Reminders of Flood.

Athena Press: Since the disas-
trous Willow creek food laid ruin and
death in its path at Heppner, many
things have occurred which recall
the calamity. A recent incident is
the action of the board of education
in releasing two of the teaching staff
of the public schools which opened
Monday. This had to be done on &C
count of the large number Of child
rem drowned.
Probably one story Of the food
which has never been given to the
public has just been told by one of
the survivors. Several days after
the flood, he says, he was walking
along the bank Of the creek when he
observed one Of the public school
books lying on the bank. He stopped
over to see what it was and the
heading Of the article at which the
book was opened read, The Story of
the Tempest"

PROMISING CLAIMS
Salem Twist Returns From
Gave GuICh District
ON SNAKE RIVER NEAR LEWISTON
Has TWO Mines That Show Up Well
Rich Groupings Assay Into
Thousands Of Dollars.
ON SNAKE RIVER NEAR LEWISTON

| Trained down to the middle-Weight
class by a six months stay in the
open air following the occupation Of
miner and prOspector, Salem Twist
returned yesterday from the famous
Cave Gulch mining district above
! Lewiston, where he has been since
! last April developing two promising
| claims. The Maine" and the "COlum-
! bia." Reports Of the rich mineral de-
posts which exist in that district
have not been exaggerated in the
least. Mr.. Twist said this morning, and
some good properties are being open
ed up.
Cave Gulch, which is located on the
Snake % miles above Lewiston, first
came into prominence through rich
| groupings discovered by miner and
prospector named Wauman. Several
sacks of the ore brought down to Lew
iston assayed nearly $1,000 to the ton.
! A shipment to the Everett smelter
netted a sum sufficient to stamp the
district as rich in gold. Wauman in
terested capital and development
work on his properties are being rush
ed.
Wauman made his strike early IN
! the wear and in April Mr. Twist left
Walla WaIla for that district, lOcat-
ing two good claims. Principal atten-
ton has been paid to the Maine and
considerable development work has
been done already.
Following his trade Of barber for
% years Mr.. Twist says hardly put
him in condition to follow the Voca-
ton of a miner and for the first two
or three weeks he was stiff and sore
from the unusual work. Perseverance
won out, however, and in month he
was able to swing the pick, wheel
rock and eat his ratiOns Of pork and
beans with any Of his men employed
in the mine. Mr.. Twist expects to re-
turn to the district shortly to con-
tinue development work. His son
Roy. who also spent the summer at
the mines, is now in the Imnaha dis

yet hopes to hang the monsters hide

a balloon sailing majestically
through the air at an altitude of. over
a mile and then all Of a sudden a man
emerging from the black mass and
descending to earth slowly with the
aid Of a parachute was the sight thar
met the wondering gaze Of two young
W1alla Walla men yesterday afternoon
as they were returning from a hunt
ing trip in the Hudson Bay country
The young men refused to allow their
names to be used, fearing that
friends might doubt their statements
but they declare they witnessed all
the daring features Of an aeronaut' s
counting death by plunge from the
clouds.
The thrilling feat was witnessed
from point near the Blalock com
pany's ranch west Of Walla Walla
about o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Driving along the road one of the
=
lowering in the clouds apparently
four or five miles away and toward
Milton. The rig was stopped, and the
mass, closely examined soon evolved
into huge balloon. Smoke was seen
TO drift laZily from its mouth. Sud
denly man, apparently like a mere
speck at the distance, shot from the
balloon and plunged toward the earth.
Fer a few seconds he continued his
headlOng flight Then an umbrella
like parachute caught the breeze and
opening cut checked his speed and the
remainder Of the journey was made
at a leisurely gait. The balloon re-
lieVed Of the mans weight turned
turtle and with black smoke belchng
cut in clouds settled to earth and
was lost sight Of.
The appearance Of q balloon in the
rural districts miles away from any
town caused considerable speculation
It is supposed that some aeronaut
with leisure time on his hands was
making practice trip.

WAS INSANE ACT.
De jausserand on Trial fer Shootnu
Wife.

Seattle.-Nicholas De Jausserand,
who shot his wife on April 16 and
then tried to kill himself, is on trial
in the criminal department of the
superior court. The shooting took
place late in the afternoon at the
corner of Terry avenue and Union
street. The states case is that the
man attempted to murder the woman
after she had deserted him because
Of her refusal to return to live with
him again. The defense is that De
Jausserand, at the time of the shoot
ing, was insane. The cause Of the
temporary loss of his mind is attrib-
uted to his wife's confession, made
Immediately before the shooting of
gross immortality during her married
life
The chief witness for the state
was Mrs. De Jausserand, who swore
that she deserted her husband be-
cause Of his bad temper and cruel
treatment. She stated that on the
day Of the shooting he met her and
they walked along together, while he
tried to persuade her to return to
live with him again. When she re-
fused he pulled out a gun and shot
her. Without any hesitancy she adj
mitted that during his absence she
had been guilty Of immoral conduct,
and that Immediately before the
shooting she confessed to her husband
her infdelty.
The defendant was the chief wit
ness in his own behalf On the wit
ness stand he sWore that when he re-
turned from a trip on the boat OF
which he was engineer he went to his
home to see his wife and found the
house deserted and empty. Then he
commenced hearing stories Of her
improper conduct with other men.
