CHAPTER u.

In an old.fashioned sitting room in an
antiquated brick house in that unfash-
ionable quarter of downtown" New
York formerly known as Greenwich
village there sat, one autumn evening.
a young couple. both of whom were
exceedingly good to look upon.
To the judicious observer 1t would
have been apparent from their atti-
tude and bearing each towards the
other that they were something more
than mere friends. yet less than man
and wife. In fact, they were con-
tented and happy jewellers in that de-
lectable border-land known as Being
Engaged.
The girl was fairly tall of stature, bru-
nett as to complexion. with wealth
of fine and glossy dark hair which
rippled and waved around small but
shapely head and above witchingly
feminine forehead, white and broad
and low. Her eyes were OF very
steadfast dark gray, set widely apart.
giving one the impression Of quiet re-
pose and cool judgment. A firm chin
above strong and supple throat
made her look older and more wom-
anly than her years really warranted.

A Tart Tongue.

Col. Robert C. Carter. at a Nash
vile banquet, was talking about cam
paign comrades.
Then there was Dash Of Company
A." he said. Dash had the reputation
of being the nastiest-tongued man in
the regiment.
1T was Private Dash, you know,
who, out foraging one evening on a
rich estate, came accidentally upon
the owners wife, a grande dame in
evening dress.
Dash asked her for food. She re-
fused him. He asked again. But, still
refusing, she walked away.

The separation Of the sexes seems
TO have been formerly by no means an
uncommon practice in the Church OF
England. In fact. Edward Wis prayer

communion service the men shall
tarry on one side and the women on

WORLD TALKS
OF THE BIG DAM
Big Dam to Be Built Here Is
Attracting Much Attention.
Full Plans For the Biggest Undertaking
of Its Kind Is Now in the In
terror Department For
Final Approval.

Through the erection across the Snake
river, near American Falls, of one of
the largest concrete dams ever con-
structed by which water will be backed
up the river, forming a reservoir sew
eral miles long, Eastern capitalists
plan the opening of one Of the biggest
irrigation projects in the history of the
reclamation of the inland desert. which
will be known as the Bruneau. The
tract will contain Approximately $780,
600 acres. 1t will require the attention
OF expert engineers, several of whom
have been working on the plans and
announce that by raising the water in
the river "a feet, it will be possible to
deliver it on every acre of the tract.
1t was stated by irrigation men in
Boise recently that the engineers have
approved the construction of the dam.
and that the day it was passed upon
$4,000, 900 in cash was paid over in Chi
cago. The remainder of the several
million dollars required to complete the
project will be forthcoming immedi-
ately.
1t has been known for long time
that American Falls is considered one
of the greatest power sites in the west
owing to the steep decline of the river
at this point. The available power has
never been completely controlled, but
it is the plan of the promoters not only
to control it but to make the power of
great commercial value.
The backing of the water up the river
will extend the reservoir from Amer
lean Falls to Blackfoot on the Snake
and almost to Pocatello on the Port
neuf. The land to be irrigated lies in
Southern Idaho, reaching from Bull in
Twin Falls county west to Bruneau. At
present it is a great range for cattle
and sheepmen. Official SURVEYS of the
tract has been made under the Surveyor
Generals Department and the plats
are now in Washington awaiting ap-
proval. AS soon as they are passed
upon active work will start on the larg
est irrigation project ever promoted by
independent capital in Idaho. Portland

F. H. E. Doris Goes to California.

Last week T. H. E. Doris, who has
5oen IN this section for nearly three
years, sold his personal property and
left this week for Los Angeles, Cali
fornia. Mr.. Doris owns eighty acres
of Carey land under the American Falls
canal which is we'll under cultivation,
but this he will hold for a time as he
feels that he can make more money by
holding than selling. Mr.. Doris stated
to the Press that he was sure he could
make more money here in the next few
years than he can in California, but
there is something about our climate or
our weather, or something else which
he does not agree with, so he makes
this change. 1t is likely that Mr.. Dor
ris will find something about the Cal
ifornia conditions which are not to his
liking and within short time will de-
eide that Idaho is yet nearer his ideal.
By the removal of Mr.. Doris this sec
ton loses a good booster but yet he
went from here loaded with literature
which is an indication that he will not
loose an opportunity to say good word
for this section.

Au Revoir But Not Good Bye.

Miss Janet L. Lang departed for Iowa
yesterday with the avowed intention of
remaining. Her friends, however, are
quietly talking about banquet they
will give her upon her return next fall.
Miss Lang has been here nearly three
years and has endeared herself to almost
everyone, and many and sincere are the
regrets expressed at her leaving. And
it may in turn be truly said that she
regrets to leave. From a hamlet, and
desolate looking one at that, she has
seen American Falls develop into a
thriving little place with the most fiat
tering of prospects, and greeted one by
one a class of settlers that would be the
pride of any community. Each year
has marked a steady development, in
which she feels an interest, because she
has had no small part in bringing it
about. Many friends wish her pleas
ant visit and a safe return.

TO INVESTIGATE RATES.
Hearing to be Had Before the United
States Court at Boise.

Secretary Reilly Atkinson, of Boise,
of the League of Southern Idaho Com
mercial clubs, has received notice from
the Interstate Commerce commission
that February % at 10 O'Clock a. M, in
the United States court room in Boise.
is the time and place assigned for hear
Ing the case of the league against the
Oregon Short Line and others involving
the question of a lower freight rate on
coal from Wyoming points to points in
Southern Idaho. The suit was instituted
some time ago by the traffic committee
of the league whose estimate it is that,
should the case eliminate successfully,
a saving of not less than $50, 900 will be
effected in Southern Idaho. The next
step is the hearing at which evidence
will be presented to substantiate the
charges made by the league.
The suit is for the adjustment of
coal rates from common points in WV
oming to all points in Southern Idaho
taking higher rate than the rate to
Butte, Mont, which is and has been for
some time S3.25 per ton. Upon inves-
tigation, the traffic committee found
that the present rate on coal from Wv
oming common points to Butte and
Anaconda, Mont, was 1925 per ton,
while the rates to Southern Idaho points
west of American Falls, except Mini
doka and Burley, and points inter-
mediate, was 81 per ton; that the dis
tance to Butte is practically the same
as the distance to Boise; that the dis
tance to Ontario, Payette and Weiser
is slightly greater than the distance to
Butte, while the mileage to all other
Southern Idaho points, including sta
tions on the Haley and Twin Falls
branches, is very much less than the
distance to Butte, and that the average
haul to all points west of American
Falls taking higher rate than the rate
to Butte is very much less than the
distance to Butte. This and other in
formation is embodied in a very COM
plete and comprehensive complaint and
the traffic committee is very hopeful of
winning its case.
