Gus Spongberg is back in Mont
pelier again after an absence of
three years at Valdez, Alaska. He
arrived last Sunday morning, look
ing hale and hearty. but about Is
pounds lighter in weight tnan when
he left here. Mr.. Spongberg says
that Alaska is great country, both
as regards distances and as a wealth
producer. In the latter respect he
says that it is really only in it's in
fancy. He has many interesting in
cidents to relate regarding the
country, its climate and people.
1t will be surprising to many people
here to know that at Valdez last
winter the thermometer never regis
tered below zero. Last winter was
unusually mild, but Mr.. Spongberg
says that it scarcely ever gets below
l5 degrees at Valdez, and the other
coast towns have about the same
climate. Valdez is right up to date,
as are all the other towns of any
size up there. 1t has two news
papers,.a telephone and electric light
system, and other conveniences.

The Star Valley Road.

The committee appointed by the
Commercial club, to meet with a
like committee from Alton, to look
over the road between this city and
Star valley, started out last Satur-
day. Half way over they met
Messrs. Arthur and Thos. Roberts,
George Osmond, Arthur Burton
and Lu Hale, representing Alton.
The entire road was carefully gone
over, aud the conclusions arrived at
were as fellows:
That Montpelier canyon was
about the worst part of the highway !,
and needed immediate attention.
The road to be continued on NJ.
Grow creek to the sshalf way house. %
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1905-05-26

and the grades and dugways across
Thomas Fork to be widened and
we'll drained. A new piece of road
to be built to miss the worst part of
Beaver canyon.
If, after this work Is completed,
there is any money left then the
committee also recommend that the
present road be continued from
Snowslide canyon on up Montpelier
creek to point directly east of
W Whisky fiat. This change would
cut out Giveout station.
It was the opinion of the joint
committee that first class road
could be made to Star valley, by
properly widening the dugways and
providing them with drain bitches.
If all the changes proposed cannot
lie made now, they can be considered
at another time. The principal and
most urgent matter was to start
work Immediately while the bad
places are so much IN evidence.
There seemed to the committee no
valid reason why the road up Mont
peller canyon should not be made
one of the finest in the country and
that, too, at small cost.
The Montpelier committee re-
turned Sunday.

FELL INTO A WELL.
Little Son Of Chas. Holmes Had a
Narrow Escape from Death
Last Thursday.

AHuIsudy AFTERNOON OF laSJ week
Neldon, the two year and half old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Holmes,
had a narrow escape from beng
drowned in the we'll at their home.
On one side of the platform of the
well the dirt had caved in consider.
able. This had been covered by
board which was much wider in the
middle than at either end. Little
Neldon, while playing about the
we'll alone got on that board on his
hands and knees and was trying to
look down the well, when the>board
suddenly tilted and he was plunged
down the we'll head first. AT a
depth of Is feet there are two mar
row planks across the well. I'm some
way the child landed astride one of
the planks which was close enough
to the pump tubing for him to cling
to 1T. Fortunately the little fellow
had enough presence of mind to
realize his dangerous position aud
he sat there quietly and held onto
the tubing. Had he lost his balance
he would have fallen 20 feet further
into about l2 feet of water
1t was probably 5 minute before
Mrs. Holmes missed Neldon aud
when she came out of the house to
search for him she could hear him
calling "Mamma, come help me
out" This, the little fellow was
repeating constantly. Mrs. Holmes
was quick to realize where her child
was, and frantically called for help.
The only man near was German
who could scarcely understand Eng
lish and 1T was with considerable
difficulty that Mrs. Holmes could
make him understand what she
wanted. She finally succeeded. how
ever, and they then lowered rope,
with a slip moose on it, and Mrs.
Holmes told the child how to place
it about bis body SO they could pull
him up. This he did and they
4
quickly rescued him from his
dangerous position. He was not
the least bit injured, and IN a few
minutes afterwards he, chlld.like,
wanted to see that hole he fell into.
Had it not been for the plank
across the well, on which Neldon
landed, he would have been drowned
and his body would doubtless have
not been found some time,- for there
was no evidence about the platform
to indicate that the child had fallen
into the well. AS it was, his escapf

for him to have fallen ON either side
of the planks, and to the fact thai

cool headed enough to sit still and
cling to the pump, little Neldon
owes his life.
