at Annual Meeting.
T. e. CARSON IS COMMODORE
Association Members Hear Report from
Their Neighbors, the Reserves, Re-
aardins Quarters CT Latter.

The Island City Boating association
held the most largely attended meet
ing in its history last evening at the
library building, and officers for the
following year were elected, after
which financial measures and other
and discussed. T. e. Carson was again
made commodore of the club. The
matter of paying off the Indebtedness
of the club which was incurred in
building the club house at the harbor
received considerable discussion, and
a way was finally decided upon which
will probably clear it up all right. An
offer was made by one of the business
men of the city to assume the liability
of the club ON the condition that n
special assessment of 81 per member
be levied in the spring to pay back
the loan. The club voted to accept
this offer. Then in order that new
members who are added to the club
during the year help pay fair share
of the debt, it was decided to raise
the initiation fee from S to So.
What Reserves Are Doing.
During the course or the meeting
Lieutenant Commander S. r. Davis OF
the naval reserves and Commodore
Gosch of the Davenport Boat club
were called upon 10 tell what theil
respective organizations were planning
for the coming summer. Many of the
members learned for the first time OF
the large, commodious boat house
which the reserves have under course
of construction. This will be anchor

of the Grand Rapids franchise, which
was owned by Bert Annis of South
Bend. Annis had expressed desire
to sell the club to his manager, Angus

would not agree, thinking that the
proposition savored of syndicate ball.

Brotherdon of Ashtabula, Ohio, were
on their feet with offers to take the
club at the price. Brotherdon, how
ever, seemed to have the inside track,
and within an hour a deal had been
closed whereby the Ohioan was in sole
control of the much disputed fran
ehise. The deal was brought about
through the activity of F. r. Carson,
president of the league. Bobbie Low
probably will continue as manager of
the club, Brotherdon having made him
an offer.

WHITE FISH COMMIT SUICIDE
A Real Fish Story as Told BY "Gith, ;
Real Fisherman.

There are legions of fish stories, but
there is only one real fish story. 1t is
told by Postmaster Citizens and the
veracity of the tale is vouohed for by
him, aud him only. However, "Gith"
is deep in the lore of the fnny tribe
and when it comes to Turing the speck-
led beauty from bis native haunts in
the narrow confines of the creek, he
carries the banner. as attested by his
splendid catch of last Sunday. But
to the story:
Down somewhere near Cayuse sta
tion, Mr.. Citizens was strewing the
tanks of the stream with squaw fish,
suckers and chubs and now and then
was adding fine Rainbow trout to
an already fine collection. Finally his
attention was directed to a shallow
portion Of the stream. He beheld a
white fish. 15 inches in length. dart
head-on against rock. The fish
backed away and again rushed at the
rock at quicker speed. Again it re-
treated and the third time it came at
the rock at full speed, struck it fairly
and the force of the collision was SO
great that it was thrown out on the
river bank, where it lay for an instant
and then fell back into the water and
fioated off on its lack.
1t was clear case of suicide, and
whether the fish feared the post
masters prowess as an angler, or had
filled up on Woods angle worm bait,
is unknown.

A SHOCKING DEATH
James MOsgrove Instantly Killed i'm a
Runaway Saturday Near His
Home in Alberta.

Names Mosgroye met a shocking
| death near Nanton. Alberta, Saturday
afternoon. icing instantly killed when
thrown from his tuggy by runaway
team.
A telegram announcing the death
was all the information received here
until Wednesday, when letter came
giving the particulars.
Mr.. Mosgrove, in company with
Duncan Mcintyre, left Nanton for
home. Mr.. Mosgrove drove mile
out of his way to let Mr.. Mcintyre out
at the home of Johnny Mcintyre.
Proceeding on his way homeward,
that was the last seen of James Mos
grove alive. The team came tearing
home and his son .in-law. Felix Moran,
Immediately started over the road and
found him dead.
He had been thrown from the rig
and was doubtless killed instantly, for
on examination his neck was found to
te broken. He was powerful man
physically but was badly crippled thus
making it difficult for him to protect
himself in falling.
AT the time of his death James Mos
grove was aged 56 years, months
and 20 days. He was born in Ireland
and came to the United States many
years ago. He lived in Colorado before
coming to this state. For several years
he farmed on the reservation and re-
tired to engage in the mercantile bus
mess in this city at the time he and
his brothers. Matt and William, in
corporated the Athena Mercantile CON-
pany. Later he purchased large
body of wheat land near Nanton, AL
berta, since which time be- has resid-
ed there.
James Mosgrove was big man and
he bad Zig, warm heart. In his
quiet. inostentatious way he did many
a kind turn for his fellow man-deeds
that will ever be remembered by those
who we're benefited by them. He was

ship in Dolph Lodge, No. 80, of this

Besides brothers and sisters, he

atives and the funeral, conducted by

noon from the M. e. church.

A Thrilling Rescue.

The days of heroism are not over,
as is attested by the following thrill
ing story, told simply in dispatch
from Ohelan, Wash: A 12-year-old
boy while in rowboat on the Chelan
river, was capsized on the boom above
Woodin avenue bridge Sunday after
noun. The swift current carried him
to the dam few hundred feet below
the bridge where he climbed desper-
ately for five minutes to some drift.
Men on shore tried to reach him by
laying planks down. Asa Post started
to the boys rescue in rowboat, but
before assistance reached him he was
carried over the dam, seemingly to cer-
tan death. Post heroically shot his
boat over the dam, narrowly escaping
being swamped, and reaching the
drowning boy ID the edge of the rap
ids. He lifted him bodily into the boat
as he was in his last struggles. Post
regained the oars just in time to avoid
being carried against large rock and
the rapids and reached shore safely.
The boy soon recovered consci ciousnsss.
Prominent citizens who saw the thrill
ing rescue speak in high praise Of
Posts heroism and say be should be
awarded Carnegie medal. The river
is high, swift and dangerous.
