Sheila demanded.

"Oh, no you're not. That's my

NO." he said slowly. This is
a sweet kid who hasn't seen Paris,

invest my few thousand dollars
with an honest old rancher; and
largely on the gamble that when
she came home"
"She would fall in love with you,

he would build the division fence

Later that same day jeff Her.

one with a fluttering red rag tied

by Sheila. This would be the site

quite a while ago." said Dan
calmly, "a couple of town kids
were tramping around in a big
pasture up at Dome Creek. They
saw a rattlesnaAe. They wanted a
club to kill the reptile with.
One Of them sighted a cotton
wood stake with a red rag tied to
it, and they used it for the
slaughter. But they didn't put that
stake back where they'd got it.
They set it in the most convenient
place they saw, a little dirt
crevice-just ten feet over on my
land"
Sheila saw two small boys duck
ing between buildings to get away
from the scene.
WELL is ON DAMS LAND
Soon half the town was out at
the Dome Greek pasture, including
old Paulson, the county surveyor,
who finally decreed the oil we'll
was exactly ten feet over on Dan
Cameron's land.
Your contract with Miss Marsh
is automatically voided," Dan said
to Herrick. You contracted to
drill on her property. Thanks for
the test well, though. We might
reimburse the company that
drilled it -. in time"

promoter.

Miserable. wondering what to
do, where to go, Sheila saw a
slender, well-dressed young man
approaching her booth.
Miss Marsh? Good! I'm
Jeff Herrick. Free lance oil scout. 1"
He slid into the opposite seat.
"Geologist to you. I like that
Dome Greek property"
Oil There was magic in that
word. A boy from the garage drove
the truck home. Sheila rode IN
Mr.. Herrick's shining car.
When Dan Cameron came to
chop firewood that evening, he
said, You're looking better, Miss
Marsh"
Am I? Why haven't you let
Jeff Herrick drill this land for
oil?"
I've got him pegged as a fly
by-night promoter. Besides, he
wants too much of a royalty cut
if oil is found"
II made arrangements in town
to have this place divided" she
announced. THE surveyors will
be out in the morning. I trust
you will agree to a fair division?"
Perhaps that would be more
satisfactory. And now that I've
met you"
That thrust brought a flare of
anger to Sheila's eyes. Dan Cam
eron calmly carried an armload Of
wood into the house. When he
returned he had Sheila's picture,

and New York-roSe skyward. At
last the huge steel bit, powered by
a gasoline engine, was chugging
into the Dome Greek soil, day and
night.
Dan Cameron was at Sheila's
place the day Jeff TIerrick, oil pro,
moter, came rushing toward the
house and calling:
We've struck it, Sheila! It's
a we'll! And a good one!
"I've got to rush to town-do
some telegraphing," Herrick went
on. "See you later, old queen!"
"Gee!" Sheila leaned weakly
against the side Of the house. Il
wonder how much I'll get?"
Carefully Dan read the legal
document Sheila gave him. At
last he said, well, Herrick looked
after himself, all right. He gets
about 80 per cent of the royalty
that should be yours.
SHEILA'S WORLD FALLS
Sheila's world-her hopes of
Paris were tottering. She bolted
from the office and found jeff
Herrick. She lost her temper,
made a spectacle Of herself there
on Worland's main street.
Jeff Herrick was smiling and
Sheila was weeping when Dan
Cameron came driving down the
street in a car he had borrowed
from an oil driller. Dan didn't
like Herrick's grin, and said so.
Herrick said, There's nothing
you can do any more than Miss"
Il won't miss" Dams fist shot
out, sent Herrick Sprawling.
Lock that maniac up, con

her at the depot in Worland.
80 you're the Dan Cameron I
heard about in the last letters I
received from dad?"
The same" He was already
putting her bags in a light truck.
DO we ride in-this?" Perhaps
the blond girl was revealing the
influence of two years in Paris.
The truck swung off the high
way and started across gray, sage
covered hills. Sheila glanced at
the skyline Of the Big Horn Noun
talns and said:
Whatever made dad sell a
Partnership in the old place."
Too much going out and not
enough coming in," Dan Cameron
explained. THE cattle are gone,
but the land is still clear"
At last, the old log house on the
bank of Dome Creek. Old John
MarSh'S spurs hanging on the
wall, and on the mantel that old
picture of Sheila which her father
had always loved.
I'll come back this evening and
chop some wood for you" Den
Cameron quickly withdrew then.
Il can't stay here!" the blonde
girl moaned. TITS so hideous ...
so lonely. :"
She ran outside, hoped into the
truck, jammed a shapely foot upon
the starter and drove toward town.
Sheila left the noisy truck at the
edge of the little town and walked
down Main Street.

She turned, walked slowly to-

on the creek bank. She was nearly

AN OMEN

He was a gay sort of fellow. Not exactly gaudy, but still striking to the eye. What struck US most about him after a moment or two of observation was his confident and almost jaunty air. Perhaps 1t was pride Surely there was evidence of it. but at the anne time there was determination sticking out all over the fellow It caught instantly he strutted back and forth before our gaze This chap after something that was certainty and it was good even bet that he was going to get it.
 There were a few stains on his coat, as though he had been out the weather bit, but even these did not detract from his otherwise superior appearance Rather. they tended to indicate that he had come through some sort of an unpleasant experience, like bad season. with good account of himself and was locking the world in the eye again, and in that eye was the gleam of a conqueror Here fellow worth watching So we watched and not without silent but frank admiration for this chap with the boldness to venture forth while his less adventurous brothers probably were bivouacked somewhere await ing a more propitious time.
 Back and forth he strutted his head held just rife to one side A few steps and he would pause and stand alert then continue his walk. Never for a moment did he lose that air of confidence and de- termination. Then like flash, he bent toward the ground
 Hes got t!" we cried in our enthusiasm.

EARLY SETTLEMENT HOPED FOR

It is to be hoped that the difficulties between the Alaska Fishermen's Union and the packers which are reported holding up early season activities will soon be roned out and operations resumed in normal course.
 The early season work-puttng canneries in shape overhauing equipment getting traps and other gear ready for the salmon season-is vital part of the salmon industry. which if delayed too long car curtail the pack appreeably and result in loss of income not only to the packers but equally inpor- tant to the fishermen themselves as well as hundreds of other workers who depend for much of their iyeli- hood on the early season work afforded by the industry
 Forecasts thus far are for an excellent pack this season Not as large perhaps as the eight million case record pack Of 1886 but good normal year which should mean substantial return to the fishermen and packers alike and return to the Territory in taxes from the industry to which it looks for the largest part of it's tax revenue.
 An early settlement is vitaly important to every one living in Alaska as well those from the Outside who profit from the vast commercial fishing industry in the north.

Ickes and International Highway
lFairbanks News-Minerl


 T would like to drive to Alaska before my term of office expires So declared Harold L Ekes secre- tary of the Interior in Washington recently.
 This declaration may be interpreted as revealing decided sympathy part of the Roosevelt admin istraon in favor of early construction of the pro- iected highway between Seattle and Fairbanks.
 Secretary Ickes declared he was sure the United States and Canada would agree soon on plans for the highway Here is implied that recent conversations between Premier T D. Pattullo and other high Cana dian officials with American officials had much to do with the projected highway that would span Brit ish Columbia. Yukon and Alaska
 Premier Pattullo stoutly advocated the highway after these conversations Other eminent Canadians have done the same.
 At the same time Canada has made decisive move to forify her British Columbia coastine and to establish flying units ill that area and already is nauguratng trans-c continental flying services.
 The international highway would prove valued military auxiliary
 Recent Washington advices indicated that the Administration favors construction of number of trans continental highways to provide work for the army of unemployed. Senator Bulkley of Ohio was quoted faVorng expendng eight billion dollars such projects
 If funds are to be expended such elaborate scale there place they could be applied to such strategic advantage and at the time develop virgin empire as along the route of the projected Alaska Yukon highway It would be far more ad- visable for America to open this highway than any tran- continental route.
 Alaska sorely needs highway to make her rich mining area from Fairbanks southward to the Yukon line accessible and this section of the highway, so far as Alaska is concerned should be constructed first
 It would be well if Secretary Ickes could make trip to Alaska rather than defer until the high way is constructed. He would learn much to Aaskas needs which would facilitate the entire inter- national project and perhaps result in vast savings in the proposed undertaking.
 While Alaska will welcome the international high way 1t must be remembered that what she now most needs is the early construction of roads that will speed the opening of her vast isolated mineral

TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1888
 Good luck should attend many human affairs today, according tc astrology Labor comes under a benefic sway that seems to presage satisfactory understandings with employers
 Uranus is in a position helpful to thinkers who take broad views of human relations. Leaders of church and state now will study industrial problems.
 This is supposed to be favorable ccnfiguration under which to dc business with older people who wield power gained through practical ex- perience.
 Statesmen, who long have served the people should gain special hon. ors under this planetary govern ment The seers forecast the clos ing of many distinguished careers before many months have passed.
 There is a sign presaging con- flicts of various sorts Men will be savagely tenacious of their own opinions under this sway which strongly affects leaders who guide national destinies.
 Warning is given that Americans should guard against the spread of dangerous ideas. Propaganda will present distorted views of world events.
 This is a mans day and women will be wise to avoid prominence in conferences or in organization work while this configuration prevails. There is an aspect helpful to girls who make new acquaintances among young men.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of decisive action ard possible advancement in business or professional affairs. They should be cautious about signing contracts.
 Children born on this day pro- bably will be mentally agile and endowed with great energy. Many of these Pisces subjects have a keen sense of humor.
 Oliver Wendell Holmes, famous iurist, was born on this day 1641 Others who have celebrated it as birthday include Ruggiero Leon cavallo, Italian composer 1858; Ho- mer c. Davenport, cartoonist, 1857.
