The only proviso remaining to be settled Is that the tests of actual surveys and measurements of the proposed water supplies shall prove the practicability of the project, and there is hardly a doubt entertained by either State Engineer Doremus or the government engineers who have examined it that the scheme is entirely practicable. The scheme as presented by the state engineer is, In brief, as follows: The building of a dam from fifty to 100 feet In height to convert Strawberry valley Into a reservoir having sufficient capacity to hold all the waters that can be practically diverted into It from the several branches of the Duchesne river. The excavation of a channel thirty to fifty miles long, following about the t contour by which to Intercept the said waters of the Duchesne river and convey them Into the Strawberry valley storage reservoir.

"Theres Harry Courtwry, for instance. Ive always adored Harry a little. But last night at the Crowders dance he opened my eyes to his real nature; me completely, he disillusionized continued Mae, pathetically, "and hes every bit as bad as all the root of the gormandizing creatures, and theyre all nothing but stuffing plgh." "Why what did he do? asked Sadie. "Of course you know how devoted hes been all winter to that little flirt, Gladys Wlllmot? Mae began the explanation of her woes. assented Sadie, with a searching glance. Well, her engagement to Charlie Geddap was unexpectedly announced last night. It was right after my dance with Harry, when we were told of it, and, Sadie, he couldn't have had the slightest suspicion of anything of the kind, the deceitful minx! for I could feel him quiver from the shock and he grew so white that I honestly thought he would faint. I was awfully, awfully sorry for him. so I got him away from the crowd into a secluded nook In the conservatory, where no one could see his anguish. And I Just talked, and talked, and talked a steady stream to him until I Just could not talk any more, and then, Sadie, what on earth do you suppose that wretch said? demanded Mae tragically. Oh, you couldnt ever guess In a million million years. After all my sympathy and sorrow u tender solicitude, too; it was: I Miss Gabbler, lets go get some suj, per.

The careless way In which large packages of bank notes were tossed through the windows of the New York postofflee this week for transmission to points has excited the wonder of persons familiar with the risks involved and the sums at stake. The movement Is specially heavy Just now, aggregating from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 a week, and including consignments from most of the large banks and banking houses in the city. The currency Is sent everywhere in single packages containing $10,000 or less, protected by policies of Insurance protecting the owners against every possible hazard at rates varying from 15 cents to 80 cents per $1,000 of currency Insured. Most of the notes are $3, $10 and $20 denominations, besides supplies of ones and twos for use as hand-thand money for crop movement purposes. These transfers go to all sections of the United States, Canada, Great Britain and to continental points.
