Idaho are invited to compete in
contests in connection with this
corn show, which IS held under
the auspices Of the First Ma
tional Bank and Northwestern
Trust Company of st. Paul and
bankers of the Northwest. The
territory has been divided into
thirty-four districts. Equitable
competition prevails for indi-
vidual district contestants SO
far as soil and climatic condi-
tions are concerned.
One hundred and thirty-six
silver and "goldyn" bronze low
ing cups will be awarded as
prizes. A first and second prize
for men and a first and second
prize for boys will be awarded
in each district. Individual ex-
hibit5 will consist of ten ears of
any variety of Indian corn.
No Entry Fee.
No entry fee will be charged
contestants for entering corn.
Contestants must grow their
corn in a field Of one acre or
more. The grower is at liberty
to drill or check the corn, to cul-
tivate and ferti.ize as he may
think best. Exhibits will be re-
turned to owners where request
is made that this be done at the
time of making entry. Men rec
ognized as national authorities
on corn will judge exhibits. The
corn entered for prizes from
each district will be judged by
what the judges consider to be
a recognized standard for any
variety of corn raised in that
particular district. Average size,
productiveness, breed type and
general appearance will be the
principal governing features.

CHAPTER Xxx.
The vIetera.

d {.
Meade knew that they were fighting
a losing battle. Every one of the
higher grade men knew 1t also. The
spillway was entirely inadequate, but
1t suddenly flashed into his mind, with
that consciousness of the hopelessness
of the struggle. that perhaps there was
another way to discharge the flood.
The same idea might have come to
any other Of the more intelligent Of the
men from Vandeventer down II they
had taken a moment for reflection. II
they had not been 80 frantically. SO
frightfully engrossed in their present
puny but gallant efforts to save the
dam. they certainly would have remem-
bered. That the possibility came to
Meade rather than to any Of the others
was perhaps due to the fact that he
had noted the situation later and had
studied the conditions more recently.
Those solitary rambles Of his, those
careful inspections Of the terrain Of
the valley, had been made long after
the original surveys and the results Of
his observations were stili fresh In his
mind.
The water was rising 20 rapidly
since the cloudburst and he saw the
ineyitableness Of the failure 30 clearly
TINT he did not dare to wnste time to
look mp vandeventer. tell him his plan,
and get his permission. Every second
was Of the utmost value. When the
thought came. he acted instantly. He
was in the position Of the commander

carefully covered with the raincoat. he
held 1t while the others filled In the
holes and the excavations and care
fully tamped down the earth. All that
remained was the lighting of the fuse.
And then? Would the dynamite go
of? With fuses It was uncertain In its
action at best, and although these
fuses were supposed to be 30 prepared
as to be Independent Of weather con-
ditions, more ofteL than not ruin

was gQod-by dam-good-by everything.
Meade drew out from the pocket of
his flannel shirt box Of matches. He
Ind to light the farther cartridge fuse,
then run fifteen feet and light the
nearer one, and then make his escape.
He had made the nearer fuse little
shorter 30 rs to secure simultaneous
explosion II possible.
Tony Funaro now interposed gal
lnntiy.
SILVA me da light" he demanded, ex-
tending his hand.
"G'wan wild ye," shouted the big
Irishman eagerly; 'Iemme do it, sor."
"Stapd back, both of you," cried
Meade, succeeding after some trouble
in striking a match.
He had cut on shorter length Of
fuse for torch, the better to carry the
fire from one blast to another. As it
sputtered into flame, he touched the
first fuse, then the second, and turned
and ran for his life after Murphy and
Funaro. They had just got a safe dis
lance away when with a muffied roar
the two blasts went OF nearly together.
When they ran back they saw that
two-thirds Of the hillock on that side
Of the rnyine had gone. A wall of
earth through which water was already
trickling rose between the great gap
they had blown out and the lake, the
upper level of which was much higher
than the bottom of the great crater
they had opened.
"Hurrah," yelled Meade, the others

With two men working. the last hole
was completed before Meade WINS
ready. Funaro. indeed, came to his
assistance in preparing the cartridge.
Presently all was completed. Reject
ing the pleas Of both men, Meade
struck the match, and this time, since
there was but one blast to be fred. he
touched 1t directly to the fuse and
waited q second to see that It had
caught and ran as before.
At safe distance they drew back
and waited. Nothing happened. A few
seconds dragged on. They saw no sign
of life in the fuse, no light. In spite
Of the care they had taken, It had got
wet. It would not work. The precions
moments were flying. They stared
agonizingly at the fuse through the
rain.

Meade desperately.

Each stick WINS an inch and q half In

The men waited while Meade select

and detonating caps should never be

the combination 10 greatly increased
the risk Of premature explosion.
The illuminate Of mercury in the

blow on q mans hand, or even his
head, and In its explosion might deto-

NEW STYLES OF PAPER
MONEY IN CIRCULATION

Part of the new government issue
of currency has reached Montana, fol
lowing on the heels of the dimes
quarters and halves which arrived q
short time ago.
The new issues are of 81 and So
notes to the amount of S1O0,0OO,0OO
and the treasury department hopes
that the new notes of low denomina-
ton will relieve the shortage that has
existed in silver change, particularly
dollars.
The 81 note bears the face of
George Washington on the front, with
view in the upper left-hand corner
of the mariners urging Columbus to
give up his search for the new land.
1t has a green back of familiar hue,
but novel design, large "X" appear
ing in the center, with the words,
"United States of America" on its
arms.
The new 50 note carries the face
