The Mountain Fires.

The fire in the timber south Of town
had been gradually spreading and draw
ing near to the settlements on the foot
hills for the past month. On Friday
last stiff wind was blowing from the
southwest and the settlers all day long.
with the assistance of parties from
Grangeville and Mt. Idaho, fought the
fire, which was threatening the proper.
ties Of Jo Cash and Mrs. Eastman. The
fires in this neighborhood were got un-
der control about niQhtfall Friday even
ing, and then commenced fight to save
the mill property of w. W. Bowman.
About dozen men from Grangeville
and Mt. Idaho were on the ground to
assist the local settlers and all night
long the war against the devouring
flames was kept up. 1t was found that
the best way to fight FIRE was with fire.
and back-fres were started, which ma
teIally aided in checking the flames.
At one time. about three o'clock Satur-
day morning, it looked as though the
mill property was doomed. On the
west side of Three Mile creek was SOL
i'd mile of fire, with the flames rising
forty and fifty feet high, while the air
was filed with flying cinders and blaz-
ing brands. At one time the old shop
at the mill took fire from flying sparks,
but one or two buckets of water extin-
guished the fame. Just as the morn
ing began to dawn the advance of the
fire at this point was checked and the
only point in immediate danger was the
property of Greene Dallas. The fire
was got under control at this point Sat-
urday morning.
The work of fighting the fire was rem
dered doubly hard by the stiff wind,
which carried sparks distances of from
a quarter to half mile, where they
would ignite and spread. Sunday
morning the welcome rain came aud
extinguished the fires.
No houses we're burnt, but the timber
that was destroyed will be a severe loss
to the next generation, if not to this.

$500 PER YEAR.

A short talk with Governor Shoup
yesterday elected the information that
the reports from the various mining
centers of the Territory warrant the
conclusion that Idaho's contribution to
the output of gold and silver bullion
this year will be at least $4,000, 900.
The Governor also said that approxi-
mate estimates based upon information
received from various sources make it
appear that between one-half and two
thirds of the entire timbered area of
the Territory has been burned over by
the forest fires. All the timber within
this burnt area has not been destroyed,
as many Of the larger trees would nat
urally escape with slight scorching,
but the statement suffices to show the
extent Of the damage. .-dato Statesman.

The work of decorating the hall Of the pen-
sion building is being pushed forward so rapidly
that il is expected that the finishing touches
win be put on by tomorrow night The fronts
Of the galleries are covered with decorations.
and the streamers are suspended from the
roof. The large pillars are still bare and there
is great deal of the detail work still to be
done. OF course, the flowers will not be put in
place until later date. Col. Swords, the sec
Rotary Of the inaugural committee, who has
charge of the pension building as the repre-
sentative Of the committee, was found to-day in
the hall watching the progress of the work
he said that everything was going on smoothly,
and that the hall would be in readiness for the
night of the ball. II is thought that the
decorations will be considered finer than on
any previous occasion. and from what is de-
veioped OF the plan at present, the members Of
the committee believe that this part of the in
augural preparations will be a success.

The room that will be occupied by the Presi-
dent when he comes to the ball is now being
decorated by Mr.. Wash. B. Williams. This
room is the one occupied by the commissioner
OF pensions and the walls are covered by the
decorator with garnet plush. A kind of
fringe OF old gold plush extends around the
room, while the hangings over the doors and
VS. are oi oio goid ana oiue plush. Ihe
furniture, which is very rich, corresponds in
color with the wall decorations. The entire
decoration Is handsome, and when the room is
brilliantly lighted the effect will be striking
and somptuous. The room adjoining on the
west will be set apart for the use OF the ladies
accompanying the President The rooms adj
JOINING on the east will be occupied by the
