contained all my maps and over 800
drawings and all the information
had collected on the trip. were tied up
in u canvas bag with corlSs around 1t,
and as soon as l could get my head
out Of the water l yelled to the boys
to save it. They ran down the rocky
shore for fourteen miles and finally res
cued 1t by plunging into the water time
and time again and at length tying two
logs together with the sashes they
wore around their waists and polling
out to the bag.
The canoe upset about O'clock.

until 4 o'clock in the afternoon and the
other not until 6. l was afraid until
the first got back that l had lost the
whole fruit of the expedition and that

rience, he says: Doctors got badly
mixed up over me; one said heart
disease; two called it kidney trouble;
the fourth blood poison, and the
fifth stomach and liver trouble; but
none of them helped me; so my wife
advised trying Electric Bitters, which
are restoring me to perfect health.
One bottle did me more good than
all the five doctors prescribed"

The Jasper news., 1908-10-08

A long felt want will be filled within
the next week, which will witness the
completion Of siS-foot cement walk
along the north side OF Grand avenue,
leading from the Laughead lumber yard
to the depot. Tht need Of a good walk
at this point has long been recognized
by the city council but the treasury has
been to low to pay for the work. Ac-
cordingly u petition was circulated and
the necessary amount raised among the
merchants of the city, and the Mo.
Pacific d mated the gravel, thereby re-
ducing the cost greatly. A 3 foot cross
ing will be put in at First street, and at
the west end the walk will be built
right up to the steel rails, so that nc
sort Of weather can make it bad under
foot, as it is on the south side in rainy
weather.
