Called His Hand.
An exchange gives an acoount
of a man going into an implement
house there to inspect some bug-
gies with a view of buying one.
After looking at some buggies
and pricing them, the man said
that he could send to Chicago and
beat that price. The implement
dealer told the prospective buyer
that he had a buggy upstairs, a
better grade than the Chicago
buggy, for less money. The
prospective customer asked to
see the buggy. “No, you can’t
see it,” said the dealer. “You
don't see the Chicago buggy be-
fore buying and you send lnonev
in advance. You can’t see mv
buggy until you pay me the cash. ”
The man saw the point, purchase!
a good bnggy and went away with
a resolve to patronize his own
town thereafter. And the same
philosophy applies to every man
who is a victim of the mail order
disease, W 0 could mention cases
very much to point to show that
men who largely owe their pres-
ent standing to kindnesses extend-
ed by the home merchant are now
forgetful of these favors. The
mail order houses do not contrib-
ute one cent toward the support
of your institutions, nor do tli„y
give yon any better values for
your cash than you can £ot at
hme. f

A Letter From the Depart-
ment Giving Instructions
for Further Carrying
on the Work.
Dec. 21, 1906.
Mr. H. H. McGowan,
Snyder, Okla.
Dear Sir:
A telegram from you, dated
St. Joseph, Mo., Dec. 18, has
been received as follows:
"Approximately sixty thousand
acres signed up ou Navajoe
project.’’
The energy and activity display
by yourself and your association
iu pushing the Navajoe project is
highly appreciated, and I regret
Inhuman Human.
A man by the name of I. T.
Jones. 46 years of age, was ar-
rested Wednesday on thecharge
of attempting to rape a little five
yearoldgi 1. At his preliminary
examination, before Judge Logan
sufficient evidence was produced
to bind him over to the grand
jury.
I This paper is in favor of the
enforcement of law by the legal
to* constituted nuthorties when
there is a penalty commensurate
with the crime. In this case it
seems there could only be one
reasonable penalty. One man
waa heard to remark: “There is
a place for auch flenda as this
and the sooner wa put them in
it the better. ” Yes, there is a
place and that place is hell.

and it is doubtful if the Depart-
ment would approve undertaking
tho project when it can ohly be
partially completed.
2 Tli« Clkt will be certainly
wver $40 atid probably over $45
per acre, which I understand to be
a higher figure than the lands cau
stand,in the opinion of the major-
ity of the owners.
3 The waters in their natural
state contain too large a percent-
age of salt to be used with salty
upon tho lauds in question. It is
known to be possible, and believed
to be feasible, to divert the major
portion of this salt into the South
I ork of Bed ltiver and reduce the
percentage to a limit which would
ho safe for irrigation water, but
this again would increase tho cost
os it iuvulves a long series of ob-
servations upon all tributm ies to
determine just what effect the
diversion of any tributary from
the basin would have upon the
total results.
1 his last point will require so
much time iu determination that
it is probable the lirst obstacle
would lie removed by the growth
of the fund by the time it could
he settled, but we would still have
the second difficulty.
1 he decision on this project is
io close that tho engineers did
not feel like reecomeudiug either
that the project be rejected as in-
feasible, or that it lie adopted for
immediate construction. Further
investigations, however, can de.
eide these points. I cannot nl
preseut give you any more defi-
nito information; but recognising
the good faith iu which you and
your ]n ople have workefl, it occurs
tome yon are eutitled to the
fnlhmt information now available.
