CHAPTER xXxlV.
A Desertion.

When the afternoon waned and God frey did not call on her Gerty was reused to uneasineSs. Had she angered him by refusing to make the definite promise? Could it be love- the sort of love she wanted, if he could stay away like this when they could have the - camp to themselves, every one down at the break, no Hardins running in every minute? Their first chance and God frey sighting it!
 He would surely come that evening, knowing that she would be alone The little watch Tom had given her for an almost forgotten birthday set the pace for her resentment. Nine, ten, eleven How dared he treat her so? She blew out the lamps when she found that she was shaking with anger and undressed in the dark. She could not see him, if he came now, her self-control all gone! But she could not go to bed. She stood in her darkened tent, shaken by her angry passions.
 Suppose that he were only trifiing with herr What was that paper he had thrust in her hand? With a candle she found the yellow paper. It was a copy of telegram to Godfrey's law yer. Start divorce proceedings at once. Any grounds possible. Back soon. Godfrey"
 The frightened blood resumed its normal flow. If he had done this for her then she had not lost him. An ap- parent elopement, why had she never thought of that before? That would cement their bond. Her scruples could grow on the road. Oh, she could man. age Godfreyl She would go with him. She remembered that she must go to bed if she were to have any looks in the morning.
 When Godfrey came to her next af- ternoon, penitent. refreshed after a long mornings sleep, he found charming hostess She was shy about his telegram. Enchantingly distant when he tried to reach her hand!
 ''I can't go without you," he cried. He had discovered her interpretation of his telegram and it delighted him; he began to believe in his own intention

Things began to go wild. The men were growing reckless. They were sagging toward exhaustion; mistakes were made. Another rock, as heavy as the last, was worked toward the edge. Men were thick about it with crow bars. They hurried. One concerted effort, drawing back as the rock top pied over the edge. One man was too slow, or too tired. He slipped. The watchers on the bank saw a flash of waving arms, heard q cry; they had glimpse of a blackened face as the foam caught 1t. The waters closed over him.
 There was a hush of horror; halt.
 "God himself couldn't save that poor devil" cried Marshall. "Have the work go on!'
 Pour rocks on that wretch down there? Pin him down? Never had it seemed more like war! "A man down? Ride over him! to victory!" Soberly Rickard signaled for the work to go on.
 The rock-pour stuttered ns if in f1or- TOT. The women turned sick with fear. No one knew who it was. Some poor MeXlcan, proDaDly.
 "Who was it?" demanded Rickard, running down to the track.
 '"The young Mexican, Hestrada. 'E tried to 'elp. F wasn't fit."
 "Who was it?" Marshall had run down to see why the work paused. r Rickard turned shocked eyes on his chief. 'Estrada p The beautiful mournful eyes of Eduardo were on him, not Marshall's, mortified. Now he knew why Estrada had said, 'I can't see 1t finished"
 "Rickardl" The engineer did not recognize the quenched voice. 'The work has got to go on."
 It came to Rickard as he gave tho orders that Eduardo was closer to Mar shall than to him. ''As near q son as he'll ever have" He turned a minute later to see his chiet standing bare headed. His own cap came off.
 .'We're burying the lad" said Mar-
 I.
 .he minute of funeral had to be pushed aside. The river would not wait Train after train was rushed on to the trestles; wave after wave hit them. But perceptibly the dam was steadying. The rapid fire of rock was telling.
 Another ridge of yellow waters rose. The roll of water came slowly, dwin- ding as 1t came; it broke against the trestle weakly. For the first time the trestle never shuddered. Workers and watchers breathed as a unit the first deep breath that night There was change. Every eye was on the river where 1t touched the rim of the dam. Suddenly a chorused cry rose. The river had stopped rising. The whistles screamed themselves hoarse.
 And then a girl, sitting on the bank, saw two men grab each other by the hand. She was too far away to hear their voices, but the sun, rising red through the banks of smoke, fell on the blackened faces of her brother and Rickard. She did not care who saw ter crying.

First Telephone Conversation.

The first message to be carried by a length of wire, with the human voice as a medium, was on March 10, 1876. From his room in the upper story of a boarding house at Boston. Alexander Graham Bell telephoned to his assistant, Thomas Watson, on the floor below: MT. Watson, come here, I want your That first tele- phone was adapted only to sending from one end of the line, so Watson's s reply was to rush up the stairs, shouting triumphantly, 'I heard you" It was a moment of joy for the in- ventor and his co-worker, but they still had many obstacles to overcome. Tn the following October Bell and Watson carried on conversation over a two-n1ile wire between Boston and Cambridge. At the Philadelphia exposition that year Bell exhibited a crude model of his telephone, but 1t attracted little interest

necessity for road building material.
There are loads Of it in this state. It
is pointed out that Idaho ought to own
it or control it, in any event having =
finger in the pie, to secure material
in abundance and cheaply: The manu-
facture Of cement is not without the
range Of possibilities. The coal situa-
ton is another avenue for official con-
structive though and action. The de-
mand for coal will increase and the
price will hardly go down. The sug-
gestion does not seem to be out Of
place that Idaho, or some part Of it,
take over coal fields in the interest
of the public. These are worth while
problems for all classes. Apparently,
they are lost sight Of in poll
teal eontroyersies over things that
are already cheap and which are not
universally used, especially in farming
such as electric power.

Coal Too High

A most interesting development for
Idaho relates to the price of coal. II
has been charged for long time that
the price in the southern part of the
state, from Wyoming and Utah mines,
should not exceed 81 ton, and some
have claimed Sc to be the maximum
legitimate price to the consumer. Per-
haps the latter figure is too low, but
there is now an Indication that 81 coal
is possibility. 1t came about thru
the organization of a company in
Utah, The Mutual Coal company, with
which one Idaho man is prominently
identified-Ma H. Coffin, retired
farmer of Boise. Perhaps because of
the character of the plans of the COM
pany it was possible to secure a lease
of $40 acres from the state-the Wa
satch holdings. This lease was pro-
cured at low royalty basis. The
land was desired by certain Salt Lake
coal interests but it was isolated be-
cause the property holding the key to
it. in private ownership, could not be
tied up.

Old H. C. Of L. is due for . jolt in
Idaho, if anything can be done. The
trouble seems to be that the old fel.
low does not come especially undeI
Idaho jurisdiction. He is more Of Z
national character and evidently will
have to be handled by national author
tiles. Shortly after the news came
from Washington of belated move
ment to give the people relief an
nouncement was made from the office
Of Governor Davis that this state
would be in the hunt. No details
were given but it goes without say
ing that the Idaho governor will do
everything in. his power to assist in
forcing prices down.
The situation presents two-edged
sword, however, for the present prices
are to a degree based on the cost of
production, and it is recognized that
care must be exercised not to 60 SO
far in jealous action as to interfere
with legitimately conducted business,
farming and labor. Illegitimate-the
rank profiteering is the target
that may alone be safely shot at.

Special Meetings at The Nazarene
Church.

Rev. C. E. Roberts and wife, Rev.
May Roberts, come to Emmett to be-
gin series of revival meetings ex-
tending from August IA to August 81,
inclusive. There will be two services
daily, 2:30 and p. m. and three SER
vices each Sunday. The pastor and
local workers will assist. Rev. Roberts
is an interesting and effective evan
gelist and has preached from coast
to coast and held revival meetings in
various denominations with great sue
cess. His travels around the world
and throughout the Holy Land help
to make his messages interesting and
instructive In his early life Rev.
Roberts was a wild Texas cowboy, but
he with five other brothers, who were
also cowboysJ were gloriously con-
verified and all six are now preachers
of the gospel. The story of Rev. Rob
erts' varied life is interesting indeed.
His messages will interest all classes
and no one can afford to miss the OPP
portunity of hearing him. Rev. Mrs.
May Roberts is also good preacher
and splendid singer. She and her

ings. The new church is practically
completed, is well lighted and has q
capacity of about four hundred. Rev.
C. NJ. Clements, who has had charge
of its construction, has worked faith
fully and deserves much credit for the
neatness and beauty of the new struct-
ure. The plans were drawn by the
firm of Berry & Campbell and donated
by them with other valuable services,
which the church fully appreciates.
Mr.. Delbridge, the electrician, and Mr..
Whitman, the plumber, have done
splendid work at most reasonable
prices, for which the church wishes to
publicly express thanks. The general
public is invited to come and enjoy
these revival services and get better
with us. Come and get

Some High Prices That Hurt.

R. H. Shattuck, of Los Angeles,
came to Idaho in search of new To-
,, cation. He purchased 40 acre tract
10 miles from Boise and a group of
lots in Caldwell. He planned to i'm
prove the farm at once and to con-
struct five residences in Caldwell. But
when he secured building figures and
looked into other prices he abandon
ed his plans and returned to Califor-
MIA. We have this on the authority
of the Boise Statesman, which quotes
Mr.. Shattuck at some length. Among
other things the Los Angeles man said
he could buy Idaho lumber in Cali
fornia cheaper than here, in the heart
of the timber country. He also found
plumbing costs "a cesive. Such state
ment will be regarled by some as be-
ing injurious, but there is question
if such facts should not be male pub
lie to the end that the public know
what it is up against and thereby be
in position to solve the problem. There
is another angle to the subject, and
that is that exorbitant costs are not
always where some pretended auth
critics say they are. For example, we
hear great deal about the cost of
telephones and other SER
wants, but very little about other
elements. just why the comparatively
inexpensive essentials are always em-
phasized and the others escape is one
of the apparent incongruities Of our
politics. In any event, the statement
of the Los Angeles man indicates the
desirability of every community look
ing into these worth while costs. The
high cost of living is important, but

sux1ests Moore for Governor

The return of Lieutenant Governor c
C. Moore. Of St. Anthony, to act Al
governor during the executives alb
sence in the East has revived the sug-
gestion connecting his name with the
nomination for governor on the Re
publican ticket at an appropriate time.
While Mr.. Moore has given no assent
to use Of his name in this connection
his many friends are known to be ac-
tive, and if Governor Davis should de-
eide to make run for the senatorship
it is felt they would be powerful in
fluence in the next Republican conven-
ton in Mr.. Moore's behalf.
