death and destruction to every
thing in the productive 1mpe'
rial Valley. But now, so long
as Boulder Dam holds, there
is no danger. Only a safe
amount of water will be per-
mitted to pass.
An enormous lake at present
is being created on the dams
upstream side. The amount OF
water thus impounded is diff"
cult to conceive. Boulder Dam
itself is 727 feet high. The lake
will eventually extend up stream
for 115 miles. BY June OF this
year it probably will extend back
about so miles, and average 300
feet in depth.
If the average of past years
holds, it will take four years for
the lake to fill to its normal
level. Thereafter, in dry years,
it will provide a reservoir from
which water for irrigation and
power may always be drawn. IN
wet years, its level will rise and
the water will extend farther
back up stream. Under no con-
ceivable conditions can there
ever be another flood, or water
shortage in Imperial Valley.
The water, in falling from
the lake to the downstream side
of the dam, will pass through a
hydro-electric station, where
eventually it will develop neatly
two million horsepower OF elec-
trical energy.
SOLID ROCK
This will give the Southwest
power development three times
the capacity of any other project
under contemplation, and will
cost 1885 100000. A large por'
ton of this will be used in con-
Meeting southern California with
the lake above the dam. When
this connection is made, south
ern California will have the
greatest of all water supply
projects.
Viewed broadly this under
taking is deeply significant. To
any one who knew the Colorado
River and it's savage nature, as
it tore it's way through the
Grand Canyon, it seemed unbe-
lievable that man would ever be
able to tame It.
The key to the solution Of the
problem was the conception OF
four diversion tunnels. When
these had diverted the river
from it's bed, a dam could be
constructed.
He was indeed a bold man
who first proposed driving four
huge tunnels in the sides OF the
canyon through the nearly YER
tical solid rock. But it was done.

his Earth.

But this you forget at first
sight Of that thin, white face,
beating like a brave little flame
against the dark stupidity and
cruelty of Fenella'S world. In
that first flash, play and stage
both vanish and, instead, there
is Gemma the gypsy, wildly
daring, madly adoring, yet
MASKING it all beneath a gamin
grim-Gemma who knows life,
Fenella who doesn't-and Sc
bastian, who molds life to suit
himself.
KNOWS LIFE
WHAT HAS LOVE TO DO
WITH HAPP1NESS?
Fenella's lovely, shallow eyes
widened with amazement at
that question-likewise the eyes
of almost every lady in the
audience. And, I suspect, the
eyes Of several of our prettier
young gentlemen.
For, according to our Amer.
ican creed, happiness is the aim
and test of all love.
But to Gemma, ragged,
hungry, heartsick, such
creed is childish nonsense.
She had no illusions. Sebast-
ian was SebaStian-nothing
would ever change him. Sc
bastian was a cruel monster,
and any woman who gave him
her heart might expect to
have it broken each day in
some new and more devilish
way.
At this Fene1la squeaks
shocked protest. How can
Gemma possibly love Sebastian
and yet call him a monster?
Gemma grins. What has love
to do with happiness? One
loves, no matter what it costs.
Just as one lives, no matter
what it costs. Love is as ruth
less as life. Cares as little for
your reactions. Either you can
take it or you can't.
If you take it. it's for better
or worse-usually worse. But
what of it? Only fools de-
mand or even expect happiness
with the great, grim business
of loving.

rather than the rule.
In the boom days of Kevin-Sunburst
wh en- people were falling over one
another trying TO invest their money In
drilling propositions they never had the
opportunity for really big profits that
are afforded today. The thing that is
holding the field back Is the lack OF an
adequate market.
How much foresight does It take to
know that this oil IS valuable. whether
Il is marketed today or q year from to-
day or five years from today

Likewise II stands to reason that a
man can make no mistake In buying
crude oil at Ne per barrel.
Time win tell just what this pur-
chase of Engemoen royalty will profit
our members. It need not be stated that
there isn't a remote chance OF loss on
this investment II the average yield OF
the Engemoen equals the average yield
to date Of productive ground. then each
81 cents invested will yield 1885. We
are inclined to believe that the use of
acid and other modern methods, the
Engemoen will produce in its lifetime
much more than has the AVERAGE
tested acre In this field TO date
Naturally, we have no more of this
Engemoen at SO cents an acre point. :.
This 6hTo landowners royalty is d.
vided among members Of this organi-
cation and they are likely to hang onto
it.
However, the Engemoen is not the
only bargain in this vast field. Every

Engemoen farm, In NWA 14-35-2W,
for less money than we ordinarily pay
for a royalty on rank wildcat. Here is
tract in the heart of the oil field. It
had one well drilled on it, by Ohio OIL
company. It was a S0-barrel well, initial
ly, but was abandoned as non-commer-
cial. Ohio drilled a second well and it
had a showing OF oil and was abandon
ed as dry. The outlook was none to
promising However, we we're convinced
that q dry hole means nothing In this
field. We know that a gusher does not
promise any more gushers- We have
seen three dry holes offsetting a gusher.
For that reason we may expect gusher
Offsetting dry hole.
Ohio OIL company had abandoned the
lease and the owners of this royalty
had little faith that the property would
ever produce of. So It was that we
placed half (6h 20 OF he Engemoen
royalty into the hands of our members
for So cents per cent per acre.
What does that mean?
It means that whenever this tract
produces an average of $50 worth OF
oil per acre. this royalty VIII have paid
out. Each time thereafter that this
tract produces $50 worth OF oil per
acre. It means a 1909 profit on the In
vestment. since in producing $50 worth
of oil, each per cent is yielding one
one-hundredth OF $e3 or So cents.

while the present market will not take
this much oil at $3.50 per barrel the

BULLETIN
To Owners Of Engemoen Royalty

7 oNG before the use OF acid in
Kevin-Sunburst field, we issued 6
bulletin TO our members telling Of
the successful use Of hydrochloric acid
on lime wells in Michigan. and fore
casting the coming OF acid to Kelvin
Sunburst which produces from a SINH
lar formation.
At that time. Kevin-Sunburst was
dead" There was no drilling activity.
There was no promise of activity. About
one eighth of the probable producing
locations in the field had been drilled.
In other words, there was room for
seven new wells for every one drilled.
The field had produced up to that
time approximately 435, 200, 600 worth
acres to each we'll drilled. whether pro-
ductive or dry-amounted 30 around
Ss,Se6.20 pc racre. That Is, each acre
tested and produced $s.s65.2O, averaging
the entire field.
There is q lot Of oil yet 30

we told our members. There are
many areas in this field greater
than the total area Of Cat Greek
wherein there is not one produc-
ing wen There is plenty Of room
for several more Baker -HOw1ing
pools. Owing TO the nature Of the
producing hoEison, the last wei
drilled In the field may be Ehe
largest. The day Of gusheFs is
not past, although the pressure
has been relieved by gas pro
duction in present developed
pools.
First win come the day Of in
tengive development, wherein
leases win be drilled ou1, To-
cation after location; then, will
come modern production methods,
such as acidixation: and thereafter
will come deep drilling which we
have every reason to believe win
make the lime production appear
to be insignificant by comparison.
At that time 1--WE admit) this seemed
somewhat fantastical: the idea OF a
dreamer. However, we put our dreaming
int oaction. Few others agreed with us.

owners in this field. We purchased roy

that this field would have any more

SHOTS FIRED AT

Students Try For General Strike Against Rule of
 Great Britain
BY HAROLD PETERS iCnnxrlght 1895 by United Pressl

WDpyEABHw AooV " OAAASS~ ASS~S1
 Cairo. Nov, 2l-CUP)-Police fired with buckshot today into mob which was trying to enforce Q gem eral strike. One man was wounded. The clash occurred in the center of the city near the opera. Police had orders to prevent disorder in strike intended to be Q protest against kill- ings in recent riots and against Erie tish influence in government. Stu dents, leading the strike movement, had announced they would force all Bazaar keepers to join them. Initial clashes occurred, without casualties, in the outlying districts.
 Into Danger Area
 Then the rioting spread into the danger area, the Central City.
 It was Q demonstration near the office of the Independent newspaper Ahram which brought the first poe lice volley.
 A mob which contained no stur dents attacked street cars and miss es. One policeman and one passen- ger were injured.
 British police were withdrawn to the outskirts to avoid anti-British outbursts. They were replaced by na- tives.
 Mounted men and steel-helmeted police in trucks patrolled the center of the city. Police with bayonets guarded public buildings.
 The lawyers apparently were not unanimous in the strike and many cases were heard in the British courts this morning.
