came to pretty swift rifle and a
short distance below it was another
one. They stopped the boat, landed
and going down the bank little way,
decided it would be safest to land the
boat after passing the first rifle. En-
barking again, they passed it, but In
the meantime drift had come down,
forcing them precipltately into the sec
ond rifle Water poured into the boat
and it upset Both OF them clung to
it for half an hour, Perry at the stern
or small end and Hurd at the other.
The water was ice-cold and Perry fl

shore. He was caught in an eddy and
went under twice and when he got out,
too weak to stand, he was more dead
than alive He managed to take a
glance at the stream and saw Hurd
still clinging to the boat. There was
sharp bend in the stream where a
large amount of drift had accumulated,
and Perry saw his companion and his
boat go into that drift and that was
the last time he saw him, dead or alive.
THE river was $50 feet wide at this
point. swift and deep Perry found
two cottonwood logs and paddle
which had drifted ashore. and with
these crossed the river He had spent

our search another day, but to no
avail. Returning to camp we took sup
plies for ten days and searched fifty
miles down the river but found no
trace. Game was plentiful in this re-
glon. We saw moose every day and
had more fresh meat than we could
use.

APPLAUSE: IT'S USE AND ABUSE.

the conclusion that even today, il

moment. There has been no brach

This Is all wrong. Auditors should
have the courage of their sentiments,
and musicians should insist on can

sentiments. Applause should mean
something, and should be encouraged
only when II means something.
Moreover 1t should come at the end

is music which is best approved by
eloquent silence. Tragedy, pathos,
