Dahk. Where they crossed at one place

Inc stage came along an hour or so

distance. That is dangerous work.
John Phillips came up from Sites
tuesday to see his son Homer. and
wire, on for Spokane John said he
was Dusier than huckleberry merch-
ant since the flood, running the ferry
across the Clearwater, looking after
the stage line and freighting mining
machinery into the various camps
throughout the Ten Mile and Elk dis
tricts. He says the flood hit Stites
an awfully hard blow, but that It has
been decided by the citizens that the
nrst thing to do is TO get busy and
build cement or concrete dixie or
Dreakwater for the protection of the
town, and that there is not much use
undertaking to rebuild until that is
done. The dixie should be built before
any attempt is made to replace the
bridge.
Sam Rossiter returned home SUM-
day evening from Boise where he was
discharged on account Of physical dis
ability. Sam did not go to Utah with
Company Il, being laid up in the hos
pital with a severe case of the mumps
at the time Of the company's depart
ure, and after getting out he was held
in Boise until discharged. Strong rep
reservations we're made to the pow
ers that be by the Grangeville citizens
in regard to the injuries received last
year by Steve Rossiter, the father, and
the dependence of the mother upon the
son for assistance on the place, and it
was expected Sam would be returned
home. The discharge papers simply
speak of disability without specifying
the character Sam was glad to get
back home, and 1t is expected he will
take an active part in home affairs,
now that he is here.
Jim Wood returned from White Bird
last Friday night, where he went some
two or three weeks ago, seeking bene-
fit from the lower altitude. Jim did
not improve materially by the change,
but is plucky, and is determined to win
out anyway He was at White Bird
during the flood period and got up out
of bed to keep fires to warm the boys
who were fighting to save the town
from being entirely washed away. The
havoc wrought. however, is great and
il will be some time before normal con
dstions are restored. The citizens turn
ed enmasse and battled like heroes
against the ravages of the floods, and
were drenched through and through.
1t was cold and they would have to
stop once in while to get warmed,
and Jim did his stint in keeping up
hot fire. J. Loyal Addison was the
hardest hit of any of the citizens, hav-
ing his barn and warehouse completely
washed away
