Indians, 4; Bloomington. 1.

Bloomington went down to defeat
before the far-famed Nebraska In
dams, but they have nothing to be
ashamed of. The Indians hail, we be-
lieve, from the Rosebud reservation,
and have done nothing but play base
ball and scalp white men ever since
they were small children. Their rec
ord isn't at hand, but it is something
phenomenal.
The score stood at 1 to 1 up to the
18th inning, with the Indians rally
coming in the 14th and 18th innings.

.ROETHE LEADS TICKET.
GOVERNOR CLOSE End

Returns up to midnight last night
from thirty-three out of forty-five pre-
clncts in Grant county, gave practi-
cally beyond question the county
nominees on the republican county
ticket, and show substantially the
trend of vote on the state ticket.
Frank c. Meyer, for district attcr-
ney, Wesley Hymer for sheriff, Fred
Burr for clerk of the court, and w.
G. Livingston for treasurer, lead by
substantial majorities.
LaFollette leads Jeffris with a vote
of 1431 to 1419-almost neck and
neck. Phillip leads the state ticket
with vote of 1859 to $40 for Francis
E. McGovern.
That the returns up to midnight are
significant is indicated by the fact
that only one city, Boscobel, remain
ed to be heard from. The villages
were all in with the exception of Ha-
Eel Green and Muscoda and all the
towns with the exception of BoscObel
where here are less than SO votes at
the general elections, Castle Rock,
WILL d SLudI1 FOIG, lIhVWlSG,
Mt. Ida, Watterstown, Jamestown,
Muscoda, Hazel Green, Smelser and
Millville-where no surprises are like
ly to occur or could happen to change
the midnight forecast.
Complete returns were received
from BeetOwn, Bloomington town and
village, Cassville town and village,
Clifton, Ellenboro, Fennimore town
and village, Glen Haven, Harrison,
Hickory Grove, Lima, Little Grant,
Liberty, Mt, Hope, North and South
Lancaster, Lancaster city, Paris on
sheriff, Platteville town and city,
Patch Grove, Potosi town and village,
Waterloo, WingVille, Woodman, Wya-
lusing, Cuba City, Livingston and
,MontfOrt. An effort was made only
to get the vote on the contested offiG-
es ON the republican ticket-namely ::
district attorney, clerk of the court,
county treasurer, sheriff, governor, U.
S. senator, congressman and state
senator The results bear out only
SO far I'm every particular the Herald s

Lieber, accompanied by two herders,
came early for his stock. He greeted
Kemp warmly. "Going my way?" he
asked.
II ben loafn' around here with that
in mind" drawled Kemp. "I'll take a
hand If you'll allow me a mount"
"You can take your pick" said Lie
ber, that IL, after Mr.. Lansing has
had his"
The three of them walked into the
pasture. Lieber looked at the stock
with kIndling eyes. He turned to Ger
ry and held out his hand. "Shake," he
said, and Gerry did. "What do you
say to the first five of the horses out
and the last ten Of the cattle for your
share7'
Gerry flushed. That's more than
fair" he said. "You know the best
of the horses will lead the bunch and
the latest of the cattle will lag be-
hind. You see, they're all strong
now"
That's just It," said Lieber.
Kemp had gone OF to round up his
mule. He came UP from the river
driving it before him. At every jump
he caught the mule a flick with his
rope and the mule kicked and squealed
but came on with long, stiff-legged
strides. "Hryiw yelled Kemp and
snatched of his hat to beat his mount
while he kept the rope-end Pickering
over the mule.
Gerry and Lieber laughed. Kemp
was like mummy come to sudden
life. do you know whatY' said Ger

He led the iron-gray out by bis fore
lock and old Bonifacfo hurried to help
bride and saddle him. Lieber mount
ed his stallion and turned the horses
as they came out. Kemp suddenly
sobered down to business. When Lie
Der had thrown back the last ten of
the cattle, Kemp came out and closed
the gap behind him.

horses" said Lieber.
"You go and take yo' men with yon,"
said Kemp. IL could drive tlils fat

ALWAYS SEE THAT YOUR
CAMP FIRE Is ExTINaUIsHED

Extraordinary precaution against for
est fires is more necessary this season
than in several past summers, due to
the lack of spring rains in the noun
tains. A few serious fires have already
occurred and been extinguished at con-
siderable expense by the counties in
the state.
As a good citizen, you are urged:
l. To exercise utmost care with
camp fires you may build, carefully and
completely extinguishing them upon
leaving camp even for short interval,
and to refrain at present from burning
brush.
2. To extinguish, if possible, any
fire you may discover, remembering
that all fires start as small fires, and
to report the occurrence of the fire to
the sheriff.
3. To report Immediately to the
sheriff any fire beyond your control or,
if within a national forest, to report
Iu6 4lIo 10 tuc uedEcSL 1OTeSt OA1CcEs
All sheriffs are also fire wardens.
Don't toss away burning matches.
DOM build fire that can spread.
Don't leave fire until it is OUT.
Don't pollute stream.
Tidy up place after camping.
Be good woodsman.
Forest fires are public evils; it is up
to YOU to help preserve the forests.
Besides, the state law demands that no
set on fire any body Of timber or prairie
set on fire any body of timer or prairie
and states that "who shall intentional
ly or by neglect permit any destructive
fire to pass from his own ground, shall
be deemed guilty of misdemeanor."
Such person is also liable for damages
to the injured party.-W. ]. Morrill,,

That dry season. saw the beginning
Of drought the will long hold the
blackest page In ,e annals Of the San
Francisco basin. It seemed but days
after the rains when the sparse grass
and new-leafed bushes of the wilder
ness began to shrivel up. Day after
day the sun leaped brazen, from the
horizon to the sky, his first level rays
searching out the scant, stored mois-
ture Of whiting foliage, and the very
sap of the hardy brush. While the cat
tie were still fat they became weak
and turned to cactus for nourishment.
They broke down the sickly branches
with their horns and rubbed them In
the sand to free them Of the worst of
the thorns. Herders rode the rounds
on weakening horses and dismounted
time and again to pull out spines from
the snouts of passive, painting cows.
Bulls died Of broken pride. They
would not subject themselves to the
pain Of eating cactus. The river-the
great river-was no longer great. 1t
grumbled with a weak voice from deep
down in the gorge. Gerry watched its
falling level with anxious eye and one
day sent an urgent call to Lieber for
help.
Lieber came. He brought with him
an army, every man bearing with him
the tool that had come soonest to his
hand. Spades were few and hoes; the
bright shares of pick or two caught
the light like lances. Most Of the men
depended on the heavy sheath knives
they carried at their sides. They
looked like an army of sansculottes
as they swarmed into the ditch and
began to dig. In two days they had
sunk 1t to the required level. When
they finished Gerry rode back with
them to help bring down Liebers
weakening stock.

ACCOUNTING FOR SALT 1.Akz

Great Salt lake has no outlet. Jor-
dan river, which enters it from the
south, is the outlet Of Utah lake. Bear
river, coming from the north, carries
the outflow from Bear lake. The wa
ters of Utah and Bear lakes and Of
Jordan and Bear rivers are fresh, and
so is the water of Weber river, tho
third tributary of Great Salt lake, but
the lake into which the three rivers
flow is saline. It is saline because it
has no outlet.
The fresh waters Of the rivers con
tain some saline matter, but the guam
tity is too small to be discovered by
taste.
AS stated by the chemist, in parts
per million, the quantity seems minute,
but when account is taken of the total
volume of water brought by the streams
to the lake in year their burden Of
saline matter is found to be really
great, amounting annually to more than
five hundred thousand tons.
Year by year and century by century
the water which they pour into the
lake is evaporated, but the dissolved
solids cannot escape in that way and
therefore remain.
They have accumulated until the
lake water is approximately saturated,
holding nearly as much mineral matter
rs it can retain in solution. The lake
contains over five billion tons of COM
mon salt and nine hundred million tons
of Glauber salt Sodium sulphate) as.
well as other mineral matter.

with Lieber for la Dor to be paid for in
produce. Fazenda Flores bIossomed
and bore fruit. People began to come
In from afar to bH rter for produce and
buyer appeared and took over the
whole Of the little cotton crop. Gerry
poured money into Margarita's lap
more money than she had ever seen
and sent her under escort of Dona
Maria and Bonifacio and the Man to
purchase all of comfort and furbelows
that the tiny market of Piranhas could
supply.
They were to be gone two days and
Gerry left the Fazenda in charge of
his foreman to go and spend the time
with Lieber and Kemp. He found
Kemp in sort of controlled elation
over the greatest shipment of CONNER
cial orchids the trade had ever known.
Just after Gerry's arrival two men
appeared bearing monster plant of
over two hundred leaves strung, like
the grape cluster of Eschol, on pole.
Kemp's deep set eyes seemed to
grow out of his head as he made out
their burden. "Hi-yir' he yelled and
himself on to an ustonished heifer.
For one second she squatted and then
went mad. With yell and fogging hat
Kemp poured oil on the fire of her
frenzy. She bucked and twisted and
all but somersaulted in her efforts to
rid herself of the demon on her back.
On the veranda, Lieber and Gerry held
their sides and roared at the most
grotesque fine riding they had ever
seen. Finally, with desperate lunge,
the heifer breasted the corral fence.
1t caught her midi lie and she teetered
over. Kemp turned handspring from
her back and landed on his feet The
heifer scrambled Tree from the fence
and tore, wild-eyed out into the desert.
Laughter rang frc m every-side. Three
herders threw themselves on to their
horses and rode, shouting, after the
heifer. Kemp Strengthened out his hat,
put 1t on, and walked sedately over to
the veranda. There was only faint
CLINT in his eye as he bought the mon
ster plant to crow: the monster ship
ment.

LARGER POSTAL DEPOSITS

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the postoffice. This
is made possible by an important
amendment to the Postal Savings act
just approved by President Wilson. A
postal savings depositor may now have
an account amounting to $1,000 upon
which interest will be paid. Formerly
$500 was the maximum amount he could
have to his credit. This enlargement
of postal savings facilities will be very
gratifying to thousands Of depositors
who have already reached the old $500
limit and are anxious to entrust more
of their savings to Uncle Sam. Anoth-
er feature of the amendment that will
avoid further embarrassment to the
public and to postal officials is the
doing away with the limit ON tho
amount that could be accepted from =
depositor monthly. Under the old law
only 800 could be deposited in q cal
endar month. The amendment abolishes
this restriction. While the postal saw
ings system has already proved signal
success rs is shown by the fact that
more than. half million depositoes
have over eighty million dollars stand-
ing to their credit, still 1t has faEsN
