RELIEF PROGRAM
IS WORKED OUT
Delinquents Obtain Aid
From Reclamation
Service.

Relief for Boise project farmers who
are delinquent in payments to reclama-
ton department on construction and
operation charges is taking tangible
form. Wednesday, J. B. Bond, pro-
ject manager, and Caldwell bankers
discussed features of the plan for ex-
tending time for payments under au-
thorization of recently passed legisla-
ton.
There is no disposition on the part
of the reclamation service to work
hardship on settlers who are delin-
quent, Mr.. Bond assured those who
conferred with him. On the project
about $4,000 is due on 1920 charges.
Farmers thus far in arrears can yet
obtain further relief by making sat-
isfactory showing and complying with
certain regulations governing reports
that must be made.
No one will be denied water on pro-
ject lands through inability to meet
payments. However, penalties in the
form on interest at 6 per cent on de-
linquent construction charges and
per cent per month on operation and
maintenance charges make prompt
payments advisable where possible.
Delinquencies for 1920 and the few
that remain of 1919 will be taken care
of under these new regulations. For
, 1921 delinquencies, no regulations have
yet been made. and no effort will be
made just at present to tie up thse de-
linquencies until later in the season.
Many are expected to pay last years
costs before such steps are taken.
This relief extends until January l.,
1923. While the law provides that in
case of sufficient showing this relief
may be extended to include an entire
project, here it will be made only for
individuals.

Caldwell eggs marketed through the
Pacific Cooperative Poultry Produc-

telegram received Wednesday from
A. F. Talcott, local poultryman and
member of the board of directors of

directors of the association. A single
pool will include eggs from bo.h
Caldwell and Portland in the future
and Idaho producers will receive

change, which is expected to prove
popular with Idaho association mem

Mr. Schultz, Riverside farmer who
has large flock of hens signed with
the association, outlined his experience
with the association. He characterized
the contract as one with teeth in it,
and asserted that in his opinion, one
solution for association problems was
to compel members to live up to their
contracts. Mr. Schultz asserted that

He was in a fever to be gone. He

began examining the strings. AS Molly
gave them to him she suddenly per-
ceived that one Of the strings was
broken And there flashed into her
mind the memory of her discovery be-
side the portage on that day when she
saved Wilton.
She would not let the dark thought
in her heart come into consciousness.
But she kneeled at the factors side,
her arms around him. What is trou-

She left him, and, with a singular
clarity of mind, as If there were moth
ing more to fear or hope, and no room
for further feeling, she went to the
door and looked out across the snow
bound wilderness.
She saw a figure tramping through
the snow toward the mission And
thus Jim Belts found her.

"I cared for Joe. I admired and re-
spected him"
"But not in tie same way? You
couldn't love two men in that way at
the same timer"
NO" said Kitty TREMENDOUSLY.
"In fact, after the first shock was
over, you felt that life might become
worth living again?''

Kitty desperately.

with a meaning glance toward the
jury. Don't let me perplex you. Now

Only a thread divided the tense

tinguishable pathos. The attorney
snapped in:

In laughter. Even the Judge placed
his hand across his mouth.
"Then will you tell me how you
two came to be seen kissing and en-
bracing one evening on the shores of
Big Muskeg? But I won't press that
question. We shall have further evil
dence to offer"
The mischief was done. The net
that had been woven about Wilton
could not be broken by the hypothesis
of conspiracy. Kitty's confession of
her love supplied stronger argument
against him, and threw the dark
shadow of collision about her, too. Me-
chanically Payne called the next wit
ness.
But before he could take the stand
there came sounds of an uproar in the
street. There was a struggle at the
entrance. Then, to the amazement of
all, Molly stood in the doorway.
Jim Belts was with her, and to-
gether they supported the frsil form
of Mcdonald.
Unhindered, they went down che
courtroom, while the spectators gaped,
and suddenly, standing up in their
places, gave rousing, riotous cheers,
unhindered and unrebuked.
Despite the general belief in VIII
toms guilt, stories concerning Bowyer's
presence at the camp on the night of
the fire had been widely bruited.
The party were still advancing when
Bowyer loosed himself in one of his
paroxysmal RACES.

Molly, with a little cry, ran TO the
dock and flung herself into Wilton's
arms And at this the building rang
again with the spectators cheers. Il
was not for a full minute that the
guard drew her away.

CHAPTER Xxx
The Guilty Mani


EFT and Lee Chambers had established
the fact, ascertained by search-party
on the day after the fire, that there
we're no human remains under the
charred timbers of the camp. Notwfrn-
standing this, when the attempts made
TO trace Mcdonald and his daughter
failed, it was generally believed that
they had been lured there by the out
laws. and had either died in the flames
or had been murdered and their bodies
disposed Of.
Jim Belts had nothing more substan-
tial than anyone else on which to base
his search. He was resolved to free
Wilton, and, having failed with Kitty,
he determined to discover the other
woman who, he felt sure, had been
mixed up in Wilton's life-if she
still lived.
Jim Belts built up the theory that
Wilton had arrived at the camp too
late to save the girl from Bowyer, and
that. half-crazed, she had fled with her
father into the wilderness. He went
to the fishing camp and spent day
prowling among the ruins, but he
learned nothing there. Then he went
to the store. 1t was still empty, for
a new trading post was being estab-
Hshed northward, and the company had
not replaced the factor perhaps would
not do so. Belts broke in.
EVERYTHING was as it had been on
the night of the fire. But Belts quick
IL discovered that someone had been
there since. For in the dust that Gov

That was all the clue Belts got, but
it satisfied him. He cast about him,
northward and eastward going into
every Indian encampment and talking
with the inhabitants. But it was a
week before he got his second clue.
Molly and ner father left Wilton be
side the road and crept stealthily into
the underground. When they were a
sufficient distance from the camp they
made wide detour, crossed the road
and took the trail back toward the
portage, encountering nobody on the
way.
There the factor got $500, and
made up a pack of food sufficient
for two weeks journey. They put
on their snowshoes and started east

Molly had noticed that the factors
