Drowning For "Copy.""

browning FOR copy
One Of the most amusing stories of
drowning and resuscitatio is that of
8 New York reporter for a sensational
paper. who wanted the experience for
a story. She could not swim, but had
plezty OF nerve. The life saver ac-
commodatlngly accompanied her, with
the inevitable photographer When a
sufficiently deep place had been reach
ed the young lady jumped off and had
all the experience for which she had
bargained. The life saver let her 90
down the third time although the
photographer left of taking pictures
to beg and plead that the "angel in
oilskfns" get into action. The angel
was very deliberate, however, evident
ly wanting the reporter TO get all the
experience there was in IL. so that she
could write good story. After she
had disappeared the third time he
saved her as per contract, although
1t required about twenty minutes to
bring her back to consciousness. This
sounds Ike rather grewsome humor.
but not more so than most of these
realistic yarns of the yellow" variety.
The young reporter wrote her story of
how 10 feels to drown. but 1t is safe 10
say she never again took the same risk
in getting copy"
The experience Of the life savers
would make many books. Indeed.
they already have made several per
fectly good reports, and If anybody Is
looking for real thrills In a public
document l advise him TO write 10 the
treasury department. Washington, and
ask for n copy Of the annual report Of
the United States life saving service.
The superintendent Of the service Is
Sumner I. KimbaIl. and the senior cap
tain is Frank III. Newcomb. who took
a medal for saving not only several
lives, but for rescuing the Winslow
during a particularly hot engagement
IN the Spanish-Amerfcan war For
that action Captain Newcomb was yot-
ed a congressional medal, the only
one Of the kind given during the war.

When a wreck or a vessel in dis
tress is discovered the first step is
usually to get a line TO her, which IS
done in most cases by firing a ball
across her. To this ball Is attached a
light line and to this heavier line,
which is then pulled on board. If the

storm was too fierce TO get ii aboard

there were an italian captain and crew

At the Bathing Beaches.

It is not only in times OF wreck and
storm that the life savers find oppor-
tunities TO carry on their work of res
cue. however. There IS the task Of
saving imprudent bathers and OF resus-
cita ting the drowning. James Don
nelly, who for many years has been
life saver at Manhattan Beach, New
York city, once told a writer for Les
lies Weekly all about this phase Of ii.
Life saving Is not nearly so danger
Gus as it is generally supposed TO be-"
said Donnelly- AT least, Ike any
thing else. it's not dangerous when you
know how. But life saving has been
dwelt upon and exa ggerated by the IN
experienced until nowadays the aver
age person IS afraid to try. and very
few really understand what measures
should be taken TO rescue a person
who has been taken with crsmp or is
caught with the tide

increase in accidents to motor craft
There were 1SS more such accidents in
1910 than in the preceding year. The
conclusion is that more motor craft
are in use and not that the relative
number Of mishaps per vessel is on
the increase. The number of pleasure
boats IS going up by leaps and bounds,
just as is the number of automobiles
and, in a more literal sense. the num-
Der Of aoroplanes. After a few years

Returning TO the water, the feats

IDAHO REACHES MAJORITY

The first of this week Idaho
came into her majority and the
Spokesman Review Comment
ing on the same says:
Congratulation to Idaho, and
hats off to "The eGm of the
Mountainsl'
This baby, as measured in age
by the life of the nation and the
centuries since English colonial
ton in America began, is one
of the heartiest and most prom
ising among Uncle Sans brood
of eagles.
Only 81 years have passed
away since the infant state, which
is as big as New England, Mary
land and Delaware together, en-
tered the family of full-grown
American commonwealth on July
1890. But in all material ele
ments of prosperity it has been
a striking example of the swift
development of the Pacific north
west, and especially of the Inland
Empire.
Napoleon the Great said of the
word impossible: Don 4
name that beast of a word to
mel There are no impossibilities. ;
There are many Napoleons OF
development among the settlers
and pioneers of Idaho. Failure
and impossibility are not in theil
vocabulary. Their indomitablt
energy, enterprise and optimism
are among the human causes that
have taken advantage of the SUI
Iperior natural resources to push
Idaho up to high standing
among younger states.
Take, for example, the reclaim
alton of arid land through irriga
ton. The national government
has promoted gigantic system o.
reclamation. Private parties ar,
working out other projects o.
irrigation. The two have SCI
a pace for other states. Even
tually the $4,000 square miles o.
the state will be covered with 4,
net of irrigation that will exceed
what was done in ancient Egypt
and Mesopotamia.
| But the best asset in Idaho I
estate is the advance in education
and the lifting of the standard,
of citizenship. Such things al
these make the real greatness o.
a commonwealth and its tru,
worth. The progress made OF
these levels of life is the strong
est reason for believing that tn,
advance of Idaho in the future
will go on at an even more rapid
rate than in the past.

1.-THE statute in question pro-
vides in substance that if sheep

1.-THE two mile limit law is a
drastic measure, and its provi-
sions are such that if the defend

WEDDING BELLS.

Frazier, Idaho, July 3, 1911.
A wedding of more than aver
age interest took place here Sun
day, July 2, at high noon, at the
residence of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. James Urquhart,
when their daughter, Miss Mary,
a fine young lady of 20 years of
age, became the wife of Chester
w. Groves, of Orofino, county
seat of the new county of Clear
water. Relatives and a few i'm
mediate friends only were pres
ent. AS they are both of modest,
unassuming disposition they pre-
ferred not to appear before a
large company and especially so
as the ring ceremony was used.
A fine dinner was enjoyed by
all present, and the presents were
numerous and some of high val
ue, more so than usual. 1t was
a very pleasant occasion, social
visit Of two hours or so followed
the repast and all departed feel
ing that all was well. Mr.. Grove
taught three successive and sue
cessfuI terms of school in the
Cottonwood district, next adjoin-
ing this, closing a few weeks
ago. Miss Urquhart has also
taught a number of terms. They
are both prominent teachers in
this section and have been for "a
number of years. They are good,
sensible, moral young people, as
well as intellectual and no doubt
they well be successful and hap
Ply throughout life. Mr.. Groves
is not to teach, at least for some
time again, but as we are inform
ed is to have an official position
in the organization of the new
county, though he was too mod
est to tell us so himself. We have
not heard of the honey moon trip
but as they are so businesslike
they may not think best to so
use their time and means.

BEAR ATTACKS
SHEEP TENDER
Rends His Clothing and
Flesh and Leaves Him
Unconscious.

Last Friday night, about eleven
o clock, Joe Lucas who was at
tending one of Harry Pence s
sheep camps out near Rock Flat
was awakened by the stampeding
sheep, and hastily pulling on his
pants and pair of rubbers, rush
ed out into the dark to see what
the commotion was, when he land
ed fair up against big brown
bear, with a couple of cubs. He
was unarmed, but he fought for
his life and he fought her the hes
he could, while his two dogs put
the two cubs to flight.
The mother bear finally left
the young man to look after her
young and Lucas, supposing she
had gone, started to round up his
frightened charges, only to be
unexpectedly attacked again.
This time he was badly scratched
about the head, face and breast
He was felled to the ground and,
almost exhausted, fought as best
he could. He endeavored to
protect his eyes and was badly
mangled about the stomach and
abdomen. The bear again left
her victim who, torn and bleed
ing attempted to crawl to his
tent. The Infatuated animal
again returned to the attack and
when she left her victim was
helpless and unconscious.
How he escaped from the I'M
equal fight with his remnant of
life and flesh, is mystery to all,
for the calf and thigh of his right
leg are about all gone, his right
side was ripped open to the in
testine, his right breast horribly
mangled, his scalp from near the
forehead to back of head loosened
the muscle and flesh of left arm
chewed and torn, his left wrist
broken, and he was scratched all
over, Joe can better be describ-
ed by the expression, shot-all-
t'ell''. He was found Is hours
after his struggle at the main
camp, a quarter of a mile away
from the scene of the fight which
act probably may save his life
as he would not have been found
Mr.. Pence had the wounded mar
removed to Meadows and proper
| ly cared for. He is reported as
getting along splendidly under
DIR. Martins careful nursing
