CHAPTER IX
HUNGST PlAMBS
Out to Haunted Valley, Ruthlrour remark and I have come fc
Ranger cowboy companion was be- offer you a ten-day extension oo
comuut areatrv worried. He couia "" " "v
not find his lovely employer and
could not understand how she had
disappeared. However, be finally
managed to pick up her trail which
led to the grotto. As the cow
puncher approached, he heard her
cries for help. There was no way
of reaching her at that entrance, so
the cowboy made bis way around to
the other opening. Here he lifted
the iron bars and after a terrific ef
fort managed to extricate the girl
from her perilous position.
While this was going on, Henry
MaUinson was making the last step
to incriminate Craig in the eyes of
the girt he loved. Mallinson had
carried Craig, unconscious, from his
office, and ordered bis men to de
posit him in a gnlch facing the
grotto. Consequently, as Ruth
emerged, she found Craig lying on
the ground coming back to con
sciousness. "Well, what have you got to
ay?" the girl asked
"I I beard your voice through
the radio," Craig answered, "bot be
fore I could answer 1 was attacked
from behind. Brenoon gave me the
key to the office adjoining MaUinson,
and the radio was turned into
Haunted Valley. I tell you, Ruth,
this is all a part of MaJlinson's
deviltry. The room is part of his
office."
"Prow your statement, Mr.
Craig. Show oa this mysterious
room where you were so brutally at
tacked." Craig whirled around and saw the
smiling face of Mallinson. It cut
him deeper to see that Ruth re
turned the smile. Evidently Mallin
son was succeeding in winning back
the girl's faith. And now Mallinson
insisted that they return to his of
fice he wanted proof. Craig was
extremely puzzlei
"Is this the office where all the
dreadful things happened, Mr.
Craig r" Mallinson asked. The room
Craig saw before him was the same
room he bad been confined in, but
the furniture was missing and dust
homed itself everywhere. "This
office has been vacant for months,"
Mallinson smiled.
Craig was astonished. "But,
Ruth," he faltered, "there is some
thing queer about this."
kuth looked from one man to the
other. "I must have time to think,"
she answered.
Eugene Craig saw there was
nothing to do but leave the office.
He soon found himseif on the street
and walking around to the side of
the building. Here he was aston
ished to see a van standing, with
office furniture on the sidewalk
about to be loaded. As the work
men were probably on the elevator,
Craig hastened to examine the
pieces.
A large oak desk occupied his at
tention first. He chanced to open a
drawer end saw some papers that
interested him at once. Three were
newspaper clippings calling the pub
lic's attention to the deaths of
Dirks, Der.slow and Sharkey. Then
there was a small piece of white
paper on which were inscribed four
names: Dirks', Denslow's, Sharkey's
nd his own. The first three names
had checks opposite them. Craig
smiled Evidently it was his turn
next. However, the young man de
termined to have it out with Mal
linson a; once.
In his office, Henry Mallinson
was questioning his secretary.
"Did you get all the papers that
ere in the other room?" he asked.
Vivian Delamar nodded. "You are
lure then," he continued, "nothing
was left in Sharkey's desk?"
"Quite," the girl ansered before
lea' ing the room.
"Here aie some papers that were
Dot removed from Sharkey's desk!"
Mallinson whirled around in his
:ha ir and beheld Craig standing be
Jind him. That young man had
:leverly entered through Mallinson's
lecret panel.
"You are a clever man, Mallin
son," Craig went on, "and I am
oing to prove to Miss Ranger just
low clever you are " With that he
eft the room
In the offices of Ranker, Inc.,
Suth had left orders that she would
ire no one no one excepting Henry
VUtlinson. Craig was up gainst it.
"Then unless Lost River Dam is
:nnipletrd this week, you cannot pay
he million," her vice-president,
rVrMierrv, was saying.
"Yes," the girl answered, "and
Mugs are In a serious condition.
They have ut nken ntr bM en
tinoer to the hoaniint. The dam is
Jtnp!elf!y tied up "
t ti'st moment. M.!1inofi enter

Ruth was profuse in her thanks to
Mallinson and Weatherby also
showed his appreciation.
As the girl left the office, she en
countered Craig "Sharkey wai
right about MaUinson," Craig began,
"he is at the bottom of all youi
troubles."
Ruth looked at Craig curiously.
'I beg your pardon," she replied,
"Mr. MaUinson has just demon
strated his friendship in very
welcome manner. But if you vara!
to reaiiy serve me, go and take
charge at Lost River immediateiy. I
will be down later."
Craig was at a loss just bow to
answer. MaUinson, after all, had
gotten the upper hand. It was
natural that he was discouraged. Aa
he walked down the corridor, be en
countered Dinny. The youagstar
greeted cheerily.
"Listen, Dinny," Craig confided,
"if you see or hear anything au
picious around these diggings, re
port to me at once at the dam."
Mallinson was extremely pleased
with himself. As he wondered wheat
his next move would be, the door
of his office opened and a beaaHfal
but flashy-looking girl entered.
She evidently did net believe a
wasdng any time, for she immedi
ately blurted out to Malliaaon: "1
must have five hundred doUan.
Brennon is in jail on your account
and 1 haven't a dime. I'm Hazel
Vernon, his fiancee."
Mallinson could not help bat
smile. Then an idea came to him.
He lost no time in confiding it to his
visitor. "And remember his name
is Eugene Craig call him 'Gene,
he finished.
"I'll take the job," Mis Vernon
answered.
With the contract date close at
hand, the main dam at Lost River
was comoleted. However, import
ant work on the machinery, spill
ways and grading was still nnnnish
ed. To Eugene Craig all the credit
was due, for he had worked like a
beaver. Ruth was aware of this,
and she wondered if, perhaps, ah
had iudced the young man too
harshly.
"Yes. Mr. Craig is sure hustler,'
one ol the foremen was confiding to
Ruth. "Things have been humming
since he cot here.
"Bee oardon. where can I find
Gene Craig?"
Ruth and foreman turned and be
held a rather flashy-dressed young
woman. Ruth felt a bit annoyed
over the familiarity of the girl with
Craie.
"He's in his office over there in
that shed," the foreman answered.
Hazel Vernon thanked tiie man ana
started in that direction. Ruth
watched her for a moment, then her
curiosity eot the better of her and
she followed and approached the
shed where the girl entered. Ruth
did not intend exactly to become an
eavesdropper, but she could not help
but overhear a strange conversation.
"You can't stall me tny more
she heard a feminine voice say, "I
won't stand for it. YoO just don't
love me any more and you won't
come out and tell me so. I tell you,
you can't throw me down, you are
breaking my heart. I 1 just an't
live without you.
If Ruth was startled, Craig wu
amazed beyond description. He wa
about to deny any relationship with
the girl when she whipped out
revolver and attempted tt shoot her
self. Craig sprang to her side, and
as the revolver went off, the bullet
pierced the side of an oil barreL At
that moment Ruth rushed into the
shack.
"Ruth!" Craig shouted, "dont
listen to her, it's a trick a trick to
turn you sgainst me."
But Ruth rushed to the girl's side,
and in so doing she upset the barrel
of oil, which ran all over her skirt.
Craig attempted to intervene, but
without success, and as Ruth at
tempted to leave the shack she
brushed against a blow-torch stand
ing just outside the door. Craig
shouted as he suw the flame ignite
the girl's skirt. Ruth, however paid
no heed to the preferred assistance
but plunged into a sluiceway and
was swept along by the swift waters.
A look of horror passed over
Craig's face as he saw just ahead
of her the water wheel, turning with
a deadly rapidity, and he dove into
the sluiceway to save Ruth from
being cnished by it. He swam mad
Iv, overlook the girl, and tried to
swim bark with her against the
nirrent. But they were steaiily
thrown Hack by the current toward
the menaces water wheel.

State Dairymen to Meet
to Solve Some Problems

to Aid Bosine.
Importance of dairying problems of
production and marketing and rela
tion of thia industry to the whole
scheme of agriculture in Oregon, will
form one phase of the prop ram of the
ttata agricultural economic confer
ence to be held at the state college
January 21 to 25 next.
Oregon dairymen are faced wit'., the
problem of marketing the state'! ever-increasing
ourrlus of dairy pro
ducts. The forms of marketing most
promising will be discussed.
Whether to concentrate on the man
ufacture of butter under a state
brand, or to increase production of
American cr fancy cheese, or to en
courage greater home consumption
of milk and cream, are important ec
onomic questions, dairy leaders think.
Are present methods of marketing
dairy production adequate, or should
they be better adapted to present
conditions? This is one of the ques
tions the conference will be called
upon to answer.
Leading dairymen of Oregon are
expected to attend and help find an
swers to these problems, and dairy
authorities of national reputation
will be present to assist in making
the right answer.
The conference will be in charge
of a special committee of Paul V.
Mans, director of the extension ser
vice, james l. j amine, director 01
the experiment station, and Hector
Maepherson, professor of economics
and sociology. Other committees will
look out for the needs of the con
ferees and see that the resources of
the college plant are available for
their use.
Other general subjects to engage
special attention are crop, fruits and
vegetables, beef, hogs and sheep, poul
try, land settlement and reclamation.
Oregon producers, college specialists
and national leaders will unite
seeking solutions to the various prob
lems.

"Fully one-third of the SS1.000
tons of grain straw produced each
year in western and aouthern Oregon
is burned," aay F. E. Price, soils
apecialist for the 0. A. C. experiment
station. According to chemical an
alysis each ton of straw contains 10
pounds of nitrogen, 2 pounds of phos
phorua, 18 pounds of potassium and
2 pounds of sulphur. If this quan
tity of plant food were purchased in
the form of commercial fertilisers,
is would cost $3.84. This does not
take into account the humus value
of straw when it is returned to the
soil. On the basis of these fieures.
the burned straw has a value of $439,-
2MI.
A practical method of spreading
straw is the problem confronting
grain farmers. Mr. Price says a
manure spreader can be purchased
for $15. O. R. Daugherty, Clackamas
county farmer near Mollala, has for
10 years used a spreading device of
his own manufacture. With this
machine two men and a two-horse
team in four days spread on 23 acres
the straw from a 50 acre field of
grain.
Grain yields have been increased
at least S bushels an acre as a result
of using straw on his fields. Mr.
Daugherty declares. In addition, the
soil is more mellow and easier to
work.
