John Day lots,

A welcome visitor came to Salmon
river last night-the long looked for
rain We hope that the prairie has
been blessed likewise, but we believe
that you have had snow from the looks
of the white blanket which the mount
aims wear..... We had other visitors, also
welcome; the Messrs. Day, brothers of
Lew Day, who was killed by the Nez
Perces in 1877. They go to locate for a
season at Shearer's ferry, which place
they have leased for stock raising. They
will also go into Warrens, and one part
of the family may possibly locate there
.... Mr.. and Mrs. John Long are also
going in..... Johnnie" is going into the
mines, and Mr.. Bolton goes to Florence
next week....Fruit trees are nearly
through blossoming on the river, and
the peaches are growing fast. OREsTEs.

ed the waterss of Salmon river nea
where Salmon city now is. Not finding
any practicable means of descent they
turned northward into Bitter Root val
ley and again reached Idaho by wav o.
the Lolo trail. On September 81, 1905
they reached the Clearwater. Here is
what they say. Capt. Clarke with a
| portion Of the party was in advance.
"They proceeded twelve miles through
the plain before they reached the river
hills, which are very high and steep.
The whole valley is a beautiful level
country covered with grass; there is,
however, but little timber, and the
country is badly watered. From the top
of the river hills they proceeded down
for three miles till they reached the wa
ter side between eleven and twelve
O'Clock at night. Here they found
small camp of five squaws and three
children, the chief being encamped
with two others on a small island in the
river. The guide called to him and he
soon came over; Capt. Clarke gave him
medal and they smoked together till
one o'clock"
Those acquainted with the river could
doubtless identify the exact spot of the
camp if they wanted to. They tarried
some days to build boats and proceeded
on their way. On their return in 1906
they camped near the same place for a
considerable time waiting for the snow
to disappear. On May 81 Sergeant Ord
way and ten men went across Camas
prairie to Salmon river in quest of sal
mon. They put in week pleasantly.
On their return, being gifted with pro-
phetic vision, they might have written |
something like the following:
ave made slight detour from our
course to view the charming cities of
Mt. Idaho and Grangeville. From
gentle eminence we surveyed beauti-
ful scene of rural peace and prosperity. |
We heard in the morning silence the |
shrek of the distant locomotive. We |
saw, as far as the vision could extend, |
fields of waving grain, flocks of bleating |
sheep, and herds of fattening cattle and |
horses. We noted the remarkable alb.
sence of loafers from the streets. We
observed the bevys of rosy-cheeked |
maidens tripping lightly to school, ETC."
But Lewis and Clarke were not strong
on the rosy-cheeked maiden business,
Their normal condition was one of ex-
treme hunger. At Yakima they traded |
the Indians out of forty dogs for food
a fishhook for dog. On the whole
they praise the Nez Perces. They de-
clare they were the finest and most in
telligent tribe of Indians they met, a
view which subsequent history has veri-
fed. These early histories are good |
reading for winter nights-better than
playing sell.out. N. b. w.

| saw many cremations among the
Hindoos, and 1 attended not few
funerals in India, says correspondent
of the Chicago Times. The bodies were
generally carried ON the shoulders of
men, without coffins, and covered with
cloths. In some cases band accom-
panied the procession, and the burnings
were in general very simple. At Cal
cutta they took place in unroofed sheds
on the banks of the river Hoogley, but
the fires were built on the ground and
II little hole was scooped out below
them to make draught. At Benares
the cremations took place in the open
air, and, after the body had burned to
ashes, the ashes and bones remaining
were dragged down into the river. The
undertakers of India belong to the dome
or chief caste. These preside over the
funerals, and sell the wood, and light
the fires used i'll cremations. They
break the elbows, wrists, knee and ankle
Joints before cremating the body, and
at Calcutta the body is placed on the
fire with the face downward. 1t is
covered with ghee, OF clarified butter,
to make it burn, and the wood used
varies with the cost of the funeral. A
rich man will send his soul to heaven
with sandal wood, while poor man
takes what he can buy. The domes sell
everything connected with the crema-
ton, and to be chief dome of II big city
is money-making position. One of
the richest men in Benares is the head
of the undertakers, and he has made his
money in this way. There is a regular
charge for burning, and the ordinary cost
of cremation is less than $2. Funerals
in India are, however, very expensive,
and presents are given away by the
nearest elatives of the deceased to those
who come to the funeral. A rajah OF
Calcutta not long ago spent $3.50, 900 in
burning his father, and rich families
often spend as high as 800, 900 in this
sort of fireworks.

The Author Of "Nancy Lee"

There is man living quietly in Lon
don who is one of the most successful
writer's of verse set to music that are in
England to-day, yet he is not very
widely known by name. It is Freder
ick d. Weatherly, and he is the author
of Nancy Lee" u song that has been
sung in every quarter of the globe, and
has brought to the author an amount
of fame and money that makes him
practically Independent. The song
was written at Oxford in an hour.
Weatherly had made an appointment
for pupil whom he was coaching for
the annual commencement. The pupil
failed to keep his appointment and
while waiting for him the piece came
suddenly to his mind, and it was writ
ten then and there. One of the strange
things about the song was that it was
in the heyday of its popularity about
the time of the Princess Alice disaster.
1t was being sung on deck just before
the vessel went down. That fact was
printed in all the English newspapers.
and the song suffered temporary
check in its popularity, but thousands
of copies of it are now sold, not only in
Great Britain but through Australia,
Canada, and in fact wherever the Eng
lish language is spoken. Mr.. Wealth
erly is the author of scores of Other
songs that are not so well known. He
has been writing songs ever since he
was an undergraduate, twenty-five
years ago. -Philddelphia Times.
