CHAPTER XIX

John @. Powers descended from
the train at Round Top and was met
by Calhoun Terry. The two men
walked to the Holden House, where
the ranch foreman had taken rooms.
Powers was a heavy-set, middle
aged man of a precise habit Of
mind. He wore square-toed shoes,
a double-breasted coat, and silk
hat. His home was in Philadelphia,
and he had never before been far
Their west than Chicago. The Pow
ers family had bought for them
selves and some business associates
the Diamond Reverse B ranch at a
time when capital was being poured
into the cattle industry. So far it
had been a good investment. There
had been bonanza years when the
ranch had returned more than 80 per
cent on the original cost. But those
boom days were past. The profits
had dwindled, and the books showed
for two years balance IN the red.
A letter from the foreman had
brought him out here in person.
A shrewd investor, John @. was
moving to the opinion that it might
be time to sell out.
As they walked to the hotel, Pow
ers noticed that Terry did not ex-
change greetings with the men he
met. The glances that fell on the
Philadelphia were merely curious,
but when they shifted to the fore
man they held unconcealed hostility.
There was a tensity in the atmos-
phere that John @. did not like. His
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1941-08-07

ideas of the West were vague. He
thought of it as wild country where
there were possibilities of making
money in spite of Indians, rustlers,
drouths, and Billiards. Bad men,
cowboys, and cattle filed the fore
ground Of the picture.
They talked casually about the
trip from Chicago until the door of
the hotel room closed behind them.
Then, without waste of time, Pow
ers came to the business that had
brought him here.
''You think we ought to close out
the ranch?"
81 feel sure we ought" Terry re-
piled. tAn outfit as large as ours
can't be run proftably under present
conditions.
1--WE can get good price?"
ST think so. If the property is cut
UP wisely into small ranches. There
would be no difficulty in disposing
of the land"
I'D like to go out and look the
situation over. You have made ar
rangements, presume, to get me
out to the ranch"
Eyes. We can drive out. But
ought to tell you that there will be
some danger"
Danger! What do you mean?"
81 have been shot at several times
in the past three weeks, once as
was riding out of Round Top. A
few days ago one of the owners of
the Flying v c, James McFaddin,
was killed while he was rounding up
bunch of stock"
Powers stared at his foreman.
Good God! Isn't there any law in
this country"
Terry smiled grimly. Plenty of
it, and all on the side of the rustlers.
Our enemies elect the sheriff and
the judge, who try thieves before a
friendly jury which acquits them"
Then there is no way of stopping
cattle-stealing?"
eyes. There are ways" The steel
barred eyes of Terry held to those of
the fastener. IF we catch a rus
tier We stop him q. permanently.
The manager of the Diamond Re-
verse B decided not to spare the
feelings of his boss. He had to know
the truth before he could make an
intelligent appraisal of the situation.
ct has been the law of Cattleland
ever since the early Texas days that
horse or a cow thief forfeits his
life if caught" Calhoun explained.
THAT was necessary then, because
the law hadn't reached the brush
country. It is necessary now, be-
cause the law has been taken over
by the thieves. You are shocked
because I have been shot at and
McF addin killed. These attacks
were reprisals. Inside of a month
four men suspected of rustling have
been shot down from ambush"
"But-but-"
81 don't know who killed them, but
I can guess who ordered it done.
You need not let this worry your
conscience, Mr.. Powers. The Dia-

Lockless Suez Canal

The Suez canal is a sea-level
"ditch," requiring no locks. The
narrow ditch in the sand runs for
104.5 miles through desert and
marshy land from Port Said on
the Mediterranean to Port Tauiq
on the Gulf of Suez. Its channel
depth is now As feet, and its mar
rowest width is 20 yards. Although
it has been concerted at some
places to halt erosion, the banks
are chiefly sand or gravel.
The northern half of the canal
cuts straight through the desert;
the southern half leads through a
chain of small lakes which act as
expansion chambers to help
take up the flow of the four-foot
tide from the Red sea.
