man must have a permit from the
State Engineer before he can use that
water. and we are not going to give
a permit to any trust or monopoly,
whether it be a trust of financial men
or a trust of the government. That is
the way we feel about it out there.
We have. in addition. great phos-
plate beds in Idaho. We have de-
veloped there a whole mountain Of
phosphate. We have phosphate
enough in the mountains of Idaho,
around in Soda Springs and in that
vicinity to fertilize every acre of land
west of the Rocky Mountains. Our
coal beds are yet practically unde-
veloped, but we have the same veins
that Wyoming has; we have the same
veins they have developed and from
which they have furnished the coal
for all our western country for years.
And all these resources taken to-
gether tend to build up our great
system of life under irrigation.
Now we are asked, first, to pay a
royalty of % cents to 81 a horse
power per annum on our water pow
ers. Last year our forest reserves
earned from rentals of pasture and
things of that character approx
mately 100000. We gave to the
United States government $14S,0OO
of that money. while we were spend
ing our own money building trails
through the forets reserves to pro-
tect our timber from fire and loss.
If we go on at the same rate with
our phosphate beds and our coal
beds and our water powers, within
} ten years, at the present rate of de-
, velopment, we will be paying a tax
to the national government of over
100000 a year. We do not ask
that this money be turned over tc
indiscrimiante use; we do not ask
} that this moeny be turned over tC
any man or set of men, but we dc

subject / am to discuss this morning,
for the reason that / cannot tell you
in the short time / have at my dis
posal very many Of the details of
irrigation.
The subject of irrigation is one so
broad and comprehensive that 1t is
entirely impossible to discuss it in
diligently at any great length at a
meeting of this kind, and for that
reason / shall confine myself to some
of the important features think will
interest governors of the eastern
states.
In commencing an address of this
character-in commencing to discuss
irrigation as a problem-it is usual
for the speaker to begin with the
early history of irrigation-back
1000 years ago-and tell about the
wonders that have been accomplished
in Egypt, and the great dams and
reservoirs that we're built on the
Nile, and then gradually lead up to
what we are doing in modern times
Time, however, will not permit me
to go into the question in any such
comprehensive way, and I shall con-
fine myslf and my remarks this
morning to irrigation in the west
and especially in my own state OF

not wait until after our water powers
were gone, or our irrigated lands were
taken up. but we enacted these laws
at the beginning which are for the
benefit Of the masses and not for
the benefit of the classes.
After all that is done, we take this
water power and transmit il over
electric wires for miles and miles,
some of it as high as $50 miles, and
transmit it with only a II per cent
loss. You can understand what that
means. We can all have it to use.
They have it on the farms, where
they cook and heat and light by cleo
tricity because our water powers are
so cheap that they can afford to do
It. AS an illustration: Take my
own home in Pocatello. ] have not
had a fire in my house to cook by
for seven years, nor fire to heat the
house, either. We heat our house,
we light our house, we heat our bath

and we do our cooking, make our
ice cream and churn the butter, do
the washing and the ironing, and the
girls even wash the dishes by cleo

Captain Harred led the way easterly
alongshore to spot where the shrub

beach. They walked back between
clumps of dark green rosemary, over a
low place in the dunes, down to the
dry, hard bottom of former pool
They emerged upon a little frregu-
lar hillock and looked forth upon a
strange tarn of inky water, its black
waves crested with foam, like white
plumes on funeral Grape. The shores
Of this sinister lake were densely
wooded by sullen ranks of pines and
expresses. Virginia gasped at sight Of
the somber mere. 1t seemed such an
eery spot in which to be cast away
with these strange men who lived be-
hind closed doors and walked the
sands as to leave no footprints!

"Good evening"" responded the young
man.
Virginia said nothing. Carson, steal
ing a look at her, saw the flush dying
out upon her face and smile taking
its place-a dimpling, spasmodic smile,
accompanied by little quick dilations
Of the nostrils, as If Miss Suarez was
DESTROYS of indulging in laugh, but
saw no citable reason for so doing.
She waved her handkerchief at the
captain.

to the receding shore, ''that the little
hill at the landing is just a mass of
shells?''
"Why, so it is, I believe" she ex-
claimed How came so many there?"

She rose and walked out unsteadily
upon the veranda and saw Mr.. Carson
and the captain sitting idly just be-
yond earshot of the cabin They came
to her respectfully.

The girls hand trembled so that she
could not hold to anything, no matter
how she tried. At last-it was over in
moment-more by accident than de-
sign, she moved something. With ap-
palling velocity the thing shot upward;
the aeronat fell away toward the earth;
the fsherman's house far beneath
was Whisked down to the littleness of
a toy. The air struck her face, blow
ing downward more and more chill
Overhead the screws hummed impla-
cably, the only sound she heard.

She was growing calmer now. It

And then the north wind struck.
The puff smote her cheek. The hell

was blowing out to sea- She reached
out to stop the engine, but the vision
passed through her mind of falling

Then a voice seemed to speak in her
ear from the chill solitude, senseless
words. as of one stammering, like the
phantasms Of voices heard in the de-
lirium of fever. finally growing dis
tinct and repeating over and over a
command. s'Retard the spark!' it said.

She moved the sliding thing and

and made more. The sun wore to the
west, the last quail was cooked, the
captain was providently gorged with
alternate courses Of bird and broth.
when Virginia, very stately and very
reserved, opened the door and walked
out upon the gallery. Carson shrank
back into the kitchen and showed the
captain into the breach.
How do you do, ma'amy' he in
quired solicitously. ''Ah sho' hope yo'
bette aftah yo' Sleep"
"Much better, thank you,' she re-
piled.

ma'am," he went on, with rice, and
a baked yam, and planked green
trout from the lake back hyah, and
some coffee. Sit down, ma'am, and
Ah'll suhve it,
The little table was spread on the
gallery, its top made of the head of a
derelict cask, its legs of barnacled
sections Of a BOOM virginia's head
ached in dreadful similitude to the
traditional feeling of the morning after,
but the coffee fragrance was pleasant.
"You are too good" said she, accept
ing the chair 81 shall be glad to eat
little. Where is your-your friend?"
"He's som'eres about" replied the
captain. "Ah really don't know, ma'am
Won't you please take yo coffee?"
The coffee was black and strong.
The broth was temptation, and she
slipped with increasing appetite. But
tered yam and planked trout brought
the meal to triumphant end. Yet
where was she, and how should she
depart? Where was the Roc? Who
were these men? The guns, the brass
instruments that looked as if they per-
tanned to navigation, the big window
less shed, all suggested things nautical,
bold and nefarious. The kindness and
courtesy of the rough looking fellows
treasured her as to her personal safe
ty. Yet if they were smugglers or
freebooters how could they safely re-
turn her to the civilization of coast
guards and constables? It was deli
ciously romantic-but how creepy!
She turned to Captain Harrod with
an expression so agitated that he was
somewhat startled.
II wish you would say to the lieu
tenant" said she, "that must see
him at once if possible"
The fisherman analysed this speech,
for perhaps minute in absolute 81
lence, then he said. "Yes, ma'am," and
instantly produced Carson. who, so
far as Virginia could judge, had been
within the captains sight when she
had been assured that his whereabouts
were unknown.
s'You are" said the young man,
avoiding any reference to her recovery,
doubtless wondering where your
companions may be and thinking it
strange that they have not returned 2"
"It is strange" said she. Some

gines."

the young man.

Above the purr Of the screws came
the angry voice of the inventor in the
engine room abusing the Roe's second
engineer for some remark derogatory
to helicopters. Already he was quite
wild enough. Virginia thought.

The Roc circled to the west to avoid
the inhibited passage over the bat
teries and stood east along the beach.
Winner abandoned his quarrel and
came forward to make the test. He
set the helicopter on the deck, where
it stood unsteadily on its slender bam-
boo legs, its painter hanging over the
rail, it's top crowned by the screw

Certainly" answered Mr. Shayne.
''But don't let the helicopter topple off.
1t might fall on fisherman. What
are you doing, virginia?'
The girl had stepped forward as If

(Which is the clutch lever?" she
asked.
'"This,'' said the inventor, pointing.
"I'm going to the engine room. When
I come back I'll show you how it
works.
Mr.. shayne went aft with Wilmer in
animated conversation, leaving Vir-
ginia in the throbbing car. The rail
had been removed, and little push
would have been quite sufficient to
shove the girl and the machine over
board into the empty air. The thrill
OF the vibration, the sense of risk or
the intense gaze of Silberberg made
her face flush. He had never seen her
so charming. She laid her hand on the
clutch lever.

made Silberbero'S very fingers tinpla
with terror, and he let go girl and car
