Present Survey for information.
 SEATTLE. May 20. Thomas R. Riggs said today:
 "Our surveys will be location sur vsys merely. and our selections will not necessarily mean that the propos- ed road win be built on the line to be selected by us The line which we are Go survey is the one about which there Is the least information.
 There will be eleven locating par ties in the field. and our work will take until the middle of October. when the locating engineers will probably meet some place on Prince William sound. and gather what information we can about other routes. This will ktep us until December 1, when we win begin the ork owf making esti- mates of cost. We expect to have our report ready to submit to Presi- dent Wilson about April 1st. eE will then make the selection of the route" {"

Betsy's Cr0upier Count
BY ALLEN F. LEONARD

"For heavens sake, I'd let them
alone"
: mot till I have paid them in their
own coin."
Leaning on her lovers arm, Betsy
approached the croupier, giving his
monotonous call: make your bets.
Make your bets. Red or black:"
"IIow do, count:' she said.
The croupier looked up and, seeing
her, turned red as a cocks comb.
Come and see me, count"
The man looked as if he would breaB
for the door, but made no reply.
Come tomorrow morning at II
o'clock. Don't fail me. You have
nothing to fear and something to earn
quite easily"
The next morning Antoine Boyer,
which was his real name, presented
himself to Betsy and was offered 1900
francs to aid her in turning the tables
on the men who had introduced him to
her. Returning to Nice, she sent word
to Gautier and Villiers that if they
| would come and see her she would in
trOduce them to her fiance. They, he.
ing ignorant of what had recently
TRANSFERRED, wondered if their game haC
succeeded. Repairing to Miss Bakers
hotel, they found her with an Aneri-
can. whom she introduced to them
and the %croupier.
You know the count. of course. and
there is no use for me to make you ac-
quainted. Count. stand up there ant

Sweet Glover TickIes Stocks Palate.

Only a dozen years ago and on many
farms sweet clover was fought tooth
and nail whenever q few plants of this
weed" showed their heads. Now on
many farms throughout the country
sweet clover is proving just the thing
to grow on dry, barren knobs. quilted

tillable lands is valuable as Il soil i'm
proven to inoculate and enrich the soil
for alfalfa. AS these experiments go

experimenterS that cattle. horses.
sheep, hogs and poultry only need to
get an occasional taste of sweet clover
in order to acquire a decided liking for

celebrated play 1.-The Lady

AtAJI SClCOidlCu pay Ao'S
of Lyons" is based on the
theme that the heroine's dis
carded lovers palm off upon
her u cOuntryman as a prince. Some
thing similar happened recently in
Paris to Betsy Baker Of South Dakota.
Betsy. who hadn't much idea Of
! plolrieties except such rs she had
learned in Dakota, went abroad all by
herself and. rather liking Nice. spent
IL good deal Of time there. h fell
in with some very nice persons and
some who We're not very nice. They
were all pretty much the same to
Betsy-at least. they appeared to be--
for she seemed to have no power of
discrimination between classes.
Two young Parisians. Jacques Gau-
tier and Edmond Villiers. comparing
notes, discovered that they had both
proposed to Miss Baker and had been
turned down. Whether or not they had
seer the Lady Of Lyons" played and
taken their cue from it doesn't appear.
but they concluded to foiSt a spurious
nobleman on Betsy. They selected a
croupier ut a gambling house who had
found his employment on account OF a
very distinguished appearance n Il
melliflucus voice. the latter being
advantageous in calling upon players
to make their bets and the winning
numbers. They introduced him to Bet
Sy as Count Chcrboulier. a member OF
one Of the oldest families in France
1t is quite possible that had Betsy
been fancy free the croupier might
have deceived her as to his real posi-
ton and won her; but. unfortunately
for the plan, she was already pledged
to Jack Rowland. a young New Yorker.
who had taken Il fancy to ranchinc
and had spent much Of his time on bis
property in the neighborhood of Bet
sy's home in Dakota. He had fallen
desperately in love with her. and. while
aware of the fact that she was not of
the conventional type Of girl to whom
he had been accustomed in the east. he
was only too happy when she consent
ed to marry him. She therefore re-
fused the croupier. and since he had
nothing to gain by persistence and
must have Il living he went over to
Monte Carlo. where he had been EN-
ployed before being introduced to Bet.
sy. and resumed his calling.
Rowland joined his tiancee. at Nice
and the two made a trip to Monte
Carlo. where they saw the bogus coun
presiding at the gaming table. Betsy
recognized him at once and told hel
lover of the trick that had been played
on her by the Messrs. Gautier and
\illiPrS.
'That's the best joke l ever expert
enred," she said. laughing merrily.
