Chicago. Aug. THE best evidence
of the solid condition of the northwest

he said that Montana banks were loan
ing money on eastern securities.
These banks are loaning in Phil
adelphia." he said. "on securities on
eastern properties. The northwest is
in splendid condition. There need be
no fear of a repetition OF the disas-
ters of ten years ago. The northwest
stands solidly on its own basis OF pro.
duction. There are no inflated condi'
tions there.

The wheat crop Is very satisfactory
Recent rains have secured that. The

THE BODY IS

Who Was Drowned, Found Float.
ing on Lake Sewell.
DROWNING OCCURRED TUESDAY
A Vigorous Search Has Been Made
Since His Absence Was Diseov-
ered-eoy Buried Yesterday.

Helena. Aug. lO.-The mystery sur.
rounding the disappearance of Eugena
b. Cooney. the lO-year-old son OF y
II. Cooney, of Great Falls, was clear.
ed away early this morning, when
Fred Sanders and Ernest Douglass,
two of the searchers who had been
employed to patrol Lake Sewell
found the body of the missing child
floating on the waters of the lake
about half a mile above Canyon
Ferry. When found. the body had IN
il very few clothes, nothing except a
pair Of overalls. an undershirt and a
pair of socks. The body having been
in the water six days, was in bad con
dition.
The remains of the lad were brought
TO Helena this afternoon, and this ev.
ening. accompanied by large mum.
ber OF relatives. the body was taken
to Great Falls. where the funeral will
be held al 2 O'Clock tomorrow after
noon.
The finding OF the body was the re
suit OF an extensive and very thor.
ough search. The boy was undoubt
edly drowned late Tuesday afternoon
but the search for him was not com
menced until Wednesday night. when
the relatives of the child became
alarmed by the discovery of the emp
ty boat. From Wednesday night until
this morning, the lake was patrolled
by boats while the surrounding coun
try was secured. the theory of some
being that the boy had left the boa,
and had become lost in the noun
tains.
Sunday large amount of dyna
mite and blasting powder was explod
ed on the lake. and especially in the
upper and middle portions, although
the body was found much lower down
on the lake than il was expected "a
be. il Is believed the exploding pow.
der raised II to the surface. The
body was floating near the shore when
found.
II was learned Sunday that the boy
had been in the habit OF using a sal
belonging to another Doat on IN,
craft from which he was drowned
The boat which he was using was a
galvanized iron affair used by sports
men as duck boat. The craft has a
hole through each end In which tc
place stakes to hold in position while
hunter is shooting from a stand
The theory is OF the boys drowninl
that he placed the sail mast in on,
of these holes and got on the Other
end of the craft TO balance H. That
the sail did not work well and while
trying to unstep the mast he fell over
board and became entangled in the
sail and was drowned before he could
get loose. His fall probably knocked
the camp stool. which he used for a
seat. overheard. The sail was found
about three miles from the house this
afternoon by A. NJ. Day, a brother
in-law OF Mr.. Cooney.

many times larger. In no country is

New Zealand Is country in which
