During the disaster the good hnmor

cans astonishcd the world Now, in
the long tug Of disposing of the
ashes and rebuilding the city, this
good humor never deserts them, and
they are as confident as though they
were beginning city for the first
time. There Is inspiration in mum.

spirit of brotherhood that has not
deserted them although 1t is not as
marked AZ 1t was during times of
danger. The love of good cheer in
the way OF eating, drinking and lis.
tening to music Is as strong as ever.
The climax is continual tonic, and
invites to hard work. The very size
of their disaster seems TO nerve the
San Franclscars to hasten the recon.
struction of the new city. They come
very near to boasting when they show
their ruins, and some OF them display

tory by comparing their disaster with
the fate of other cities that have per.
ished by earthquake and fire, and
risen again. According to these men,
who cite history while making It,
the only bonfire that excelled San
Francisco's was that which con.
sumed Rome in Nero's time. The
great fires of London, Boston. Chi.
cago and Baltimore were mere hints
of what n real conilagretion can do
So say these dusty, smiling, tiisless
San Franciscans, who revel in the
advertising that their city has OBJ
tanned. Their belief In the speedy
reconstruction of the city is absolute
and they are backing their belief with
money ind energy that belks a

and the old wages were restored. But
the owners of buildings which were
nearing completion at the time Of the
disaster are fevorish in their anxiety
to complete their buildings and obtain
famine rentals, and their tactics in
raising the wages of workingmen

that with the buildings levelcd to

Drowned I'm the Snake.

Last Sunday Thomas Ayers left the
home of Lee Vader, intending to cross
Snake river about mile and hair
below the upper Salmon Falls, to the
north side of the river, to the Dila-
tush ranch. About an hour afterward
Mrs Edward Dilatush telephoned TO
know where he was. Roy Vader Inn
mediately went to the crossing ana
found the boat lodged right side up
out in the river, about a mile below.
The alarm was given and a search
party was organized, but the body has
not been recovered. The oars, one
of them broken. washed ashore about
$50 feet below the crossing on the
south side, and the hat was found
about two miles below.
Mr.. Ayers was n nephew of the d.
latush brothers. He was 23 years OF
age and leaves wife and two chill
dren. He with his family, and father
and brother came to Idaho from Ohio

Oral. the S-year-old son of James
venable, who is bartender at August
Buchler's saloon, met with a serious
accident about 1870 yesterday after
noon from which he may lose his life,
though the doctors express hope for
his recovery. The little fellow was
playing on top OF some box cars in
the yards when he fell off and struck
some rocks, fracturing his skull at
the back of the head and breaking
his right leg below the knee. Drs.
Ferguson & Reuter- were called and
took him to the hospital where 1t was
necessary to trephine the skull. AL
though his injuries are very serious,
his condition seems to be favorable
today.-The Dalles Chronicle.
