thing before it. AT Nampa the lower
part Of the town was partly submerged,
and the women and children had to be
taken to higher ground with teams
The wagon bridge went out and at last
accounts they expected the Boise central
II. II. bridge TO go. About half mile
Of the X. X. track above Nampa was
washed out. The people Of Nampa
notified Caldwell at once Of the coming
Hood and warned them TO get ready.
The news reached here about half past
two, but the water was so long coming
that some began think IL was sell, the
distance being only nine miles with an
average grade Of about 20 feet to the
mile, most Of the Merchants however
elevated their goods from the cellar to
the first floor, and every means was taxi
en- to secure the bridges.
The water did not arrive till after
shutdown and then we had lively time
for about ? hours. All the foot-bridges
went out at once but the wagon bridge
stood the pressure.
All the cellars were filed, and some
goods were lost grades were washed out
and the railroad track washed out in
two places, but we are not crying over
spilled milk. One young gent who
hadn't any milk to spill got a boat and
took his best girl and went rowing
down Main street.
Isidor Mayor had some tobacco and
canned goods damaged. Several fami-
lies moved away from the vicinity of
the creek and stopped over night with
friends.
Merchants are busy to day getting the
water out of their cellars.
Telephone communication with Nam
pa is cut off and this is the terminus of
the. railroad at present. A car goes
back to Huntington to day to bring up
supplies for the passengers.
Damage to property is quite serious
both in Nampa and Caldwell, but nc
lives lost.
There will be a probable demand now
for the creation Of another fat Office FOR
the taxpayers to keep up--a state in.
spector Of eservoirs-similar to Tho
state Inspector Of boilers.
The passenger train arrived about the
the time the force of the flood struck
the town, while the business houses were
closed and saloons locked up. Some Of
the passengers thought it was an awful
dry town. Mud to-day everywhere

A WONDERFUL PLACER MACHINE

A. b. Stctson and John Wallace came
up several days ago from Boise and re-
turned Sunday. They were here TO see
about letting a contract for 100 cords of
wood TO be delivered in May. They ex-

that month. Mr.. Stetson is supcrnten-

manufactures these machines. They
are not an experiment but are now be-

miles above the mouth of Snake. This
one is clearing si30 per day. One Of
these machines will work one cubic yard
Of sand or gravel per minute. The dirt
is lifted and thrown into the machine
by means Of what is termed dipper.
This works a distance of six feet into a
bank before the machine requires NOV

moved up ready to renew operations, in
two minutes. An the running expenses

Views of n Recognized Authority.

From Printers Ink.
In Importance in Washington The Star
comes first and Is probably not only the
most conspicuous and prosperous daily in
Washington, but is without doubt the best
newspaper in the United States. In point
of circulation it is not reached by any
other evening paper that is sold for more
than one cent anywhere in America. The
circulation of The Star is confined almost
exclusively to Washington. 1t is claimed
for it. and probably truthfully claimed,
that no other newspaper in the country
goes into 50 large a percentage of all the
houses within u radius of twenty miles
from the Office OF publication.
The Star has enjoyed unprecedented
prosperity Tor twenty-five years. and is
one of the very few papers that hau failed
TO advance its advertising rates in propor-
ton to its growth in circulation, influence
and popularity with the community in
which ii Is issued.
Considering its character, influence and
circulation, it's advertising rates are ex-
ceedingiy low, being matched in this re-
spect by no more than TWO or three news
papers issued in other sections. The ella Sc
of advertising 1t carries is of the best
The value of this paper to an advertiser
all things considered, and taken in con-
ncction with the comparative cost of adj
vertising in it, places il not lower down
than third in a list of all the best daily
papers published in the United States and
in making out such list a well-informed
advertiser will have great difficulty in de-
Gliding upon even so small a number as
two to place in advance of The Star He
may even fail to Tx upon one.

SCORES OF HOUSES BURNED.
A Disastrous Fire in n Little Maine
Village.

The little village of Norway, Maine, was
visited yesterday by a most disastrous fire.
Every store, the dwellings and the other
buildings on Main street were crumbled to
ashes. and the total loss will amount to
half million dollars. The fire broke out
about O'Clock yesterday afternoon in Cum
mings furniture factory, across the river
from the village, and before it could be
subdued had jumped the stream, set fire to
the opera house and communicated to
neighboring buildings.
Norways only method of fighting flames
was with hand engine, and this had no
eject on the fire whatever 1t was soon
seen that the whole town was threatened
and aid was summoned from LewistoWn
and Portland.
1t was an hour before engines from the
cities could reach the scene of the conha-
Sratlon, and by that time all buildings on
Main street mad been burned to the ground
Merchants on the street made frantic eff
forts to save their stocks, and in some cases
were successful, but the flames spread so
rapidly that it was impossible to save much.
SeVenty-two dwelling houses including
homes of all the prominent merchants and
professional men, were burned, and hun
dreds of people were forced to flee from
their houses. leaving everything to the mer-
cy of the fire.
AT midnight mothers were hunting for
children and children for mothers while a
reIief committee, which had been organized
oy citizens, was aiding the authorities in
providing quarters for the homeless and
caring for the injured. Several cases of at
tempted robbery have been reported
