ARTHUR RAUENzAHN DIED SUD-
DENLY AT BUTTE.

A message was received here Sun
day by Mrs. Frank Munro from r..
Bertsch at Butte, Mont, announcing
the sudden death at midnight on FRI
day, May 10Th. OF his son-in-law, Ar
thur Rauenzahn, who at one time was
engaged In the butcher business with
his father at this place. 1t was here
that he met Miss Pearl Bertsch and
they were later married. From here
they went to Winchester, removing a
year ago this spring to Butte, where
Arthur was holding d position with the
Montana Hardware company at the
time OF his death. The immediate
cause of the sudden demise was the
rupturing Of blood vessel In the neck.
The Young man came home from the
store on the evening of the 10Th, and
while not feeling we'll nothing serious
was thought to be the matter. At
midnight he passed suddenly away.
Deceased was a young man OF many
excellent qualities and made many
friends and no enemies wherever he
lived. The sympathy Of the many
friends here go out TO the young wife
In this hour of great sorrow.

podaino Mother Memo.

Infant prodigies are not unknown in
China, and Chinese Buddhists find it
easy to account for them. According
to the doctrine Of the transmigration
Of souls. persons passing through hades
on their way to the wheel Of life
(Which relaunches souls into the bodies
Of babies or animals just being born)
have to cross bridge. Before mount
ing the bridge they are stopped by an
old bag called Meng, who. ladle In
hand, compels each soul to drink a
mouthful of the waters OF forgetful-
ness, for which the popular name is
Mother Meng's soup. Those who drink
of this forget all that they had passed
through or had known in their former
life and thus on being reborn into the
world are entirely ignorant. Some.
however, manage to dodge Mother
Meng and enter the world full of
knowledge. which they display as soon
as they can articulate.

Light waves, Of course, are OF dlher-
Ant lengths. In the spectrum the RED
waves are longest. orange next yellow

shortest OF the visible waves. SO II
we were to give the measurement OF
the very smallest thing we would have
to take one Of the light waves In the
violet end of the spectrum or, better
still. one Of the waves Of the ultravio-
let portion which Is invisible.
The shortest Of these that has been
determined is 100 millionths Of a milh-
meter. Changing this to fractions OF
an inch, we can comprehend the small
ness of the wave better. If these waves
were placed one on top Of the other
there would be more than 100000 of
them in line one inch long. The neg
alive corpuscle which Is a constituent
part Of the atom is known to be small

been determined.
That these light waves can be meas

waves are refracted 1t is only matter

Originally From Asia, Il 10 Still Found

Generally speaking, the English
pheasant is misnamed. since it came
from Asia and is still to be found in
India, Tibet and China. The birds
were brought to Europe more than 500
years ago. turned loose on hunting
preserves and thrived amazingly. They
supply the finest bird shooting In Scot
land and England, and so much care is
taken In raising them that they may
almost be regarded as half domesti-
Gated bird
Under the present system the eggs
are Matched by hens or in incubators.
The chicks are carefully fed on In
sects and prepared foods. and when
they are able to shift for themselves
they are turned into the woods. While
the common pheasant will roost In
trees, 1t is ground bird. The female
win remain under cover until 1t Ii al
most stepped upon.
Because of this trait the pheasants
are aroused by men who beat in the
thickets until the pheasants take flight
over shooting boxes, where the hunt
ers are concealed. -Philadelphia North

The local order of Eagles at their
regular meeting last week brought up
the subject of the Liberty Loan, and
by unanimous action voted to purchase

of whether they should purchase bonds

The former amount was decided on for
the time being, but should 1t become
necessary In the future, the larger pur-
chase will be made, according to the

HIGH WATER DAMAGES.



Sites Enterprise: The South Fork
Of the Clearwater river at this point
left its banks on Tuesday and swept
the entire Clearwater valley taking
out the Harpster, Sites and Kooskia
bridges. On account Of the heavy rains
on Camas Prairie Cottonwood creek
was full and carried fourteen feet OF
water and In the mining section the
rain fell In torrents and with the snow
melting the highest water ever record
ed by the white settlers came rushing
down, filled with trees, driftwOOd, and
debris OF every description
The city Of Sites was practically I'M
der water but no serious damage was
done. III. G. divers barn was moved
to j. M. Gordon's ranch, about half a
mile away. Mr.. Oliver had built this
structure In first-cIass shape and the
barn Is I'm as good condition az before
except as to its location. That portion
of the city below the bridge suffered
the greatest and the many beautiful
grounds and splendid gardens were
washed away. The personal property
loss to individuals will not exceed
81, 900.
Heavy Damages In Bridges Lost.
The damages done to the county
bridges and highways In this section
VIII require an expenditure of from
$2O0,OO0 to 100000 and the people feel
this burden keenly at this time.
Miles Of Telephone Destroyed.
The Sites Telephone Co. was put
out of business, after just completing
the line and after having been washed
out two weeks previous. r. Il. Ellis
Is now busily engaged with a crew
getting out poles resetting poles and
reestablishing the lines to prevent an
other repetition of this expenditure In
giving the people the service. The line
between this point and Kooskia Is a
total loss, while 1t will take two weeks
to repair the line up the valley.
Eectric Light Plant Damaged.
The electric light plant was put out
OF commission but service will be re-
stored within a short time
Riprapping Washed Out; Ware

The city lost much of the riprapping
along the river and II. G. Benoy's shop
was undermined under one corner

They were badly damaged last winter
when the foundation gave way. They
have been built number of years and
had served their usefulness and the
company contemplated the cOnstruc-
ton of new warehouses this summer.
The water did NOT enter any of the
business houses to do any damage and
every merchant was on hand to attend
the needs of customers. People were
upon the streets until late In the even
ing and when the water began to re-
cede all went to their respective places
of abode. The following morning
Everybody was seen making for their
respective homes and nearly all found
that the water had not entered them.
Team Of Horses Lost.

reported seen going down the river and
