Matt Grevelle, lately in the emplo,

Lake, arrived in the city from tn,

ing OF them, even to his most init
mate friends. 1t was through one OF
these friends that the Signal sleuth
succeeded in learning of thrilling
experience Mr.. Grevelle had in the
rugged Seven Devils mountains while
coming out. 1t seems that Mrs. Ada
Smith, the former postmistress at
Bear, and two children, daughter of
IL years and son of six, were at
Black Lake and were very anxious to
come out as far as Bear. No amount
OF persuasion would prevent them
from attempting the perilous journey,
which at this time of year tries the
nerves of the strongest man. Mr..
Grevelle's heroic nature was touched
and the quartette started on their
hazardous trip. The little tots did
not understand the use of snowshoes
very much and before starting a few
lessons we're given them. Several
times during the trip, Mr.. Grevelle
was sorry he had attempted the haz-
ardous undertaking, but in true
spirit he did not let it be known.
He was compelled at times to cut his
way through great drifts and then 90
back after the remainder of the party.
1t was extremely dangerous in passing
over those great crusted snow combs
near the tops of the rugged peaks
where misstep would no doubt have
resulted in certain destruction. The
trip was of course very hard one on
Mrs. Smith and the children, but at
no time did their courage fail them.
and they finally arrived safely at
their destination, and Matt Greyelle.
the hero and miner, came on to
Weiser. He reports everything run
ming smoothly in all departments at
both mines and mill. 1t has showed
almost continuously for nearly two
weeks In that section and about three
'eet OF fresh snow has fallen.

The next regular meeting of the
Outlook Club. which occurs on Wed
nesday, April 9th, promises to be one
the most interesting of the year, be-
ing Library Day. In. the past, the
custom has been for each member of
the club to present to the library one
or more books. This has aided us
very materially in keeping on hand
supply of good books, and we hope
that upon this occasion the book
offering will be large, if not larger
than ever before. Last year the num-
Der was close to seventy.
The meeting is to be held at the
charming home of Mrs. w. f. Som
mercamp, and each member is given
the privilege of inviting one guest to
be present This is to be 'sKip.

sketch OF kipling-readings from the
pen of that gifted writer, and music.
In which Miss Frances Phelps takes

1t Is customary III writing Of an en-

complimentary; and in many cases the

Such an exception as the concert
given for the benefit Of the Confeder-

praise truthiully and with a good con
science.
1t is safe to say that there was not
d member Of the great audience who
was not surprised by the artistic ex-
ceIlence Of the work, the grace and
smoothness of management. and the
genuine enthusiasm produced. It Is
unfortunate that time and space will
not allow separate mention of each ot
the performers. and a description o.
the different Numbers comprising the
program.
The audience was captured at tht
beginning by the children's drill, per
