"a note of infinite sadness which
held Jean Croisset. And just as
he thought that the thing had
died away, the wailing came again,
rising higher and higher, until at
last there rose over him a single
long howl that chilled the blood
to his very marrow. 1t was like
the wolf-howl of that first night
he had looked on the wilderness,
and yet unlike it; in the first it
had been the cry of the savage, of
hunger, of the unending desola-
ton of life that had thrilled him,
In this it was death. He stood
shivering as Croisset came down
to him, his thin face shining white
in the starlight. There was no
other sound save the excited beat
ing of life in their own bodies
when Jean spoke.
IN 'seur, our dogs howl like that
only when someone is dead or
about to die" he whispered. ut
was Woonga who gave the cry. He
has lived for eleven years and
have never known him to fail"
There was an uneasy CLEAN in
his eyes.

But l have given you my
word, Jean"
Your hands, M'seur There is
already death below us in the
plain, or it is to come very soon.
l must tie your hands"
Rowland thrust his wrist be-
hind him and about them Jean
twisted a thong of babeesh.,

spoke softly, listening again for
the chilling wall from the noun
tain top. you are afraid that |
will kill you"

POWER LEASE IS
APPROVED
PLAN TO HARNESS WATER BE-

CONSUMNATED - CALL FOR
CONTRACTS SOON.

Washington, March Island
owners under the Okanogan project
last year made application for the
lease of certain horsepower, which it
was claimed was running to waste in
the irrigation season below the gov
eminent dam in Ruby canyon.
1t was claimed that by putting in
a power fiume and conveying the wa
ter far enough down the canyon to
obtain the necessary head and run
ming it through a wheel to generate
the amount of power desired, the wa
ter could be returned to the creek to
continue on its way without the loss
of any water to the lands below.
Plan is Approved.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of Senator Jones, owing to
delay on the part of the reclamation
service to take action, and the for
mer, upon consulting with Director
Howell about the subject, was in
formed that the secretary of the in
terror had approved the plan of leas-
ing the power, under date of Deem
Der %, 1909, and the supervising en-
kineer at North Yakima had been in
structed to prepare specifications and
a form of contract for the lease. When
these Specifications and form of con-
tract have been approved by the sec
rotary of the interior, bids will be ad-
vertised for and contracts executed in
the usual manner.
Delay the Inspection.
The senator has also been notified
by the forest service that as it will be
impracticable because of adverse
weather conditions to examine the
proposed elimination of certain lands
from the Chelan reserve in the
neighborhood of Conconully, the ex-
animation cannot be made before the
latter part of May or the first part of
June.
A petition from Conconully was re-
Gently sent to Senator Jones from
persons in Conconully who wished
the boundaries of the reserve set
back about five or six miles from
their present location. This petition
was presented to the forest service
and an examination has been ordered
as above indicated.
Obstacles in Way.
This proposed elimination will not

have plain sailing, however. as pro-
tests have come in from the sur
rounding towns claiming that while
it might benefit Conconully to de
crease the area OF the forest reserve,
yet the protestants feared that such
elimination would hurt the watershed
and decrease the flow OF water used
In the Okanogan irrigation system.
All these questions will have to be
presented to the agent of the depart
ment who makes the examination in
order that all phases of the subject
may be gone into very thoroughly by
him.

is finished and the machinery ar
rives the work of dredging will be-
gin. The swamp lands overflow every
year and so much water remains on
them as to render great part of
