public school troubles.
Here we have a case of one
branch of the city government reach
ing over to choke off the action Of
another branch.
This is one of the rawest at
tempts to interfere with freedom of
speech that I have seen lately. It is
in the same class with the wrecking
of civil service and the suppression of
public information constantly prac-
ticed by the school board"

CITY CLERK SIMAN SHOWS UP
JAKE LoEB'S OFFICE

The interference or Pres. Jake
Loeb and Vice Pres. John W. Eckhart
with the distribution of the city coun-
ellis report on public schools among
school teachers is viewed by alder
men as one more piece of dOmineer-
ing politics.
City Clerk John Siman said to The
Day Book today that it looked to him
like mysterious politics" for the
presidents Office of the school board
to reach over into the City Hall and
try to stop "a perfectly reasonable
action of the city council from going
into effect"
This is the letter Vice Pres. John
w. EckhaTt signed and sent to City
Clerk Siman yesterday:
1.-THE presidents Office of the board
of education is in receipt of a letter
sent by you to the principals of the
schools asking them to distribute
some pamphlets. This is contrary
to the rules of the board of educa-
ton, and the request should come to
the board for permission to distribute
literature in the schools"
First of all, the document is not
a pamphlet" commented Aid. Buck.
ct is a record of city council COM
mittee proceedings, printed by the

Second, it's an educational doc
ument, it has summaries of the tes-
timony of leading educators. school

cities, university professors and spe-

MERCHANT SHIPS
ARM

New York, Feb. s.-The question
Of whether American ships shall be
armed for defensive purposes is being
considered by officials of the Amer

The question was raised by Sec'y
of State Lansing, who, in informing
American steamship companies that
the government cannot advise them
regarding sailings, said:
"A neutral vessel may, if its own
ers believe it is liable to be unlaw-
fully attacked, take any necessary
measure to prevent or resist such at

IMPERIAL VALLEY TO HAVE ANOTHER BOND
 ISSUE.

It only last spring that Imperial Valley farmers voted two and half millions in bonds for the purpose of making improvements to its irrigation system. The first of these bonds sold Los Angeles bank
 ing for eighythree cents the dollar (83c), while other irrigation bonds in California; notably in the San Joaquin valley selling considerably their face value Why Imperial Valley bonds should have such small value placed them is mystery unless it be that the banking concerns buying the bonds know pretty ratey the conditions that prevail in the district covered by the bonds It is we'll remembered that practically all the banks in Los Angeles urged the voting of these bonds and
 naturally supposed that time that these banks would be glad purchase the bonds at something what their face value represents However, just as the irrigation district got ready sell the bonds the Los Angeles bankers begun lay their plans for good big rake off, They eventually purchased the bonds at dis count of 7 per cent cleaning up 900 the first and half million of bonds sold. Pretty soft snap eh?
 But how much will these bonds bring? These new bonds will have be issued the money struct the connection with Yuma Project Laguna dam. Not lick of work be done in that direction until bonds are issued for the last bonds issued for specific purposes and connection with Laguna dam not of these purposes Money matters somewhat easier last spring than they now for since that time have raised several billions of dollars for purposes and Imperial Valley did her full share in that noble work But it to be

less man into the saddle. While they were going the half-mile to the cabin, Hardy led the mare, and Oinna walked beside her brother to steady him in his seat. Neither saw the rider who rode up out of the creek bed beyond the cabin and wheeled from view be- hind the end wall.
 When they reached the house. Hardy helped Redbear dismount before the door ard handed him his unloaded re- voiver. He then lifted his hat to Oin- na with utmost respectfulness.
 Miss Redbear," he said, you have been wronged in a most despicable manner. He has lied to you. You must keep away from him. Go back into the mountains with your grand father. I believe the rascal will soon leave the reservation, and then you will be free from him."
 Thanks for the prophecy, captain" came jeer from the end of the catin.
 They stared about, and saw Wander vyn standing at the corner, his face set in a cynical smile.
 "So you've quit soldering and taken to preaching" he sneered.
 "O-o-oh!'' sighed Oinna, and she crept toward the mocker, her hands imploringly outstretched, her soft eyes brimming over with tears of pitt full entreaty. "Teil him-tell him it isn't true! Tell him our marriage is a real marriager'
 "What fuss over a little thing like that!" he rallied.
 The girl cringed back, and sank. dcwn, in silent anguish to hide her face.
 "For shame, sir!" cried Hardy. Have you no shred of decency?" Vandervyn laughed. Redbear start ed staggering toward him, the empty revolver concealed behind his back with drunken cunning.
 ''You think it's funny" he muttered funny joke! You own up that mar- riage with her wasn't real like you said it was."
 "What if it wasn't?" bantered Van dervyn. 'It was good enough for a halfbreed squaw." He smiled at Hardy. "Yes, good enough for any halfbreed or-quarterbreed. I'll have Marie next"
 Hardy tensed, yet instantly checked the wrath that would have impelled him to hurl himself at the throat of the mocker. Redbear lacked such iron self-mastery. and liquor had numbed his sense of subserviency to Wander vyn. At Marie's name his fury burst out.
 You liarI You thief !" he yelled. "She's mine! You promised! Z I'll show you, you" Cursing wildly, he f1ourished his revolver, and brought it down in a wavering attempt to take aim.
 Stop! Stop!" Hardy cried to Van dcrvyn. 'It's not loaded! Stop!"
 But Vandervyn had already whipped out his revolver. From the muzzle

CHAPTER xxx.
The Reqistration.

At noon the following day the con- missioners came out to the butte, and announced the conditions of the land opening. All entrymen were to start from the coulee at given signal, to of the second day following. Any per son who started before the signal would be disqualified.
 tent was set up for the commits sioners in the coulee bottom, on the reservation side of the dwindled stream, and the chairman and secre- tary proceeded to take the signatures, thumb prints and descriptions of the waiting colony of prospectors and cow boys.
 Since Hardy and Marie had first. come upon the camp, the number of men had twice doubled. Yet, owing to the obscure manner in which the proposed opening had been advertised, there were absurdly few of them, all told, compared to the multitudes at other governmental land openings. Per haps with view toward covering this discrepancy, the commissioners had or dered full descriptions of every con- testant, and so managed to cover many sheets of paper and to consume much time.
 The recording was well under way when Vandervyn and Dupont came down to the camp. Neither made any attempt to push into the line of entry men. But Dupont read the posted mo- tice of the conditions of the contest, drowned, and remarked to Vandervyn that he wished to show him something over at the butte. The young man looked bored, yet borrowed pony, and rode across with him to the deserted camp.
 What is it?" he asked. Have you found a mares nest that is matching out a horse good enough to outrun triplets?"
 Dupont shook his head. Don't you let nobody hear that joke around here, MT. Van. Them there prospectors and punchers all lug guns, and they ain't the kind to stand for no funny busi- ness"
 They'll have to stand for it, if they don't understand it," punned Vandervyn. "In this game three of a kind beat all tne jacks in the pack"
 You best keep your head shut, just the same. Them punchers Il ride the hardest, and they're mighty sharp to see the diff'rence between horses"

She opened her eyes, saw him, and, reckoning with shame, turned her face aside. It happened to be toward her brother. Suddenly she drew herself up on her elbow tc. bend over the gray face.
 "lIe-iS not-deadI" sine gasped.
 Redbear's lips were moving. Hardy knet to lift him up to a half-sitting position. He knew by grim experience that with such a wound there was no hope, but he also knew that it would ease the agony to raise the injured man. Oinna dampened her brothers forehead. He nuttered curse.
 "Not that, boy" warned Hardy. You have only a few minutes"
 Redbear seemingly did not hear him. He repeated the curse: "The-! I'd "a got him-way I got Nogen-if you hadn't unloaded-my gun."

 From between the lips that had parted to utter the curse there gushed a scarlet stream.
 Hardy laid the body on the ground and drew the distracted girl away by main force.
 Come into the house," he ordered. ''YOu m'lst not look at him." She offered only passive resistance. When he had put her in a chair, she sat motionless, as if dazed, her dry eyes fixed on vacancy.
 '"This won't do," he said. "You must go to your grandfather. I can not take you with me, and besides"
 He checked himself, caught up a blanket, and went outdoors. When presently he returned, she had not moved. He fastened her scant ward robe and few trinketS in blanket roll, and led her out around the mouse, carefully keeping himself between her and the blanket-covered form on the ground near the door. He had brought her own and her brothers ponies to the back of the house. He laShed the bundle on the dead mans saddle. lifted the girl upon her pony, and mounted his mare.
 Halfway to the agency they met Ti- owa-konza coming down with several members of his family to visit his half breed grandchildren. Urged by Hardy. the girl broke her distraught silence to 1 tell the old chief what had happened. Before she had finished she was weep Ing in the arms of her grandfather. 1 Notwithstanding the delay, Hardy again permitted the mare to choose her own pace. Though she went at steady trot, messenger in the re- maining automobile easily could have overtaken him at any time before dark. But no messenger was sent.
 Midafternoon Hardy met the car that had taken his baggage to town. It was piled high with the baggage of the new agent and the commissioners. The chauffeur, with the indifference of a city man, whirled past him without so much as slackening speed.
