the critical turn in the tariff contro

Germany, appeals from chambers of
commerce and boards of trade of seve
ral cities were made to the national
board of trade in session here, urging
that body to recommend that the
American government recede from its
position that American beef must be
admitted to Germany.
Resolutions
presented to the national body main-
ta n there can be no advantage in in
sisting on a German market for Amer
ican beef, because the consumption is
increasing at such a rate as soon to
command all the supply. It is pointed
out that the Agrarian party, in control
of the Reichstag, has stood for the
principle that farmers of Germany
must supply the beef, and that the im
perial government could not admit the
American product, if it would.
A commission to settle the dispute is
suggested. Many delegates, bringing
from their home cities demands for an
investigation into the high cost of liv
ing, have made that subject foremost.
The national body today decided to ap
point a special committed of five men
to determine the reasons for present
prices.
In his opening address to the nation
al board, the president, Frank J. La
Lanne, of Philadelphia, suggested the
possibility that by getting in touch
with the leading bodies of Germany
the organization could help the United
States department materially.
He
also pleaded for the immigration of
more laborers and house servants.

panic swept over the country, stands in
a fair way to he completed, and the
settlers who have been waiting and
watching for the water that never

For the state of Oregon, represented
by the land board, is making an effort'
to secure the completion of the project
with the moit battering prospects of
success.
Laidlaw came into being during the
days when settlers expected water and
as a matter of fact when water was
delivered in the ditches. But the sup
ply was not sufficient for the lands at
tempted to be reclaimed, the acreage
reduced and other supplies of water
sought. Financial troubles followed,
and the company was reorganized. In
the meantime it was fully demonstrat
ed that a gravity system of irrigation
was not feasible and that reservoirs
would have to be built to store the
flood waters of Tumalo creek during
the spring and allow water to be car

put out her hand, drew It back, and
left the room swiftly. The enraged

denunciations of his Infernal 111 luck,
then, snatching up hts hat, rushed
away to pour his troubles Into the
sympathizing ear of Lord Everton, In

As soon as the sound of his steps
was heard, the unclosed door of a
small Inner room from which there
was no other exit was pushed more
widely open, and Mrs. Savllle walked
l n.
She wore her out-door dress, and
held a note In her hand.
" I little thought what I should
hear," she said, almost aloud, “when I
determined to keep quiet till that

woman? Hope Desmond does not think

"Well, I shall call late this after
noon. Now I am obliged to call on
the Oomtesse de Suresnes. So good-
by for the present, Mrs. Savllle. Good-
by, dear Lady Olivia.”
As soon as she was gone, Mrs. Sa
vllle. looking very straight at her sls-
ter-in-law, asked, "W hat Is the matter
with you?”
"Matter! Matter enough! If I had
not been en route for Contrexeville I
should have come here on purpose to
— to tell you what I think."
"And pray what may that be, Lady
Olivia?"
"That you have allowed my unfor

Hugh! I expected better things from
you, Elizabeth. You are Infatuated
about that woman, of whom you really
know nothing.”
For a moment Mrs. Savllle was si
lent, too amazed to find words.
" I don’t understand you. Pray ex
plain your meaning, if you have any,”
Bhe s&ld, at last, a bitter little smile
curling up the corners of her mouth.
“ Why, our unfortunate mad boy
wrote to his father a few days ago
that he was going to make an offer to
that dreadful girl, as she was the sort
of woman to whom he dared not pro
pose a private marriage; that we fear
ed we might be vexed at first, but If
we attempted to prevent It he would
go straight to the dogs. Oh, It Is too
too bad! I little thought, when I was
so horrified at Hugh’s conduct last
summer, that before a year was over
I should be afflicted In the same way.”
"W hen you gloated over my disap

vllle, her keen black eyes flashing. "I

she desired that Hiss Desmond should
be sent to her.

“I rarely feel dull,” returned Hope,
who secretly wondered why Mrs. Sa
vllle had quarreled with her sister-in-
law. She was too decided, too peremp
tory a woman to be quarrelsome.
Could It be for any reason connected
with herself? Lumley said he had
communicated his Intention to propose

doubt, would have enraged his fam
ily; but she could not ask any ques
tions.
Indeed, she was thankful to
“let sleeping dois He.” She had many
anxieties pressing on her young heart.
A very cloudy and uncertain future
lay before her. "It Is hard," she
thought, "that, however good and true
