REPRESENTATIVES, OF U. 8. EN-
GINEERS ON THE WORK
TO DETERMINE FLOW.
ALS00N UPPER SNAKE RIVER
Believe Step Is Preliminary Move in
Construction of Series Of Dams
to Make River Navigable.

ii. X. Donnelly and G.. Stubblefield,
of the U. s. engineer s office at Port
land, are in the city engaged in taking
the measurements of the Snake river.
Soundings were yesterday made at the
Snake river bridge to determine the
rivers flow and the work will be con-
tisued up the river as far as Pittsburg
Landing. Messrs. Donnelly and Stub.
blefield will make an overland trip
from Pittsburg Landing to Whitebird
to determine the altitude of the divide
between the rivers.
1t is learned the visit of the engi-
neers to the Snake river at this time
also has to deal with the investiga.
tion of the dam sites that have been
recommended to make the river nav
igable at all seasons of the year for
vessels of deeper draught than now
used in water transportation. The
construction of dams to overcome the
rapids and deepen the flow has been
taken up for the Snake river, due to
early completion Of the government
canal at Cello. Until the canal work
was well advanced, the government
recommended the deepening of the
channel at the rapids by the construc-
tion of wind-dams and the widening
Of the channel by the removal of OBJ
structions and the blasting away of the
bedrock. This improvement has been
prosecuted by the government boats FOR
many years and has provided suitable
channel for the navigation of steamers
of three-foot draught except at the ex-
treme low stages Of water.
During the past two years the gov
ernment engineers have been engaged
in gathering data relative to the FEAST
bility Of dam construction and con-
siderable attention has been given
to this matter by the officials directly
in charge of the river Improvement
work. It is believed the visit Of
Messrs. Donnelly and Stubblefield at
this time is to further investigate the
dam construction projects, and that
the engineers plan upon an early in
auguration of such Improvement to give
the interior country the benefits possi-
BILE from the opening Of the Panama
canal and the completion of the big
project at Celilo.-Lewiston Tribune.

Mrs. NJ. A. Parr, who for years has
been a most respected nd loved pioneer
of this county, passed away late We'd
nesday morning. The deceased, who
has conducted hotel in the Elk camp

the noblest character, always willing
to do her part to alleviate the grief and
sufferings of those who with her were
developing a new country for more
fortunate prosperity. Besides the hotel
property, she is interested in several
mining properties of more than average
richness and has been one of the few

lost hope in the camp. She is survived

While one Of the pair kept him covered
the other went through his pockets and
took what money he had, three twenty
dollar bills and some silver. They over
looked several dollars he had in a vest
pocket and did not take a check which
was in the purse.
According to the description given by
the victim, the holdups were of dark
complexion, heavy set and middle age.
As soon as the robbers disappeared the

tempts at forward passes were not as
successful as in the Lewiston game.
The loss of Long at center was keenly
felt by his team mates.
For the All-Stars, Smith was the
star and his ability to get through the
II. 8. line was commendable, Harris did
some good work on defense as did also
Branscombe and Edwards. For the H.
s.. Gilbert. Leonard and Sherwin did
good work.
The receipts of the game went to the
H. 8. Atheletic Fund and they were
enough to meet all expenses during the
football season. This game ends the
football season for Grangeville unless
game is arranged with Lewiston dur
ing the stock show week.

TOWN BOYS MAKE GREAT SHOW
ING BUT ARE DEFEATED BY A
SCORE OF 8 TO 6.

The high school boys playing against
team composed Of young men around
town were able to defeat their oppon-
ents by margin of two points, the
score being 8 to s. The Al-Stars con.
tend that the score was tie, but when
the matter is thoroughly investigated
it will be found that the H. 8. bows
were entitled to the touchback in the
second quarter, when Gilbert caught a
forward pass back of the goal posts.
The All-stars put up good game

time that they had to practice, although
they were weak in team work, they

SHUTDOWN FOR TWO DAYS.

The local power company had to shut
down Sunday and Monday of this week,
resulting in more or less Inconvenience.
However, the company did the best it
could and one should not overlook the
fact that when there is no "juiceo
there is no revenue either, and the loss
to the operators of the plant is very
heavy when you add to the loss of
revenue the cost of making the repairs.
The penstock broke and as result the
power house was flooded. After the
necessary repairs were made it required
some time to dry out the generators.

H. H.S.NUS|CAL SHOW
AMPLY JUSTIFIED
EXPECTATION
A NAUTICAL KNOT" GIVEN BY
H. 8. AND LOCAL TALENT
TREAT TO MUSIC LOVERS.
GREETED BY LARGE AUDIENCE
Parts Well Taken and Direction of Miss
Gwinn Of the High School Faculty
Deserves Large Share of Credit.

That people living in places seldom
visited by musical shows need not be
deprived of the pleasure Of witnessing
first-class performances of this kind
was conclusively demonstrated last
Tuesday evening when the pleasing,
tuneful operetta "a Nautical Knot"
was SO ably presented by local talent at
the high school auditorium.
Local talent plays have always been
we'll attended here and what was per-
haps the largest audience ever assembl-
ed in the high school building was en-
thusiastic in its enjoyment and ap-
proval of one of the finest, most finish
ed musical entertainments ever given
in this city.
The play itself GA Nautical Knot -
is delightful combination of mirth and
music with just enough of romance and
plot to make it interesting. Rarely
have our music lovers been given such a
treat. There were sailors bold and
pretty lasses, beautiful bellies and gay,
rakish artists. The various solos were
all pleasing and the choruses were rem
dered with vim deserving of the ap-
plause received. In addition to all this
display and the tunefulness of the
whole there was combination of comic
situations which was irresistible. If
music and laughter are good for the
soul then those who were present must
have been wonderfully stimulated.
The scene of the play is the quay
at Barnstapoole and the following is a
synopsis as taken from the program:
Act /.
Julia, naughty belle of Barnstapoole,
is as proud as she is beautiful. AL
the sailor lads are in love with her,
but she scorns them all. Barnabas
Lee, q wandering artist, falls in love
with Julia, who returns his affection.
The sailor lads plan to kidnap Barna'
has, stow him aboard the "Bounding
Billowo and carry him to sea. They
are successful in their scheme and the
town folks returning from seeing the
ship sail, announce to Julia that Bar
nabas was on board.

great comfort to YOU when they grow

I'm sorry hat I didn't have them. But
since that child has been sick I've

gether too much agony"
That child" TO which my childless
neighbor referred was the youngest
baby of the little mother across the
way. He was taken suddenly and seri-
ously i'll just before Christmas. when
his mother and father were ecstati.
cally happy in preparing n wonderful
Christmas tree for the little brood.
And his illness plunged them from q
shining height OF happiness into a
depth of misery that made one sick
at heart to contemplate. even from
the safe distance of ones own Christ
mas happiness.
The little mother across the way
has three babies, but she once lost
one, and now whenever sickness
shows its ugly head in the home she
is tortured by an agony OF anxiety
compared with which the inquisition
would be a form of amusement.
My childless neighbor had just been
