such organization should increase the
cost of farm produce to the consumer,
for this is unnecessary. But there is

fair return for his labor.
The subject is too large to treat ex-
haustively in one item, for there are
many essential things to do to make
such an organization a success. The
idea Is worth serious consideration,
but 1t must be based on business prin-

be done to win success: Every mem.

should be marketed on their merits.
In other words, the grower of infe-
rior fruit or any other crop, must not
expect to share equally with the man

to do"
Thus spoke the captain of the life
saving station to the man on the look
out.
Night had already closed in and the
captain of the life saving station knew
a storm was coming. He was at the
station below the rocks and could not
see out on the ocean but had called to
the man stationed on the hill to verify
the evidence of the storm. The instru-
msnts at the station indicated a storm,
but the rising, surging, slashing, crack
ing breakers on the rocks gave a more
formidable warning to the experienced
life saver.
1t is the same old story at the mouth
of the Columbia. From fall until
spring, throughout the long winter
months, the storms rage with unceas-
ing fury. Three days Of storm and one

1t was late in the afternoon. The
storm had again subsidized. The men
on the island decided to take advant-
age of the northsiders while they were
ashore and destroy their traps.
The northsiders were quick to see
this and hustling their arms and am
munition aboard they leaped into the
boats along the beach and rowed with
all their might to the defense of their
cause.
The southsiders also started out
briskly to peat them to the traps. The
latter bad slight advantage in dis
lance but their opponents were refresh
ed by warm meal and many Of them
had secured few hours sleep.
The small fleet on either side was di-
vided into squadrons as if by common
arrangement, and while one squad made
for the defense of group of traps along
the line which stretched up and down
the river channel on the bay side, a
squad from the other side started for
the same point to destroy them.
In the meantime reintorcements were
gathering on the south shore, for the
southsiders outnumbered the men on
the north, and war to finish was now
more imminent than ever.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Sankala Listens to the Plotters

Sankala had hard battle with the
surf but she reached the traps formerly
tended by Dan Lapham before the
storm was at it's heighth. Dan, of
course, was not near the place. The
wind was already raging and the white
caps were multiplying at a rapid rate
and leaping higher and higher.
At her back the sea was boiling like
a caldron while to the south it was
not so much disturbed. Her home lay
across the raging sea while Sand Island
lay to the south. 1t was this great up
heavel of sand and the driftwood upon
it's surface that broke the storm to
some extent and yet left means Of es-
cape for Sankala.
But she would not have returned to
her home at this time had the sea been
as calm as an inland lake. She had
started out on a mission and this would
she complete with a woman's deter
mination. She was looking for Dan
Lapham. Her strong and handsome
young friend had aided her in fishing
the traps when her aged companion
was unable to assist. He had also, on
that very morning, left her money
with which to buy necessary supplies;
he had promised her that Ringwold
should not go to the poor house; and
above all there was an underlined feel
ing in her heart for the young man
which only comes to woman once in
lifetime.
Sankala did not understand this and
would have blushed had it been ex-
planned. 1t was the same old story
which has caused the joys, sorrows,
disappointment and happiness since
the days of Adam and Eve.
While clinging to the piling which
held the netting of Lapham's fishtrap,
to steady her boat, Sankala could see
that the water was rapidly rising and
that each food dashed higher above the
mark made by the former wave. The
pillows grew darker and more sullen
while the whitecaps looked like great
animals leaplng at random in the di-
rection of the bar.
Before it was too late she turned her
boat toward the island, where she
landed without accident. But she was
just in time, for old Neptune's work
farther out at sea was telling and
great waves from the mighty deep came
rolling over the bay, converting 1t into
a mad, seething thing of destruction.
The rain began to fall in torrents.
The wind blew with such force as to
send the cold diops like heavy shots
in slanting course through the air.
These struck the thinly clad girl with
force that made her shiver with pain
and cold.
When cast upon her own resources
in time OF danger, woman is said to be
superior to man in courage and endur.
ance. Before she resigns herself &c
fate, she employs every means in hel
power to thwart it's disasters. If she
cannot turn its comse, she goes with
it as a companion. Death is thus
made less bitter and an example il
given to the world.
Sankala dragged her boat as fai a,
she could and then tied the long lin.
attached to its prov to limb of ire,
which had been cast far upon the
sands. She began to look about her fol
J shelter. She remembered an ole
fsherman's camp farther up the is
land, and taking the provisions which
she had prepared for Dan, she mad,
I her way to the shack.

CHAPTER XYI-Continued.
Hufhor of Lord of the Desert" Oregon Sketches,
and other Pacific Coast Stories

The island was soon reached and
the man taken ashore. The morning
was crisp and cold and fire of drift
wood was kindled for the comfort of
the wounded man and his companions.
AS the day Jagged away the man grew
worse. Dan was his most attentive
nurse. In the afternoon he persuaded
his companions that it would be better
to take the wounded man to his home.
They agreed upon this but they did
not know what to do with their pris-
oner. On the southside they could not
hold him, and if they left him on the
island he might be compelled to re-
main for several days without assist
ance. They wanted him to accompany
them to thier homes, but Dan bad mat
tiers of more importance demanding his
attention on the north side. He told
them 10 leave him on the island and he
would take his chances on reaching
shore.
The fishermen pulled out with theii
wounded companion, reluctantly leav-
ing Dan behind.
Throughout the day Lapbam walked
up and down the island viewing his
friends and enemies as they lay on
their oars in threatening attitudes.
He managed, however, to keep con-
cealed behind the driftwood from his
enemies, while he was too far away to
be distinguished by his friends.
He had searched the island from one
end to the other for boat. but the
southsiders had intended making this a
sort of prison had they carried out their
original plans and had removed every
semblance of craft from the place.
Besides the island had always been
a sort of neutral ground and since the
quarrel had begun, neither side at
tempted to occupy it and all fishing APP
paratus and supplies had been taken
away by the respeo tive owners.
AS night came on, Dan became more
anxious to reach the north shore. He
wondered how many of his friends had
fallen under the fire OF the southsiders,
and wondered more how Sankala wae
faring.
Old Seadog was too much absorbed in
the trouble at hand to carry out his
plan of taking Sankala and Ringwold
TO the county poor farm, but he knew
the girl was worrying her young life
away over the outlook for the future
and possibly by this time, so far as he
knew, she was grieving by the bedside
of the deceased Ringwold.
The impatient young fisherman could
remain an exile no longer. He con-
structed raft from planks and timbers
which had lodged ON the shores of the
island and with pieces of planks used
as poles and paddles he started for the
main shore.
Before his work had been completed,
however, night had long since fallen
over the waters and a storm was brew
ing.

the wave and current ON the bar greet.

Small Yards for Poultry.

When 1t is not possible to supply a
range OF considerable size for the
fowls and they must be practically
kept In yards, an excellent plan Is to
divide the yard into two or three sec
tons, according to its size, and treat
them in the following manner: Plow
or spade each yard, and in one or two,
If divided into three spaces. plant some
early vegetables that will require some
cultivation radishes, for example
When the crop Is taken out. turn the
fowls into this yard and plant the
others in the same way. When the
yards are divided into three, one of
them may be prepared thoroughly and
grass seeds or oats or mlllet sown In
It, with the vegetables in the second
yard, while the fowls occupy the third.
When the grass or small grain gets
two or three inches high, turn the
fowls In this yard and SOW the soil in
the yard they occupied, In like man

out the grass lot, the one in which the
vegetables are grown will be ready for
them to scratch over 1t is surprising
