During a cloudburst south, of
town last Friday afternoon, a
mare and her colt, belonging to
J. w. Archibald were DROWNED,
as well as a colt belonging to
Frank Nichols. These animals
were grazing in two different
canyons and were caught in the
downpour before they could es-
cape. 1t is estimated that a foot
of hail and water fell during the
half-hour's duration of the cloud
burst. -Genesee News.
William A. Crow and William
Choate, two residents of the
Teakean country, were drowned
in the North Fork of the Clear
water near Ahsahka while bath
ing Sunday. The drowning was
witnessed by several persons who
could not render assistance and
the bodies were not recovered
until an hour after and were
found up stream from where
they disappeared, being carried
there by an under current.
Choate could not swim and got
beyond his depth. Crow went
to his assistance and both were
drowned. Choate was 23 years
old and single, while Crow was
about 80 years of age and leaves

Planned Daring Jail Break.

A Jail break planned by prison
ers confined in the county Jail at
Lewiston was narrowly averted
late last week by the jailer be-
coming suspicious that all was
not right and instituting a close
search. The search revealed the
fact that the steel screen over
the ventilator had been nearly
cut away and but for the discov-
cry in time a wholesale Jail de-
livery would have resulted. The
method used in cutting the screen
was most ingenious one. Com
mon wrapping twine had been
soaked in lard and then filled
with sharp quartz sand picked
from the brick walls of the Jail.
The strings were then twisted
tightly together and were used
as saw to cut away the steel
over the ventilator. But for the
fact that the prisoners were con-
fined in steel cell at night they
would have made their escape
before their actions aroused sus-
picion.
The prisoners charged with
felony offenses confined in the
section of the Jail where the de-
livery was attempted are: Bert
Frye, burglary, Idaho county;
Nathan Lott, Indian, burglary,
Idaho county; Fred Dory, horse
stealing, Grant county, Oregon;
Peter Mallick, assault with intent
to commit murder, Idaho county;
Harrison Jabeth. Indian, horse
stealing, Idaho county.

KOOSk|A DAM
TO Be BUILT
Eastern Company Says Work
Will Be Begun By The
First Of September.

Newaygo, Michigan, advices
say that construction of the big
dam in the Middle Fork at Koos-
kia will be commenced on Sep
tember l, and that one of the
objects of the company is to sup
ply electric power to Lewiston.
The power site was acquired two
years ago by Engineer w. J.
Bell, and while it has been known
the engineering details h a We
steadily been receiving attention
and land purchases made in the
vicinity of the site, the company
has declined to make any public
announcement. 1t was stated
that at the time the site was Sc
cured, the company would install
paper mills. The advices from
Michigan are contained in the
Newaygo Daily Republican and
are as follows:
"The Newaygo Engineer Co. ..
has moved in the magnificent
building constructed for its use.
The company is not yet settled,
machinery, tools and stock being
scattered all over, but as rapidly
as possible all are being put in
order, the work being delayed
somewhat by the large number
of orders for separators which
the company is trying to fill at
the same time. The working Or
ganization of the company is as
follows: w. J. Bell, president
and general manager; James o.
Bell, vice president; Louis F.
Eckard, secretary; W. A. An

resigned the superintendency of

HARVEST ON
IN EARNEST
Farmers Busy All Over Prairie
ana Many Machines at Work
urinding Out the Biggest Crop
Ever Grown Here.

Harvest is now on in full blast
all over Camas prairie and ma
chlnes are at work in almost
every field garnering perhaps the
richest harvest this rich section
mas ever produced. From Law
yer's canyon on the north to
Grangeville mountains on the
south, from Salmon river on the
west to the Clearwater on the
east, every farmer is busy in the
field and is calling for more labor
to come and help him take care
OF his monster crops of grain.
There is a bumper crop this
year and no mistake. The wealth
er conditions were ideal for max
ing it one and it has even sur
passed all expectations. And
added to the extra good yield,
the atraage is fully a third great
er than ever before. The wealth
er is again responsible for this
condition for it proved so timely
and agreeable last fall that the
farmers were able to plow and
plant much more land than usual.
Many of the farmers bound
their grain this year and by so
doing were able to get into the
field earlier than those who oper-
ated headers. In this way much
grain was cut and placed in the
shock during the past three weeks
and this is now being hauled
from the field to the threshers.
In other instances two headers
are cutting for a single thresher
and are kept busy to keep the
big grain eating machines sup
piled.
While the yield this year is
much larger than usual there are
also more threshers in the field
and the crop will perhaps be har-
vested as rapidly as in former
years. In this immediate locality
we call to mind the following
threshers: Frank Terhaar, E.
E. Hale, H. G. Eckermann, Fors-
mann & Uhling, J. E. Gentry,

Idaho VIII Exhibit.

ldaho VIII show from 100, ,0O(
to 200. 900 people a big exhibit Of
her products at the land show ir
st. Paul December IL to %.
Governor Hawley has received
word from the officers of the
Northwestern Developm e n I
League that the business inter.
ests of st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth have agreed to a deal
whereby this state will be fur
nished exhibit space without cost
at the land show. The show to
be given under the auspices of
the league is the only one in the
country which is not a private
enterprise and will be managed
In such a way as to furnish space
for official exhibits.
At cost of ten thousand dol
lars the business interests of the
three Minnesota cities h a v e
bought from the league $500
square feet of preferred space at
the show. Each of the seven
states will have a space of fifty
feet long and ten feet wide for
their official exhibit.
The governor has been asked
to confer with officers of the
league in this state and secure
the interest of those necessary to
put in an exhibit which will be a
credit to the state. Under this
plan no one community or city
will have an advantage over
others in the state. Any city,
county or land company desiring
to make an independent exhibit
will be able to secure a limited
amount of space near the state
exhibit on reasonable terms, but
it is the desire of the league of
ficers for this state that the best
possible exhibit be made in the
name of the state as it is from
such an exhibit that results are
to be obtained.
The seven states which are to
be thus represented are Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho, Montana,
North and South Dakota and
Minnesota. No other states will
have exhibits and Canadian ex-
hibits will be barred, tie whole
idea of the show being IAN ex-
position by the seven states for
the benefit of the seven states
alone"
Idaho officers of the League
are William M. Morgan, of Mos
COW, and c. H. Potts, of Coeur
d'Alene. Inquiries about the
Idaho exhibit should be addressed
to them while information about
the show and space therein should
be addressed to Will A. Camp
