought to
keep to it's own place"
1t would not have sounded very
well to accuse Paul by saying that
their own gains had been dissi-
pated by the conversion of the
young woman and that that was
their real concern about the mat
ter. 1t sounded much better to
attack Paul on the ground of his
religion. So the masters of the
young girl brought Paul and Silas
into the market place and before
the magistrates, seeking to stir up
religious prejudice against them.
"These men being Jews" they
said, do exceedingly trouble our
city and teach customs which are
not lawful for us to receive neither
to observe. being Romans"
How persistent in history has
been that device of selfish men in
making religious prejudice serve

WRECK; JAILED
Fate or Fault Lands Old
EmpIoye in Prison for

BY EARL J. JOHNSON
limited Press STAFF Cnrresnnndenf

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-W. G.
Baldwin, an obscure little man who
has spent twenty years of his life
working diligently in the darkened
tunnels of New York's underground
transportation system was held re-
sponsible by police today for the
first major subway disaster since
the roaring tubes were established
in 1905
Baldwin was locked up in jail
cell on a charge of homicide be-
cause an investigation indicated
that the splitting Of switch under
his care caused the wreck at Times
Square Friday night.
Just Fate
It remains for the medical eX-
aminer and a grand jury to decide
whether criminal negligence on his
part allowed the switch to close
Just as the eighth car of a ten-car
train sped over the rails. From
Baldwin's own viewpoint the dis
aster must seem to hinge on moth
ing more material than an I'M
fortunate twist of fate.
The marlborough Rapid Transit
Company employs dozens of main
tenance men and switch inspectors.
Baldwin had been in that depart
ment thirty years.
At $40 Friday, Baldwin was Sit
ting in his signal tower below the
Times Square station, when the
express train bound for Brooklyn
came hurting down the track.
Seven cars passed over the switch
but f1ange on the front wheels
of the eighth car caught. There
was a deafening clatter of steel.
The last three cars broke off from
the first seven and shot into the
spur.
Later in the night Frank Hedley,
president and general manager of
the marlborough sent for Baldwin
and turned him over to the police.
Hedley's presence had been de-
manded at the Thirtieth st. police
station by Mayor Walker after the
accident and Hedley had promised
to produce the man responsible for
the disaster"
