While the news from Washington
that President Harding opposes any
appropriation at the present time for
further reclamation development is
disappointing. at the same time is does
not mean that progress is impossible
with relation to Idaho irrigation pro-
jects, and more especially the Ameri-
can Falls enterprise, according to a
statement issued today from the head
quarters of the Idaho Reclamation
Association.
while II is entirely probable that
the Presidents attitude, taken as
stated on economic grounds and not
because of opposition to reclamation
development, ends the high hopes OF
enactment at this time of the McNary-
Smith BILL" this statement says, I'VE
know that there are funds available
that can be used to materially aid re-
clamation construction In Idaho. These
are buried funds arising from a var
ity of sources such as unused appro-
priations, proceeds from land sales,
etc, that amount to a large sum.
To Dig Buried Funds.
1.-THE Idaho Reclamation Associa-
ton is doing everything possible 10
have these buried funds disentombed
and applied. The money is there, and
has been located In more or less obs
cure accounts, and there are several
million dollars OF II. We are insisting
upon It's being applied, and WI shall
be especially persistent on behalf oil

ity of the enactment of the McNary-
Smith bill.
Retards Production.
"The Association regrets that Pre-
sident Harding has taken this action
and believes he might better have en-
forced economies elsewhere than 70
have directed It TO the future produc'
reclamation appropriation as this
time should not be abandoned by THU
Association, and II Is urging the Idaho
delegation TO continue to endeavor Il
secure favorable action on the MI
Nary-Smith bill, and II nothing can b'
done in that direction we feel SURE
that by united effort these buried
funds can be dug up and applied in
manner that Will tide us over"

hands of lanky woodchopper laid
open an ugly cash across his head.
Half-dazed, he was trying to wink

opened narrow swath, halfway
through the circle to his friend. But
just there somebody struck him above
the ear with the fiat of barrel stave.
The ripple subsidized; the swath closed.
The Pearlhunter's last friend was
down and out.
The rope was flung over a limb.
Half a hundred hands. some of them

The rope tightened--slowly. A hush
fell on the mob hush so deep that
the creak of the Tightening rope could
be distinctly heard. That last final
scene. the last stroke that stops life

the last light tips of his toes left the
grass; flames ran up and down his
spine; the world turned black.
There came a sudden dash of hoofs,
and man rode straight at the mob.

dangling man, and with one slash of |
a huge iackknife, cut the rope.

arm of the horseman, dropped limp |

THE LYncHERs.

Synopsls.-Never having known
his father, and living with his
mother on a houseboat on the Wa
bash river, Pearlhunter-the only
name he has-learns from her a
part of the story of her sad life.
He meets a young girl whom he
mentally christens the Wild Rose
She eludes him before he can make
her acquaintance. A vacant cabin
on the shore has attracted the at
tention of tie alling woman, and
they move into 1t. Their first meal
is interrupted by the Man-in- the-
Fancy-Vest Pearlhunter strikes
him Gunplay threatens. The
mother dramatically drives the
intruder away. She says he is the
"Other Man" whom she has not
seen for 20 years They find red
mask dropped by the Other Man.
That night Pearlhunter finds the
Blue Moon, great freshwater
pearl. His mother dies without re-
vealing his fathers name. Pearl
hunter anc the Other Man meet In
the village; a pistol fight is mar
rowly averted. Peasihunter be-
lieves him to be the Red Mask
criminal. Pearlhunter rescues Wild
Rose from the Other Man and
meets Wild Man, her father. He
is a man of culture, crazed from
conclusion of the brain. the result
OF an attack by someone wearing
red mask. Nobody knows his
Identity; he is known at the post
office simply as Box %. Pearl
hunter proposes that he sell the
Blue Moon and send for surgeon
to operate. wild Rose agrees.
Pearlhunter sells the Blue Moon
for 5000 to Louie Solomon. The

steals the Blue Moon. Pearlhunter

The answer was not convincing.

steps and leveled his revolver full at
the Pearlhunter's breast, like a man
about to pistol another and deliberate
ly planning to make a clean job of it.
The instant came when the Pearl
hunter believed the grlmy finger was
about to press the trigger and he was
almost in the act of diving beneath
the muzzle when the Jew motioned to
one of the others and said something
in Yiddish.
The man spoken to darted away
through the bushes toward the boat
landing. The Pearhunter breathed
again.
The man soon reappeared. carrying
a piece of rope. One at time. he
took the Pearlhunter's hands, drew
them behind his back. and bound
them securely together. Even then,
so great was their dread of the man
he was supposed to be. that one of
them constantly held a gun on him.
With the knife still sticking in the
dead mans breast they carried him
down TO the boat, driving the PEARL
hunter before them. There they load

and rowed back up the river to the
village-the second time that day the

eyes; caught the glitter of a sheriff's
star upon the vest of his rescuer.
II Is marvellous how one brave man,
with the law behind him, can awe a
mob.
"Who is this MANI" yelled the
sheriff.
A man, whose mouth had been
mashed by a butt OF the Pearlhunter's
head, clawed the red mask up from
the ground, trampled and soiled, but
still unmistakable, and held 1t high.
The sheriff started; glared hard at
