Poles Shipped to San Salvador.

The Humbird Lumber company
this week received a cablegram or
der from Santa Ana, San Salvador,
for 600 cedar poles. The cablegram
was in Spanish and also in cipher,
and Mr.. Chap1n, manager of the
sales department of the company
had to send the message to San
Francisco to be translated. Mr..
Chaplin had been in communication
with the Santa Ana parties during
the past few months relative to the
poles, the first two letters from
Santa Ana being written in En-
glish, and then came one written
in Spanish, which Mr.. Chaplin was
able, by the use of the dictionary,
to translate, but when the one
arrived in Spanish and cipher, he
could make nothing out of it. 1t
takes a letter 80 days to go from
Standpoint 10 Santa Ana, and the
cablegram was sent by way of Gal
weston. The poles will be shipped
to Portland, where they will be put
on board a steamer for shipment to
San Salvador. Standpoint News.

Weather Report.

Moderately high temperature pre-
vailed over the entire state through
out the week, though no excessively
high readings are reported. The
maximum temperatures were gem
Ell ally between 80 degrees and 90
degrees, and the minimum temper
atures ranged between so degrees
and 90 degrees in the valleys and
between 40 degrees and so degrees
in more elevated districts. The
change in temperature from day to
day was very slight, having aver
aged but degrees at Boise. The
average daily excess in temperature
was about degrees in all sections.
The percentage of sunshine was
very high over practically the en-
tire state, having been estimated to
be as high as 90 in some localities.
The week was practically rainless,
the only precipitation reported hav-
ing been a few light sprinkles, over
limited areas. Light smoke from
forest fires was prevalent during
the first and middle of the week,
but was generally cleared away by
brisk westerly winds on the first
of September. There were no high
winds reported. At Mountain
Home the maximum temperature
was o5 degrees on the 27th, anc
the minimum was 40 degrees or
the 2sth, The sky was clear t.
partly cloudy and the winds were
mostly from the northwest.

not long ago. In the spring of 1916,
a company was organized by James
F. Read, in which were two Dom
ner brothers, in Springfield, Illi-
nois, to cross the country to Califor-
MIA 1t was composed of eighty
three persons and was we'll equip
ped. 1t moved up the trail made
by the Oregon pioneers, but drifted
away to the south somewhere in
what is now Wyoming, wandered
helplessly through the mountains
for some days, but finally descend
ed into this valley through Emil
grafton canyon. It's objective point
was California, so after some rest
it started west None in the COM
pany knew the country before them;
none knew where water could he
obtained, but it seems that finally
some one told them about the gen.
eral route, and they started on
the trailless way. They suffered
incredible hardships, lost good
portion of their live stock there
were many quarrels among them,
and one man was killed, but they
finally found the Truckee river and
proceeded up the river to about
where Truckec now stands, and
leaving the river went on to the
shores of Bonner Lake. BY this
time it was October, and it was
already showing. Surveying par
ties sent forward could find no
pass through which it was possible
to press on, and it continued to
snow Then all the remaining
oxen were killed and buried for
preservation in the snow and the
remaining food gathered together
and the coma put on limited
ratios. In February a woman in
California had dream, and in
the morning told her husband of
it, describing the place by a lake :;
described the form of the lake, told
him that many had died, and that
those remaining were living upon
the remains of the dead. The hus-
band, who was mountaineer, rec
ognized the lake by the description,
and the scenery around it and be-
cause of that and because of the in
sistence of the wife that she had
seen the awful spectacle, he organ
lied relief party, and knowing the
passes, he started out to find the
dying and the dead. When he found
the company, forty-three had died
and the condition Of the rest was
as between life and death. They
were rescued and the story was
often told in the early days of Cal
ifornia, but it is referred to less
and less often now, and soon il
will become merely a legend which
few will believe. ~ Goodwin's
Weekly.
