who lounged close by to confirm her In
what she said.
NO" he reiterated. mo Jan Is
here"
Ii was useless to argue, and Clayton
turned homeward with feeling Of de-
feat, when, perched on a fence near
where he had first seen her, he espied
Jan.
'I've been to find you at the camp"
he said, "and they told me there was
no such person.
"They told you that?' She threw
back her head, and her brown throat
shook with :snghtee.

farmhouse that he remembered that
he had meant to ask her about his fu-

that he had forgotten It, The next two
days II rained. and on the third he
found the gypsy camp deserted. A
charred spot marked the place where
their fires had been. and that was all.
They had vanished as silently as they
had come.
And no one seemed to know what
trail had been taken. Clayton was dis
appointed to the verge Of moodiness.
Try as he would, he could not drive
Jan from his thoughts. Now he pictur-
ed her walking down the road, erect
and graceful; now he fancied her
crouching by the fire at night and
probably with Zingare opposite,
thought which made him grind bis
teeth. Again and again Miss Alyard
passed him In her high red cart but he
would not so much as turn to look.
What were all the heresses In the
world compared to what he had lost?

WHAT CHURCHES ARE DOING
TODAY IN SAGEBRUSTI STATE

p, izing the fact that there were among
their foremost workers men whose work
was not for the things o. the body, hu;
| for the things of the soul, this would
not be nation today, because this
would not be an abode for civilized
| men,
While the times of scattered popu-
lation and fevered mining excitement
have not been SO favorable to religious
permanent churches, as was the case in
the agricultural communities OF the
East. yet earnest. selfsacrifeing relig
ious effort has been expended among
the people of Nevada from the time
of the coming of the first settlers, and
this effort has horne fruit for good.
Many early Nevadans brought to

| training of a Christian home. The
pocket Testament was treasured by a
| large portion of the men who trailed
across the prairie, OF came to the State
by way of Panama. Pioneer preachers
followed the early miners from camp
to camp, sharing their privations and
adapting themselves. to any place or
all. The missionary boards of the diff
ferent denominations have literally
given from their treasures that Neva-
da might have a part in the training
and opportunity inherited from the de-
voted, noble pioneers of Plymouth rock.
The wisdom and value of this early pic.
neer effort is now revealed. Men and
women coming to the NEW Nevada !"
to make a home and educate their chill.
dren are pleased to find established
church and such opportunities for
worship and service as they enjoyed in
their Eastern homes. A great demand
for churches, ministers and large ex-
penditures for the expansion of relig
ious work no wfaces the different
churches at work in this State. The
future wealth and population of Neva..
da is now assured. The experiences of
the early days, when churches were
built only to find the community. de-
serted for some new camp is not likely
to be repeated. Mines fabulously rich
in many minerals and thousands of
acres OF farm lands made possible by
the magic of irrigation, already speak
elouuently of the coming commonwealth
with a nightly population, where. the
Christian church shall have its right
full place in conserving the morals, en-
richfng the social life, and maintain
ing the highest ideals.
Nevada has maintained a reputation
for generosity, she has stood for large
heartedness and true hospitality. These
are good foundations for benevolence
and spirituality. Those who have had
a part in the upbuilding of our re-
ligious institutions have given liber-

time wave of religious interest seems
to encircle the globe. A new spirit
of practical piety has come into the
churches and it seems inconceivable to
those who know Nevada best and love
her most that Nevada should be i'm

esying that our State will not only be

Want the Road.

Residents of Alsea VALLEY are very
anxious to strike upon scheme whereby
they may be enabled to build what will
prove a good winter road over Alsea
Mountain. Wade Malone was in Corval-
lis, Saturday, looking into the problem
and seeing what may be accomplished
under the law
Attorney E. r. Bryson was consulted
and he finds that the residents CT any
road district can go ahead and build a
highway and then pay for it by voting a
tax upon their real estate. The levy must
be made upon the land within two miles
of the road built. This has not been The
object of the Alsea people. They desire
to bond their district in order to raise
funds at once. Mr.. Bryson, while of the
opinion that law granting this privilege
would be wise and proper, finds no au-
thority under the statutes granting such
procedure.
The county court has been consulted
in the matter and is disposed to help in
every way possible when feasible plan
shall have been adopted. That the resi-
dents of Alsea are badly in need of this
road goes without saying. A good VIM
ter road across this mountain would
benefit residents of the entire county.

MATRON'S PART.

The killing of George H.
Mitchell by his sister, Esther
Mitchell, suggests criminal neg
ligence somewhere. On all
hands the mental condition of
Miss Mitchell was known to have
been such as to cause apprehen-
sion. If she really was unbal-
anced on religion she was dan
gerohs, if she was just purely
vicious she was no less danger
Gus. The same must be said of
Mrs. Crefield. To allow either
to possess a revolver was to
make it possible for them to
commit a crime. Any way one
looks at the matter it is apparent
that their mental condition was
such that they were dangerous,
From reports sent out it seems
that the police matron at the
Seattle bastlie sympathized with
these young women while they
were in her charge. This seems
a very indiscreet act on the part
Of the matron and one she should
have been wiser than to commit.
To what degree did her sympa-
thy count in the killing of
George Mitchell? It may have
cut quite a figure to judge from
what is reported.
