The following case is only one of
many thousands. but it is that of a
Rawlins resident. Who could ask
for u better example?
Harry Riley, railroad conductor,

vibration on the railroad weakened
my kidneys, They acted too often
and the secretions were scanty.

Bv COMPTON I. WHITE
President Of Pend d'Oreille Pho
neer Association.

CLARKS FORK, IDAHO.-It
III } remained for Duncan Melon
- aid, noted Indian of western
Montana and son of Angus Nc
Donald, Hudson Bay trader, to dis
cover the chimney piles and site of
Kullyspell house on Lake Pend
d'Oreille and settle controversy
among historians as to the exact
location of the first trading post
erected by the white man in Idaho
and in the northwest. 1t was built
by David Thompson of the North
west Trading company in 1909.
The location is described in
Thompson's journal which was re-
Gently unearthed in the Canadian
archives at Toronto, and has been
sought for some time without sue
cess.
The assistance of Duncan Nc
Donald and other Indians was en-
listed by the Pend d'Oreille Pho
neers' association. After consult
ing Alex Kai Too of the Flathead
country, aged and blind brother of
Chief Merchelle of the Kalispel
tribe, who inhabited the Pend
d'Oreille region prior to the com
ing of the white man, Duncan
learned that the aged Indian had
seen and remembered the location
Of these chimneys, mentioned in

Duncan's father. Folding his hand

land, overgrown with tangled TN
derbrush, unsecured by the axe OF
civilization, stand the two piles
the larger one evidently a double
chimney which was constructed of
flat stones carried there by no
agency other than human hands.
The site selected by Thompson,
the trader, was a logical one, as the
bay in the lea of Mameloose af-
forded the, only shelter for Indian
canoes in the many storms that
sweep the wide expanse of open
water at the mouth of the river,

TWO COPPER CITY
GIRLS DISAPPEAR
MISSING FOR SOME DAYS, FOUL
PLAY FEARED; POLICE
AID SEARCH
Florence WaIIen and Maud Snow,
Principals of Mysterious Disappear
ance; May Have Gone to Join Car
nival Company.

Police of Butte and other Mon
tana cities have been asked to aid
in the search now being conducted
for 15-year-old Florence WALTON,
who disappeared from her home at
COG Pine street, Anaconda, recent
Iy, and of whom no trace has since
been found. Foul play is feared.
The girl is said to have disap-
peared almost simultaneously with
another girl of the same age in
Anaconda. Florence Wallen, who
is a sophomore at the Anaconda
high school, is declared to have
told neighbors that she was to leave
for Helena. Information from the
Capital city, however, is that moth
ing has been seen of them there.
1t was about $3.50 on the night of
the disappearance of the two girls
that Florence Wallen, who lives with
her brother, Oliver Wallen, left the
Wallen home, saying she was going to
call on a friend, Mary Hughes, and
from there the two were to go to
public library, where she intended to
look up some data in connection with
her studies. Her failure to return
home after a reasonable length of
time caused the Wallens to go in
search of the girl.
At the Hughes home 1t was learned
that the Wallen girl had not been
seen there. The next morning, how
ever, Oliver Wallen spoke with Maud
Snow. The latter is said to have re-
piled that she knew nothing of the
girls whereabouts. Later, when an
Anaconda official visited the Snow
home, the girl was not there, and it
was learned the Snow girl had also
disappeared.
Young Man Involved
While there is no definite theory as
to the exact time the two girls dis
appeared or in what manner they had
vanished, Oliver Wallen told the po-
lice he believed they left Anaconda
in the company of young man
whose name was said to be Verne
Cavanaugh. He is described as being
about 10 years of age and is said to
be carnival man.
The Wallen girl is described as be-
ing five feet three inches tall and |
weighed about 1872 pounds. She has
blue eyes, while her hair, described as
light, is bobbed. When she left she
was clad in mans cap, light ging-
ham blouse and black skirt. With |
the exception of her hair, which is
said to be brown, the Snow girl is of
similar description. She was dressed
in a khaki suit when she disappeared.
May Join Carnival
Cavanaugh, the young man with
whom it is believed the two girls left
the smelter city, is said to be a ma
tive of Salt Lake city. 1t is believed
by the authorities that the trio left
for some inland town where they will
join up with a fair or carni-
val, as that is said to be the occupa-
ton of the young man. No description
Of the young man was given to the
police. Maude Snow, one of the girls
s said to have been married, although 4,
before her departure, according to
Mr.. Wallen, she was living with her {
parents on Elm street in Anaconda. ,

RECREANT DELEGATIONS

In the old days when We held coun-
ty and state conventions for nominal
ing candidates for Office, to which de-
legates were chosen by the caucus
method. the voters occasionally made
an effort to instruct their delegates
to vote for certain men-sometimes
for particular planks In the party plat
form. Let 1t be said to the credit
of the caucus and convention system
and in praise of the good faith of those
days that these instructions were
quite frequently carried out 1t was
not always so. however. Instances
could be readily recalled where de-
legations were instructed in the most
emphatic manner and where part
