foot or an Inch oveh the Dabney lands!
Do I make It plain to you, suh?”
“ But Major Dabney—one moment;
this Is purely a matter of business;
thers is nothing personal about It. Our
company is able and willing to pay lib
erally for Its right of way; and you
must remember that the coming of the
railroad will treble and quadruple your
land values. I am only asking you to
consider the matter in a business way.
and to name your own price.”
“ Not anotheh word, suh, or you’ll
make me lose my tempah! You add
insult to injury, suh, when you offeh
me youh contemptible Yankee gold.
When I desiah to sell my birthright
for youh beggahly mess of pottage, I’ll
send a black boy In town to infawra
you, suh!”
It Is conceivable that the locating en
gineer of the Great Southwestern Rail
way Company was younger than be
looked; or, at all events, that his ex
perience hitherto had not brought him
in contact with tire-eating gentlemen
of the old school. Else he would hard
ly have said what he did.
“ Of course, It is optional with you,
Major Dabney, whether you sell us our
right of way peaceably or compel us to
acquire It by condemnation proceedings
in the courts. As for the rest—is it
possible that you don’t know the war
is over?”
With a roar like that of a maddened
lion the Major bowed himself, caught
his man in a mighty wrestler’s grip
and flung him broadcast into the coleus
bed. The words that went with the
fierce attack made Ardea crouch and
shiver and take refuge behind the great
dog. Japheth Pettlgrass Jumped down
from his step-ladder and went to help
the engineer out of the flower bed.
“The old firebrand!” the engineer
was muttering under his breath when
Pettlgrass reached him; but the fore
man cut him short.
“ You got mighty little sens«, looks
like, to me. Stove up any?”
“ Nothing to hurt, I guess.”
“ Well, your hawss is waitin' for ye
down yonder at the gate, and I don’t
b’lleve the Major is allowin’ to ask yo
to stay to supper.”
When the engineer had mounted and
ridden away down the pike, the fore
man straightened himself and faced
about. Tho Major had dropped into his
big arm-chair . His hands shook. Pet-
tlgrass moved nearer and spoke so that
the child should not hear. “ If you run
me off the place the nex’ minute, I’m
goin* to tell ypu you ort to be tolerably
'shamed of yourse’f, Maje* Dabney.
That po’ little gal is scared out of
year’s growln’, right now.”
“I know, Japheth; I know. I’m an
old heathen! For, insultin’ as he was,
the man was for the time bein’ my
guest, suh—my guest!”
“I ’m talkin’ about the little one— not
that railroader. So far as I know, he
earned what he got. I allowed they’d
make some sort of a swap with you,
so I didn’t say anything when they
was layln’ out their lines throo’ the
hawss-lot and across the lower corn
field this mornin’—easy, now; no more
r’arln’ and farin’ with that thar little
gal not a-knowin’ which side o’ the
earth’s goin’ to cave in next!”
“ I^ald out theyuh lines—across my

SHOW ERS QUENCH FIRES.
Weather Comes to Rescue o f Idaho
and Montana Forests.
Spokane, Aug. 24.— Light rain be
gan to fall this afternoon in Wallace
and other Coeur d’ Alene mining towns
that have been scorched or threatened
by the forest fires, and the weary fire
fighters took new hope. Nothing but
a heavy downpour will quench the
flames that are eating up the big trees
of Northern Idaho, Northwestern Mon
tana and Northeastern Washington,
however.
The Idaho militia and United States
troops are on the way to do battle with
the red invader, but the soldiers can
accomplish little more than protection
o f the threatened towns.
Ranger Kottkey, who with 200 men
was reported as missing, is unharmed.
He was never near Wallace, as report
ed, but was near Adair, Idaho, on the
Milwaukee. He reached Missoula this
morning and reported his men safe, ex
cept two packers.
Tonight he le ft
Missoula at the head ot a party which
went to search for missing fighters
along the line of the Milwaukee, where
it is believed all will, in time, be lo-
crated.
Ranger Van Dyke, on Independence
creek, and Ranger Derrick, at Saltese,
Mont., both re;>orted tonight. It had
been feared that Van Dyke’a crew o f
75 men had been cut off.
The most sensational rumors o f loss
of life continue to be circulated, but it
is ’ ¿’ possible to verify them and it
seems likely that, aside from losses
among the national rangers, the num
ber of dead in the three states w ill not
exceed 100.
The known victims of the forest fires
number 53, as follows:
In and near Wallace, Idaho, 38; in
and near Newport, Wash., 8; near St.
Joe, Idaho, 6 men, supposed to be for
est rangers; at Saltese, Mont., 1.
The Idaho militiamen are on the
way from the encampment at Am eri
can Lake, near Tacoma, to the Coeur
d’ AIenes.
President T a ft notified
Governor Brady today that he would
send to Idaho ail the troops available,
but that United States soldiers could
not be used for police duty. Governor
Brady will go to the front tomorrow.
None o f the towns in Idaho are in im
mediate danger, it is believed.

Vale— The State water commission
has advertised for meetings on Willow
creek to determine the rights o f all
the water users on this stream. Un
der the new water code all the rights
are to be settled in one suit.
Willow
creek is a flood water stream, about
100 miles long, and is used by the pec-
pie from its head to its mouth at Vale.
The Eastern Oregon Land company has
agents in Vale with a view of securing
some rights, while the W illow Creek
Land & Irrigation company is plan
ning to protect all its rights and Upper
Willow Creek users arrived in Vale re
cently and are preparing their evi
dence.
J. H. Rose, S. M. Matthews, Francis
Rose, C. T. Locey, Pierce Smith and
several others who have had ranches
and used water from 15 to 25 years are
among these, and the lower ranches,
consisting o f probably 30 users, are
making up their cases. F. M. Saxton,
the water commissioner for this dis
trict will be here the latter part of
August to begin taking evidence.
It is conceded that whichever way
the decisions are made the case will go
through the Circuit and Supreme
courts before being finally determined.
Salem— The Oregon Library Commis
sion has several new traveling libraries
ready to send out into the state. The
traveling libraries are intended for
(arming communities and small villages
not enjoying library privileges and un
able to support a library. There is ab
solutely no charge for the libraries ex
cept the transportaion charges both
ways. The books are packed in a strong
wooden box and sent by freight; the
weight averages 100 pounds. The li
brary may be kept six months, and then
returned to the commission and ex
changed for another and different lot
of books. The books must be loaned
free of charge to all responsible per
sons in the community.
The libraries are usually kept in the
most convenient public place, a school-
house, postoffice, grange hall, store, or in
a home. They are made up of the very
best books for grown people and for
children. Each library contains 50 pop
ular and interesting books of fiction,
history, travel, biography, science, so
ciology, and literature, books which old
and young will enjoy.
I f you are interested in a traveling
library for your community, write to
the Library Commission, Salem, for fur
ther information.
