this year was attended by about 1000 vis-
tors In all. About two-thirds of them were
honest, ignorant old negro farmers from
Alabama and Georgia. Some OF them came
on the trains. but very many came in by
big old covered wagons, bringing their
families and their provisions with them. A
number of these old fellows had sons or
daughters in the school. and some inter
esting contrasts were presented. For in

tive approached the school. he observed
grizzly old negro sitting in his covered
wagon conversins with a wcll-groomed
youth of his own race, neatly dressed In

presented impressive evidence OF advance

ration. Tho boy was bright and intelH-

News comes from Porthill of 4 ter
rible encountre that Frank Vince.
lock recently had with bear. Vince
lock is an old trapper and prospec-
tor. One day about two weeks ago
he started out from his camp on
Goat River and wandered up into
the hills above the snow line. He
came upon fresh bear track and
started to follow it short distance
to determine what course it had
taken. He had gone but few
steps when he suddenly came upon
the bear which made for him and
had him down before he knew
what was going on. He had six
shooter but did not have time to
draw it. He was clawed and
squeezed frightfully, and his life
was only svaed by the assistance of
two plucky and faithful little
Scotch terriers that he had with
him. These would run up and nip
the bear and annoyed the animal
SO that it let go of Wheelock and
turned npon its tormentors. Whee-
lock lost no time in extricating
himself from his perilous position
and clearing out" He was pretty
badly used up, but is getting along
alright. 1t is safe to say he will
not be particular in the future
about what course a bear takes, so
long as it is not coming his way.

Mr.. f. H. Grover, living six
miles east of Bonner's Ferry, near
Moravia Siding, had the mis-
fortune to loose his home by fire,
on Monday last. He had been
clearing and burning brush near
the house, and it is supposed the
fire originated from that source.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grover we're at home,
but the building was all ablaze be-
fore they discovered the fire. They
had barely time to escape with
their lives, and saved nothing, al
though they got so far as the porch
with the piano, but the intense
heat drove them away. Their loss
in building, furniture, jewelry,
carriages, ETC., will amount to sew
eral thousand dollars. They lived
formerly at Kalispell and moved
onto their ranch only a few
months ago.

UPPER KOOTEyAI DISASTER
Strs. Ruth and GuyndoIine are
Total Wrecks.
PASSENGERS SAVED
The Disaster Occurs at the same point
Where the Inflated Rustler was
lost last Season.

The canyon of the Kootenai seven
miles above jennings has added
another disaster to its record of
calamities. This. time two steam
boats have gone to pieces on the
jagged rocks of this treacherous
gorge.
On Friday afternoon the Str.
Ruth VAS coming down the river
from Tobacco Plains with 80 tons
of North Star ore and % passen-
gers, Capt. Sanborn being at the
wheel. AS she entered the canyon
seven miles above Jennings, log
caught in the rudder and the boat
became utterly helpless. She drift
ed down the rapids and finally
struck the rocks, running her bow
abeach, while her Stern swung
around and lodged upon the oppo-
site wall of the marrow canyon,
badly damaged boat, although she
did not go to pieces at that time.
The Str. Gayndoline followed an
hour behind the Ruth. She had
aboard 30 tons of ore and few
passengers. Capt. Armstrong was
in charge, The officers of the
Ruth had failed to flag the Guyn-
doline and she drifted down onto
the Ruth and did not see the dis
abled boat that lay across the
channel until she rounded the
bend and was almost onto her.
The rapids are so swift that it is
impossible to hold a steamer in
the current, and all the captain
could do was to get ready for the
awful collision ahead. After the
boat struck the passengers and crew
were able to reach shore by climb
ing out over the Ruth.
Further particulars are lacking
but it is said that both boats are
total losses, having been torn TO
pieces by the driftwood and current
probably.
The ore was worth $4,000, be-
sides the loss of the steamers, which
were probably valued at $4,000,
to say nothing of loss of baggage
and other articles.
The boats were owned by a Brit.
ish company-The international
Co.
This disaster leaves but one small
boat, the Annerly, to ply upon the
Upper Kootenai, while there was
all the business that the tn rec
boats could handle.
A pilot house and other portions
of the wreckage passed Bonner's
Ferry this morning and the Hays
and Ainsworth picked up severa
trunks.
TIE accident occurred at thu
identical spot where the Str. Ruth
was wrecked last season.
1t is a miracle that no passen
gers were injured nor drowned.

likely to be disappointed.
Rev. M. NJ. Marshall has re-
ceived a call from the First Presby-

Mr.. Street is an enterprising solic-
itor. He will find representative

cordially welcomed in the American
Kootenai.

had worked so strenuously ell dag 20
reach. We had arrived at the edge OF
the swamp, and the bayou wound in
and out among low sloughs, and sandy
ridges, on which tall magnolias in
full bloom were growing. On one of
these ridges, forming a point around
where the bayou wound its way, we
pitched our camp. Vedder, on our sec
ond evening out, seemed to be in bet
ter humor than on our first, and even
went so far as to make tent for me
from an extra blanket to keep off the
night dew. But we were both tired,
and went to rest almost as soon as we
had partaken of supper. How long l
slept | do not know, but 1 am sure that
I awoke with a smile on my lips, as
from pleasant dream. The dream,
however, was not dispelled by the
waking. The air around me every
where was full of the sweetest, tender
est music to which my ears had ever
listened
The choral sand" said Vedder the
next morning, when I told him about
the strange music of the night before.
THAT is the way they sing when the
weather is fine and the ocean waves
murmur against the shore" Then ne
told me that the seashore was only
few miles away, and between it and
us were impossible salt marshes where
the foot of man never trod.
But the air and sky had changed
since the night before. There were
immense banks of black clouds rising
in the east, and the wind began to
come in heavy gusts, and mOaned in
the trees above us. The choral sands
of the night before changed to the de-
moniac sands that night. 1t was i'm
possible to put the head anywhere to
the ground for the horrible sounds that
it emitted With daylight, however, the
ground ceased to give forth its terrible
noises, and we tried to sleep. But as
the day advanced the storm increased
in it's fury, and every few minutes
trees would snap and break or be torn
up by the roots all around US. About
noon a roaring noise was heard above
the bowling of the storm 1t came
nearer and nearer every moment, its
sound growing louder as it approached.
"a tidal wavel To the skiff! 1t will
save one, but drown two. You take

me to wake up. When 1 opened my
eyes Vedder was sitting on the ground
beside me, and when 1 also rose to a
sitting position he pointed his finger
out toward the lake, at the same time
admonishing me to keep silence.
The moon had risen above the trees,
and was shedding it's full light upon
the water. AS 1 looked a small canoe
came out from under the trees on the
other side of the lake and steered to-
ward the island on which We were
camping. AS the canoe came nearer
and nearer l saw that it was young
girl who welded the paddle, and so
skilfully that it hardly caused ripple
upon the water. The canoe stopped at
last within a half hundred yards OF
the island and the occupant looked
up and scanned the place where we
were hidden by the long grass closely.
The moon shone fully upon the up
turned face 1t was a face such as
one sees only in dreams, pale and sad,
and beautiful, a haunting memory as
long as life lasts. AS | looked she
drew in the paddle and stretched out
her hand toward us in mute appeal, and
it seemed as if tears were cleaning
in the paddle and stretched out her
hands toward us in mute appeal. and
crushed me to the ground, and for
some minutes after that l must have
been insensible. When 1 came to my
self found old Vedder bending over
me. and when 1 inquired what had
happened he pointed to a dead lynx
lying upon the ground close by. The
vision on the lake had vanished. Vedder |
promised that night that some day |
he would tell me all he knew about |
the vision on the lake, but that day
never came.
The next day we broke camp and
continued down the bayou. Vedder
said we passed some places that day
which we would visit coming back, |
but they were never visited. 1t was
late in the evening when we struck
the camping ground which the old man

it. 1 can take care of myself" cried
Vedder. l tried to demonstrate with
him, but in vain. ITO the skiffp' he
shouted. And as I ran down and cast
loose its moorings he waved his hand
and shouted goodbye. The next mo-
ment the wave came like a wall of
water, and swept everything before it.
That night l reached high land, and
the next day was fortunate in finding
a house and hospitality. That was a
continuance of the same wave that
swept away Sabine pass. 1t also OBJ
liberated Kickapoo bayou, leaving only
a deep pool here and there where it
had wound its way continuously before
Vedder was never seen or heard of af-
terward, so it is only natural to sup
pose that he persisted. AS to the mys-
teries of Kickapoo bayou, they will
most likely ever remain unsolved.
