This Is a notable addition to our
very large number of local histories,
of which we have too few. / am dc.
cidedly OF the opinion that as mat.

encourage the preparation and publi-

Of this sort OF work must be done
before a satisfactory history of this

Recalling Early KIondIke.

Just twenty years ago at this time,
Joaquin Miller, being a true prospec-
tor, miner, and all around adventurer,
as well as poet Of nature, Joined
thousands Of others on the long trail
to the Klondlke, and wrote back that,
although his party was supposed to be
one of the first to start, on its arrival
5000 claims had already been record
ed. 1t has always been mystery how
news Of the discovery Of gold In the re-
hottest regions is carried broadcast
over the face of the earth. Where
Joaquin Miller expected to find the
quiet of his own Sierras, he found pop
ulous towns and camps, and was so
disappointed by the discovery and that
he at once took the long trail back.
The great majority Of those whom he
left behind returned more lelsurely, but
they are nearly all back now.-Chris-
tian Science Monitor.

Benefit Of Art Education.

A glimpse at the development or
trade In European countries, in which
industrial art has played such an ima
portant role, is full Of suggestion to us.
When Germany discovered at the Paris
exposition In 1873 how crude and In
artistic her exhibits we're, heE orac+ +pst
artists, laying aside their easels and
canvases, began designing textiles, wall
paper, furniture and advertisements.
The results Of these activities we wit
messed in the German Applied Arts
exhibition held In oil our large cities
few years ago. BY means Of intensive
art education in Prussia the trade
routes of the world were changed In
favor Of Germany. Trade in toys was
diverted from Switzerland, In printing
materials from England, and In dress
trimmings from France. In France and
England In similar way trade has
been developed through attention to
art education.

"Sorry 1 can't stay to see you off"
he told Buck maliciously. "I've decid-
ed to let you go alone and take your
own time about starting. AS long as
that cayuse stands where he is you're
safe as a church. And you've got the
reins. You can kick off any time you
feel like it. SabeP He studied Bucks

million that you can make that pinto
stand there till some one comes along"
he pointed out impartially. I'm will
ing to give you that chance, such as it
is. And If you're lucky enough to win
out on it-well, I'd advise you to do
some going. South America is about
as close as you'll be safe. Folks around
here are going to know all about you,
old timer, whether they get to read
what's on your back or not.
"And, on the other hand, it's mil

ticket reads. I'd hate to gamble on

a little time to think about the things
/ said to you. Well, so long,"
Ward rode back the way he had
come, glancing frequently over his
shoulder at Buck, slumped in the sad
die with a paper pinned to his back
like fire warning on a tree and his
own grass rope noosed about his neck
and connecting him with the cotton
wood limb six feet above his hat crown.
Ward had not ridden hundred yards
before he heard Buck Olney scream
Historically for help. He grinned
sourly, with his eyebrows pinched to-
gether and that hard, strained look in
his eyes still. "Let him holler awhilep'
he gritted. "Do him good, hang himv'

reached out and took the gun, turned 1t
over and hesitated. No telling what in
sane impulse fever might bring upon
him-and still-no telling what Buck
Olney might do when he discovered
that he was not in any immediate dan
ger Of hanging.
Then he removed his boots by the
simple method of Sitting the legs with
Bucks knife, barred his broken leg in
the same manner, braced himself men
tally and physically, gritted his teeth
and went dOggedly to work.
A man never knows just how much
he can endure or what he can do until
he is making his last stand in the fight
for self preservation. Ward had no
mind to lie there and die of blood poi
soning, for instance, and broken bones
do not set themselves. So, sweating
and swearing with the agony Of it, he
set his leg and bound the spllnts in
place and thanked the Lord 1t was a
straight, clean break and that the flesh
was not torn.
Then he dropped back upon the bed
and didn't care whether he lived or not.
Followed days Of fever, through which
Ward lived crazily and lost count of the
hours as they passed. Days when he
needed good nursing and did not get

The Brave Buckaroo.

Boise, lda., Dec. z5.
Brave Buckaroo-I wonder II you ever
In your whole life got a Christmas pres
eDt? I've been cultivating the Louise Of
me, and here are the first fruits of my
endeavor-I guess that's the way they say
1t. I've spent so much time sitting by
mommie when she's asleep and get tired
OF reading all the time, so a nurse in this

But they always break up into pieces. I'm
not kid now, you see. And life Is lot
different when you get out into 1t, isn't It?
Mommie doesn't seem to get much bet
ter. I'm worried about her. She seems
to have let go, somehow. She never talks
| about the ranch much or even worries
about whether Phoebe is keeping the win
dows washed. She talks about when she
was little girl and about when she and
daddy were first married. 1t gets on my
nerves to see how she has slipped out OF
everyday life. The nurse says that's COM
mon, though, in sickness She says /
could go home and look after things for
a week or so just as well as not She
says mommie would be all right But /

CHAPTER XI.
Fortune Kicks Again.

Fortune Kicks Again.
TT was past noon when Ward rode
down the steep slope to the creek
bank just above his cabin. He was
sunk deep in that mental depression
which so often follows close upon the
heels of a great outburst of passion.
Mechanically he twitched the reins and
sent Rather down the last shelf of bank
and he did not look up to see just
where he was. Rather was a well train
ed horse, since he was Wards. He
obeyed the rein signal and stepped off a
two foot bank into nest of loose piled
rocks that slid treacherously under his
feet. Sure footed, though he was, he
stumbled and fell, and it was sheer in
etinct that took Wards feet from the
stirrups in time.
Ward sprawled among the rocks,
dazed. The shock Of the fall took him
out of his 1t of abstraction and he
pulled away from Rather as the horse
scrambled up and stood shaking before
him. He tried to scramble up also.
Ward sat and stared stupidity at his
left leg where, midway between his knee
and his foot, it turned out at an unnat-
ural angle. He thought resentfully that
he had had enough trouble for once
without having broken leg on top Of
1t all.

BILLIONS WASTED EACH YEAR
That country's Water Power Is So LII
tie Used ls Reflection on clti-
zens' Intelligence.

In the early days Of this country tho
grist mill was built where there was
water power, and in time other indus
tries also located there for the same
reason, H. H. Windsor writes in Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. Many of our
largest manufacturing cities have
grown up around these grist mills. But
many of the best water powers were
so inaccessible, and the surrounding
country so unfit for agriculture, that
no mills and towns have ever taken
advantage Of the cheapest mill power
known.
Today, thanks to ths electric motor,
transmission lines, and high voltage,
the factory may locate convenient to
transportation and labor, and have the
water power brought to IL
Every "a hours there goes to waste
unused water power equivalent to the
coal energy Of 100000 tons, or $685.
100000 tons each year. At low aver
age Of present prices this waste repre-
sentS $2,000,OO0,000 yearly.
Switzerland gets her coal from Ger
many. This year the supply is only
twO-thirds of requirements, yet Swift
zerland will pay Germany over $4,000
100000 for coal. At the present mo-
ment there are undeveloped water pow
ers In Switzerland amounting to $780,
600 horse power which, with $4,000
horoa poxuar oIroodu hornaccad xuO,,lN
make Switzerland almost independent
of outside coal supply.
Our own unused water powers remain
undeveloped because the restrictions
our government demands do not appear
to private enterprise, which naturally
is reluctant to invest vast sums under
a franchise which may be terminated
at any time. With the financial burdens
with which our government will
emerge from this war, 1t will doubtless
be years before congress would feel
justified in approprlating the money
necessary to make this development.
II would seem wise, therefore, rather
than wait an indefinite number Of
years, that n franchise Of say 80 years
should be granted, with privilege Of
taking over the properties at the end
Of that time on some basis Of valuation
fair to government and owners. On
such basis development would begin
at once.
In the meantime the 100000 tons
value Of coal is rushing to the sea
every "a hours, an absolute waste,
without the slightest benefit to any
one.
