The Boise Statesman of Tuesday
states that over 200 visitors are ex
pected In Boise during the congress.
The following are among the feat
ures being arranged:
Next Monday, September 3, prom
ises to be one of the most completely
rounded out days in the history of
Boise S3 far as public celebrations go.
With the opening day of the session
of the Irrigation congress and the cel
ebration of Labor Day as well, there
promises to be "something doing" all
day Ions.
The central committee of the labor
unions held a meeting Sunday after
noon at Labor hall and completed de
tails of the celebration of Labor Day.
Under conservative management th.s
irrigation congress and the observance
o Labor Day will not materially In
terfere, and harmony will prevail,
though the two programs will overlap
e:ich other. In order that a proper
onenine ol the irritrntinn oonirres
nay be observed.' the labor unions j
have agreed to postpone their parade. I

j the Utah exhibit at (lie Irrlgatlo con
! Brers, and It is for that purpose that
; he Is here. Mr. Judd is confident that
the Utah exhibit will be the best
made.
Ills state has spared no expense or
pains In collecting the exhibit, and
he came armed with plans and speci
fications for a special booth, but when
he saw how complete anda deiuate
the arrangements were, concluded
that they were sufficient and ample,
and any outlay for that purpose was
not justified.
The fact that he was prepared to do
so, however, shows the desperate
struggle for the coveted cup that will
be made. Space for the Utah exhibit
has been allotted at the southern end
of the exuposltlon grounds, and the
work of decoration and the installa
tion of the exhibit will be begun to
day. Utah expects to have one of th-j
largest fruit exhibits shown.

Elwnrd Duvanchelle. of Moloknl.
Ik the hero of n most remarkable)
story of human courage and endur
ance, and of a marvelous escape from
death. The fact that he wa sone of
the team that represented the na
tional guard of Hawaii nt the rifle
shooting nt Sea Girt, N. J., last fall,
will perhaps add some Interest to tho
tale of his thrilling experience.
Monday night, May 23, Duvan
chelle, who Is a fisherman living at
Pukoo, on the southern coast of Mo
lokal, with three native Hawailuns
as companions, left home In a whale'
boat with a load of fish for Lahahm
about 21 miles away. They arrived
therj safely, sold their fish an j
about 8 o'clock started In a dead
calm to row hack.
A light breeze sprang up and they
hoisted sail, making the shet fast. A
sudden squall capsized them before
they could ease off the sheet. Tha
boat became waterlogged and began
drifting out to sea. They were at
the time a mile or two from Kaana-
pall Landing Maul. They made
float v.ith four oars and the mast
and, with this to help them, two ot
the natives, at their own request
started to swim ashore to get help.
After waiting their return for three
hours in vain, Duvauchelle and his
remaining companion, Dan J?awaa,
c;.me to the conclusion that the men
had failed to reach the shore by swim
ming. They made a float of the boom
and gaff and all that was left of the
boat's gear and started. The current
cirr.ed tliem In the dlrectlno of Na
pllli. an 1 they were able to gradual
ly make lirelr way toward the shore.
When within half a mile of It they
discovered, to their consternatlot.
thai the current was setting against
them, r.nd that In spite of all their
efforss the? were drifting further
away this time in the direction of
Molokai. which seemed to them to be
.".boat 10 miles distant. They there
fore made up their minds to swim to-
'ward the shore of that island. Tin y
seemed to be making considerably
headway, and by sunset were( as near

miles from the shore.
They bad mi.oiillght until nc.i t
midnight, when the moon set. By
t iis time Dan I'awaa was becoming
eMhiiied. and could hardly keep
Himself afloat. 1 hereupon luvau
rh'.'He gave up the fivit to him en
tireiy, placiag him In t'.ie middle ut
it. and he himself swam without tlu.

about ."i'hi yards trom the shore of ;
liltie rocky Inlet, about a mile from
the Molokai coast, i'awaa was over
come wito erbautton and. bidding

later in reaching ihe rock und drag

bejc.nd tho reacM of the waves, wher,
he fell as'-c-p from exhaustion, not
awakening until past noon the nex;

shore, a mile away, and made his way
home.
When- h-j started on his swim h.'
had taken off his shirt, as It was a
hindrance In swimming, but hud lcept
his trousers on, so that the white
skin of his legs would not attract the

was terribly tormented while In thu

17 hours and swam a distance of be
