REPAIRS BROKEN DIKES

The Milwaukee Lumber COM
pany has completed the repairs
on the dixie near the pole yard
where it was broken at the time
of the flood. After the piling
had been driven and sheeted up
a dredger was put at work filling
il dirt behind the planking and
at the same time a large crew of
men was employed hauling and
dumping in brush and grass to
prevent the dirt from washing
out.
The repairs have been made in
a very thorough manner and the
dixie at that point is much strong
er and better than it was before
it was broken. The work of
repairing the break opposite the
Noyen place has been started and
is being done in the same thor
ough manner.
Mr. Herrick is making all
preparations possible to pump
out the water as soon as the state
lot the river will permit. E. M.
Warren left Saturday to scour
the country for more pumps in
addition to those already secured
and it hoped that at least a half
dozen large steam pumps will be
available to put to work as soon
as the water in the river will per-
nit. This should be within a
few days if the river continues
to fall as it has for the past few

FRED DAVIS RETURNS
FROM EAST WITH BRIDE

Fred Davis returned Saturday
evening from Chicago, where he
went several months ago to take
a course in window trimming
and ADVERTISING. He surprised
friends by bringing back a bride
him. After finishing his course
he spent some time in travelling
through Kansas, Nebraska and
Texas, after which he returned to
Chicago where he was married
last Wednesday evening and left
at once for home.
The bride was Miss Pauline
Hill of Chicago. She is a sister
of Mrs. j. II. Somers, who is well
known here, Mr.. Somers having
operated the Grand and Bungalo
theatres, the latter of which ne
started. Miss Hill and Mr.. Davis
became acquainted at the Somers
home in Chicago. Their ac-
quaintance grew rapidly and cul-
minated in the wedding last Wed
nesday
Mr.. Davis is prominent
young business man of the city,
being a member of the firm of
F.. NJ. Davis & Sons. Although
the bride has never lived here
many Of the st. Maries people
feel we'll acquainted with her
through her sister and both are
being showered with congratula-
tions.

LdbOrOr Killed
At Hopkins Camp
JEAN LAMONT IS CRUSHED BY LOG
Was Attempting to Release Log Caught in Chute
When Another Log Came Down on Him.

A man named Jean Lamont
was killed at Hopkins logging
camp ON Harrison Flats Friday.
The accident happened while
Lamont was trying to disengage
la log which had caught i'm the
chute which extends from the
top of the hill down into Helrs
.Gulch where the logs are landed
preparatory TO being driven out
through a ditch into the ST. Joe
river.
The chute is in two sections
with a Hat between. The logs
are drawn a part of The way down
to the fiat by a donkey engine
and a team of horses is stationed
there to draw them over a slight
raise. On account of the fact
that logs sometimes get caught
i'm the chute a man is stationed
at the foot of it to disengage
them and il was while doing this
work that Lamont was killed.
While he was in the chute try
ing to disengage a log which was
caught another log was started
down by the donkey engine. The
second log was a large one and
gained sufficient momentum to
carry it over the fiat and down
the chute and Lamont was caught
before he could get out of the
way. He was instantly killed.
The body was brought to this
city and taken to the Mulcahy un-
dertaking parlors where it was
prepared for burial and the fun
cral will be held today. The un-
fortunate man was unmarried
and so far as is known had no
relatives in this part of the
country.

ELECTRICIAN DIES FROM
INHALING GAS

Frank l.. Stearns, an electric
ian at East Portal, on the Mil
waukee railroad, was overcome
by gas caused by the burning out
of a transmission wire which
caused a fire in the substation at
that point. He was brought to
the st -Maries Hospital in this
city but died Sunday morning. He
had a weak heart, which, together
with the action Of the gas on his
lungs was the cause of his death.
He was a young man, being on

To Push Work
OF Dredging River
ACTION TAKEN AT DRAINAGE MEETING
Energetic Men With Big interests at Stake Are
Named on Committees.

Later reports from the drain
age meeting at Harrison last
Thursday indicate that it was
much more important than was
indicated in the first reports re-
ceived. There were about fifty
of the leading property owners in
the district present, men who
have lost heavily by the high
water this spring, and who are
determined to take steps to pre-
vent a recurrence. An Organi-
cation was perfected by the cleo
tion of M. A. Kiger Of Harrison
as president, J. M. Brown of the
Occur d'Alene river valley secre-
tary, and Fred Herrick, of the
Milwaukee Lumber company Of
this city, treasurer.
AS the territory affected lies
partly in two counties and there
is a question whether a district
can be legally created out Of ter
ritOry in two counties, it was de-
c:ded to organize two districts,
one for Benewah county, and the
other for Kootenai county. This
action was decided upon because
of the fact that iderable
time would be lost in taking a
test case to the supreme court to
decide the legality of the ques-
ton.
Two committees we're appoint
ed, one for the Benewah district,
and one for the KoOtenai dis
trict. These committees we're
authorized to borrow the money
necessary and to have the work
of organizing done at once. The
Benewah county committee is
composed of Fred Herrick, J, E
Landeryou and p. G. Sweeney and
the KOOtenai county committee
comprises J. C. White, J. p. Pugh
and w. L. Tripplet
These men are heavily inter
ested in having the Spokane
river dredged deeper and wideneC
where it leaves the lake so as tC
permit the water to run off il

large a tonnage of freight from

finds this freight cut off because
no crops can be grown. He said
that the work outlined for his
committee would be pushed to
the utmost and the other mem
hers of the committee are even
more anxious than he TO see the
work completed in the shortest
possible time.
The one question that is caus-
ing trouble to those interested
is that the work to be done. the
widening and deepening Of the
river, Will be done in one county
and will be in one district, while
the benefit will accrue to both
districts. A special session of
the legislature has been suggest
ed to pass a law permitting the
consolidation of districts in
cases of this kind. It is under
stood that Governor Alexander
has been seen on the subject and
has stated that he will call a
special meeting of the legisla-
ture if it is found necessary in
order TO permit the work beinl
done before next spring.

will have a candidate for both
places and that all the pro-German
elements will join the socialists.

Over 100000 voters did not go

that the press of Chicago was unit
ed in appeals to voters to down
the pro-German vote.
Sullivan advocated this fusion
