ter may bring advice to other sufferers:
CDR. j. F. True & Co.: Having heard

point, he Is going to build hundred
and fifty miles north to connect with
the main line Of the Southern Pacific
in Oregon"
"But wouldn't that be the finest
thing that could possibly happen to
Humboldt countyw she demanded of
him.
Undoubtedly it would-to Hum
boldt county; but to the Laguna
Grande Lumber company, in which you
have something more than sentiment
tai interest my dear, it would be
blow. A large part Of the estate left
by your father is invested in Laguna
Grande stock. and as you know, all of
my efforts are devoted to approaching
that stock and to fighting against any
thing that has tendency to depreciate
it."
Carefully he dissected a sand-dab
and removed the backbone. I'D give
a ripe peach to learn the identity of
the schemfng buttinsky who bought
old Cardigan's Valley of the Giants"
he said presently. "Tn be hanged if
that doesn't complicate matters a
little"
You should have bought it when
the opportunity offered" she reminded
him.
Il dare say" he admitted lightly.
"However, l didn't and now I'm going
to be punished for it, my dear; so
don't roast Inc any more. BY the way,
that speckled hot-air fellow Ogilvy,
who is promoting the Northern Cali
fornia & Oregon railroad, is back in
town again. think I'll wire the San
Francisco office to look him up in
Dun's and Bradstreet's. I'd sleep
whole lot more soundly tonight if l
knew the answer to two very important
questions"
"What are they, Uncle Seth?"
swell, I'd like to know whether the
N. c. o is genuine or a screen to hide
the operations of the Trinidad Red
wood Timber company"

culiar to women. "be a screen to hide
the operations of Bryce Cardigan.
Now that he knows you aren't going
to renew his hauling contract, he may
have decided to build his own logging
railroad"
After a pause the Colonel made
answer: mo, have no fear Of that.
It would cost five hundred thousand
dollars to build that twelve-mile line
and bridge Mad river, and the Cardi-
gans haven't got that amount of
money. What's more, they can't get
it."
But suppose" she persisted, shat
the real builder of the road should
prove to be Bryce Cardigan, after all
What would you do?"
Colonel Pennington's eyes twinkled

should actually build a road from
Sequoia to Grants Pass, Ore, and
thus construct feeder to a trans
continental line?"
Five minutes of serious reflection
sufficed to bring the Colonel to the
verge Of panic, Notwithstanding the
fact that he was ashamed of himself
for yielding to fright despite his firm
belief that there was no reason why
he should be frightened. Similar con-
siderations occur to small boy who
is walking home in the dark past a
cemetery.
The vital aspects Of his predica-
ment dawned on the Colonel one night
at dinner, midway between the soup
and the fish. So forcibly did they &C.
cur to him, in fact, that for the nonce
he forgot that his niece was seated
opposite him.

Bryce nodded and passed on, hailed
a taXicab, and was driven to the San
Francisco office of his company. Five
minutes later the door opened and
Buck Ogilvy entered.

things, in his minds eye Mr.. Ogilvy
could already see a long trainload of
logs coming down the Northern Cali
fornia & Oregon railroad, as he and
Bryce had decided to christen the ven
ture.
When Bryce Cardigan returned to
Sequoia, his labors, in so far as the
building of the road were concerned,
had been completed. His agreement
with Gregory of the Trinidad Redwood
Timber company had been signed,
sealed and delivered; the money to
build the road had been deposited in
bank; and Buck Ogilvy was already
spending it like a drunken sailor.
From now on, Bryce could only watch.

CHAPTER XII.

When Bryce Cardigan walked down
the gangplank at the steamship dock
in San Francisco, the first face he saw
among the waiting crowd was Buck
Ogilivy's. Ogilvy thrust forth a great
speckled paw for Bryce to shake.
Bryce ignored it.
"Why, don't you remember me?"
Ogilivy demanded I'm Buck Ogilivy."
Bryce looked him fairly in the eye
and favored him with lightning wink.

"Why believe he WILL" Pennington
replied sober]y.
I'D love to see you beat him.
SHIRLEY! Why my dear. you're
growing ferocious." Her uncle's tones
were laden with banter, but his counte-
nance could not conceal the pleasure
her last remark had given him.
Shirley thrust out her adorable chin
aggressively. "Sick 'em, Tige" she
answered. "Shake 'em up, boy"
you bet I'll shake 'em up" the
Colonel declared joyously. He paused
with a morsel of food on his fork and
waved the fork at her aggressively.

ley. My mind has been singularly dull
of late; have worried unnecessarily,

smote the table. "We'n sew 'em up
tighter than a new buttonhole."
"Do tell me how" she pleaded
eagerly.
"Tll block them on their franchise to

"How?"
"By making the mayor and the city

"Good news. Suppose you invite
her and Poundstone here for dinner
some night this week. Just quiet
little family dinner, Shirley, and after
dinner you can take Mrs. Poundstone
upstairs, on some pretext or other
while I sound Poundstone out on his
attitude toward the N. G. O."
She nodded. II shall attend to the
matter, Uncle Seth"
Five minutes after dinner was over,
Shirley joined her uncle in the library
and announced that His Honor the
Mayor, and Mrs. Poundstone, would be
delighted to dine with them on the
following Thursday night.

RAISE TEACHERS SALARY
School Boards Over the State are Pay.
 ing Teachers More Money.

Little Rock, May 25.-SpeciaD- of the gratifying signs of progress in Arkansas is the continued growth of sentiment in favor of increased pay for our public school teachers. State in stitutions as well as special and rural school districts all over the state are granting their teachers higher salaries realizing that only by these means will it be possible to retain the services of those upon whom tile education of our youth depends. The disproportionabl ble pay of teachers and those engaged in purely manual labor has been brought f0rcefully to the attention of the pub lie. The protest which the teachers finally had courage to make has yield ed definite results and in consequence the schools of Arkansas should be placed upon hgher plane of effici- ency. The people are ever ready to pay the cost of good schools The school tax is one tax to which they offer little protest.

POTATO GROWERS HOLD
 IMPORTANT MEETING
Temporary Organization Effected and Building Committee Appointed.
 Site Is Selected,

An important meeting of the potato growers was held at the court house in this city Saturday afternoon. Geo.
 M Johnston was elected chairman and
 Chas. H. Park secretary It was learn ed that an average had been pledged
 which would justify curing house of 10000 bushels capacity. The growers
 hoped to hit upon some means of fin
 ancing the building of the curing house
 out of the proceeds of the crop in the
 same manner as the growers at Tex
 arkana did last year, and which proved successful. The paper was handled in that case by the banks and was easily taken care for after the crop was mar keted.
 A committee was appointed known
 as a building and finance committee.
 The committee follows: c. H. Park,
 E. C. Henry, D. l.. Baggarly, L. F..
 Wheelis, s. A, Maddox, H. P. Haizlip.
 The work will be largely in the hands or tn1S committee rom now on. luey held a meeting Monday night and
 made some plans, and they may pur- chase lots on the M. D and G. right of-way on Owens strett from S. A. Maddox. They have the matter under consideration.
 It is hoped that they will have no trouble in putting this proposition over
 as it is safe route to more money on the farm and has borne the tests of actual practice in many sections, some
 of them near at hand. It is on one safe
 way to get out from the bondage of the one crop system, which is a curse to the prosperity of any country. And so long as credit is based only on cot ton this system will be harder to break. If the farmers can put this thing over, it is business that will grow and be- come an important one

SURPRISES OF SLOW WORK
Northern Visitor Surprised at Slow
 Development in Arkansas.

Little Rock, May 25.-(SpeciaD - A visitor from the North called at the Agricultural Department last week one day and expressed his surprise at the lack of development in the many things in which Arkansas might we'll excell other states. For instance he declares that there is in Arkansas enough of phosphate deposits to fer tilize ever foot of land in the state until it became the most fertile on the earth. The deposits in Independnce county alone are richest known and yet only the surface has been touched He predicted that unless enterprisine Arkansans should take advantage oi these opportunities, progressive men from other states might be expected tC come into the state and reap the rich hGrvests which we persist in over looking.
 Something of this same spirit has been brought back to the State by the members of the Profitable Farming party which last week made a tour of Iowa, Illinois and Missouri The met hods they found employed in states far less favored than Arkansas, pro- ductive of prosperous farms and a happy and prosperous people, have opened their eyes to the possibilities that lie dormant all about us in Ark ansas. Beyond any doubt, Arkansas has not fully awakened to it's possi- bilities,

CARRANZA. TIE MEXICAN
 DICTATOR, IS SLAIN
Fleeing President Meets His Death by Assassination i'll JungleS; Own
 Men turn on Him.


 Washington, May 22. - Venustiano Carranza has joined the many Latin American dictators wao have ended their stormy careers in flight and death.
 A fugitive in the mountains of Pueb- la, the old man who kept the United States and Mexico in broiI for five years, was killed Thursday by some of the troops which had protected him as bodyguard in his flight from Mex ico City
 Whether he fell fighting or a vic tim of the celebrated Ley Fuega,' which made dead men of Madero and Suarez, or was murdered in a coup d'etat is obcured in fragmentary in- formation coming from the tropical fastnesses of TlaXcaltenango, where he died
 Early dispatches today from Mexico City said Carranza had been killed in an attack led by General Herrera, who had gone with him in flight, but later dserted to the revolutionists. The an- nOuncement, made at headquarters of General Obregon, head of the revolu- tionary movement, gave the impression that Carranza had died in battle But later advices to Fl Paso charge Car ranza had been made prisoner and assassinated in cowardly manner and said several friends who were with him had sent a protest to Gen. Pablo Gonzalez.
 Death Was FOretOld.
 The full story may not be immed- lately known, and even then may be the subject of dispute. But it does bring to mind prophecy, said to have been made by nun, which is now being talked about in Mexico
 The nun prophesied, the report said, that after Mexico had seen three Franciscos in public life she would have for president an old man with a beard who would meet a violent death, and that he would be succeeded by president who mounted his horse from the wrong side, The prophecy also added that therafter Mexico would lose it's independence.
 There have been three Franciscos in Mexico's public life since the prophecy was made, They were Fran cisco de la Barra. now an exile; Fran cisco Madero, the murdered president Of 1913, and Francisco Villa, the ban- dit leader. Carranza was well known for his whiskers. Obregon, who led the revoult against him and is expect ed by many to succeed him, lost an arm in the battle of Celaya with Villa and mounts his horse from the wrong side"

leaf is more than four inches across. The main stem of the plant is less than four feet, of a decided green color and about three-sixteenths to one-fourth inch thick. Each leaf has a purple star-shaped spot on the upper surface at the point where the veins begin near the stem.
 The veins are purple on the under side of the leaf and the tops of the leaves are hairy.
 The color of the potato is yellow and the flesh is pinky yellow. The Nancy Hall generally is well formed, about five to seven inches long and about two and one-half inches in diam- eter.
