sprays lent beauty to the decora-
tons. The solemn words uniting the

supported by two white pillars and
all covered with a profusion of sprays
and flowers.

extended to Mr.. and Mrs. Shattuck

a wire Thursday advising her that
her son, George Hopkins, a fireman
on the Great Northern Railway run
ming between Everett, Wash, and
Vancouver, B. c., had been seriously
injured in a wreck which occurred
near Vancouver. Mr.. and Mrs. Cal

Everett. Mrs. T. j. Hollinger, a
sister of Mrs. O'Callaghan, left Fri
day for Everett. T. j. Hollinger
received a letter from his wife yes
terday telling of the accident. II
seems the railway tracks spread and

toppled off the track careening on
the fireman's side and pinning Hop
kins in the wreck. 1t is under
stood that he lived only a few hours
after the accident happened

Swanson Fined 500

Arthur Swanson, the man who was
arrested several weeks ago by Deputy
Sheriff Callahan on the charge of
having in his possession Intoxicating
liquor, was taken yesterday morning
before Judge Flynn at Standpoint
when he plead guilty and was fined
500 and given go days in Jail.
Swanson was paroled by Judge Flynn
when it was brought to the latter's
attention that Swanson's family was
destitute and that they were in need
of Swanson's earnings. Swanson was
taken to Standpoint by Deputy Cal
lahan. County Prosecuting Attorney
Wilson appeared for the state.
When arrested Swanson was driv-
ing a large touring car which was
packed with cases of whiskey. He
claimed to be working for a Troy
outfit and said that he did not know
he was in Idaho and that he had
been instructed to meet a car at
the Idaho Montana line. The car he
drove was confiscated by Sheriff
Sawyer. There is a mortgage against
the car and County Attorney Wilson
has not yet decided what disposition
can be made of the case.

HAS 200 TONS OF ORE READY
Western Belle Company Planning to
Secure Shipping Facilities.

A special meeting of the directors
of the Western Belle Mining Co.,
Ltd, was held in the office of R.
Lamont on Monday afternoon, which
was attended by Colen Smith, Port
hill, president; A. Mccormick, Spo-
kane, vice president; S. r. Green,
Spokane, ecretary-treasurer; S. w.
Smith and Joe Walls, Porthill, and
r. Lamont, Creston, directors, accord
ing to the Creston Review.
The Western Belle is a Summit
creek property, on which a great
deal of development work has al
ready been done, the company's
holdings embracing 200 acres on
North Star mountain. Frequent as
says of the ore show it to run so
per cent lead and about ten ounces
of silver to the ton, showing a
trace of gold.
The company has now at least
200 ton of ore on the dump. 1t has
just completed the erection of COM
modious bunk and cookhouses and
has started a crew of men to work
driving a long tunnel, possibly 1000
feet. The company is well financed
for operating this tunnel work, and
they are not expecting to ship any
ore until early in 1918.
The property is advantageously
situated in many respects. They have
only four miles of road to build to
connect up with the road used by
the Idaho-Continental, and the plans
are to erect their concentration at a
point midway between the mine and
the Continental road and bring the
ore down in by a bucket tram. The
concentrator has an ideal location
in that it is so situated that it can
be utilized by the Davenport group
of claims, which are also being
opened up.
The Western Belle people are deep
ly interested in the construction of
a road up Summit Creek as this
is the natural and best outlet for
its ore, and the company would pre-
fer to barge its ore to the Trail
smelter.

TWO YOUNG
BOYS DROWN
FALKY SANDSTROM AND ELMER
HOGLUND DROWNED IN
SLOUGH TUESDAY.
FUNERAL SERVICES FRIDAY
Bodies Found Wednesday Morning
in Eight Feet of Water.

Falky Sandstrom, the Is year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Gust Sandstrom,
and Elmer Hoglund, the year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Eric Hoglund,
residents of Everett, Wash, were
drowned last Tuesday afternoon in a
slough along the Great Northern
railway tracks east of town.
The funeral services were held
Friday afternoon at the Scandinavian
Lutheran church, and were conducted
by Rev. Otterstad pastor of the Bon
ners Ferry and Standpoint Lutheran
churches. Interment was had in the
local cemetery.
The funeral services were attended
by a large crowd of the friends of
the deceased and their families and
a dozen or more autos carried the
mourners to the cemetery Great
clusters of flowers were given to
be banked about the coffin and on
the two graves, silent tokens of re-
gard for the boys whom the Death
Angel had claimed so suddenly and
of the sympathy for the heartbroken
parents and relatives
How the two boys were drowned
will alweys be mystery. They
left home in the middle of the after
noon supposedly to pick huckleber-
ries. They did not return for supper
and when dusk fell and the boys did
not show up their parents became
alarmed and started out to look for
them. No trace of them was found
until the next morning at day break
when a party of searchers noticed
bundle of clothes tucked under a
log on the bank of the slough. The
bodies were soon found in water
eight feet deep, the body of the older
boy being on top of that of the
younger Those who found the bodies
seem to think it more than possible
that the Sandstrom boy had been
stricken with cramps. From the
position of the Hoglund boys arms
he appeared to have dived into the
water.
The Hoglund boy was a nephew
of the Sandstrom boy, Mrs. Hoglunc
and her children having been visiting
here several weeks at the home Of
Mrs. Hoglund's mother, Mrs. Sand
strum. Mr.. Hoglund arrived here
Wednesday in response to a tele-
gram telling of his sons death anC
Mr.. Sandstrum arrived Thursday
from Eureka where he has beer
working this summer. The HoglunC
family returned to their home Sun
day afternoon.
Falky Sandstrum was a bright
cheerful lad and gave promise o.
great development in a musical way
He was an accomplished violinis
and played this instrument in Wal
denis Juvenile orchestra.
The bereaved families have tn,
deepest sympathy of the entire com
munity over their loss.

responsive chord in the heart of
every woman in this county who is
able to knit even a little. Please
read very carefully and be ready to
respond to the call our local auxil-
larry will send out just as soon as
the knitting materials can be pro-

expressed a desire to knit, but until
now we have been unable to furnish
the material. For those who cannot
come out to the meetings, but who
wish to help in the knitting, we
will send materials on request. Mrs.
George R. Gray is the very capable
chairman in charge of the knitting

hope that the women of this county
