Body Of Selmer Helseth
Was Located Last Week
Lad Drowned in Long Prairie River
Over Year Ago Was Found
On Monday

The remains of Selmer Helseth,
a year old adopted son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter j. Peterson, who was
drowned in the Long Prairie river
March 81, 1922, was found Monday
morning by Carl Strack and Leo Car
roll, little boys who were playing
along the river bank. They immed-
lately notified Mr.. Peterson, who to-
gether with a number of men, went
to the river and removed the body.
The body was located about block
north of the old creamery building
and not over two blocks from where
the little fellow had fallen into the
river. The body was lying beside a
log, which had evidently caught it as
it f1oated down stream. The body
was covered with sand, but one foot
protuded. The boys who found the
body saw the foot and it was this
that enabled them to discover that
the body was beside the log.
The current of the river had shift
ed somewhat during the year since
the drowning, otherwise the body
might never have been discovered.
The drifting sands would have COM
pletely enveloped it. The little boys
shoes and overshoes were we'll pre-
served, but not much more than the
skeleton remained of the body. The
remains were tenderly gathered up
and removed to the Peterson under
taking parlors. A short burial SER
vice is to be held at the Peterson
home at 1880, Thursday May 31st
and there will be funeral service
at the Salem church in Gordon this
afternoon, Rev. ]. A. Johnson offic-
Eating, and interment will be in the
cemetery of that church.
Selmer was the son of Rasmus
Helseth, who now lives at Shafer,
N. D. The accident was a particu-
larry sad one. The little fellow had
been playing on the ice in the early
spring with some playmates and had
gotten into the water. The current
was swift and he quickly disappeared
beneath the ice. The alarm was i'm
mediately given and hundreds of
men hurried to the river to search
for the body, but Notwithstanding
the search was kept up for several
weeks and experts in the discovery
of drowned bodies were brought
here to try and locate the body, no
trace of the little fellow could be
found and after a time the search
was given up. The river was dragged
and re-dragged many times a dis
lance of several miles down the
stream. A number of searchers tell
us that at different times they stood
On the log beside which the body was
found and from there directed drag
cling operations. 1t is strange that
the body could not have been located
at the time of the drowning, but the
ice on the river, together with the
circumstance that in all probability
the sand quickly covered the body,
prevented the sarchers' efforts from
being successful.

Big Recreation Camp for
Disabled Vets of All Wars
Opens June 1S at Big Island, Lake
Observation-Disclosures for
Thousand Possible

The recent announcement that
theh Minnesota State Recreation
Camp for Disabled Veterans is to
open June 10 has brought a flood of
inquiries and reservations, according
to Emmett Smith, anager of the
camp.
"These Inquiries" said Mr. Smith,
"are frequently accompanied by re-
quests for verifcation of the sched-
nle of prices, which are so low as to
cause many of the fellows to believe
there is some mistake. 1t seems a
mystery to them how we can furnish
a man and wife and one child with
food, separate lodging and all the
many attractive features of camp
for total of $3.50 per week. l have
written back" Mr.. Smith continued,
f'that Minnesota takes real care of
its sons who suffered disabilities in
the service. This was enc of the first
states in the Union to grant bonus.
The spirit that sent the old First
Minnesota into the Civil War still
flames in the breasts of the citizens
of the North Star State. I tell the
fellows that the price covers only
the bare cost Of provisions, the bal
ance of the cost being covered by an
appropriation of the Legislature.
Big Island in Lake Minnetonka
where the camp is located, is busy
place these days, for there must be
no unfinished details left when the
camp opens. The present buildings
which have been in use for the past
two seasons for a similar purpose
are being put in tip-top shape, an6

vations, additional facilities have

The veterans of Antietam, San
Juan Hill, Vimy Ridge and Chateau
Thierry will "swap" experiences at
the Minnesota State Recreation Camp
for Disabled Veterans this summer,
according to information received
from Emmett Smith, manager OF the
Camp, who announces that every
detail of the Camp will have been
completed by June 18th, the date
set for it's opening.
In a letter addressed to S. H. Tow
Ter, Commandant of the Minnesota
Soldiers Home, Mr.. Smith extended
an invitation to the boys of 81 to
make Big Island their playground
this summer. That considerable
number of Cicil War Veterans will
attend was indicated by Major Tow
Ter.
The announcement recently made
that the Camp will be open to Cana
dian Veterans of the World War has
resulted in considerable number OF
reservations by Canadian Veterans,
glad to avail themselves of this op-
portunity for recreation and rest at
minimum cost.
Quarters for the single men are
already completed, five cottages
having just been finished which will
be used for housing married men
who bring their families. An addi-
tional group of seven buildings fol-
the same purpose are now under con-
struction and will be finished within
the next week.
By reason of a legislative appro,
priation passed at the last session
the rates for attendants at the Camp
have been placed at figure of $500
per week for single men, and $7.5C
per week for a married man, which
includes his wife and one child.
Big Island is located in Lake
Minnetonka, one-half mile from Elk
celsior. For many years Big Islano
was maintained as a summer resort
and is known in every section of the
United States. For the past three
seasons it has been used for the

The Shrine of Our Dead
'He sleeps on the hill near Roma

Old Glory keeping daily watch
about him." writes Mrs. Maude Dom
ohue Hall, Editor Of the Cokato En-
terprise, in sending her contribution
to place flowers on the grave of her
late husband, "Bill' Donohue, killed
in action in the Argonne. "The
raising of this permanent endowment
fund is the finest piece of work ever
undertaken by The American Lee
gin," continues Mrs. Donohue Hall,
"It will keep sacred the shrine of
our dead long after we who now
live have been forgotten.
There is no Time Limit
In renting a 5000 check for the
Overseas Graves Fund, Burt Pratt
Post of Virginia, Mimi, writes:
"This is the first installment from
Virginia citizens. Contributions are
still coming in, and we expect to
remit from $500 to $500 before we
feel that we have done our duty to
our dead comrades. Virginia citi-
zens remember" "There is not time
to the effort for the Legion's Over
scans Graves Fund.- is the word from
Lemuel Bolles, Legion National Ad-
jutant. And State Commander Ger
aid Barron says: Memorial Day,
1923, is now history, but the Graves
Endowment Fund will go on forever,
and through it every grave of our
buddies in France will be decorated
on each Memorial Day. No post or
Legionaire should consider his duty
to dead as done until he has helped
fill the Minnesota quota of this fund.
