LIFE's LONG JOURNEY ENDS IN THE IDAHO LEGISLATURE

Alfred Oamas, One oi The Best kaewa CHI.

Prominent Mason.
Lewiston people were panied to learn
Wednesday morning that Alfred Damas
had quietly passed away at the home OF
his daughter, Mrs. r. W. Kettenbach,
after an illness of few weeks. For
years MIR. Damas had been closely den-
tilted with the business life Of the city.
In life he had varied career. He was
born in Belgium. He began his career
as sailor and when he quit the life Of
the sea he was midshipman. He had
visited the principal countries Of the
world and saw every port. Steam was
not used in his day as now, but the hard
work Of rigging sails, ETC., fitted him out
with the good health that came in good
play in after years. He arrived in San
Francisco in I84o when the gold excite.
nlent was at its height. He became .
miner, When the Idaho excitement came
on in the COS he came north and began
business in Orc6nc. He resided there
until 1871 when he came to this city
where he has since lived. While in Sho-
shone county he served a. the first treas
urer, and also one term as probate judge.
No man in the west has done more and
harder work for the advancement Of
Masonry than Alfred Damss. He began
at the bottom of the ladder, and worked
through long years, studying history and
laws until he reached the highest degree.
A year or two ago MIR. Damas attended
the session Of the Supreme council Ut
Washington, d c and there was made .
33rd degree Mason. Idaho was made .
separate jurisdiction and Mr.. Damas in.
spector general.
In life Alfred Danias had high ideals.
He believed in helping men to be better.
and did those things to encourage good.

sake Of the principle. He was quiet and
uuassuming. He did his work we'll. and

enduring than either bronze or marble

He was 81 years Of age. He leaves hi

torious criminal and of the ingenuity
and promptitude of his old friend
Brown.
Meanwhile the young man had
looked up smilingly In answer to
the remarks of the old gentleman by
the hedge, he said that he had come
a considerable distance-that-and
this with a very pleasant laugh
well, yes he was thirsty and that
there would be plenty of time to fin
ish his sketch after luncheon, and
that he thought it a most kind sug-
gestion of his questioner to invite
him to have some.
For one instant Mr.. Brown glanced
nervously at silver box and candle
sticks on Valentines writing table.
Inen, murmuring an excuse, he ran
painting to the stables; in a choking
voice dispatched the astonished
coachman for the police, and a helper,
with an impressive message scrib-

On his return he found the archi-
tect-burglar laughing over favorite
book of Valentines, the DIARY of
Nobody'-and they two talked, Mr..
Brown for his part with curious
sent-mindedness of books and diff

The door was flung open, and tall,

the dining room.

about?"
