HAY.

BJNVs
Ed. TR1BUNE.-A brief review of
the hay market may be. of some
interest to many of your readers.
The crop throughout the valley is
considered q good average by most
of the farmers, as to quantity, but
the long continued June rains de.
layed the first cutting very materi.
ally. Timothy and clover espsci.
ally being most damaged. In the
great hay raising belt, between
Middleton and Star, the hail storm
was so heavy that most of the hay
already cut was rendered unfit for
any use except for feeding stock
cattle, and for that purpose is con-
sidered by some to be no better
than straw. One man estimated
his loss by the storm at 1000.
Those who have given the subject
careful consideration estimate the
amount of hay damaged, at some
thing over 1000 tons. This dam
aged hay is considered good enough
to feed to stock during the winter.
Since the starting of the second
crop the grasshoppers have in.
vaded this region in vast numbers
and have damaged the second
growth of red clover and alfalfa
considerably, which will result in
making the aggregate crop between
Caldwell and Boise City, of first
class hay, considerably short. The
report of the crops west of Cald-'
well show an increase of good hay
over the product of last year. The
June rains were not so damaging
in this district and the hail storm
missed it entirely. The surplus
will hardly make up for
the deficiency heretofore mentioned.
The demand for hay the coming
six months will depend upon sew
eral conditions. If the winter
should be severe it will require a
large amount of hay to save the
stock. If. it should be mild and
beef cattle are in demand much Of
it will be fed for beef. The amount
Of hay in the country if carefully
fed out is no doubt sufficient to
winter all the stock even should
the winter be severe. But if a
large number of beef steers are fed,
as there was last winter, the supply
would probably run short aud hay
run up to a high price as it did
last spring.
The prospects at present for a
better price for beef this winter,
are good. Beef is higher east, and
the demand on this coast is increas-
ing annually, faster than the supply.
If farmers do not get a better price
It will be because of combinations
against them.
There still seems to be some
difference of opinion as to whether
i pays to feed beef steers in this
valley. Some claim that it is
better TO sell the hay as low as IS |
per ton rather than feed. Ono
esder reports that he realized 80 |
! ton for his hay last winter by |
eeding it. Another claims that |
10 il easilv realized by feeding to
larry cows and selling butter. No
loubt both these parties are correct,
where good management is exer-
Used. Under these conditions the
rice of hay ought to be easily
egulated on a paying basis.
The crops in some of the
ounties east of us seem to be
good. Farmers in Cas-
ia county are advertising stock
ay at four dollars per ton, but

amount to be fed to sheep the COM
ing winter is likely to be largely
increased. While the number OF
beef steers is less the number OF
stock cattle is greater. The con-
clusion therefore seems fair that ii
hay is not too high it will all be
consumed and at price that will
be remunerative to the farmer.
CENTER POINT, Aug. 26. W.
About noon on Wednesday last,
says the Wardner News, a fearful
explosion of giant powder in the
Black Bear mine on Canyon creek
has added to the list of accidents
tragedy as yet unequalled in horror
in the annals of Ceur d'Alens min
ing. Four boxes containing about
200 pounds ofdynamite were stored
in drift and it is thought that
some men in moving same to the
magazine further in the tunnel set
off a portion of the powder and the
shock exploding all the boxes con-
tanned. This caused the caving in
of about thirty feet of the face of
the tunnel imprisoning in a living
tomb the following men who were
at work: G. A. McNeal, superin
tendent of the property, William
Janse, Tom Blackburn and Alex
ander Barron. On hearing the ex-
plosion a large number of miners
inethe vicinity fastened to the spot
and succeeded in getting near
enough to the imprisoned miners to
hail them. Replying to the que
ries concerning their safety Mr..
Mcneil said: 1--WE are all right,
but for Gods sake make haste az
we cannot stand this gas" There
were fully a hundred men on the
scene and they worked like beavers
each man taking his turn at the
pick and shovel. 1t was just four
hours and and fifty-five minutes
after the accident occurred until the
bodies were recovered. They were
still warm and devoid of scars or
bruises, proving conclusively that
death had been from suffocation
from the carbonic acid gas caused
by the explosion.

AN NALARM OF FIRE.
1t Causes Much Uneasiness at the
Presitlent's Reception.

1t Causes Much Uneasiness at the
President's Reception.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-During the white
house reception yesterday word was cir
culated through the rooms that Secre-
tary Blaine's house was on fire. General
alarm was manifested at the report as it
was supposed that the entire diplomatic
corps were Secretary Blaine's guests at
breakfast at the time. Messengers were
dispatched to the scene and general relief
was experienced at their report that all
was we'll at Mr.. Blaine's residence, and
that his guests were at that moment in
full enjoyment of his hospitality
The story originated from the fact that
the house built by Mr.. Blaine, but occu-
pied BY Mr.. Letter, Of Chicago, was on
| fire.
The reception was interrupted tor a
short time only by this incident and there
was presented in rapid succession the re-
gents and secretary of the Smithsonian
institution, the civil service commission
ers, the interstate commerce commission,
the assistant secretaries of the depart
ments, the assistant postmaster general,
the solicitor general, assistant attorney
general, commissioner of labor, heads OF
bureaus of the several departments and
the president and officers of the Colum-
bia institute for the deaf and dumb, the
associated veterans OF the war, the
Grand Army of the Republic, and the
members of the Oldest inhabitants asso.
citation of the District of Columbia.
Senators Hiscock and Blackburn were
among later comers. The former
was accompanied by Collector Erhardt
of New York.
The doors were thrown open to tn,
public at 1890. The general attendanc,
was large, considering the bad weather
and the reception lasted until nearly
o'clock. When the last person hadpassec
through the president and Mrs. Harrison
and about twenty invited guests pro
ceeded to the second floor and partool
of a luncheon.
The damage to Mr.. Blaine's house i
estimated at SIS, 600, which is fully III
sured. Mr.. Letters loss will not excee
$4,000, not insured.

And others Were Terribly In
iured.
LONDON, Jan. 2 Terrible scenes were
witnessed at school fete In Wortley,
near Leeds, last night.
The fete referred to was a charity
bazar. Apart of the program was series
of tableaux vivants in which a number
of Young girls and boys took part.
At the right of the stage was tenn
porary dressing room. In this just be-
fore the disaster was crowd of Joyous
children, all the girls of the party being
in gauzy attire. Several of them carried
lighted Chinese lanterns dangling on
sticks above their heads.
Suddenly shrieks of terror issued from
the little room and all were horror
stricken to see number of the children
rush upon the stage with their costumes
on fire. Gentlemen promptly seized the
burning children and smothered the
flames.
Up to the present, four deaths are re-
corded as result of the disaster and
several injured. Children are not ex-
pected to recover.
An investigation into the cause of the
disaster shows that one of the little girls
playing with a lighted lamp acciden-
tally set fire to her clothes.
She rushed towards the door leading to
the stage. Her cry and the sight of the
flames caused panic among the other
children who also made rush for the
door. The result was that the crowd oi
children crushed around the child whose
clothes were already in flames and there
by ignited the clothing of twenty OF
thirty other children.
