Woman Lost in the Mountains

From Sunday noon until Tuesday
morning Mrs. George N. Hollister. of
Blueslide, was lost in the mountains
near their home. while searching parties
of neighbors and friends sought in all
directions for the missing woman. At
last the attention OF the searchers was
attracted by the faithful dog that had
accompanied his mistress and remained
by her side during the trying ordeal.
Mrs. Hollister left the home Sunday
for walk and evidently strayed short
distance from the trail and lost her
bearings. When found nearly all the
clothing had been stripped from her
body from being caught in the brush as
she vainly searched for the trail that
would lead her home. Her husband
was confined to his home the past six
weeks by broken ankle and was un-
able to join In the search.
Mrs. Hollister 10 about "a years old
and has not been in robust health for
some time. When found she was un-
conscious and very weak, 80 that recoy-
cry from the exposure was problemati-
cal. Several relatives from Missoula,
Mont, were summoned and their anx-
ious inquiries when the train reached
Newport Tuesday evening brought them
the good news that the missing woman
had been found. Mrs. Hollister and
husband, accompanied by physician,
were taken to Spokane for treatment
Wednesday afternoon.

though engineers differ somewhat
as to the thickness of the concrete
layer, none would use more than
two feet. IN THE NEW RESER-
VOIR RECENTLY COMPLETED
IN SEATTLE THE CONCRETE is
BUT EIGHT INCHES THICK.
In the solid concrete reservoirs
the walls and bottom are at right
angles to each other, but in dirt

gently upwards at about fifty feet
from the walls, making a shape
almost like a shallow basin. At

ings by candidates, if they want to
make the race for county or legis-
lative offices on the republican or
democratic tickets. The socialists,
however. will have until September
IS to bring out their candidates,
who will be named at a county con-
vention to be held on the day of the
primary. This is because of the
primary law. which places the third
party movement at a serious disad-
vantage by crowding it out of the
benefits of the primaries, unless the
party at a preceding general cleo
ton cast 10 per cent of the total
vote.
By the way the filings have been
coming forward in the last few days
it begins to appear that there will
be a good field of candidates to
pick from in the end. particularly
for the legislature. There seems to
be a spirited fight for coroner. for
which about five have alread. filed.
An effort is being made today to
induce all of the democrats named
at the informal county convention
yesterday to file their declarations
today or tomorrow. 1t is one thing

the candidates are at a. serious dis
advantage politically, to begin

good of the cause.
DR.. George A. Downs. who filed
his declaration for coroner yester-
day, is being boosted by his friends,
who say that he is free from any
corporation connections and that he
will give the victims of fatal acct
dents involving corporations a
square deal. To the workingmen

Importance.

ton is being induced to make the
race on the democratic county
ticket against Zach Stewart for

DR.. w. L. Hall, S1925 Oneida
place, former president of the board
of health, will make the race for
the legislature in the Fifth district.
He is a progressive republican, for
Poindexter, but will support the
party choice. DR.. Halls platform
has the proper ring. He favors the
election of United States senators
by the direct vote of the people, the
initiative and the refendum, more
stringent divorce laws, conservation
of the states resources, a juvenile
Judge in cities like Spokane, with
the good of the young at heart.
