acknowledged receipt of the informa

"Were!" cried the Colonel. 81 am, sir

in his chair and shook his head sad

murmured. "This news comes with
appalling suddenness."
"Mr. Montfort Herbert" resumed
Guy, "was my father"
sYour father!' The Colonel strug.
gled to his feet, rushed upon Guy
and wrenched his hand powerfully
my dear boy, this would be a happy
moment for me were you not the
bearer of such sorrowful news" The
Colonel dropped Guys hand, reached
behind him to the tails of his coat
and brought forth large bandanna
handkerchief. Applying this to his
eyes, he proceeded to pace the mar
row confines of the sanctum while
rallying from the blow.
Guy was surprised at this mani.
festation of feeling. He was aware
that his father had known Col. Keev-

entire charge of the town, he was
on the point of dispensing with the
managers services at the time his
last illness came upon him.

the Colonel recovered the paper

laid both paper weight and handker-

CHAPTER I.

Guy Herbert arrived in Concord,
Dakota Territory, on the noon train.
AS soon as he had removed the stains
of travel and eaten his luncheon, he
made haste to inquire his way to the
office of the Concord Blizzard. The
Blizzard was reckoned very potential
power throughout Dakota, and not to
have heard of it was synonymous with
being a stranger in that part of the
country. A man named Keever-Col.
Archibald Keever, if you please-pre-
sided over the destinies of the Blizzard.
He was also the guiding hand that
manipulated the affairs of the Con-
cord Townsite Company in those
booming times of 's5. Guy had to do
with the Colonel on matters pertain
ing to the town, weighty matters SO
far as Guy was concerned.
The building that harbored the
sanctum and its accompanying "plant"
was an unsightly two-story structure
covered with tar paper held in place
by strips of lath. A fight of crazy
stairs chung to the outside, and Guy,
somewhat doubtful of their stability,
laid hold of the hand rail and assembled
cautiously. AT the landing above he
turned sharply to the left and was
confronted by door bearing this
printed placard:
Office of the Blizzard
Fearless Champion of the Rights of Man,
In General,
And of the Republican Party,
IN PARTICULAR.

There is talk of pulling off u race

only one meeting has been had in Du-

''I'm not going to make spy out of
myself"
"Tush! tush! You're not doing any
thing dishonorable. I'd cut my tongue
out before I'd counsel anything of tina
kind. You're a high minded young
mani can see that at a glance and I
admire you for it. But those fellows
on the other side of the county are
blackguards, every one of them. They
are laying their plans to steal the coun-
ty seat away from you and all you are
to do is to discover what their plans
are, if possible, SO we may balk them
in their nefarious attempt. My boy,
you have something like 1000 lots in
this town. That means fortune for
you if we can keep the county seat.
If we lose the county seat your lots will
be worth just what they'll bring for
farming purposes, and no more. Nor
is that the worst of it. Let Harmony
win in this election and every man,
woman and child now living in Concord
will pull up stakes and move over to the
other town.
"They wouldn't leave their home
and their places of business, would
they?" queried Guy, aghast.
''Not much they wouldn't leave 'em
they'd take 'em along. You could
put wheels under the national capitol
and move it along a hundred miles over
these prairies without Earring out a
brick or chunk of mortar. My word
for it, Mr.. Herbert, let Harmony win

coop left TO mark the site of the pres
ent town of Concord"

A. o. of S. f.

The American Order OF Steam.
Engineers is an organization Of engineers,
for engineers and engineers only. Its
purpose is to obtain by systematic
effort proper and just recognition OF
the value OF the steam engineer to the
community, and by education to so
enlighten it's members that their in.
fluence and prestige may be extended
for the general betterment Of the profess
sion, and to so elevate the dignity Of the
calling as to command proper recogni-
ton and the respect OF all men.
The day has passed when the man,
whose knowledge Of steam engineering
does not extend beyond the starting and
stopping ofsn engine, can call himself
an engineer, and in recognition Of this
fact, the A. o. OF s. L. declares 1t to be
Its first purpose to promote more
thorough knowledge In its members Of
the theory and practice Of steam
engineering.
The A. U. OF s. Il. has incorporated
as part OF its purposes ITO help the sick
injured and distressed aud bury the
dead; to establish widows and
orphans fund; to help members who
may become incspacitated from following
the profession TO obtain employment
suited to their aflliction !"
The recognized danger that is attend
ant upon the operation and manage
ment Of steam boilers and engines has
demonstrated that in order to protec
the lives and property OF the public 1t II
necessary that the State should exercis,
some supervision over these unusua
elements Of danger, therefore the A. o
Of s. L. pledges itself to exert its in
fluence to secure the passage Of law
regulating the employment and licens
ing Of steam engineers.

Bailey In Southern Oregon.

Food and Dairy Commissioner Bailey
has returned from Southern Oregon
where he inspected the dairies and
creameries, and incidentally investi-
gated the sale Of short-weight butter,
says the Oregonian. In speaking OF his
trip, Mr.. Baily said that in his visits to
the stores he found no butter below the
legal weight.
"Since the agitation against short
weight butter began" he said, South
Oregon has enjoyed the full roll, and
California, which largely supplies the
market at this season Of the year, has
been shut out, as it's rolls do not meet
the scale. The short weight move
ment has greatly pleased the merchants,
for it relieves them Of the necessity oi
taking farm butter in trade. The farm
butter comes in all weights, and hereto
fore the merchants have had to accept
it or lose the farmers trade. Now he
may reject it and lay the responsibility
or the rejection upon the State Food
and Dairy Commissioner.
AFTER visiting the dairies and cream
eries, | stopped at the homes of some OF
the orchardists OF Jackson county, and
inquired about the fruit prospects, and
received some information which should
be given to the people Of Portland. One
OF the largest orchardists in the county
showed me an account, according to
which variety OF apples grown in Jack
son county and in the Watsonvllle dis
trict, California, were sold in London
England, on the same day. The Ore
gon apples brought l3 shillings and
sixpence, and the California fruit
shilllngs-a higher mark than 0regon'i
superiority over her southern neighbors
has ever before reached.
"New orchards are being set out and
in my opinion trees will be planted on
about 1000 acres this spring.
Zone great need OF Southern Oregon
is an apple cider and vinegar factory
Enough apples to supple the whole
state with cider and vinegar go tC
waste every year. One firm OF orchar
dsts, on 100 acres of trees, planted II
years ago, cleared $40, 900 net this year
and yet acres OF apples went to waste. y
