CHAPTER xxIV. ioM1 a Dream Came True.

the wind. As she ran she heard her brother shout in sudden alarm and Natalie's voice raised in en- treaty, but she sped on under an i'm pulse as irresistible as panic fear. Down through the openings beneath her feet she saw, as in nightmare, the sweeping flood, burdened with plunging ice chunks and decked with foam. She seemed to be suspended above it, yet she was running at reck- less speed, dimly aware of the conse- quences of a nnisjudged footstep, but fearful only of being overtaken. Sud- denly she hated her companions. Her mind was in a furious revolt at their cowardice, their indecision or what ever it was that held them like group of wooden figures safe on shore while the man whose life was worth all theirs put together exposed himself to needless peril That he was really in danger she felt sure. She knew that Murray was apt to lose himself in his dreams. Perhaps some visionary mood had blinded him to the menace of that mounting ice ridge in front of the glacier. Or had he madly chosen to stand or fall with this structure that meant so much to him? She would make him yield to her own terror, drag him ashore, if necessary, with her own hands.

Reports Say That Gilmore is Lined
 Up With ShacklefOrd.

The news received today that W. A. Gilmore and George Schofeld have re ceived full control of the proxies of the Second division has led some local Republicans to believe that Nome will also be found in favor of nominating Wickersham as the candidate of the regular Republicans for delegate to congress. It is rather difficult to get at the reason for this belief but there is evidently some reason for feeling that Gilmore is with the Shacdeford side and opposed to the people who made the fight against Shackleford. Gilmore was formerly strongly for Wickersham until he became a candi- date himself on the regular ticket. The local Republican committeeman have been asked to say what they know about this whole affair but they will not speak for publication. How ever, the plot is thickening for the grand denouement which comes here in April.

OF RELATIONS WITH
 GERMANY NOW ALMOST CERTAIN
GERMAN RUPTURE SURE

WASHINGTON March 3O.-The expectation that the United States government would recede from its de- termination to the diplomatic relations with Ger many was removed today when it was learned that Ger man submarine has sunk the British steamer Eagepon without warning while she carrying American pas sengers feeling had grown up that the American stand taken after the sinking of the Sussex would not be main ained but the sinking of the Eagepoint has caused the feeling that severance of the relations is almost absolute certainty. It is given out in a manner that may be called official that only prompt settlement by Ger many of the whole submarine issue can prevent the threatened rupture and only very few are optimistic enough to believe that Germany will grant the demands made by this country.

OKLAHOMA G. o. P. DELEGATES
 PROBABLY UNRESTRICTED

OKLAHOMA CITY, March 22.- Even the most astute politicians in the state admitted that the result of the Republican state convention, which opened here today, could best be expressed at present by big question mark. There was no native son" element in evidence, and what sentiment previously had been ex- pressed was about equally divided be- tween Roosevelt, Hughes and Borah An uninstructed delegation appeared to be the most probable outcome.

RAILROAD MEN GET
 10 PER CENT BONUS

The Copper River & Northwestern railway has decided voluntarily to in- crease the wages of its employees. As long as the price of copper remains up and the heavy shipments of ore continue the men on the road will re- ceive a bonus of ten per cent, the maximum amount to be paid any em- ploye for a month being $15. In other words, the greatest benefit to be derived from the increase will be by those in the operating department of the road.-Cordova Times.

Things for Fathers and
Mothers to Think About

Mothers! Fathers! For two years
Clearwater county was wet. You
know the disgraceful situation under
which the people lived. You know
the story. In Gods name are you
dead to all sense of honor? Have
you no sense of appreciation that you
would for one moment think of chang
ing back to the conditions prevailing
before Messrs. Smith and Sullivan
took hold Of the enforcement of the
laws? 1t would be a crime against
every boy and every girl in Clear
water county to do ought to discour-
age officers who have enforced the
law. Have you had enough law en-
forcement? Are you tired of it?
Do you want another reign of terror
with its houses of prostitution, its
bootleggers, its fragrant disregard
for law and order? BY your votes
are you going to turn down officials
who have done the very thing you
prayed they would do? Do you want
your boys to have chance to be de-
cent? Are you ready 10 throw down
the bars and open the doors for two
years more of the old regime? Re-
member that AL Harper was a good
neighbor and good fellow, but a
mighty poor sheriff; remember that
Holsclaw ran the office of county at
torney economically. He did moth
ing.

During 1918 and 1914 Clearwater
county was the wettest county in
Idaho. The laws were not enforced.
During 1915 and 1916 the laws have
been enforced and this same county
has become the driest in the state.
This has been accomplished thru two
means. First, publicity. Second,
thru the election of county officials
who have made an honest effort to en-.
force the law. No officers could d.
better. Few could do az we'll. Why
change?
Better let we'll enough alone.

had a wife and children. But the
fishing up the North Fork of the
Clearwater river about Dent was fair
and enticing, and the smell of the
pine rests inviting. There were al
so fair damsels who loved to fish and
camp and smell the pine trees and
the COFFEE over the campfire, and be-
ing accommodating and the damsels
being fair to look upon, when the
wife was at home taking care of the
children, Mr.. West is said, by citi-
zens of Dent, to have had regular
picnic. And the morning and the
evening was the first day.
Once upon time the Northern
Pacific railroad company refused tc
permit the shipment of liquors up TIE
Clearwater branch, and there was

were dry and full of thirst? Their
