Bill ExciteS the
Tie Companies
Bill Introduced in Senate Might Re
suit i'm Streams Being Closed
Against Floating of Ties.

a bill introduced in the state senate
last Friday by Senator Kabell, re
lating to permits to drive and float
logs, timber or lumber down or upon
any stream in the state" has aroused
the ire of various timber companies
which operate tie camps along the
headwaters of the larger streams, and
the proposed measure will encounter
all possible opposition which can be
brought against by these corporations.
1t is said the provisions of the bill
would tend to prevent the use of the
streams. in transporting the timber
from the mountains to the railroads.
1t provides that the timber company
shall apply to the state engineer for a
permit, who shall issue such permit,
provided, however, and that is
where the sting is said by the
timber companies TO be located, that
no permit for the purposes herein speci-
fled shal be granted by the state engin-
Ger if remonstranSce on the part of not
less than go per cent of the water APP
propriators of record on the stream
or streams involved is filed with the
state engineer" The timber men claim
that to shut them off Of the stream
would be to absolutely isolate large
quantities Of timber and large numbers
of railroad ties and logs, as they
could not be gotten to the railroad in
any other way.

A Million Dollar

Companies Said to he Liable for Fines
ApprOXimating Nearly IA
Million Dollars.

Acting under the direction If liis-
trict Judge p. w. Metz. Couuty At
torney Frank a. Little. assisted hy -.
\. Earring, special prosecutor appoint
ed by the court, has filed in district
court Mt Basin, information charging
the Midland Carbon company ana the
Occidental Oil and Gas compan with
violations of the Wyoming carbon
black" law.
The two concerns are charged with
violations Oil IS7 counts. In case Of
conviction the maximum fines would
aggregate nearly 81 100000. and If col
lected these assessments would go into
the state school fund.
Under the anti-carbon black law pass
ed by the 1919 legislature and recently
upheld by the United States supreme
] court, the Midland company. which
operates Il plant at Cowlcy and draws
its gas from one N of the Byron field.
and the Occidental company which 90
crates at Lowell and draws its raw ma
terial from the other end of the Byron
field, We're given nine months In whic,
to conform with the provisions Of the
act. The law prohibits the manufac
ture of carbon black within ten miles
of an incorporated city or another in
dustrial plant, and provides u max
imum penalty of 81, 900 for each dag
such manufacture continued after the
nine months grace.
1t is now alleged that the two have
gone right ahead and at full blast in
spite Of the law, and that they are
therefore liable to Il fine of 81 900 a
day since October, 1919. With 4S7 days
intervening since hat time, the com

would. if collected, amount to S9T4.OOO.

Farming will never play out. In

The conditions of profitable
farming are these: A market

LXXXIX-'T Haven't Changed

No emotion plays a more powerful part in the history of human wives than jealousy.
 In almost every cast the jealous man or woman will instinctively "camouflageP Pride steps in to hide the suffering lie or she is feeling. Jealousy is weakness-and it must be hidden.
 And this "camouflage" is responsi- ble for endless misery
 It worked" now in the case ot Mary Drew.
 When Dick Calardin followed Mary into the conservatory his one thought and wish was for a reconcil- iation with the girl. Something had occurred to mar their mutual trust and happiness
 And man like, he thought thta primitive measures would win Miss Mary back to him,
 He caught her in his arms-true to "cave man" tradition,--and pressed upon her unsuspecting and tear stained little face very ardent kiss.
 For brief. ecstatic moment Mary s figure relaxed in Dicks arms, and her soft, damp check was pressed against his own. Mary closed her eyes and told herself that this was heaven
 Then jealousy. that most human and painful of all emotions. gripped the girl like cold, clutching hand.
 She drew away from him at once.
 "What-y>hat do you want? Why do you follow me here?" She put a hand up to her hair and freed herself from Dicks embrace.
 Hnr fopa of Nnipe Uae enfirntN distant and unloverzlike Dick was chilled.
 Mary. my dear. I've been so mis- erable!" Real love is generally mar ticulate, and Dick was no exception. Mary, I can't go on like this--''
 Like what" said Mary coolly, stepping from the sweet-scented dusk of the conservatory out into the lighted room beyond. "Mr. Ca- lardln, what do you want with me?'
 He faced her squareiy, his boyish face very pale, but his eyes levelled directly on her. Those vivid, honest eyes could never waver.
 You know what I want, Mary you, and nothing else I haven't changed--''
 Mary bit her lip to hide its trem- bling.
 Changed. Ah. no. perhaps notl You should rather say you've ceased pretending. That's more like the truthv
 A flash of anger--yes. and pain was glinting in her pretty, smoke blue eyes.
 Ceased Dretending?" Dick was be- wildered. Pretending what?"
 The glint remained in Mary's eyes as she made answer imperturably:

Pretending that you ever cared for me, if you want me to be spe- cifcw
 But, Mary" Dick took a step towards her and held out his hand Mary, I have always cared:'f
 "Rubbish!" rejoined Mary tersely. Jealousy. the cause of deep unhappi- ness, had her in it's grip now, and she was powerless to resist. "Mr. Calardin. l may as well tell you here and now that those easy exoressions of liking and--and admiration don't mean thing to me! They don't in- deed! Because l happen to know that there is nothing behind them, except the easy wish of a---a supern- cial man to flatter girl who has aroused his-his fleeting admira- ton"
 Dick stared at her astounded.
 This calm. self-possossed damsel, with her ready flow of words-she surely was not Mary Drew, the girl he loved--and wanted!
 He could not gauge the jealousy that spurred poor Mary on. lie could not gauge the depth of her un- pretty. soft-lipped girl, whose ap-
 
 she uttered girl who. apparently, was bent on hurting him:
 Tell me--it isn't true that you've promised to marry Mir. Bellairsg" Dick strode forward and caught her by the arm.
 His grip was painful But Mary didn't finch Nothing in the world could ever hurt her any more, she told herself.
 A demon of perversity urged her on Of course Dick did not care for her. She could not hurt him in his love, for love was non existent. But she could hurt him in his pride She could show him that he did not count for anything in her young life.
 Wounded vanity could sting. She knew it.
 why shouldn't I engage myself to anyone I choose?" Her soft lip curled And why should inform you of the fact and of my doings?''
 Dick dropped her arm and moved a step away from her. He-svas white to the lips now, and the glint in her eyes was reflected in his own. Two could play at this cruel game.
 Do you wish deliberately to ig- nore all that has passed between us?" He flung the words at Mary breathlessly. Do you wish me to understand that there is nothing nothing between you and me?'
 Mary inclined her head. It gave her queer, odd satisfaction to see the wilderness of Dicks lips. Oh he had made her suffcr-zcruelly

 And such charge as had come over all the people of the Green Forest! They knew they no longer had anything to fear from the Red Terror. which we call fire. They knew that the Green crest was now safe And at once it was as if that great fear had never been. That is the way with the people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. They waste no time in thinking of dangers that have been. They keep their wits clear to meet the dangers of the present.
 Terror, a danger in which all. from the smallest to the largest, shared had filled them with terrible fear even the most tiniid had had no oth- CT fear. Mrs. Lightfoot had hardly glanced at Old Man Coyote. when he passed close to her two pretty babies, and Jumper the Hare had sat without fear just below his worst enemy. Fowler the Bob Cat. It was the same way with all the others.
 But with the falling of the first drops Of rain sudden change had taken place. Mrs. Lightfoot had stolen away with her spotted babies and hidden them while she kept watch lest Old Man Coyote should come that way. Jumper the Hare had bounded away with his biggest jumps to get as far as possible from Yowler the Bob Cat Fear of their enemies had sprung to life In the hearts of all the small and timid people and each hurried to his safest hiding place.
