the scene Of the suspected fatality.
In short time this party found
evidencewhich confirmed the worst.
fears. Against the point Of rushes'
where the boys had intended to;
hunt they found the decoys, folded
and showing no signs Of having
been used. Not far distant, Will
Olson later discovered the boat
capsized, and stuck into the shore
mud head first, where it had evil
dently been driven by the east and
southerly winds. Both oars were
found in this vicinity.
This might not have been con-
elusive had Mr.. Kelley IS cap not
been found in the water near the
boat. Later in the day the cap
worn BY Mr.. johnson was picked
up in the same section Of the lake.
It is believed that the boat must
have capsized, due to an accident
Of some kind. Clear Lake is about
five to six feet deep in most
places, and filled with wild celery
and moss which this season grows
to within about a foot Of the s,lr-
.face. With ruhher boots and hunt
ing clothes on, the boys would.
have been unable to swim in the
event of being thrown into the

The entire city has been stricken:
with grief ever since the terrible.
accident occurred. A mass meet
ing Of citizens was called at the
city hall last Monday evening and
an organization was perfected
for a systematic search for the
bodies Alderman G.. II. Lester.
was made chairman Of the meeting
and Geo. B. Elliott was elected
secretary to receive contributions:
for bearing the necessary expenses
of the searchers. The sum Of $55,
was collected at the meeting and.
the committee is still in need Of
more funds to carry on the work.
Officer Frank Elkins was placed in
charge Of the searching party and
plans were formulated for search
ing every foot Of the lake until
the bodies are covered. A heavy
south wind has been blowing al
most every day since the accident
and it was impossible for the
searching party to venture onto
the lake. 3i5
There is considerable doubt felt
by many people as to whether
the bodies will ever be found in
this lake on account Of the late
mess Of the season as the. lake is
about due to freeze up for the
winter. The thick growth Of veg
citation in the bottom of the lake
makes it impossible to use grap-
|pling hooks in hunting for the
bodies and the only thing that can
be done is for the men to row
around in boats and feel around
with fish poles until they strike
the bodies. s:5
The poor mothers Of the unfor-
tunate victims and the sorrowingi
young wife of Mr.. johnson, who
has Just undergone q surgical oper-
alton, are prostrated with grief.

nurse in town who dressed his feet,
and no doubt was the means of saw
ing those useful members if not his
life.
Calvert was without funds, so he
was sent to Salmon and placed under
the care of County Physician Whit
well. After his feet were properly
attended to he was sent to the
Springs at the expense of the county.
The writer was in the physicians
office at the time his feet were dressed.
After he was discharged as cured
Mr.. Stone secured him a position as
cook at one of the railroad camps.
Mr.. Stone had almost forgotten the
circumstances when a man entered
his store at the Junction telling him
his name was Calvert and had saved
enough money from his earnings to
reimburse the county for his expens-
es, and handed the commissioner ev-
cry cent the county was out, which
amounted to $82. Of course it was
understood that this man Calvert was
only under a moral obligation to re-
imburse the county for this amount.
Mr.. Stone states that the man
could not have been better pleased
if some one had paid him this
amount in place of wiping out an OBJ
legation against him which the
county could not have collected.
While the surrounding conditions
might have been considered against
him when he first came to Salmon,
yet he had nothing to gain by paying
back to the county the cost of his liv-
ing while he was sick, but that inbred
honesty-an honesty so lofty and high
that his conscience would not permit
him to repudiate debt.

MONEY IN BUTTERFLIEs.

If man in need of money will but
go to the beautiful, civilized and well
settled island of Jamaica, British West
Indies, and catch butterflies, it seems
as if he might get along. There is
one variety there, a big handsme fell
low known to science as Papilio hon.
erus, for which $50 each is offered,
right on the spot. There are many
other tropical butterflies for which
eager buyers in many parts of the
world will pay prices ranging from
a few cents to few hundred dollars
each. Nor need the man who seeks
wealth with a butterfly net confine
his seeking to the West Indies. Down
in Central America, is a finer field

for his cultivation. If he will go into
South America he will do as we'll,
probably better, for butterflies of ex-
traordinary beauty of iridescent col
oring abound there. One family of
South American butterflies, the Nor
phos, having wing expance of
about six inches from tip to tip with
a coloring of a wonderful, iridescent,
metallic blue above with exquisite owl
like eye spots beneath, are eagerly
sought by collectors, not only for mu-
seums, but also for ornaments. Even

PRACTICAL HONESTY.
The Salmon City Recorder has the
following interesting story of practi-
cal honesty as it aptly heads the ar
ticle:
During the severest weather last
winter a man by the name of George
Calvert attempted to cross the main
range between Montana and Idaho,
Gibbonsville being his objective
point. Owing to the deep SHOWS in
the mountains he lost his bearings
and became lost. In his wanderings
his condition became worse by fall
ing into creek. He managed to get
into Gibbonsville, although in a con-
dition almost perishing with the cold.
When he entered the hotel it was
found that his socks and shoes were
frozen to his feet. AS soon as his
condition was ascertained there were
plenty of assistance offered. Fortu-
nately there was an experienced

lessly drew back.
An instant later there was a smack
of compounded kiss. AS tne cleo
trio lights went up, each man was
seen to be smiling complaisantly.

woman, but nobody kissed me.
Then the men suddenly glared at
each other, and flushed and looked

WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE THEM.

People who have been observing
the cement walks and noticing the
character OF the work done this
spring by Keith & White In the Nc
Donald addition, at Mr.. Bergman Is
residence and other places they have
laid walks, have not failed to notice
the shape and fine finish given to
their work. 1t has every appearance
of being the same as the pavements

from year to year without signs of
giving out
Two things are necessary in doing
cement work; having right material,
and knowing just how to use it,.
Keith & White have convinced the
most skeptical people that they UNI
derstand their work, and that their
guarantee is good. They hope to 60
on with a summers work here and
leave the city much better than they
found it. There may be delay in get
