EDWIN EAST MAY Be ALIVE
REPORTED DROWNED, BUT BODY
NOT FOUND.
Young Aeronaut Descended In Leech
Lake and Steamer Went Out to
His Rescue.

There is still doubt as to the fate
of Edwin NJ. East, jr., whose drowning
in Leech lake. Minnesota, was reported
a few days ago. His father received d
letter yesterday from William Nelson,
chief of police pr Brainerd, Mimi, en-
closing a copy of the Walker tMinn.)

dent in which the boy is supposed TO
have lost his life. According to this
report Mr.. East went up 800 or 400 feet
in the balloon at Leech lake; Il strong
wind blew MIN out over the lake; he
called wildly TO the people to get boats.

he must fall into the lake. This he
did. two miles out from shore. y
steamer got out TO the spot in time to
see the parachute sink, but the ropes
were cut, showing that East had cut
himself loose. No trace of the body
had been found at the time of writing.
and a shadow of hope still remains that
he may have escaped.
The paper and those connected with
Mr.. East spoke in high praise of him.

already been out looking over available
routes. and that all the preliminary ar
engagements were well under way. Mr..
Cameron added that the citizens of
Sandy were very anxious to have cleo
trio connection with Salt Lake via
Murray, and that the company he rep
resents was willing to fulfill their de-
sire.
y great inducement toward making
the extension was information he had
received that the largest smelter in
Utah would soon be erected and placed
in operation in Sandy. This was not
Mr.. Cameron's only reason, however.
He stated that he would not build
the line on mere rumor, but there
was reason to believe the smelter would
be built, and he wanted to be in Sandy
with his road when it was finished. 1t
is believed the line will be used for
freight as we'll as for passenger bust
ness.
After listening to- Mr.. Cameron's
statement yesterday the commission
ers decided to defer action on grant
ing the franchise for one week. In the
meanwhile they asked him to submit
his proposition in writing, stating ex-
actly what he wants.
When interviewed last night. Mr.
Cameron stated that nothing definite
could be said concerning the beginning
of the extension. THE franchise has
not been acted upon by the county COM
missioners: and materials for the con-
struction of electric roads are so scarce.
owing to the large number of roads I'M
der process of construction. that [
really do not know when the construc-
ton will commence. The company has
had overtures to continue the extension
on to Draper, but it has not been con-
sidered; the region is purely agricuH-
tural, and there is not sufficient in
duceme1t to warrant it, said Mr.. Cam
erOn.
