moving spirit in an ambitious undertaking for the reclama
tion of a large tract of arid land in central Oregon. For this
purpose his company had obtained storage rights on the De
schutes river above Bend, and had constructed a test dam to
determine the feasibility of impounding water under these
rights. The test was a success, and many thousands of acre
feet of water were held back; No steps toward utilization of
the water on the land had been commenced.
Hien there came a year of comparative water shortage,
and existing irrigation- projects and power companies were
in serious straits. ' v..,-;-.

If s a long story, one which ramifies into the realms of
city pontics, and state politics as represented by the 1925
legislative session, but the upshot of it was that Bend bought
some questionable water rights and sought to trade them for
clear, sparkling water from Tumalo creek liquid identical
with that which has rested in a jug on the desk of Speaker
Hamilton in the house this session. This step embroiled the
city in controversy with the irrigation district which owned
the Tumalo creek water originally. Bend finally paid dearly

There has been a strike at an underwear knitting plant

So Many Minutes of Character
FTW& house passed a bill making the teaching of character
JL a required subject, with a certain portion of time to be
alloted it. If the senate concurs in this foolishness we may
then expect teachers to conduct classes in "character.
"Attention, children. Now we shall have 15 minutes in
cteiracier building," the school teacher will say,
After that we can't guess what she can say. It would
be a sort of warmed-over Sunday School lesson without any
picture cards or merit badges, . ,
There are plenty of ways and opportunities to teach
character, in school without measuring it out in daily or week
ly medicinal doses. Moreover, the theory of legislative cur
. nculum building is wrong. Even school boards do not try
to prepare courses of study for the schools. They leave such
things to the professional educators subject to the approval
of the hoards.
The statute books are cluttered up enough now with
prescriptions as to, what to teach and how much to teach of
special subjects. Every one with a pet hobby was to get it
into the school course. The shortest way is by having a leg
islature cram it down the throats of teachers and pupils.
The senate ought to torn down this house bill on char
acter teaching. It would show little "character" of its own
if it did. , - - " '

CHAPTER XXXIX
GEORGE ceased to come to see
Betty in the evenin, and al
though he purchased a small
car, had oniy once "
a drive. He was so completely ab
sorbed In his business it was al
most impossible to talk to him on
any other subject.
The red-haired waitress, aiary
Roberts, was always near nun.
Betty thought she was either in
love with George or the business,
and was trying to marry George
to get it. Whenever George came
to the desk and started a conver
sation with Betty, the red-headed
girl would find some matter of
business which would either take
him away or at least divert his at
tention. Betty watched this comedy with
amused eyes. So long as she had
her position, and knew she was
making good at It, she was willing
the girl should marry George If
ho liked. Marrying George was, to
Betty, a duty she would be glad
to shirk, if it was possible.
George a restaurant was not pa
tronised by the Jaxz crowd Betty
knew In t he night club where she
had danced. With the single excep
tion of the dancer from the Iron
Door, she had seen none of them.
She was made aware that some of
them had seen her.
One young man whom she had
learned was Mr. Thomas, ate his
dinners in the restaurant regular
ly. She had seen him often enough
to exchange a casual word now
and then. One night ho dawdled
late over his dinner until he saw
Betty begin to balance the cash
register for the night, and then
hurried over, apologizing for
keeping her.
"It is quite all right." said Bet
ty, agreeably. "I can balance and
leave the last two or three checks
on tomorrow's business. I often
have to do that."
1 "But I delayed you." He spoke
contritely. "I have my car at the
door. If you want me to believe
I am forgiven, let me drive you
home."
"Oh, I wouldn't think of troub
ling you Mr. Thomas."
"It s not a trouble but a pleas

"No, I hadn't thought anything
of the kind. If you really want to
wait a moment I wll lbe glad to
have you drive me home."
"Fine. I'll wait out front and
smoke till you come. I'll honk the
horn when I see you come out."

When she reached the door of

the car. Suddenly it occurred to
her he did not know she was lame.
"Must we go right home?! he
asked. '
"I have nothing to do - and am
tired as I can be. but I'd love to

wered. "IH go down by the rirer;

favorite drive. They had driven
and parked along it so many times.
Betty was embarrassed, remem
bering the kisses she had had from
Andy there. "Please," she said
"let's not go there! Drive in some
other direction, if you don't
mind."
"With you beside me I don't
care where I drive!" he laughed.
He turned the car and headed out
into the country.
Out of the city he took off his
hat and tossed it Into the rear

ting her auburn hair fly in the

open windshield. The car sped
along a country road, Betty en
joying it immensely. Suddenly

"I was In an automobile acci

passed another car. That was the
first time since then that I had
driven past another car at any
speed;"
"Were you hurt?" he asked, In

"Both my legs were thrown out
of joint at the knee. One is stiff
yet," she explained.
"Was that what made you stop
dancing?" he asked.
"Dancing?" How did you know
I ever danced?"
"I saw you several times at the
Iron Door. I always wanted to
know you. I didn't say anything
about it at the restaurant because
I didn't know if Old Sobersides
