Another Death by Drowning.

Last Wednesday afternoon another
life was added to the death list OF
drownings in the Bitter Root river.
Joseph Kneip, grader employed on
the Darby extension, attempted to
float down the river on a raft in com.
pany with three other men. A few
hundred yards below the place of
st arting the raft was seen to founder
and the three men were overturned in
the rushing water. Kneip alone was
unable to swim, his companions reach
ing shore safely. He was swirled
around in the current and seemed un-
able to Chamber to the bank.
His body was found the following
day at the mouth of Skalkaho and was
brought to town, where an inquest
was held in Lockwood's undertaking
rooms. The verdict of the coroner's
jury was that he came to his death by
drowning. For time foul play was
suspected and his companions were

THE FOURTH WAS A DAY OF .JOY.
ANCE ALL OVER THE VALLEY.
EVERYBODY HAD A GOOD TIME
Messrs. Wagner and O'Hara Deliver
Addresses-Picnic at Blood's-
That dance at Grantsdale.

All over the valley the opinion pre-
walls that the Fourth was a day of
universal joyance. 1t seemed that
everyone had his patriotism on straight
and thoughts of George Washington
in his heart. The leaden skies and
the showers which fell in the lower
valley could not dampen the enthus-
lasm everywhere apparent. Never
before was the opportunity better
for dwellers in remote parts of the
valley to have good time, for town
and grove had its attraction and none
OF them was overshadowed by some
lara er celebration.
The morning train for Mssoula
carried several hundred to the celebra-
ton in the city of gardens. Beautiful
Lake Como threw its allurements from
Darby to Stevens vile and drew hum
dreds to its cooling brink. Corvallis
proved strong drawing card by hold
ing the townspeople and attracting
people from other towns.
ABOUT Two nunureu people from
Hamilton and Grantsdale gathered in
Blood's grove south of town. The
boom of tire-crack ers, young Americas
war whoop, and the quiet conversation
OF advancing patriots blended in per-
feet consonance and the dancing pa
vilion swarmed with ardent admirers
of Terpsichore.
Attorney Chas. S. Wagner Of Ham
ilton delivered stirring address at
Como which was pronounced a splen-
did effort. r. A. O'Hara, and Rev. D,
b. Price of the Stevensville Training
school spoke at Corvallis.
At night there were dances ad sum
mum, one of the best of which was at
Grantsdale and was largely attended
by Hamilton people. The floor is one
of the largest and best in the valley
and Monday night it's capacity was
fully tested.

Fellow Who Burnt the City Jail rlust
Face Serious Charge-Bound Over
to District Court.

Charles Johnson was arraigned i'm
Justice Norris court Thursday and
formally charged with the crime of
arson. Johnson is the fellow who
tried to burn his way out of the city
Jail. He is a Welshman and talks with
decided provincialism.
Marshall Higgins was the only wit
ness for the prosecution. He stated
that Johnson was the only inmate of
the Jail at the time OF the fire and had
full access to every part of the build
ing. He testified that the prisoner
had taken blankets from the cement
cells, rolled them into bundle,
placed them in the one wooden cell
and ignited them. He then cooly
closed the cell and lay down on the
bed in the Jail office. When Higgins
concluded his story Justice Morris
told johnson to ask the marshall any
questions he desired, which he did,
saying, "How that the Jail went in
fire?"
Johnson took the stand himself and
was profoundly decorous, prefacing
his answer to every question with
"Your Worship" He stated that he
was born i'll Wales and came to Amer
ica three months ago. He testified
that he had a wife and two children.
During the hearing he was deeply af-
fected several times and his eyes were
moistened freely. He stated that he
was told that all he'd have to do in
this country was to pick up money.
He was bound over to the district
court in the sum of $500, which he
could not furnish, and was accordingly
remanded to the county bastile. When
his trial comes up the county will
provide him with counsel.

Mrs. Frank A. Price Dead,

Mrs. Frank A. Price of Corvallis
died of parturition at an early hour
S unday morning. She had been quite
sick at times during the weeks pre-
vious to her fatal illness, but hope
was held out until the last few days.
Her death came as shock to the
co immunity in which she had endeared
herself and won the esteem Of every
one by her many admirable qualities
The funeral was held Monday at 10
O'Clock and was largely attended. Rev.
Geo. A. White conducted brief SER
vices at the house and hundreds of
sorrowing friends followed the re-
mains to the cemetery.
Mrs. Price, formerly Miss Eva
Staples, was born in Keytsville,
Sheridan county, Mo-, in 1874, being
thirty years of age. She was the
eldest of nine children, tve of whom
were girls and four we're boys, She
was united in marriage to Frank A
Price at Keytsville, NO., Sept. "a, 1902.
Coming to Montana Mr.. and Mrs.
Price lived for a time in Missoula,
III owing later to Corvallis, where they
have since resided. Mrs. Price was a
m ember of the Presbyterian church,
having been an earnest and devout
church worker for fiften years.
Amiable and ingratiating, her death h
is universal loss. A consistent
Christian, she we'll earned the reward
whi ch awaits her in that land into
VIII ich no earth-born sorrows enter
and from which the beauties of day
light never fade.

Few particulars as to his past life
could be CLEANED and even his identity
was entrusted to the strangers who
were with him on the raft. He came
to the valley to work on the railroad
for Winters, Parsons & Boomer. He
was homeless and frtendless and was
buried in the potter's field. His
death was but a passing incident here,
but somewhere anxiety will deepen
and hearts will long,

however. are so small part of the
whole that their effect in holding back
the record of increase in vegetable food
consumption is not important.
The increased population of the big

dening and canning industries and the
Capitalization Of the killing and prep
aration of meat foods into large pack
ing plants has aided to force the condi-
ton noted by the magazine writer.
Few people kill their own meat now
adays. Fifty years ago nearly every
family outside of the great cities
butchered animals and laid down" its
winter supply of meat. There was a
smoke house for hams and shoulders
in every back yard, and q pork barrel
for side meat in every cellar. Fried
pork was as staple as breakfast foods
are now Canned vegetables were
practically unknown. The growth Of
the vegetarian habit noted by the
magazine writer holds the whole his
tory of canning factories, handy pack
ages, cartons of prepared vegetable
foods and the convenient and attrac-
tive preparation Of handy foods.

The Dead at Lao Yang.

He had no quarrel with any man,
He knew not what they call him for;
Yet, roll and pack upon his back,
Ivan, the peasant, went to war;
"The Little Father calls" he said,
And followed, followed as he sang,
Till on a trampled trench he lay
Among the dead at Liaoyang.
Not his the dream of land and power,
The greed Of gain, the dread of loss;
He marched with orders to the field
To bear his rife-and his cross.
God had ordained it, SO he faced
The pelting hail that snarled and
sang
And gave his patient blood away
Among the dead at Liaoyang.
Among the glitter Of his court
In safety sat the mystic car:
Safe sat the scheming minister
Who cast a careless die for war;
They could not hear the shattered
groan,
The horrid chant Of death that rang,
Where unconsu1ted thousands lay
Among the dead at Liaoyang.
He had no quarrel with any man,
He had no cause to battle Tor;
Yet, roll and pack upon his back,
Ivan, the peasant, went to war.
A minister had made a, map
From which deadly army sprang;
SO Ivan fell, and made no sign,
Among the dead at Laoyang.

KEEP 'EM IN MIND
Sac SUM
Keep in mind the two amendments
proposed to the Iowa constitutions
Both have much in their favor. Read
them this week in the Proclamation or
the governor, which is published in the
Sun. If one is adopted the necessity OF
giving time, money and thought to
elections will be felt only once in two
years. If the other is adopted every
county in the state will be permitted
representative. This Is eminently fair;
but if the privilege is accorded the
few counties now deprived of represen-
tation it must be thru the cooperation
of fair minded citizens in the counties
not so unfortunately situated. Vote Tor
both amendments to the constitution.
There will be no danger Of invalidatlng
your ballot in doing so; for the pro-
posed amendments will be printed on
separate ballot of different color, ana
the two ballots cannot be mixed. Ev-
cry voter will receive one or the
amendment ballots when he enters the
booth to vote.
BIENNIAL ELECTIONS THE hflol'
TClarion Monitorl
n u, ,nrsts Hon,
After careful study OF the question:
the Monitor is frank TO say that II
believes biennial elections WOULD De
preferable to annual. 1t believes THAT
the great expense incidental to the
holding of annual elections is uncalled
for, because the experience of other
states which have adopted the blen-
NAL system shows that the peoples
welfare is just as carefully conserved
interest in governmental affairs does
not lag, and the change is so accept
able to the mass of voters that no
thought is entertained of going back
to the old system. Iowa is political
hot bed the year round. No sooner
is one election over than the poll
ticians begin to lay the wires for next
year. The voter is importuned in sea-
son and out to support this or the
other candidate, and it has come to
such pass that the din of politics is
never out of ones ears. Is it any
wonder that no interest is being taken
in this years election? Is 1t any
wonder that the voter refuses to be-
come enthusiastic over any candidate?
He has been crammed so full of poll
tics that the very mention of the word
nauseates him, and he becomes dis
gusted with the whole system.
The biennial election proposition
should carry as a measure of economy
and for the good of society.
