A Cantilever Dam

Mr., T. E. Rolf new resident OF
Blackfoot, presented to the council
a design of hollow dam made of
reinforced concrete, buflt like the
leaning tower" so that the weight
holds the dam in place. A saving of
35 to 40 per cent is made in cost
of construction as compared with
the ordinary type of construction. He
suggested the use of this principle If
they build lighting plant. Mr.. Rolf
stated that he was the inventor and
patentee of the cantilever dam and
has one of them doing service. Mr..
Rolf comes from Richfield, N. Y, and
is now living at the Walburn Room

INDIAN BOY
HADHISF0OT
AMPUTATED
Found on the Desert Near
Sweet Sage, Barefooted
Hungry, Exhausted

(By Little Lost River Correspondent
We learn that one of the Indian
boys found in the cedars near Sweet
Sage short time ago, has had foot
amputated as a result of being frozen
on that daring trip. What those
boys suffered we can scarcely imag-
inc. The had come across the desert
from Idaho Falls afoot and alone
through zero weather, without food
nor sufficient clothes. At the sinks
of the Big Lost, they took refuge in
a hay stack, belonging to S. H. Nc
Lean. They built fire nearby and
exhausted, fell asleep, having first
taken off their shoes. In some man
ner the stack caught fire, burned
their shoes and came very near burn
ing them also. They were greatly
frightened, but cold, hungry, and
barefoot they made their way north
ward for several miles. They came
to a sheep wagon, but the herder
without giving them anything to eat
shut the door in their face. They
wandered on down east of Sweet Sage
where some trappers found them and
gave them something to eat. They
started again for the Salmon river
country, where their people live, but
, were found little later by W. B.
Bishop and Charley Packard, to
which accidental discovery they un-
doubtedly owe their lives. The mer-
curry registered ia degrees below
zero at Sweet Sage, that morning and
the boys would certainly have per-
ished in another night.
They were taken to the Packard
home where they were well cared for
and found to be exceedingly bright
and well educated boys. They talk
ed but little, but it was learned that
they were On their way home having
run away from the Ft. Hall school.
They were brave boys and anyone
who has ever been confined in school
against their wishes, while all their
natural instincts were clamoring for
freedom or have ever had that terri
BILE feeling of homesickness, can read
lily sympathize with the boys in their
desparat e attempt to reach home
and kindred.
