Frank f. Parkyn. manager of the Lew
iston Lumber Co., left yesterday for
Greer. He goes from that place to the
timber country where he has q crew Of
twelve men cutting raft timber. His
company has adopted the plan of rafting
their logs from the upper river this sea-
SON finding 1t cheaper than to take the
risk of losing them in drive or in an
unexpected rise caused by heavy rains In
the early fall.
Mr.. Parkyn states that his company
has 3S men OIL their pay roll at the mill
and these with the number he has at
work in the woods makes so men paid
every week. Although there is lull In
the lumber market, at present he is keep
ing the mill running full time in con-
temptation of a heavy demand this fall.
For number of years the mill men of
Lewiston have been unable to supply the
local market and there has developed an
extensive market for outside products.
The Lewiston Lumber Company is
making every effort to prevent this con-
dition in the future. This will keep
Lewiston capital in Lewiston.

him to the ground where he was picked
up in an unconscious state. II was an
hour before the patient was brought to

THE lMNAHA HAS TROUBLE
Hangs up at Sheep Camp Rapids Till a Big
Rock is Blasted Out-Otherwiss Has No
Difficulty


Captain +. w. Baughman returned
from the upper river today bringing the
first definite knowledge of how the
steamer Imnaha behaved on her initial
trip to the mines. Captain Baughman
left the steamer hung up at Sheep Camp
rapids two and one half miles below
Imnaha where today a crew from the
mines above will blast out the big rock
that is causing the difficulty.
Concerning the trip Captain Baugh-
man said: The boat had no trouble at
all in making the trip till we got to
Sheep Camp rapids two and one half
miles below the mouth Of Imnaha. We
made Couse creek the first night and got
away from there at 4:Io Wednesday
morning. We ran over Wild Goose
ra pids without a hitch carrying $50
pounds of steam. We tried the Mary X
rapids with the same head of steam but
were obliged to increase il to I8o pounds
which carried us over that without line.
We reached Sheep Camp rapids at 1880
p. m. Wednesday and encountered our
first real difficulty. Here is where the
new rock has fallen in the channel as
described by the United States engineers
on their recent report. The rock has
rolled in from the Idaho side aud lies
about 80 feet off shore. II is from 60 to
10 feet long. 80 feet wide and eight out
OF water. The current rushes around
| this rock at a terrific rate and there are
two bad eddis below the rock. The
channel on the Oregon side is narrowed
to 81 feet and the fall from the head OF
the rock to the eddy is about three feet.
We tried to climb the rapid several times
but failed. We then threw out line
but the current at the eddy threw the
boat about so she could not be steered,
and finally turned the bow completely
till the steel cable had to be cut. The
boat could no doubt have been pulled
over by the steam capstan but the better
plan would be to dispose of the rock by
blasting which job left to them and re-
turned"
The Imnaha left here Tuesday evening
with forty tons of freight on her initial
trip for Imnaha. Captain Baughman is
very much pleased at the way the boat
runs the heavy rapids and predicts that
when the rock at Sheep Camp is knocked
out the Imnaha will make the run from
! Lewiston TO Imnaha in eleven hours and
at no time will need more than I8o
pounds Of steam, having forty FIVE pounds
in reserve for emergencies. Captain
Baughman made the trip as an observer
Captain Harry Baughman is in charge OF
the boat and will run her regularly on
the trips. Captain +. w. Baughman left
the Imnaha yesterday at p. M, spent
last night at his mine on Garden creek
and reached Lewiston at IL o'clock this
morning.

Mayor, Message Outlines Municipal Policy

The inaugural address of Mayor Kress
outlined his position on the municipal
questions that confront the new council.
The first question he took up was the
water works. A thorough investigation
and prompt action was advised in those
premises. He called attention to the
fact that citizens were careless with their
private premises keeping them in an un-
tidy condition.
The question OF improving the ceme-
teTy was extensively discussed and by
way OF description he explained that the
cemetery was a disg' ace to the city,
being covered with iuxuriant growth of
weeds that were liable to combustion
from match carelessly dropped and as a
hundreds of people buried in unknown
graves. 1t was recommended that the
entire platt be sown to grass as soon as
sufficient water is furnished by the water
works Similar suggestions were made
for the city park. The mayor recon-
mended an auditing committee for the
council and the early completion Of the
codifying of city ordinances by S. l.. Nc
Farland and Chas. Mcdonald. who have
had that work placed in their hands.
In dealing with the question Of officers
ths Mayor recommended consolidation
of Offices as much as possible and among
other things he makes the following
statement:
"Ali officers should give bonds for the
faithful performance of their duties. The
city should receive iull value for every
dollar expended. aud any one in he EN-.
ploy of the citY who is unwilling or in
capable Of doing his duty should b
promptly called to account. aud IL SC
found. should be at once removed"

BOYS DROWNED IN BATHING
Two Young Sons of Professor TaIkinston Lose
Their Lives in the SIoush-Thsy Left Home
to Gather Cartridge Shells and Went Bathing.


A sad fatality occurred Tuesday after
noon when the two young sons of Profess
sor and Mrs. H. l.. Talkington wandered
from home and in their childhood s
innocence risked aud lost their lives in
the treacherous waters of the Snake
river. The exact hour and manner of
their death will never be known, as they
were quite alone at the tina, aud their
bodies were found after a night of search
ing near each other in deep eddy of
the Cox slough above the slaughter
house.
The two boys, Arthur and Paul, aged
9 and 6 years respectively, left their home
about O'Clock Tuesday afternoon to go
to the shooting grounds to pick up car
fridge shells. AS the evening advanced
and they did not return their parents
grew uneasy. After supper Professor
Talkington started for the shooting
grounds. thinking he would find them
absorbed in play. But there was no trace
of them and in alarm he directed his
steps toward the river, where their tracks
were soon discovered in the sand along
the bank, but not near to or entering the
water.
By this time general alarm had been
sounded aud fifty or more men and boys
with lanterns searched the hillsides and
river bank for further traces of the chill
dren. The search continued till 1 O'Clock
in the morning without avail. Shortly
after daylight Wednesday morning the
search continued and the bodies were re-
covered at about 6:3o in the Cox slough
| about mile south of the city on Snake
| river. Will Culver was the first to dis
cover their clothing and word was sent
to the grief stricken parents, who knew
then that the worst was inevitable. As
soon as the clothes were found search
of the slough began. Christ Geilius, a
fisherman, was soon on the ground with
his boat and seine. The first cast of the
dragnet brought up the body of the elder
boy, Arthur, and Paul was found the
next time only few feet away. The
bodies were taken to the Vassar under
taking parlors where they were prepared
for burial and late in the afternoon con-
veytd to their home, where grief and
mourning had prostrated their parents.
Nothing can ever be definitely known
about the details of their death. Their
clothes were found at IA point on the
slough where narrow channel leads to
the island formed there, and the water
though shallow flows with quite a cur
rent and soon breaks into deep water. II
is thought they started to wade across
and were swept into the slough where
they drowned. They were last noticed
by the passers by as the steamer Imnaha
went up the river. They we're playing
along the bank dabbling in the waves
that followed the boat up the stream.
The children were the only sons oi
Professor aud Mrs. Talkington and two
of their family of three happy children
The sad blow has completely prostrated
them. News was sent to Anaconda
Montana, to the father and sister oi
Professor Talkington and they are en-
route to the city. On their arrival today
the funeral will take place from the
house.

REALLY A BENEFIT.
Tahiti Will Be Gamer in End from
Tidal Wave.

San Francisco, May 2S.-J. Lamb
Doty, formerly United States consul at
Tanita, was a passenger on the steam
er Mariposa which has just arrived.
Fifteen years residence at Papete has
familiarized him with conditions in that
part of the world. The recent tidal
wave. disastrous as it was to life and
property in islands adjacent to Tahita,
seems to be the means, things the for
mer consul. of putting insular business
methods an OH up-to-date basis.
1.-THE catastrophe was in itself most
lamentable occurrence" said Mr. Doty,
but the tragedy was not without it's
good effects. The destruction of lives
and property will be followed, | believe,
by the wiDing out of the old slip-shod
methods of doing business. Tahiti has
wonderful agricultural resources and I
see a great future for her and her
South Sea sisters under the magic wand
of modern business methods"
