In the opinion of some Idaho resi
dents who have never visited south
ern Oregon. A number of citizens
of Hurley, located in the central
poriion1 of ' southern Idaho, are
deeply interested in Oregon and

fishing within a short distance and
'; hunting only a little farther.
; "If we would like to go to the
. mountains .here." said one Hurley
man, ."we would have to drive 150
i miles, before .we. would find a good
place to camp. You know the sage

blocking all ways nnd means of
if travel. The thermometer went
down below 20 degrees. That seems
jf to he quite different to your sec
i tinn with its mild winters, of which
1 have already been told."
J Keeling in a loquacious mood.
the , speaker continued: "We are
j proud of our potato crops. Idaho
ij has demonstrated it is u good state,
i but it is hardly in n position to he
i a strong competitor with other

tvuiniry. Our state has a small
population and it is walled in

states and in some
foreign countries, netting a return
of approximately six and one-half
millions of dollars. Idaho farmers
also sent beans to markets of il
Mat ex.
"Most of all," he concluded, "our
potatoes, about which there has
been a certain amount of romance
woven, have been sent by the car
load into some of the best known
potato growing states of the union.
We expect better prices this year,
because there are only 5800 acres
planted around Hurley as compar
ed to 6850 acres last year, but the
bean acreage has been increased."

Fourth of July celebration and
people are expected from all parts

LI
CRATER LAKR, Ore., July 6.
(.Special. ) According to Frank I
Salter, in charge of "construction
work at the luke this year, today
will mark the finishing touches on
the 'new barn built for the riding
horses for the use of the tourists
during-the senson. This barn is a
splendid looking building and Is a
credit to those constructing same,
: as are all the other buildings.
Work on the new cafeteria build
ing will be completed by July 10th
and the place would he ready for
business by July 20th.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Pankey and
jtvro daughters of Centrul Point
visited the lake over the Fourth.
Harry Gould and Mercia. Miksche
of Medford were visitors at the
lodge Thursday... They journeyed
from Medford to Klamath Falls, to
Crater Iake and on to Medford.
'Bhe visitor from the greatest
distance on the evening of the
FourLh. registered at the hotel was
Mrs.' Adam Logan from Glasgow,
Scotland. -
Marian Boyd Allen, well known
as a painter of landscapes and por
traits, was a guest at the lake for
several days this past week. From
here she (eft for Rainier National
park.- where sh will remain for
three weeks painting. Miss Allen
painted a very beautiful picture
of Crater Lake while she was here.
Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Gates and
two nieces of Medford spent sev
eral hours at the lake on July
Fourth.
Among others from Medford and
vicinity visiting at the lake on the
afternoon of the t Fourth wore

En route to Hurley 'through east
ern Oregon is North Powder, having-
a. population '-of' i0 people.
The village is In the center of a
big whea growing country, and
last year, according to the railroad
agent there, produce sent out was
contained in several thousand cars,
entailing a freight bill of $200,000.
Although It is not as large as Jack

the state to have complete talking

a growing newspaper.

Chapter II T
A FEMININE RUSE
MEANWHILE Helen, standing
before the largest mirror Id
her bed-chamber, stared at the re
flection of her lovellDess with
troubled eyeB, vexed, surprised,
wondering: '-
"Could it Indeed be true? Pre
posterous!" "But why must she remember
the loose button on bis cuff: the
sudden way be bad of lining his
cbin and looking at ber as it about
to ask some question that never
came; tbe quick vitality of bis
brown eyes; the small scar tbai
made a dimple beside bis moutn;
bis odd trick ot whistling softly
between his teeth why?"
My lady turned her back on the
mirror, and, leaning fortb of the
open lattice, gazed dreamily round
about the pleasant countryside.
And when she bad viewed tbls
tempting prospect a while and
sighed over It, she rang for ber
maid.
And after some while my lady
descended tbe stair, the folds ol
ber riding-habit over ber arm. and
so to the stables, tbere to wait Im
patiently what time old Ben and
one of tbe grooms saddled The
Witch, ber powerful, glossy-coated
mare. Then, slim, booted foot In
old Ben's band, up she sprang to
the saddle, gathered the reins, set
tled herself lightly. Tbe Witcb
reared gracefully, and was out and
away through the grassy paddock.
' But scarcely were they beyond
the village than was a clatter ol
pursuing hoofs, and my lady found
Captain Oespard beside ber. Helen
Crowned, tbe captain bowed.
- "Helen . . ." said be gently. "Hel
en, 1 love thee!"
"And so 'tis 1 wish you good bye,
sir!" . ..
Captain Despard smiled. "And
yet, Helen, I dare venture to think
you will be my wife sooner or
later."
My lady merely glanced, at him
and wheeled ber mare, but out shoi
the captain's long arm and be
grasped ber . rein, t b e n, d o w n
whizzed my lady's riding-switch
and Captain Despard. losing the
rein, glanced from the red welt on
his wrist to where my lady gal
loped ber mare SO yards away.
And tbe captain smiled still, but
bis horse leapt In pursuit. But spur
bow be would, my lady's fleet mare
Increased her lead) until the cap
tain was left far behind; and yet.
Captain Despard. being the man
he was, still smiled and still
spurred In determined chase.
! Helen leapt her mare through the
gap in ruined pork wall and can
tered lightly over undulating green
sward until she espied a man,
busily engaged with a pair ol
shears trimming a woerully shaggy
hedge: but even at this distance
she knew him, wherefore my lady
checked ber steed and tossing off
her plumed bat, she shook down
her abundant hair and spurred the
Witch a bar ply, which reared,
plunged and set off In sudden, wild
career.
Thus Sir Richard heard a sudden
cry, the muffled' thunder of gallop
ing boots, and turning, beheld a
vision wonderful: bronze-gold tres
ses out-streaming on the sunny air,
and all loveliness swaying to every
graceful bound.
Sir Klehard dropped his shears,
and small wonder! . , . then again
came that cry:
. "Stop oh, stop her!"
S'r Richard poised himself tor
sudden and desperate actlou. . . Un
came those swift, trampling hoofs
nearer . . . nearer yet but now.
seeing the perfect poise and bnl
ance of ber lithe figure, despite her
so agonized appeal, his eyes twin
kled, his firm lips curved to sudden
smile; then, he sprang and caught
the bridle.
, A sudden wrench ... the mare
nnd was away riderless, for am
lady lay swooning In Sir Richard's
arms that Is to say, ber eyes were
fast shut, and her sitpplo body lay
very soft In his embrace ant' un
tsually limp.
Thus stood he goilng down Into

studying It feature by feature the
wide, low sweep of brow, the sen
sitive nostrils, the vivid mouth; to
be sure ber deep bosom rose and
fell somewhat quickly, hut her
face tow utterly serene, never the
quiver of an eyelash!
So Sir Richard bowed bis nead
and kissed her, and he did It with
a singular deliberation; he. kissed
her hair, one eye. and ber moutn
and, flndlng her yet a-ewoon. he
kissed her mouth, one eye, and ber
hair and. .Indeed, was In tbe act ol
doing thlB for the third lime when
she looked at blin and frowned.
She: Where am I? Sir, I be
lieve you kissed me.
Ha: I'm sure of It.
She: Sir, 'twaa wholly detestuble
act.
Ho: Ma'm, 'twas the blissful aber
ration or a happy moment. j
She: And I a swoon! Oil. shame, (
sir!
He: But a swoon so gracefully
apt!
Hero my lady had tbe grace to
change color.
She: Have you no better excuse
to urge?
He: Only the best of all your
self. She: How. sir, how? D'ye take
mo for one to be lightly kissed a
thing so shameless, a creature so
light? Set me down this very mo
ment! ' ,.
So, with the extremest of pre
cautions, be set her feet 10 earth,
bowed and b'ood back while she
ordered her attire with deft, femi
nine touches. '1
My lady frowned and began to
put up her shimmering tresses, the
while he watched her with profound
Interest, whistling softly through
his teetb.
"What Is yonder, sir?" she asked,
nodding towards the hedge he had
been trimming.
"Come and see If you will?" be
answered, a little diffidently. "Your
mare seems quiet enough, remark-'
ably so."
"Nay, 'tis deceitful creatine, pray
secure her, sir, whiles 1 seek my
hat."
And so, the mare safe-hllchcny
and her hat found atter uu gre:n
search, since tny lady knew exactly
where to look for It, Sir Richard
brought ber Into what had once
been a fair garden but now a place
of weedy desolation.
"Ob, a wilderness!" exclaimed
Helen:
"Wilderness Indeed!" he an
swered. "And yet 'twas my moth
er's garden once on u tluio."
"Why then," said Helen softly,
"surely It Is n very holy place.
Then here. Sir Richard, here In
this hallowed garden, 1 will con
fess I did trick you."
Sir Richard bowed. '
"And I tricked you because, since
you are too Inflnlte proud to visit
us, I became so Inllnite humble as
to seek you thus. And, wherefore,
do you suppose?"
Sir Richard shook his head.
"Because 1, Helen D'Arcy. hav
ing misjudged one. Sir Itlchnrd
Guyfford, would now very humbly
cravo Sir Richard, Ills pardon. . . .
Forgive tjie If you will." . And she
reached out her band.
So he clasped her hand, nnd thus
stood all unwitting of other eyes
that watched them so keenly fierce,
and earB that honrkened so avidly.
- So Sir Richard lirtetl her .hand,
kissed It, and, letting it rail, stared
hard at the shears again.
"Madam," said be, a little un
evenly, "I . . . am lutlnlte grateful."
"And you forgive me? Then
give tne some token for proof of
our friendship."-
"Willingly; what ivonldst have?"
Bhe laughed. "There you shall
give me your ring."
" 'TlB battered thing!" he answer
ed. "It was my father'!," .
"Nay, then keep It." '
"No, no." be answered. Now
seeing she would nut accept It, bo
took her hand and tried the ring
on each finger, but flndlng them all I
too slender. "For the present It
must lie there." nnd she dropped
It Into her purse. "What will you
have In exchange?"
"The little cut's eye ring you're

"1 will give you this!" said she,
ond reaching to white neck, drew
tlionce a small gold chain whereon
was a locket. "I have worn It alnce

" FATAL WORDS -
I TPON a marble seat hard by lay
Sir Richard's coat, an old mili
tary cloak turned up and lined with
scarlet, and, sinking upon the seat,
Helen D'Arcy drew this cloak about
heraelf, beckoning him to sit beside
her.
"Come," said she softly, "tell me
of your mother."
. Thus, Inspired by her unwonted
gentleness, sympathy and under
standing, he forgot his taciturnity
and told her ot the mother who was
to him only a revered dream and,
led on by her subtle questioning,
described his early years: himself
a lonely child In tho ungoverned
household of his careless, widowed
uncle, Julian's father. He told of
his Impish childhood and wayward
youth and the follies of his early,
reckless manhood.
'Faith, 1 babble, I chattier, I
prate 0' myself."
".Nay, Richard, thou art talking to
tby friend, here lu thy mother's
garden." '
"Garden? "Tie a desolation!" he
sighed. "And yet, for her sake, I
would have It bloom again, and by
my own labour It It might be."
"And why should It not be?"
" 'Twill take time , . . there Is
much to do!" he answered eva
sively. "Well, and why should you not
do It?" she persisted. "What shall
hinder, what shall stay your la
hours In this garden? Is It ... I
know you are to fight a duel, Rich
ard. Surely duels seldom end
fatally."
"Heaven bless you," he answered,
seeing the trouble in ber eyes,
"such accidents pre extreme rare,
so 1. pray let your apprclieusiotis
sleep!" And then, almost ere she
knew, he hud caught her hand 10
bis Hps.
"Richard," said she, "I am won
dering why a just Providence doth
not smite such ns your cousin
Julian dead! Oh, the man's a mon
ster, a fiend, a murderous devil, a
hateful, despicable wretch, nn odi
ous reptile, a very rogue Ingrain"
"Zounds!" exclaimed Sir Rich
ard, "Now prithee stay and take a
breath."
"Oh, mock as you will!" said my
lady angrily! "lint he Is a danger
ous villain, a creature better dead!"
"And, Helen, I wonder It you are
blood-thlrstyas you sound?"
"I repent, such a man were bet
ter dead!" she retorted; and then,
clenching passionate hands, uttered
words which though he little heeded
at the time, he was to think upon
very often lu the future:
"And, -Richard, I vow to you,
should be ever give me cause, I
would shoot him and joy to do It!"
"No, no!" said he, shaking re
proving head at her fierce loveli
ness. '
"Yes, yes!" cried she. "D' you
doubt me?"
"May," he answered gently. "I
nnly doubt your capacity for mur
der." ,
"'TIs odious word!" said she
frowning,
"Murder? Ay, true!" he nodded;
"More especially on a woman'!
lips."
"Nay, Richard, but Mr. Trumplng-

you yourself, Richard that you

"Sure, Helen, you know 'tis only

"Nay, Richard, here Is the reason

enough to see your mother's garden

"And thus," said she In sudden

. . . I thank you, sir! A cataclysm?
. . . Sir, my gratitude! I overwhelm,
crush, stifle you? Alack, poor
wretch! So then will I relieve you
of these hateful embarrassments
thus!" So Haying, she leaned from
the sudd I e nnd, with swift, psnion
ate gesture, wrenched (he little
locket from his neck.
Sir Hichard bowed! "Sn ends our
new-born friendship, like a whirl
wind, leaving me tluzed, breathless
and "
"Tnko back your ring, sir take
it!"
My lady drew the ring isom her
purse, held It above his expectant
palm and dropped It into her purse
again.
"Sir,' said she, looking down at
him with the utmost disdain, "as I
took buck my cross, do you take
your ring if you can!" And then,
with trampling of sudden, eager
hoofs, was off and away.
Sir Richard watched until mare
and rider were out of slglit, then
turned and hurried towards Gregory
In tho kitchen garden. "Greg,"
said he, "go saddle me the buy."
Now my lady, reaching the high
way, reined her mare to a canter,
to a walk und often glanced buck
as It expecting pursuit; thus eve
ning had come as she reached a
place where the road narrowed.
"Halt, ma'm!" cried a voice,
vaguely familiar, and a masked man
swung his horso ocror- her path
and she caught the dull gleam of a
pistol barrel; also, she saw this
grim figure was shrouded In an old,
military cloak turned up and faced 1
with scarlet. I
"How then, air," said she In lofty
disduln. "You will play highway
man because I once so named you? '
'TIs the ring you want of me, 1 1
think?"
The man bowed; nnd then she
heunl him whistling softly between .
his teeth.
"Why then, sir, take It! Th
next time we meet, he so obliging j
to pass by at a distance!" j
Drawing forth her purse she ;
hurled It to the dusty road so
fiercely that her loose gauntlet dew
with It: 1
"There take It sir!" said she,
In choking voice. "Ayand wllh
It my lasting rontempt! Now
out 0' my roHd!"
The horseman bowed, reined back
his mount, and tny lady galloped
away like a whirlwind.

San Francisco, world famoust
for Its novel cafes, has one euting
place known as tho "Fly Trap."
Many other restaurants have cui
sines that seem to be appealing to
flies nnd have many well fed flies
among their patrons, but few
would have the courage to udver
tise that feature.
Since It's hardly full-fledged fly
time down here, It's hard to tell
just how popular the Fly Trap
cafe Is .with tho Tiles. Anyway
the management should he com
