Is Dead.

Mention was made last week that w.
N. Scales had been called back to Vir-
ginia by the serious illness Of his little
son, Archie. The boy died before the
father had gone third OF the distance.
He was an unusually bright child, the
picture of health, and the last one would
expect to see taken away. The grief
stricken parents have the sympathy OF
all their friends in their great loss"
The above sad news was taken
from the Grangeville Standard. Mrs.
Scales, formerly Miss Helen New
man, resided in Weiser for some
time and is well known in this Sec
ton. She and her little son were
visiting with relatives in Virgins
when death claimed him. A large

RIGaINs, Idaho, May 8 9.-Michael
H. Hewitt was drowned in the big
eddy above Salmon Point yesterday
afternoon about 4 o'clock, and, as
with all the victims of the trsacher-
Gus Salmon, the body will probably
never be recovered. Hewitt was
working for the Plttsburg- Idaho
Mining company on the wagon road
being constructed to Shorts Bar.
Sunday afternoon while the men we're
sitting around the company camp,
Ben Houston, of Council, and Walter
Colby concluded to 60 up Salmon
river to Gilbert Tracy's camp and
asked some ono to take them over
the river in the boat. Hewitt volun-
teered and Colby rowed the boat
across with the three men in. and
Hewitt started back in the boat
alone. He did not appear to have
very good management of the boa
and it washed down stream towart
the big eddy above Salmon Point
At the upper end of the eddy th'
water is rather swift but not danger
GUS. AS he went through this ant
just as he got to the upper end o
the back current of the eddy, Hewitt
jumped from the boat and attempte
to swim ashore. He was goo
swimmer but when he left the boa
he had to face the back current as
sweeps into the main current and tn
eddy current was SO strong ne coul
not make headway shorewards. Th
men from the camp ran down with
rope to throw to him but just as the
reached the spot Hewitt went dow
IN the suction and was never see
again. Had be not left the boat b
would have been perfectly safe as h
hat and the boat floated about In tt

SALMON POINT ON
MAY s.

it and there was no occanoh for
alarm, but it is probable Hewitt lost
his head and did not take any nots
of the situation, and being apparent
ly a poor boatman, he must have
feared he would be carried through
the swifter rapids at the lower end
of the eddy where the Salmon dashes
up against the point. This condition
of mind was possibly increased be-
cause of the fact that John Potter
and r f. Lockwood we're carried
through to the lower rapid few
weeks before in the same boat, but
by keeping cool they escaped with
light wetting from The waves which
dashed over the bost TN in1td6nt
was witnessed BY several {smong
them Hewitt) who expected to see
them 60 under, and there Was after
ward comment at the camp over
what was called a narrow escape.
But as the boat went safely through
these rapids without guidance after
Hewitt sank, they are not so bad -
he imagined, and he would have
been unharmed had he remained in
the boat and had been. carried
through, Of which there was no dan
ger of occurring at the time of his
leap. However, this probably in
fluenced his mind and exaggerated to
him the appearance and magnitude
of the river as it widened out into
the eddy below the first swift water,
and aided to bewiIder and distract
, him.
! Hewitt was from Wisconsin, where
: his mother lives at Cooperstown He
worked in Weiser last fall on the
/ Galloway ditch for Wilkerson and
, Harkins. He was well educated, in
} telligent and a fine man in every way
3 and was liked for his excellent quail
} ties by those who grew acquainted
: with him. He was "a years old, left
t no effects here and was unmarried.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

1t is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention of
articles of minor importance. Many of
the most popular devices are those de
signed to benefit the people and meet
popular conditions, and one of the most
interesting of these that has ever been
invented is the DR.. White Electric Comb,
patented January I, 90. These wonder
full Combs positively cure dandruff, hair
falling out, sick and nervous headaches,
and when used with Dr. Whites Electric
Hair Brush are positively guaranteed to
make straight hair curly in 25 days time
Thousands of these electric combs have
been sold in various cities of the Union,
and the demand is constantly increasing.
Our agents are rapidly becoming rich
