STATESMAN.
Spring sown grain is coming up
nicely and will get good start
before irrigation becomes necessary.

commence in few days, the right
of way having been secured.
Employment will be given to a
large number of men and teams.
The school district at Mountain
Home will build a $1,000 school
house if the patrons and tax pay

issuing bonds to that amount.
Some very fine horses are in
training for the July races, owned

ketchum was visited by disas-
trous fire last Sunday. An entire
block was laid in ashes and the loss
will reach 1900. The fire started
in Ottenheimer's saloon, on Main
street, and in little while the
flames communicated with other
buildings adjoining, and before the
fire was put out all the buildings
in the row except Gillette e. Evans,
were in ashes. The KEYSTONE,
with commendable enterprise,
issued an extra giving full particu-
lars Of the fire, one of which is
received at the Statesman Office.
A report was in circulation last |
week that Ed Phillips had died at
Mountain Home. The Statesman
of Tuesday copied from the Atlanta
News the report of his death. 1t
now turns out that his reported
death, was a cruel fabrication, and
that Phillips is not only not dead
but is alive and in good health.
How or by whom such a report
was put in circulation is not known
but he must be a heartless wretch
who would knowingly give circula-
to such a report knowing it to be
false. The Statesman is glad to be
able to publish that the report was
false and that Phillips is alive and
we'll.
