DEAD IN
ERIE TUNNEL DISASTER
Explosion in Water Works Tunnel
From Cleveland to Lake
Erie Entraps Men

AS a result of an explosion of gas
in the tunnel from Cleveland into
Lake Erie, which rs to furnish the
city with pure water, IL men are
entombed and their lives despaired
of, while 10 men have succumbed
to the deadly fumes Of gas in trying
to rescue the trapped workmen.
Immediately after the explosion
two parties sought to enter the tunnel
to bring out the men who were
caught inside, but without any gas
helmets they themselves were quickly
overcome and of the 20 rescuers 10
died before they could be brought
out by later relief parties working
with safety helmets. Late in the
afternoon the authorities forbade
further attempts to enter the tunnel
because Of the high expl0siveness of
the gas and the IL men known to
be still inside are without much hope
of life. An attempt to pump out the
poisonous fumes is in progress.
Four Investigations, federal, state,
county and city will be made to de-
ltermine the cause of the explosion.

THOMAS

Otis Olcorn, who has been in
Thomas helping his parents thru
their recent sickness has returned to
Butte, Montana.
Peter Bidegan and Lewis Pere,
wealthy sheep men, spent the twenty
fourth at Thomas as guests of Isaac
and Paul H., Alfred and family. They
arranged with l. H. Alfred to act as
their agent in the purchase of about
5000 tons of hay and 600 to 500
acres of beet top pasture. They de-
sire to establish Landing quarters in
u vicinity and come here annually
to purchase hay and winter their
stock. They are liberal buyers and
their business Is good for the COM
munity. Mr.. Alfred is to make SUBJ
stantial cash advances to farmers for
the hay and beet pasture.
The program on the twenty-fourth
was carried out with a careful detail
that was good to see. The pioneer
parade of children was simply splen-
did, thanks to the ~tireless efforts of
the women who devoted their time
to the drilling and coaching before
hand. The wrestling matches were
especially good; McMurdy took back
from Thompson the honors lost on
July 4. Lafette Rich won the first
contest. The band boys should be
encouraged in their support of home
entertainment. They refused a con-
siderable purse that was offered them
to go to Sterling and furnished music
at home for nothing. Efforts will be
made to create a fund to buy them
music and equipment. A number of
cars toured thru the neighboring
communities looking over the crops
and the sugar company's beet fields.
The community has asked the
writer to tender thanks to the Black
foot papers for the friendly publicity
given to our Pioneer day celebration.
James E. Good drove out to the
celebration at Thomas on Pioneer
day. There were a number of Black
foot folk out to enjoy the program.
Mrs. Paul H. Alfred has two cows,
one only two years old, the milk
from which is sufficient to produce

INTERESTING sTORYsO
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST

Miles Cannon's tale of Waiilatpu.
an early mission in Oregon of Its
founding and the massacre which de-
stroyed 1t, contains very much that
is intensely interesting. Descriptions
of the brave men and women who
came out as the first pioneers are al
ways commanding of the attention
of westerners, and especially those
who live in the very path of the once
winding caravans of wagons.
The story centers about the ex-
perience of Mrs. Narcissa Whitman,
the first white woman, to look upon
the Columbia river, having crossed
the great plains and intervening
mountains by wagon and horse. She
is shown to be a fine strong charac-
ter, refined, devout and brave. At
Waiilatpu, where her husband, DR..
Whitman, established his mission, she
soon had developed a refuge school
for all who could come; whites who
went on long trips left their child
rem, in her care, and Indians allowed
their youngsters to attend.
The overland trip across Idaho is
told with plenty of life and with
many curious incidents. 1t seems
hard to realize that all this took
place only 100 years ago. What was
once so formidable an expanse of ter
ritory has become almost entirely
tanned the old trails are studied with
modern towns and railways.
The book is ITO pages, illustrated
with photographs of scenes connect
with the story and of some of the
surviving pipneers. AS a source book
it will be appreciated by all students
of early times in the northwest and
those whose forebears helped hew out
the paths for what has followed will
ind much that concerns their family
trees. In style it has rather the
of a historical catalog, a
chronicling of events &C.
cording to best authorities. All west
erners ought to know about the be-
binnings of the wonderful develop
ment that is o going on; those who
now help forward the work should
become acquainted thru reading with
those who started it. There is much
Of this very useful information in the
book, told in a readable way, and
evidently treating all sides of the
many controversies about the incl
dents with fairness. 1t is worth any
PERSONS time to read "Waiilatpu,
Its Rise and FALL" and it will not
fail to- impress him with the heroism
a race of pioneers now almost dis
appeared.
