Rlckard Interrupted him. "I want an appropriation this morning for that amount. It is, in my opinion, absolutely necessary if we are to save the valley. We cannot afford not to do it, Mr. Hardin!" Hardin glared at the other men for support; he found MacLean's face a blank wall; Estrada looked uncomfortable. Babeock had pricked up his ears at the sound of the desired appropriation ; his head on one side, he looked like an Inquisitive terrier. Hardin spread out his hands in helpless desperation. "You'll ruin us," he said. "It's your money, the O. P.'s, but you're lending it, not giving it tc us. Ycu are going to swamp the Desert Reclamation company. We can'l throw funds away like that." One hundred thousand dollars! Why, he ccuW have stopped the river at any time li he had had that sum; once a paltry thousand would have saved them? "1 didn't ask the O. P. to come in and ruin us, but to stop the river; not to throw money away in hog-wild fash-j ion." He was stammering inarticulately. "There's no need of a spur-tracb If you rush my gate through." "If," Rickard nodded. "Granted. lij we can rush it through. Rut suppose it fails? Marshall shid the railroad would stand for no contingencies. The interests at stake are too vital?" "Interests!" cried Tom Ilardin. "What do you know of the interest al stake? You or your railroad? Comine in at the eleventh hour, what can you ^ know? Did you promise safety to thou ^Lsands of families if they made their ^Hiome? ir this valley? Are you respond fjBtle? Did you get up this company, in ^Fduce your friends to put their monej In it, promise to see them through? What do you know of the interests at stake? You want to put one hundred thousand dollars into a frill. God, do you Know wnat tnat means 10 my . company? It menns ruin?" Estrada pulled him down in his seat. Riekard explained to the directors j ke necessity in his opinion of the spur- ( track and the quarry. Rock in great; quantities would be needed; cars must be rushed in to the break. He urged the Importance of clenching the issue. "If it's not won this time, it's a lost cause," he maintained. "If it cuts a deeper gorge, the Imperial valley is a chimera; so is Laguna dam." The other men were drawn into the argument. Babcock leaned toward Hardin's conservation. MacLean was judicial. Estrada upheld Riekard. The spur-track, in his opinion, was essential to success. Hardin could see the meeting managed between the newcomer and the Mexican, and his anger impotently raged. His temper made him incoherent. He could see Riekard, cool and impersonal, adding to his points, and MacLean slowly won to the stronger side. Hardin, on his feet again, was sputtering helplessly at Babcock, when Riekard called for a vote. The appropriation was carried. ( Hardin's face was swollen with rage. Rickard then called for a report on j the clam-shell dredge being rushed at Yuma. Where was the machinery? Was it not to have been finished In February? "Why not get the machinery here? < What's the use of taking chances?" demanded Rickard. Hardin felt the personal implication. | He was on his feet in a second. "There are no chances." He looked at Mac-1 i Lean. "The machinery's done. It's no use getting it here until we're ready." "There are always chances," interrupted his opponent coolly. "We are going to take none. I want Mr. Har- ! din, gentlemen, appointed a committee f one to see that the machinery is delivered at once, und the dredge rushed." The working force was informally discussed. Hardin said tliey could depend on hobo labor. Rickard agreed that they would find such help, but it would not do to rely on it. The big ewer system of New Orleans was about completed; he bad planned to write there, 6tating the need. And there was a man in Zacatecas, named Porter? "Frank Porter?" sneered Ilardin, "that?murderer?" "His brother," Itiekard answered pleasantly. "Jim furnishes the men for the big mines in Sonora and Sinaloa. He'll send us all the labor we I want, the best for our purpose. When ! It gets red-hot, there'a no one like a Deep or an Indian. t (Tp be ton tinned.) v i 'notice of final discharge.
