let the water run off. By that time
the sentry had turned and walked
back, the butt of his long gun rim gfng
on the tagged walk. Diclfy. skulking
behind the water butt, waited until
the sentry had come within six feet
of him. turned and marched to the
other end of the courtyard. AS soon
as it was safe Dicky pulled the stopcock
out and the water trickled quietly away.
Then, with an activity born of climbing
over the rigging of a ship, Dicky
slipped into the water butt. pulled the
cover over him noiselessly and sat
down cross legged. He shivered in
a feeling of exhilaration in his heart,
Like many persons who by great labor
manage to place themselves in GER
tain position and are anxious to get
out of it, Dicky began to consider that
getting out of the water butt by day
light was much more serious than get
ting in it in the darkness.
Then he had an illumination; it was
from those water butts that Salvatore
filled the water jugs he brought the
midshipmen at o'clock in the morn
ing. Dicky could have shouted aloud
with joy when this reflection came to
him. He had still nearly three hours
to wait before Salvatore appeared The
night had been lowering, and toward
dawn the rain came down in sheets
Dicky was drenched to the bone, but
he was so full of excitement he scarcely
knew it,
About $50 he heard the rattle of
Salvatore's earthen jugs. AS the
Neapolitan turned the cock of the water
butt in which Dicky lay hid he was
startled by seeing the cover of the butt
moving, a pair of black eyes gazing at
him and Dicky's voice whispering:
Sally, oh, Sally"
Poor Salvatore was so astonished at
the contents of the water butt that he
stood perfectly still. but Dicky had
carefully rehearsed what he intended
TO say, and whispered to him rapidly:
Can't you get the water from some
where else and bring me something to
eat and keep me from being caught
until night timer, Then I can slip out
and get through the courtyard, l think"
Salvatore. completely staggered by
this bold plan, could only cape at first,
but, recovering his senses. he whis-
pered:
II will do what 1 can"
Then, going to the next water butt he
proceeded to fill his jugs and carry
them in. The first time he returned he
managed to drop unseen through the
top of the water butt a piece of bread
and some dates. his own breakfast
When Dicky began munching them
with midshipman's appetite his spirits
grew jubilant and he considered him
self already successfully escaped.
In the meantime Dicky's absence had
been discovered by Captain cambridge

acclamation Dicky raised the top of
the water butt, slipped out and walked
off coolly toward the gate of the court
yard. No one looked at him particu-
larly, not even the sentry at the sally,
port. The man was a dull fellow and
after a careless glance at the Tripolitan
uniform took no further notice of him.
Dicks first impulse was to bolt some
where as fast as he could run, but he
observed the slow and measured gait
of the people in the streets and so
walked very deliberately along. In
three minutes he saw ahead of him
dark and narrow side street, the win
dows almost meeting overhead. All of
the men in Tripoli were assembled in
the main thoroughfare. watching for
the appearance of the bashaw on his
way in state to the mosque. so that
the smaller streets were completely de-
serted. Dicky looked about him and
saw only the iron bars and heavily
barred doors of the houses from which
the women were forbidden so much as
to look. He had confident hope that
some foreign vessel would be in the
harbor, and he was willing to take his
chances of swimming out to it. But his
best hope Of reaching it would be by
night. and therefore he must conceal
himself during the day.
After half an hours investigation of
the small deserted side streets. he found
one which led indirectly to the harbor
Then he searched for place to conceal
himself until nightfall. Along one side
of the street ran a high stone wall.

be seen the tops of trees and luxuriant
shrubs. A high wall afforded very
slight obstacle to midshipman accus-

ship, and Dicky was on the wall in less

In reference to Hon. Glen P. McKin1ys inter
view, repubished in last weeks Scimtar the Coeur
dAlene Press has this to say editorialy:
In another column we publish an interview from
Glen P. McKiny, practcing attorney at Twin
Falls, Idaho in which he covers two very important
questions, relating to the Mormon issue and the
other regarding the removal of the agricultural
college to Mormondom by act of the next legislature
1t will be remembered that the Mormons put out
feelerS and sounded the question of removing the
college from Moscow at the last session of the leg
1slature and there much agitation of the matter
in the southern counties just after the fire which
destroyed the university The agitation has been
revived and we have doubt the matter will be
pushed forward at the session of the legislature next
winter. The people, especially of the north would
protest against such move, because it means the
weakening of leading educational institution and
fight between the two for appropriations; would
necessitate two faculties, with practically the same
studies and prove otherwise Instantaneous to the
people But under present conditions the people of
the north the tail of the south Idaho kite and
might be powerless to resist successfully such
move 1t would not be the first time they have been
outraged.
On the Mormon question Mr.. McKinly speaks from
a knowledge of the actual conditions and saws that
most of the Republicans in Twin Falls county will
vote the Democratic ticket if the Mormon question
is an ISSUE because they are acquainted with the
facts and conditions. The interview should be read
by all who are interested in the question.
Why is there not danger of this being done by the

THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

Elder Mcconnell was a strong preacher, pro-
found in his logic forceful in his delivery intense in
his belief, sarcastic of utterance and excessively de-
vout in his belief of the necessity of baptism by i'm
merson.
Rev. Wheat equally strong in his view of the
orthodox principles of John Wesley Methodism,
hence firm advocate of the suficiency of baptism
by the sprinkling ordinance
Early one winter Elder Mcconnell announced his
intention to deliver series of ten sermons on the
accuracy of baptism by immersion and invited all
religious people of the village to hear his arguments
His audiences were large and attentive and his
guments clear and convincing. After few even
1ngs his sermons begun to tell and afternoon
after the delivery of one of his powerful sermons,
Rev. Wheat met Elder Mcconnell on the street and
told him that three of the sisters of his church had
become bothered to the manner of their BAPTISM
that they were and expected to remain devou Meth
odists, but that they desired to be immersed. He
explained that the Methodsts had no baptistry;
that it cold and mile distant to the river; that
he (Wheat) not skilled in the immersion cere-
mony; had no clothing suited to carry out the
dnance and closed by asking if he, (McConnelD
would not mmerse these three women
Elder Mcconnell made reply EYES, Brother
Wheat, going to administer the ordinance of
baptism Sunday evening in baptstry, under the
pulpit at the close of the service and if your sisters
are there, we will attend to them"
At the appointed time, the Methodist women were
present, and they duly immersed as promised
Elder McConnelPs sermons on immersion as the
correct form of baptism continued and in two or three
days Wheat again met him the street and said:
elder Mack, two more of my sisters want to be
immersed, and | would like to have you do me
second favor"
Elder Mcconnell scowled, and he had face like
a deep May thunder cloud, when he knit his brows,
and this was his reply:
"Well, Brother Wheat send them over Sunday
evening and will attend to them as they should be
oaptised, but l tell you this, Brother Wheat I am
getting mighty tired taking in washing for the
Methodists here in this town."

Mormons, if they in control, they were at the
last session of the Idaho Legislature?
If it ordained from Utah. with the Brady
and Company element in office, why not remove the
agricultural college Southeastern IDAHO as threat
ened?
The Mormons are fond of agricultural colleges
They receive regular annual donation from the
Government.
All this recalls an instance of what Mornons will
do with power
Not many years since they indicted into office one
Prof. Tanner as President of the Logan, (Utah)
Agricultural College Tanner was able and smart
and lcentous and ruled that institution with an iron
hand -and, betmes, divided his affections between
three wives with whom he lived in peaceful, pro-
tected po1ygamy, while the young men and young
women of Utah and of Idaho (for more than 100
students from Idaho attended that institution under
his regime) made regular obeisance to him as their
President.
Finally the Government learned through some
"accursed CD American" some vile "spotter" or
Gas the Idaho edition of the Deseret News-the
Capital News-woud put it, "some man who desired
to dscredit the high standard of citizenship of the
growing west" that this po1ygamist was ruling over
the Utah State Agricultural College where these
hundreds of young women and young men we're being
supported partly at Government expense and the
Government through its Department of Justice served
notice the Utah Agricultural College Board to
eject this representative of the barbartes of past
dark ages or that the usual twenty thirty thous-
and dollars donation would be withheld.
Tanner was at once deposed, only to be taken up
by the heads of the Mormon church and steadily
advanced in ecclesiastical circles until he was at the
head of the Juvenile classes of all Mormondom,
here to shine beacon light; an example worthy
If devout emulation by the rising generations in the
Mormon church.
But those who would ally the politics of Idaho
With these Mormon people would condone and pro-
ect and comfort such doings and after their accomp
ishment would studiously and devoutly apologize
or them in the of religion
If such thing as the removal of this Idaho Agri-
ultural College to Southeastern Idaho, should OBJ
ain, and should the course of the institution there
e marked by the experience of the Utah Agrcul-
1ral College in the past perhaps that portion of the
North Idaho population who are now Sleeping"
eacefully with deafened to existing conditions
nd tendencies in Mormonism would recognize it
a case of "Too Bad" but "Too Late"

The Emmett Bench Land Project.

Next week will occur the opening of the headgate
that will turn water into the Canyon Canal near
Emmett The Index of that growing city speaks
most encouragngly of the event, and congratulates
the management that the dam in the river above
their town has stood the test of the pressure of the
high water
OF all the irrigation projects in Idaho, this can
properly be reckoned as the "hoo-doo" project This
must not beaken a reflection, the Canyon Canal
Companys irrigation project is of the best in
Idaho, and the waters from the Payette river which
are being diverted by this special canal SYSTEM will
fine fruit land as lies anywhere in this sec
ton of Idaho
But since the Carey Act has been a law this pro-
ject has "hoo-dooed" great many people
The initial filing under the Carey Act in Idaho,
was made this land by DR.. Pickett of Des
Moines, Iowa, and many persons were disappointed
in the purchase of stock in this undertaking. through
out the State of Iowa. Nearly ten years ago his
rights were forfeited.
Soon thereafter Messers. Workman, Riggs Myers
and Plowman took hold of the scheme They tried
and tried again to finance it, but at that time there
was no particular confidence anywhere among monied
people in irrigation projects, and they failed
Their failure occurred in 1908, and thereupon the
third projectors of the scheme took it up headed by
Ex-Governor Hunt, deceased. The Governor
went at this plan with the usual energy that marked
his career, and finally associated with him such
splendid citizens George B. Rogers, DR.. Springer
and Robert Altman. This company of gentlemen
finally succeeded in financing the undertaking. selling
the lands and building the irrigation works
But just as they ready to look upon the full
fruition of their scheme, their mammoth headgate
went out. This about year ago, and as re-
suit all of the settlers under the project, which en-
braces about $4,000 of land compelled to
resort to dry farming during last year.
All of the land under this great project is occupied
and that the dam has stood the test of time is
matter of great congratulaton to these gentlemen.
There is question about the volume of water to
supply this ditch
More than fifteen years ago the Government took
for two three years, at point near
his dam and abandoned the Payette river for the
eason that the surplus waters passing their
