From the San Francisco Examiner.
The result Of survey of Lake Chelan
in tho northern part of tho state of Wash
ington has been given out By Gen. Mer-
Ram. commander of this department He
says in his report;
The cliffs on each side Of the lake were
places to height of 1.500 or 1000 feet.
But it Is the lake Itself that Is the greatest
marvel. Its waters ;Dre clear and blue and
by actual sourdings have been found to be
of an average depth of 1000 feet This
seems almost incredible, but it is the truth.
The width of the lake varies from mile
and a half to two miles. but the length Is
the most remarkable of all.
When l pointed up toward what ap-
peared to be the head Of the lake and asked
the Indians IL the lake was not about three
miles long, they laughed and shook their
heads They said it was three days jour-
ney for four-oared canoe. l determined
to see for myself. so the next morning my
engineer and 1 and two Indians started up
the lake in the largest canoe the natives
possessed.
1T was impossible to go on the lake
shore, as in most places the mountains ran
sheer down to the waters edge We rowed
along until We came TO the northern confine
OF the lake and there we found that 1t made
a big bend to the right and stretched on
and On. The next day we started out again.
and on the third day ct nightfal,. just as
the Indians mad said we reached the head
OF the lake. On the return trip we meas
urcd the distance and found the length to
be fraction over sixty-five miles.
This curiously narrow and deep body OF
water was cut right down through the
mountains by the glaciers of bygone ages.
At the foot OF the lake Is great moraine."

and never thought nothing more about it
or 1 never did, anyway, for years after
ward-it must have been fifteen years al
least-and then Bill told me the outcome
of it.
Bill was an older man than I was wher
we worked together. and only a few year.
after that he sort of practically retired

do some easy job. but after while he got

ment In the paper he took, saying some
thing like this: Jimmy, are you the mar
that did that problem for me? If you are
address so-andso. This is to your advan-
tage.'
well. now. you know, among other
things. old Bill had instinct or intuition or
insight whatever you call it, and he
knew that that was from the boy, and also
that there was no trap, and that ii meant
1t when 1t SAID This is to your advantage;
and he went and saw him, and. true
enough, it was the boy; and, SO Bill said.
just what you'd have expected him to be
from what We saw of him when he was a
boy-a good, big hustling man. and pros
porous; but the curious thing about it was
his story.
las Bill tells me- the boy was. when we
saw him, getting ready to go to some col
lege, and he'd all but missed it, and il he'd
ha missed that sum in algebray that he'd
been 'rastlin' SO with the night we saw him
and that, Bill tells me. he never could
have done in the world-he'd ha been out
OF 1t. Then tlong comes Bill. and does it
just for fun: and. do you know. the young
ster. when he sees it on the paper IN the
morning. thought he'd done 1t himself in
his sleep. OF course. he knew about the
carrying off the things. but the idea of a
mathema teal burglar stopping to do his
sums in alge5ray never occurred to him,
and L don't blame him. But one day it
struck him all in heap that the man who
did that sum was the burg; and then he
puts In the advertisement.
He told Bill that he thought he owed him
a thousand dollars: that he'd saved him a
year. at least. in getting into this college
that maybe he'd ha' woke up and got in
himself next year. but not that year, and
so Bill had saved him year. anyhow, and
NED prospered fairy well. and he thought
Bills rake-off for the year he'd saved him
that was satisfactory to Bill. as it was in
a high degree.
And 1t was the maxim of Bill He
bought blacksmith's shop there was for
sale in the neighborhood of where he was
then living and went to work; he was al
ways good man with tools. and he turned
out the best burglars too's of anybody in
his part of the country, and everybody
went to him. So. you see. here he was
now. all fixed again; no more night work
but work that he liked and that he could
do to advantage. and that was profitable
and comfortably settled down for life, sure
hammer. and all through doing that little
sum in alsebray on that boys papers

but l did know man once, real profess

marks behind him that turned out later to
his great benefit.
THAT was Bill Gobbes-William Gobbles.

himself in bed, youngster Of about six

some-looking lad he was, too, though he
looked as though he'd rather sail boat or
play ball than to 'raStle with figures; but
he'd been having a Set-to with figures, all
the same, as we presently discovered. or as
Bill did because Bill was the boss: he car

right where the boy left it when he pushed

in the light of the lamp as he bent down
over the papers. and then l see him fishin'
in his pocket for that stubby pencil. and

the paper with crosses and letters and
things that l didn't understand. 1t didn't
take him long. and when he'd got through
he put the pencil back in his pocket and
picked up the lamp and we got to work
again.
