 This condition of affairs Orde had determined, if possible. to obviate.
 If" said he to North. i've could carry an apron on slant from just under ihe crest and over the potholes it would shoot both the water and the logs off better angle"
 Sure" agreed North, "but you'll have fun placing your apron with all that water running through. Why, II would drown us!"
 Eve got notion on that" said Orde.
 Into the forest went the axmen. The stralghtest trees they feIled, trimmed and dragged down travoy trails they constructed, on sleds they built for the purpose, to the banks of the river. Here they bored the two holes through either end to receive the bolts when later they should be locked together side by side in their places. AS fast as they were prepared men with canthooks rolled them down the slope to a flat below the falls.
 After the trees had been cut in suf- ticient number 0rdc led the way back upstream half mile to q shadows, where he commanded the construction of number of exaggerated sawhorses with very widespread slurtiug legs. When the sawhorSes were completed Orde directed the picks and shovels 10 be brought mp.
 Orde set his men to digging chan rel through the bank. It was no slight job, as the slope down into a swamp began only at q point forty or fifty feet inland; but. on the other hand, the earth was soft and free from rocks When completed the channel gave pas sage to rather feeble streamlet from the outer fringe of the river.
 Next Orde assigned two men to each of the queer shaped sawhorses and iu- structed them to place the horses in a row across the shallowest part of the river and broadside to the stream. Tsss was done. The men, halfway to the.s knees in the swift water, bore

 The spring burst into leaf and set tied into summer. Orde was constant ly on the move. As soon as low wa ter came with midsummer he departed to Bedding. Here he joined crew which Tom North had collected and went to the head of the river Far back on the headwaters he built a dam. The gate operated simply and could be raised 10 let loose an entire flood. And, indeed, this was the whole purpose of the dam. It created res eryoir from which could be freed new supplies of water to eke out the drop ping spring freshets.
 The crew next moved down ten miles to where the river dropped over a rapids full of powders. Here were built a row of stone filled log cribs in a double row downstream to define the channel and to hold the drive in it and away from the shallows. At the falls twenty-five miles below Orde pur-

 "Of course" agreed Newmark. We expect 1t to be. It is intended as Q penalty in case you don't break out your own rollways in time"

 "What?" asked Orde.
 '"It was all rubbish. He saw we had spotted his little scheme, and he had to retreat. It was as plain as the nose on your face. We've got an enemy on . our hands in any case and one we'll have to look out for. He'll try to make trouble on the river. Perhaps he'll try to block the stream by not breaking his rollways."
 The partners hunted out the little frame building in which Johnson con- ducted his business.

 Which seems to settle that" said Newmark to Orde after they had left.
 "NOw," said Newmark as they trudg- ed back to their hotel. this proposi- tion of Heinzman's has given me an idea. I'm not going to try to sell this stock outside, but to the men who own timber along the river. Then they won't be objecting to the tolls. for if the company makes any profits part will go to them. I'll take these con tracts to show we can do the business, and I'll see about incorporation and get a proper office and equipments. Of course we'll have to make this our headquarters"

 in White House

 Complained Of

WASHINGTON, D. C., January ll.-- Negotiations have been begun looking 10 settlement tout of eourt' of the the merger of the so-called Hartman lines, brought under the provisions of the sherman antitrust law. Rumors of such negotiations have been current for some time and today took concrete form at a conference at the White House, granted by President Taft at the solicitation of railroad of. ficals.
 It can be stated authOritatively that no decision of any sort was reached. It was said today's conference was the first of series of meetings to be held for the purpose of determining upon what ground, if any, the representatives of the Hartman lines and the govern ment can meet for an adjustment of the situation.
 President Taft has given no intima- tion as 10 his attitude, and his final de cision, it is said, will depend largely upon the proposition the railroads have 10 make looking toward compliance with the antitrust law.
 The ease will not be dropped, it is said, except upon such terms as will look to the correction of evils complain ed of, or unless the government can be shown to be comptely in error.
 Will Not Talk
 Today's conference was attended by Judge Robert $. Lovett, president of the Hartman lines Attorney General Wickersham Frank B. Kellogg, "trust buster" and special attorney for the United States in the case against the railroads; former Senator John C. Spooner and Maxwell Evarts of New York, attorneys for the Hartman lines, None of the members of the railroad party would discuss the matter.

who was making his first tour OF the

to know what the curious little ami
mails were. He was told they were
prairie pigs" and highly priced, bring
ing fifteen cents a pound OF the mar
ket, and that they went with the
land as a part of the purchase. This
was enough for the easterner, who
thought he had secured a prize, and
the deal was closed at once for the
tract of land. The investor returned

parations to at once remove to his
newly purchased location, and begin
reaping the harvest from the ready

FOR WHITE MAIL BOXES.

The Brookings postoffice has re-
ceived the following letter from the
department at Washington concern
ing the care of the mail boxes on ru.
raj routes:
1T is the desire Of the department
that you earnestly request patrons of
rural delivery out of your Office to
paint their boxes and the posts to
which they are attached a pure white
color. This course, If pursued, will
not only result in benefit to the patron
in serving to protect the box and post
from damage by the weather, but will
give all boxes a uniform color and
serve to fix their identity in all parts
of the country as United States mail
boxes, and will give them a much
neater and sightlier appearance than
they now possess. 1t is also desired
that patrons be induced to imprint
their names and box numbers on box
es in block letters about two inches
high.
1T is also desired that you endea-
vor to induce road officials t paint
the posts of boxes which are located
at cross roads (but not attach signs
thereto) the names of the towns or
villages to which the crossroads lead,
with IN indicator showing the direc-
ton.
Posts to which boxes should be at
tached shall be set in an easily acces-
sible position at the side of the road
and boxes securely fastened to a pro.
jecting arm of wood, or to a bracket
or band of iron about three-sixtecnths
of an inch thick, or, If preferred, an
utomatic extension arm may be used.

DR.. RODEHEAvER PLEASES.

DR.. J. N. R~odeheaver of the State
college, deliver one Of the principal ad.
dresses at the state educators met
ing at Sioux Falls last week. The
Sioux Falls Press, says:
DR.. j. N. R%odeheaver of the depart.
ment Of philosophy and education of
the State college at Brookings, the
first speaker Of the evening gave an
address that held the audience at rapt
attention. The subject Of his dis
course related to the spirit of modern
education.
1.-The spirit of modern education is
essential Industrial" said DR.. Rode
HEAVIER, and supported his argument
with reference to the industrial de.
velopment Of the past ten years, stat.
ing that the advance had been so
great that the educational theory has
not been able to keep pace with 1t.
He spoke of the fact that great manu-.
facturers equip their employees with
an education in order to increase
their earning power.
Secondly, said the speaker, the
spirit of modern education Is whole.
somely democratic, showing how the
right kind of a vocation developed
personality in the individual and leads
right into the subject Of religion.
Following out the foregoing thought
DR.. Rodeheaver reviewed how during
the colonial days the educational sys'
TEN had been under the control of the
church, with the principal object be-
ing to train men for the ministry
| While the theme carried down to the
present time the audience was shown
how the present unrest and agitation
about moral and religious affairs is
additional evidence Of the truth of
the old saying that mar is, by nature,
incurably regious.
The strongest statement that has
ever been made on an educational
platform in South Dakota came when
DR.. Rodeheaver, in closing his ad'
dress, said:
The entire separation of religion
and education has provided a basis
for a much wider, more tolerant and
more practicable religious teaching
than the church alone was likely ever
to have attained. The sheer necessity
of religion has been forced upon us
in the most practical way possible,
What we call business and secular
are seer to be incomplete in them.

with the religious spirit.
The address Of DR.. Rodcheaver was
received with much applause, the au-
dience realiz,n g that it had listened
to a mar who was not only a philoso-
pher by profession, but also by ma
ture. He was given many expressions
OF approval, relative TO his ideas, fol-
lowing the close of the session.
Governor r. s. Vessey, who ended
the addresses, won his hearers by pre-
facing his remarks with an amusing
story. He referred in commendable
terms to the foregoing speakers and
especially to the learned paper de-
livered by DR.. Rodeheaver.
