tian Endeavor day.
Another year has rolled round. An.
other anniversary is upon us. The hosts
are still increasing. The stakes are be-
ing strengthened and the lines advanc-
ing. Ii is, however. no time to pause
or to falter. The higher the position
reached the greater the responsibility
and the greater the need of increased
loyalty TO Christ. Loyalty to Christ is
to be emphasized this Endeavor day,
not loyalty 20 Christian Endeavor. Hap

is the main thing, and the Endeavorer
who is loyal to Christ will not be dis
loyal to Christian Endeavor. What will
the Endeavorers who are loyal to Christ
do? The references suggest that

another as Christ loved them. "A new
commandment give unto you, that ye
love one another; as | have loved you
that you also love one another" How
did Christ love His disciples? /. He
loved all of them. So we should love all
Christians, not simply those of our own
church or denomination, but all who
love Christ-interdenom love-

Failing to Return From a H.It
Search is Made and His Dead
Body Found.
A DEATH PURSUED FAMILY.
Formerly Lived In Washington County
Where They Lost Four Children
In One Week.

The Caldwell Tribune Of last Sat-
urday morning contained the follow
ing;
Thursday last fourteen-year-o boy
named Pickens left his home near Mid
dleton, with a double-barrel shotgun. He
failed to return by dark, his parents fear
ing some accident had befallen him
aroused the ncighbors, but the search
proved futile. At night while services
were being held in the church, word OF
the lost boy was passed around when the
services Immediately stopped and the
congregation began search, but up 10
four o'clock yesterday morning nc trace
OF the lad had been found
The sequel of the above is learned
from dispatch received at Weiser
by Frank Hubbard from Mrs. Pick
ems during Saturday forenoon. 1t
was as follows:
Willie has been found dead. Shot by
accident.
This sad news will cause feeling
OF more than passing pity for the be-
reavcd family among friends in this
county. The family lived In Wash-
ington county for many years At
Council valley Mr. and Mrs. Pickens
lost four children IN one week from
diphthera. They have probably not
vet recovered from that sorrow when
new calamity overlakes them and the
oldest son is dead. A strange fatality
pursues them.
Mondays Statesman contains the
continuation Of the tragedy:
The fears OF the lads parents proved
only too well founded. His dead body
was found Oh the edge Of u slough mile
or Two from his home HIS gun lay n
little distance to the right. 1t had been
discharged, the charge striking the un'
fortunate lad in the right side, tearing q
gaping hole through his body.
How the accident occurred will remain
IL mystery. The boys feet were In the
edge Of the water. 1t Is thought he
slipped and threw the gun from him I,
prevent It's falling into the water, th'
trigger being caught BY twlg or stone
and the piece discharged.
Willie Pickens was born nea

handed Stab.

Windy Eaves has written letter
to the Lewiston Tribune, per the fol.
lowing in that paper
A letter from Lucien Eaves. of the New
York and Idaho Copper Company. states
that the smelier is now about ready to
blow in and that all preliminary construc-
ton and exploitation work is practically
completed. The company is now en-
ploying between sixty and seventy men.
The company has opened an assay Office
that does the work of all the miners in
the Seven Devils free of charge. The
copper ore has been found deficient in iron
for smelling purposes, but an excellent
grade of hematite is being obtained from
the Cornucopa district that runs So to
Sll in gold, which the company is i'm

manager has left for the eaet to secure
the machinery for a 300 ton concentration
and The equipment for three and one-half
miles of tramway and five miles of rail
way that will be constructed this fall.
That is truly refreshing. For the
sake of disposing of the useless
Kleinschmidt grade, Eaves would be
tickled to death if investors could be
made to believe that Seven Devils
cannot be worked except in conjunc-
ton with camp way over in Oregon
with the reserve ammunition behind
it that this can only be done through
the Kleinschmidt grade. The state
ment that they are actually importing
iron from Cornucopia would knock /
man off the Christmas tree. W.
would like to know what it costs
them to get that ore over to Sever

they get it over there? We canno

Kleinschmidt Interviewed.

Albert Kleinschnidt, of Montana,
whose ''health' trip to Seven Devils
was mentioned two weeks ago in the
SIGNAL, was in Weiser last week.
Someone suggested that we interview
the gentleman, but from the history
of Kleinschmidt there could be moth
ing of value expected from him. MIR
Kleinschmidt, as the past would in
dictate, became interested in the Seven
Devils only for the purpose of hold
ing them away from the world, and
he has made no effort except for
their suppression. With the means
at his command and the connections
he has, he could have had railroad
there and have brought the camp to
the front long before this had it been
his desire. But all his movements
have been contrary to our interests.
There is nothing in common between
Mr.. Kleinschmidt and the people OF
this county. Knowing that he would
have no inclinations of interest OF
benefit to our people, he was no
worth interviewing
Our Salubria neighbor, however
was more enterprising and "hustlins
