REWARD FOR GIRL
rs WITHDRAWN
Parents Could Not Stand Disappoint-
ment Of False Reports

Meridian Times: Moved by the
necessity of sparing Mrs. Myron Les
ter the excitement and disappoint-
ment entailed by the daily communi-
cations OF persons thinking they have
clues to the disappearance of her
daughter, Miss Alyse Lester, who left
her home in Boise on the evening of
June 30, none of which have been
found to have the slightest founda-
tion in fact, the family has decided
to announce the withdrawal of the
reward offered for information re-
garding the girl
The repeated stresses of emotion
occasioned by rumors brought to her
and anxiety over the fate of her
daughter has brought Mrs. Lester to
the verge Of a nervous collapse, and
her physician has directed that the
subject be strictly tabooed in the in
terost of her health. Many of the
rumors have been presented by
friends anxious only to aid in the
solving of the mystery, but the eff
feet of the continual strain has been
such that the family believes that
no useful purpose can be served now
by further effort In this direction.

EXTINGUISH BAD FIRE
Mrs. Marion Says Good Work Saved
the Home, Which Was Endan-
gered When Motor Fires

The fire department was called out
Tuesday morning to extinguish a
fire in the pump house at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs, Lloyd Marion, one
mile east of this city.
The blaze started from the motor
and was discovered by Mrs. Marion,
who at once turned in the alarm to
the fire department.
The fire boys responded at once
and were at the scene in very few
minutes from the time the alarm was
given and very soon extinguished the
blaze.
In an interview with Mrs. Marion
she stated that both she and Mr..
Marion wished to express their ap-
probation and gratitude to the fire
department for their quick response
and efficiency in fighting and put
: tig out the fire. The department
certainly did fine work.
The extent of the damage has not
been determined at this time, but
the motor and meter were ruined,
and it will be necessary to re-wire
the building, which will be done at
once.
Only for the excellent work of the
firemen, the entire building and res
idence would have burned to the
ground.

WEISER GIRLS TAKE
PART IN FIRE FIGHT

Place the names of five Weiser
girls in the hall of fame. They are:
Misses Alice, Margaret, Gertrude and
Helen Neeley and Miss Muriel Klotz.
Recently these young ladies were
camped in the Weiser national for
est and five forest fires menaced the
section. The five girls, instead of
fleeing in terror, shouldered shovels
and mattocks and fought the blaze
until the last spark was out.
Which is exactly what we would
expect of Idaho girls.

MANY DUCKS ON
CAMAS RESERVOIR

The Republican publishers drove
out to the Little Camas reservoir
last Sunday. The trip was sort of
a side jaunt from fishing excursion
of the evening before. but inasmuch
as considerable rain had fallen In
the mountains the day before, the
fishing was rather poor.
From all outward appearances,
about half of the ducks in the world
have taken up their summer home
at the reservoir. All kinds were
present. from the big canvasback to
the blue winged teal.
The water in the reservoir seems
to be holding up remarkably well
and an abundant supply is evidently
assured the ranchers.

SKY MEADOWS
(In Memory of Guy Lynn Books)

l shall when the days olden,
And mist and pity in the air;
When the vines red and the aspens golden
But you will not be there.
The blue will mantle the cliffs and mountains
And the myrtle weep by her elfn spring
And the birches sigh by the flashing fountains
Where the sad-souled Naiads sing;
And the withered MOSES cling.
The deer will glance from the laurel holows
And the dragons howl the desert gray;
With ever the lonely fit of swallows
Ger the wistful face Of day
The wind will Groom where the drear rocks waken
Their echoes sad dying groan,
And the dead grass cries like thing forsaken
And left to its grief alone
With its rasping, shuddering moan.
2.aas2--a4t r. ,
And shall 60 where the leaves are drfted,
In many welloved trail and glade;
Where the empty of the trees lifted
Like they had died as they prayed.
Where the things that lived in the time departed
At the were-wofs call back again.
In a sadness like to the broken-hearted
To shambe through the glen
Monsters and shaggy men,
By the river road to the far-of ranges
I'll build my fires eve by eve,
And the very hills will know the changes,
And why the old frs grieve;
And why sit in the silence lonely,
Feeling the unseen spirits pass,
With the old old wish in my heart and only
The wan sun on the grass,
And the things which cry "Alas!"
But you will when the leaves cleaning,
And the days bright and the hours STILL
When spring like pensive maid is dreaming
On valley and wood and hill
And we shall know that you're very us,
When the broken circle shall form once more;
That your eyes will and your will hear us,
Just you did before,
And the heart will be less
cssAag " - Asr@~
For you have gone to the fowery meadows
And streams far the Last Divide;
But here in the land of shadows,
And deserts waste and wide
And because you there will follow after,
Till the dying day and the night shall blend,
With many tears and little laughter,
As aching feet ascend
On the trail which has no end
