CHAPTER xi

In Which We Begin to Find Motive.
BARLEY had some work for me to
do. and did not dine until the 9TH
ers had finished. While | WAS eating.
Currie wandered into the dining room
and sat down beside me. The MUIR
der had taken all the life out OF him.
II was the first time thar he had
come so close 10 a crime. lie seemed
unable 10 forget the cry and those
awful moments In the darkened room.
We discussed the affair for a while;
then | excused myself and went In
search OF BARLEY.
i had been THINKING for hours OF
the latest crime, and no solution had
come TO me. | could not understand
ness. the murderer had been able to
approach the chauffeur near enough
to kill him. nor why the people next
TO him had heard nothing.
When told BARLEY Of my bewil-
derment. he answered with little
grin: II agree with you. Pelt. it's
very mysterious. It's the nrst time
ever heard OF murder taking place
at an inquest and In a room filled with
people. There are no clues. apparently.
To my mind. however, the real rea-
son fer the murder was TO prevent
Brifreur from testifying. Whoever
killed him knew about what he would
say. and feared that he would tell
who had killed slyke."
Breaking In on him. said. "5u. he
could not have foreseen that the
lights would 20 out and give him
chancef ! thought that II was the
storm that extinguished them"
He nodded. THAT'S true enough.
II was that last fash OF lightning.
Darkness was just what ne needed.
and he took advantage OF 1t. He had
several moments In which 10 act.
There were not many people near
enough to the chauffeur TO have
killed him In that short time"
He rose. went over to his bag and
brought back the knife with which
the murder had been committed. For
several moments he examined II. then
he asked as he passed It over to me.

II was rather odd knife. IL re-
sembled hunting knife. and the

SUGGESTIONS FOR MOVING Hay
DERRICKS NEAR ELECTRIC LINE

Hay derricks operated in those sec
tons of the country where electric
lines are strung, have been contribut-
ing factors in a large number of SER
1ous accidents. Many of them, prob
ably, were due to errors in judgment
of the space or distance-the clear
ance-between the derrick-boom or
mast and the wires; others to an I'M
expected sideswing of the boom when
turning a corner or rounding curve;
still others to fitting Of the boom
an upswfng-caused by studded jerk
of some kind, due, perhaps, to an
unevenness of road or field surface
over which the derrick was being
hauled; and instances are known OF
derrick horses, without warning,
starting up so quickly as to be out Of
hand momentarily, but long enough
to cause trouble. In several cases
-more's the pity-there seemed to be
an utter disregard of the possibilities
Of untoward happening.
In the endeavor to aid in the pre-
vention of accidents caused by hay
derricks being driven, or Swung" in
to the electric wires of Idaho Power
Company, we are seeking the cooper

understood that there are many times
when it is practically impossible
we are all very much alike in this
respect-to drop all other things at a
moments notice to do something else,
or to go somewhere; and, when prac-
ticable, therefore, let us have as much
time ahead as possible.
When building a hay derrick for
use in territory where electric lines
are operated, it is wise to so design
it as to do away with metal parts on
the boom, iron chains, and steel ropes
or cables; but especially as to the
boom, for there lies the greater
chance. Any metal part of derrick
in close proximity, to an electric line
sets up a risk of accident, and the
use of steel bracing on the boom, and
metal pulley-rope or stay-chain, is ex-
ira hazardous.

Both the hay derrick and the elec

neither one can be eliminated, and
both should be so operated as not to

ground of understanding Of the

hazards.
At all times, when moving der
lin Ill luo FlCiulIy VI CiCSIiiC VIII CD
the only safe way to proceed is to
level the boom and tie it down Sc
curely SO that it remains down until
the danger zone pasked. Don't
let the boom swing. 1t is extremely
dangerous to try to raise the electric
wires, or to try to move them in any
way; do not let your men attempt
with the electric wires.
In damp weather, or when the
ground is wet, when moving a der
rick In the vicinity Of electric lines,
great care and caution should be ex-
ercsed, even though the derrick has
no apparently vulnerable steel parts,
and in fact, may be composed entirely
Of wood and rope, because the mois-
ture inclines to induce less resistance
to electricity than dry air, and water
is a natural conveyor.

LAKE LOUISE VIA MISS.
OULA. SALT LAKE CITY

In the Rockies of the Unitde States
and Canada there is without doubt no
travel route more scenic or historic
than that connecting Lake Louise In
ALBERTA with Salt Lake City in Utah
via Western Montana and Southeast
lern Idaho. With much less than
1880 miles between the terminals here
is a wonderful summer auto trip or
which tourists, ever seeking the new
and strange, today know little or
nothing. This route is destined to be-
come one of the most widely and fav-
orably known travel ways in the
mountain territory Of both nations.
| Plans have been made to organize
this route this summer at meeting
called for July 27-28 at Missoula, seat
of the University of Montana, which
is located half way between Lake
Louise and Salt Lake City. Invita-
lions for this meeting have already
been issued by the Missoula Chamber
Of Commerce. 1t Is stated than an
organization Is to be effected, DELI

It is expected that some officials OF
the Canadian Parks Service will be-
