RUSH TO WARREN;
NO HOTEL ROOMS
Difficult to Get Sleeping Ac-
commodations, Says Dep
uty Assessor

The gold mining camp of Warren
is experiencing a summer of unusual
prosperity, according to John A.
Powell, deputy assessor, who returned
to Grangeville Friday night from the
camp.
More persons are in Warren than
for years, according to Mr.. Powell.
Every stage that arrives in the camp
from Mccall is filed to capacity, and
often it is almost impossible for a
stranger to secure sleeping accommoda-
tions, so numerous are the Wis
itors.
While there is no great mining ac-
tivity in the camp, at the present
time, remarked Mr.. Powell, much in
terest is shown by outside interests in
possibilities there, and the visitors
are arriving to gain frsthand informa-
ton on mining conditions

JUST CAN'T BALK
COWBOY BAND; in
L. A. AFTER ALL

Yep, the Grangeville Cowboy
band played in the Elks parade
in Los Angeles, July IA. AL
though the band remained at
home. because the Lewiston
lodge of Elks, which was to
have financed the bands trip
to the national convention, fell
down on the. job, the bend was
there, albright, albright. At
least the Los Angeles Examiner
said so, in its issue for last
Friday, and, of course, it must
be true. Here's just what the
Examiner said:
GA very considerable noise
ushered in the Cowboy band from
Grangeville, Idaho, all Elks and
all first class performers on band
instruments, and they were
followed by Joe Flores and his
mounted troop of Cowboys"
Meantime, the band was IN
Grangeville. It is pointed out
that, inasmuch as the Cowboy
band s appearance in Los Ange-
les had been extensively adver-
tised in the papers there, the
Los Angeles Elks decided they
didn t dare fall down on the job
even though Lewiston did. SO,
it is presumed, they doped
ont a band in cowboy RECALLS
from one of the movie studios
in the southland, and labeled
the musical aggregation the

Kabat, with John Dawson, w. j..
Soltman and Willard Rush, all of
Grangeville, was on a fishing trip.
The men spent an hour fishing. Daw-
son went to the camp at the bridge
to prepare dinner, while Kabat, Solt-
man and Rush undressed and enter
ed the river near the bridge. They
walked through shallow water on a
sand bar upstream for distance Of
about city block. The rs rays
as they poured into the deep canyon
were hot, and the men were re-
freshing themselves in the cold waters
of the river.
"Helpi" Kabat suddenly called.
His companions, who were not far
away, turned toward him. Soltman
called: pTake your time. You will
be all right But Kabat sank. He
came to the surface once, and then
was seen no more. Kabat, it is said,
could swim but little, Soltman is a
novice at swimming, and Rush can
not swim at all.
~ FEET OF WATER
Kabat, it is believed, either step
ped off the sandbar into deep water
which washes the bar, or else the main
stream had cut beneath the bar and
the shell-like surface near the edge
crumbled beneath the mans weight.
The water was twelve feet deep where
the body was recovered. Witnesses
said the place where Kabat drowned
was about twenty feet from where his
body was found. The water at that
point was about eight feet deep.
John Dawson drove to Grangeville
to give word of the drowning. A
searching party was organized and
rushed in automobiles to the scene.
