and threw themselves. against the pail,
SADIE, wet and chilled from the rain,
but yet madly, recklessly, Americans
and foreigners alike. They would hold
it by main strength for another min
ute, they swore, oblivious to- the fact
that just as soon as it went it would
go with rush. ~ =. s2ysa !,
The stockade would be swept away
first, and they would go with it. What
Of that2 The men back Of it matched
their brawny arms against rain and
wind, the powers of man against the
powers Of God, but not mockingly. It
is perhaps doubtful if they realized
what they did. It was instinct, habit,
blind desperation now. IF the fimsy
wall failed under the terrific water
pressure, they would be hurled beneath
it, swept down the slope of the dam,
buried in the debris as it was swept
away, caught up if they by any chance
survived so far, and hurled, broken and
battered, down the valley in the ter
rible flood that would ensue. What
did they know about that, or knowing,
what did they care, as they strained
at the wavering timber wall? And
still they held as the rain poured down
on them, soaking through their soggy
clothes, the colder on their exhausted
bodies for the keen wind that blew
across them.
Well, they had done everything they
could. Vandeventer jumped down and
pressed himself against the nearest
timber with the men and waited, silent.
He had never sustained such a pres
sure in all his life. Like Atlas, he
felt as if he were holding up world.
And the knocking thing about it all
was his feeling, nay his realization,
that he was not really holding any,
thing, that if the palisades failed, his
pressure, his resistance and that of all
the other men amounted to nothing.
Yet he held on, and they, too-den1i-
| gods.

CHAPTER XVI,
The Ancient Art of Fascination.

The Ancient Art of Fascination.
And much Of the last wild hurricane
of work took place under the observa-
ton Of a woman!
From the top Of the txs mesa there
was clear view Of the new reservoir,
from the dam on one side far, back into
the hills on the other. In spite of
the tremendous downpour and the
fierce gale Helen Illingworth stood ex-
posed to both attacks, and, indeed, in
different to them-albeit protected by
slicker and boots and sou'wester-fas-
cinated by the titanic struggle between
nature and man of which she was a
witness.

and Miss Illingworth had produced

the water were as high as the top
there'd only be two feet Of head in the
uncompleted spillway, and that
wouldn't be enough to discharge it at
the rate it's been coming in"
"Of course" said Vandeventer
thoughtfully. "And if the dam goes"
he added, "there are ten miles of back
water up there and millions of cubic
yards impounded, which would sweep
down the valley. There wouldn't be
a thing left Of the camp, the town, the
new railroad bridge, or. anything else"
Coming on top of the international,
the loss of this big and expensive via
duct would about finish the Martlet
company said Meade thoughtlessly.
Vandeventer looked at him sharply.
An idea suddenly came to him. Meade
had turned away his head as he real
lied his slip, SO he did not observe the
light in Vandeventers eyes. However,
the resident engineer was a good sort.
"You are right" he said quickly. ~
hate to call out the men, but we've got
a little chance, now the rain has
stopped, and we can work to advantage
in spite of all this awful mud"-he lift
ed his foot up and disclosed it caked
and clogged with masses. "I'll take
| charge in the center here, and Stafford
on the left, and I'm going to give you
charge Of the east end of the dam, over
by the spillWay. If only those drills
civ
eve might set the men to work on
that rock now" said Meade.
1T would be useless. There's too
much of it. No, if we're going to save
the dam, we've got to build it up and
| try to keep ahead Of the waters il
they rise any more. The higher we
can build it the greater will be the
head on the spillway, and the. more
| will be discharged. I'll turn the men
| out at once"
| but what are you going to dO?"
''I'm going to palisade the top Of the
dam. There's plenty of timber already
cut down, and we will cut a lot OF
young pines and build palisade wall
of timber across the top three or -four
feet back from the edge. Well banked
on the downstream side, it may hold
ut might be worth while, to line thai
palisade with galvanized iron sheet:
from the houses" said Meade.
"A good idea," said Vandeventer
"and We'll pile what underbrush ant
small stuff we have in front Of thu
palisade and heap what rocks we cal
find on top Of that and We'll bank i
up on the other side with earth. It's :
poor dependence, but it will hold for :
while anyway, and every moment O
time may be precious.'
''How about sandbags, sir?"
"We've got a few hundred cemen
bags, but not enough. wish we ha,
a few thousand; however, we will fl
what we have, and if the water rise
and begins to tricLle over the top AM
through the palisade, We'll jam th:os
down at the danger points. Can yo1
suggest anything more?"
"Nothing."
'Good. Well turn out the men
They've had six hours sleep anyway.

Of fruit after arrival at destinations on
their lines, thus equalizing the privi-
leges heretofore granted to California
shippers. Before this was accom-
plished, if car was diverted at des-
tination on the Grand Trunk Ry. ship
pers had to pay the local rate from the
first destination to the second. After
this was accomplished, the Canadian
Pacific Ry. changed their tariffs like
wise.

for the publication of 7c per hundred

effect during the season of 1916.

Studebaker Battery Driven Overland

A battery of nine new 1917 model
Studebaker automobiles arriving here
from Portland over the Highway SUM-
day afternoon created keen interest
on the part of local motorists. The
machines were being driven through to
Sunnyside, Wash. A garage concern of
that city, fearing delay on account of
the threatened strike on the part of
railway brotherhoods, hurried the cars
to their display rooms overland. The
drivers of the Studebaker battery had
unstinted praise for the Multnomah
end of the Highway, but declared that
the Hood River end was still too rough
for comfortable driving.

TO
Fruit Growers
Northwestern Fruit Exchange
No. 25..TranspOrtatiOn
Department
TO FRUIT GROWERS:

Transportation is the great "staff of
life" Of all commerce. 1t is a great,
comprehensive complex and highly
technical subject, which can be dealt
with successfully only by trained ex-
perts. This is especially true as re-
poets perishable fruits. Fruit tariffs
are extremely technical and complicat-
ed, and are constantly undergoing
changes. These tariffs cover not only
transportation rates, but lay down
the rules for ventilation, for protec-
tion from freezing, for refrigeration,
for diversion, for demurrage and every
other detail of the service. The rules
applying on certain lines do not neces-
sarily apply on Others. All this in
wolves expert work on the part of the
shipper or his agency if the growers
interests are to be broadly protected
throughout. The almost universal
terms of sale in the fruit trade
whether as respects oranges, or apples,
or what not-are SUBJECT TO IN
SPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE AT
DESTINATION" In other words,
the absent buyer very naturally and
properly wants to make sure that the
seller has delivered what the buyer or
dered. Practically, this places the
burden of the transportation risk on
the seller, and makes it absolutely es-
sential that the seller provide himself
with the best facilities for protection.
A lack of all trades" is usually
master of none." The EXCHANGE
has always worked on the principle
that each of its operating departments
should be completely organized and
manned with professional talent of the
best quality available.
J. CURTIS ROBINSON, manager of
the TRANSPORTATION DEPART
MENT of the N NORTHWES ESTER N
FRUIT EXCHANGE, has occupied
this important position for six and a
half years, or ever since the EX-
CHANGE began business. He was
selected for his particular fitness for
this work, having spent his life in the
transportation business. He has three
trained assistants in his department.
The department concerns itself exclu-
sively with matters of transportation
and telegraph traffic. Its functions are
very broad and its service of vital i'm
portance to every grower-patron of the
EXCHANGE. These functions are
briefly as follows:
