There will be no inquest, the coroner stated today. He eliminated the element of criminal negligence. Hope of finding the three missing victims dwindled today. An army of laborers are still working. If the bodies were swept past the lower track, they will be unable to recover them for months. The missing are Mrs. Fern Wallace and baby, Lyon, Wn.; Ralph Batterman, aged 8. Three bodies of the Batterman family have been recovered. Mrs. Batterman is at an Everett hospital with a son, aged 6 years.

DEMOCRATS WILL GATHER AT BOISE STATE CHAIRMAN PENCE HAS CALLED STATE COMMITTEE MEETING FOR MARCH 6th

Committee Will Fix Time and Place For State Convention—Twin Falls Formidable Contender

Idaho democrats will gather at Boise on March 6th, according to a call reaching Moscow from Chairman J. T. Pence, of the democratic state central committee, urging the members of the committee to be present for the purpose of fixing the date for the state convention for selecting delegates and alternates to the next democratic national convention to be held at St. Louis.

Nothing is known of the plans of the committee and whether the committee will adopt the plank in the democratic national platform calling for the designation of a national committeeman by primaries. It is expected a keen contest will develop in this respect, rumors being current that R. H. Elder, present national committee man, is to be shelved and a new man put in his place.
