With an oath of pain and rage the

Several of the blacks saw her and
tried to intercept her flight. but the

them at n distance.
And so she won beyond the encir-

in her pony at last and voiced her

He drew his revolver and fired in the

the rivers bank. Hanson hailed them.
But there was no sign of the Hon.
Morrison Baynes.
In accordance with their masters In
structions the blacks manned a canoe
and rowed across. Hanson placed Me-
riom in the little craft and entered it
himself, leaving two boys 20 watch the
horses, which the canoe was 90 return
for and swim across TO thc camp side
of The river.
Once Ia the camp Moriem asked for
Bayuos. For the moment her fears

camp, which she had come TO look
upon as more or les, Of a myth. Han
son pointed toward the single tent that
stood in the center OF the inclosure.

Hap aside and motioned her within.
Merlem entered and looked about. The
tent was empty.
She turned toward Hanson. There
was broad grin on his face.
"Where is Mir. Baynes?' she de
manded.

Idaho is very mountainous and
the name is derived from the
Shoshone Indian word meaning
gem of mountains"
The first white explorers were
undoubtedly Lewis and Clark on
their memorable trip in iSOi-5.
Idaho was a part of Oregon
territory, which was jointly oc-
cupied by British and Americans
until the Treaty OF 1916 definite
~ turned over 10 the United
States the country south OF the
49th parallel. I'm 1868 Idaho
was organized MS q territory,
with an area three times the SIZE
OF the present state, as Ii n-
cluded Montana and part Of
Wyoming. Tie next year Mon
tana was set on for q territory
by itself. and in 1865 Wyoming
was organized so that in 1890
when idaho was admitted as
the forty-third state of the Tn
ion, its area was reduced 10 So
SIS square miles. Even so it
ranks as tie eleventh state in
size.
The rapid settlement Of Idaho
was due TO tAe discovery OF gold,
the same cause which - rapidly
built up the adjacent states. 1t
was I'm lSN2 that gold was found
at Occur d'Alcne i'll the northern
part Of the state, and miners I'M

in great numbers.
There was serious labor trou-

ton in 1892 and again in 1890,
when martial law was cstab-
lished until peace between the
minels and mine owners was
effected.
