BURYING MISTAKES.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

Ye are our epistle, written in oui
hearts, known and read of all men,
2 Corinthians 3:2.
The dear Lords best interpreters
Are humble human souls;
The Gospel of a life like theirs
Is more than books or scrolls.
From scheme and creed the light goes
out,
The sanity fact survives;
The blessed Master none can doubt
Revealed the holy lives.

Pioneer Miner Has Two Escapes

Pete Kraus of Atlanta was in town
last Friday renewing old acquaint-
ances. He has been in Boise to have
his broken arm repaired and resting
Last November, doing assessment
work on a claim in the playhouse
district an early and heavy snow
came. That night a snowslide came
ness, in roar as of colliding worlds.
Then came silence and suffocating
oppression as Pete tried to calculate
which direction was up and why his
right arm was useless.
The first point finally decided, with
his left hand Pete burroWed his way
up to the light and life through the
avalanche that had all but extin-
guished the spark of existance, and
after hours emerged to find his pos
sessions vanished and himself alone
in the mountain wastes. Fortunately
his webs were hanging in a tree, out
of the reach of the slide, and after
setting his broken wrist as best he
could, Pete slipped into the-straps and
made his way across the divides to
the Overlook, on Black Warrior.
Here few men were at work, and
Pete was given what he could do
while his broken bones knit. He Sc
lected an unoccupied cabin a little
distance from the Others, and fell
into the routine OF days of light
work. And still the snowfall con-
tinued. AT last one night the pres
sure grew too great, and the slide
let go. Turned by projecting point
of rocks, the avalanche split, one part
passing to the west Of the cluster of
cabins, the other to the east, and
this wing, by freak of fate, swept
away the outlying cabin that housed
Pete, the only building in the camp
that was touched.
Reused by the roar, the men turned

as soon as able to travel Pete once
more slipped on his webs and hit
the trail, this time for Boise where

GIBSON TALKS ON
IRRIGATION TO
BOISE AID CLUB
Outlines Efforts to Get Wa
ter From Snake for Lands
in Elmore and Ada Coun-
ties.

Will Fl. Gibson addressed the mem
bers of the Boise ad club at their
regular meeting Monday noon, at
the chamber of commerce rooms. Mr..
Gibson spoke in behalf of the Noun
tain Home-Sunnyside irrigation
project, as did S. Fl. Hays a week
earlier, but he took the stand that
the project could best be irrigated
from the proposed American Falls
reservoir, while Mr. Hays declared
the land could best be irrigated from
the Stanley basin country, utilizing
water that is at present running to
waste.
Mr.. Gibson said he had spent a
great deal of time and study on the
proposed American Falls dam with
relation to the proposed Mountain
Home Sunnyside project, and he was
convinced the best thing the counties
of Ada and Gilmore could do would
be to make the American Falls dam
a reality He said he believed little
thought of the significance OF the
American Falls dam and its import
ance to the future development of the
southern part OF tn state had been
given. He said also that the two
counties most concerned, Ada and Ell
more, did not realize the Importance
of the Mountain Home-Sunnyside
project and it's relation to the future
of Ada and Elmore county people.
He thought the best thing that could
be done would be to work along the
lines that have already been pursued
in the surveying Of the Mountain
Home-Sunnyside tract.
Mr.. Gibson seemed to feel that the
ad club was endorsing the proposition
as put forward by Mr.. Hays; that
is, the idea of watering the Noun
tain Home-Sunnyside tract from the
Stanley basin. Il. G., Rosenheim
president of the club, declared that
the club was neutral, was taking issue
with no one and was merely investi-
eating the possibilities, and would
endorse the plan of irrigation that
would seem most practicable.

ST. JAMES GUILD
HEARS REPORT OF
CONVOCATION

Friday evening the st. James guild
their husbands and friends met at
the r. W. Smith home and enjoyed
a most interesting evening. With
Mrs. Whitson at the piano the guests
sang their favorites from the church
hymnal, and then heard the report of
the annual meeting of the woman's
Auxiliary of the missionary district
eli Idaho, which was held recently at
Boise, which was written and read by
Mrs. Vandegrift, and in part is as
follows:
When our president asked me to
write This report 1t was almost with
4 selfish feeling that | assured her
that it would be pleasure for deem
it pleasure indeed to recount to
you some of the wonderful things
that I'VE have heard at the convoca-
ton. To try to tell you something
of the wonderful warmth Of spirit
that binds us together in the work Of
the church throughout this mission
ary district of Idaho, to make you
feel, as we have been made to feel,
that there is a stewardship for each
one of us, and If the church is to meet
her task and complete it as the
Master would have her do, it rests
with the individuals who are mem-
bers of her body to function proper
ly. Each must do her part, even as
the hand or the eye must function
to bring about the desired
results for the health of our bodies
The church has task to perform
such as has never before been felt
and she needs her every daughter
to function in her own way for the
oil the Kingdom.
We heard reports from all the
learned delegates and were entertain
ed royalty. The Bishop read us very
classic article filled with courage for
each of u.s. The lesson to be CLEANED
from the reading being that from our
earliest childhood we plan on the
riches of the family increasing when
mothers ship comes in. We grow to
manhood and womanhood alWayst
looking forward to that ship ccming
in, but by this time it Is our own
ship we are looking for, planning that
we may be ready for its arrival and |
as old age creeps upon us the man |

Decting that ship to come in is the |
nan or woman who has not passed |
heir usefulness, for just so long as
we keep that to look forward to t
>ur energies ara ever keen and our
ield oil usefulness waiting for us.
But when we give up, and think that
We have missed our ship or that
has happened to it, then
We have lost sight of that goal of
and usefulness which God
las meant to keep ever fresh in our
goal to lw9tk toward" +"
