(Communicate with her friends.

and, boinR coldly recoived, leaps

parachute.
V, VI and YE He lands in tho
grounds of the Slattcry Instituto for
Inebrintes, where he makes a friend
of ono Craichead, who plans to raise
capital to manufacture the new style
airship Carson has invented. Thus
they hope to rival Shayne, who con
trols the airship industry.
" r'Papa," she said.
Mr. Waddy rose hastily and faced
fccr. She looked like Mr. Waddy, but
was undeniably pretty. Ho was blocky
and sh6rt; she, round and plump, with
mall hands and feet The turned up
pas nose of Mr. Waddy was modified to
a delightful little retrousse effect in her.
"Papa," said she, "this Is hardly a
place In which to entertain these gen
tlemen. Wo have cleared out the east
parlor."
"Oh. yes!" assented Mr. Waddy, with
feverish haste. "To be sure, Caroline!
Take 'em In. won't you? I've got to
aee the hired man. My daughter. Mrs.
Grayblll, Mr. Craighead; Caroline, a
a friend of mine, Mr. Carson of Ala
baton. Excuse me for a minute, gentle
aen." "Supper," said she. smiling, "will be
ervtnl very soon."
The long dining room was gloomy
with decayed gentility black beams,
dark wainscoting and a broad plate
rail bearing wrenches, clevises, ol!
cans and baskets of eggs labeled as to
breeds and dates. During the meal
Craighead came out amazingly In his
encounters with Mrs. Grayblll, to
' "whom, as It seemed to Theodore, he
was making violent love. Mr. Waddy
Eat burled In thought, save when he
questioned Carson concerning the uero
sef. "There's no cinch In it." said Sir.
"Waddy, "no monopoly, an' as soon as
It's public everybody'll build 'em. I
do business on cinches."
"Oh. but the patents. Mr. Waddy!"
cried Craighead. "You forget the pat
ents." "They expire In a few years." said
Mr. Waddy. "an ihen where are yeh?
Ijuid, now that I made my money
In land's an eternal cinch."
"Mr. Waddy," said Craighead, "this
matter of securiug exclusive control of
the air Is a part of our plans. It Is
one of my specialties."
Carson was amazed. Mr. Waddy
grunted as if lightly Impressed, as no
doubt ho was.
"How long will It take you," sold
he, "to kind of draw out your plan
for clluchln' tho control of tho air le
gally ?"
"Oh. a very brief time," said Cra!-;
aead. "I have installed u fine law li
brary In my apartments so the consul
tation of authorities will be easy, but"
"Well," Interrupted Mr. Waddy. "If
you can bavo that done by tho tluu

"Done!" cried Craighead.
Theodore was trembling.
"'Hcforo we call It a bargalu," srid
Theodore, "I should like a word with
Mr. Craighead If you will excuse m "
"Certainly," said Mrs. Grayblll.
Craighead faced Carson Immirlugty
as they found themselves ulono in tin
hall.
"I wish to explain." said Theodore

What you doing?"
Carson was cramming the bills Into
his pocket.
"Going back to Mr. Waddy," said
he. "Come on."
"Aye, aye. sir," said Craighead, bis
hand to his forelock. "But 1 warns
you, captlng, that there's breakers dead
ahead and on both bows and that
Craighead's the only pilot ns knows
these waters. But here's with you,
if It's to Davy Jones!"
"Mr. Waddy," said Theodore, walk
ing up to him and looking him in the
face, "before accepting your offer I
must make sure that I can fulfill my
part of It. I must Install tho motora in
the neronef. There are some financial
arrangements to be made. It may be
some weeks"
"I'll let you have what money you
need." said Mr. Waddy. "I know how
It gen'Iy is with these here geniuses."
Theodore grasped the old man's
band, his face flushed with Joy.
"I accept your advances with pleas
ure." said he. "and within sixty days
I shall be here with the aeronef."
"As certain," said Craighead, "as the
world turns over sixty times on its
shafting. Got your order. Mr. Wad
dy!" They took their departure.
After retiring they lay awake, ex
changing remarks and suggestion
across the dark room.
"Oh. about that money!" said Car
fou. "I must return It to Dr. Wlther
spoon, Craighead. You won't misun
derstand me, will you?"
"Not in the least." replied Craighead
sleepily. "Ingrowing conscience and
all that rot. Get over It as you get
richer, yon know. I would fain dream
of Caroline."

The platform adopted by tho con

"We, tho socialists of Jackson
county, Oregon, in convention as
sembled, hereby indorse tho princi
ples of socialism as embodied in the
national platform of the socialist
party.
"We realize that frocictv is divided
into two distinct classes and that
tho class struggle is a conflict overj
the division of the product of labor.
This conflict must ever exist ns long
ns the present private ownership of
the means of producing tho necessi
ties of life endures.
"Wc claim our aim to be the or
ganization of the workiug class and
those in sympathy with them into a
political party for the purpose cf
capturing the powers of government,
thnt the prodncing classes may se
cure the full product of this labor.
But that the workers may tho sooner
gain political control, we cover nil
immediate measures which will nid
them in this conflict. As n menus
to this end we demand tho following
measures. "We demand the public
construction of electric power plants
for the purpose of supplying heat,
light and power and the public own
ership nnd operation of electric rail
ways. "(2) We demand the eight-hour
work dny for labor, the abolition of
.the contract system on nil public
works, nnd thnt nil such work shall
be directed by the proper officials
nnd living wages be paid to nil pub
lic employes.
"(3) We demand the building of
commodious hchool houses in each
district in the county, the use of a
uniform set of text books and the
increase of xalnries to teachers ac
cording to ability without regard to
sex.
"(4) We demand the enforcement
of the Oregon child labor and com
pulsory education law.
"(5) We especially demand the
enfranchisement of all citizens ovor
21 years of age, regardless of sex,
color or property.
"(0) We pledge our candidates.
if elected, to sign a blnnk resigna
tion to be filled nnd presented at any
time they fail to work for tho prin
ciples of socialism."

amount to anything in July," said
Judge Canon, "nnd I was somewhat
astonished to find, when I figured
up the docket at the end of the
month, that .$135,50 had been col
lected during the month. There
were so tnuny 'dead ones' thut tlia

amount is somewhat lower than it
was for the three months previous,

river below Grants Pass for a fow
weeks, returned last night. No re
ports that the mountain streams run

years past, the Applegate In partic
ular being lower than It has beon for
ten years.
Mr. Smith reports that Elmor
Shank, who now owns tho old Els
man orchard, has tho grandest crop

orn Oregon, having lived hero ovor
30 years. Tho Eisman Is an old
orchard, which many bolioved had
passed Its prime and usefulness, but
with new management, cultivation
irrigation nnd careful pruning, it is
now ono of tho best orchards in tho
state. Tho Spltzonborga aro large
enough to hp and aro already turn
ing red. Mr. Smith Is of tho opin
ion that any of the old orchards In
tho vnlloy can be brought bock to
their former usefulness if ono will
take tho same painB as Mr, Shank,
who is cortainly glviug a pretty dem
onstration of the wonderful longevity
of commercial orchards In the Rogue
Rivor valley.
