A Gard from Nlr. Lyons.
To the Editor of the Standard.

To the Editor of the Standard:
In your issue of the 10th inst there
appeared a communication from the
Livingston correspondent of the Stand
ard which held me and my opinions up
to ridicule. If the circulation of the
Standard was restricted to Livingston
an answer would be unnecessary, but
when the wide circulation of your sheet
is considered, however l owe it to my
self and my friends to notice the gar
bled version of my remarks
But / must protest against your cor
respondents gross misrepresentation of
socialism. / did say that L expected to
see but one more salaried president
elected, and that probably Mckinley
would be the man. But when the cor
respondent credits me with saying that
II Mckinley don't resign we II throw
him out and put in some one we want"
he errs. and the language he ascrlbes to
me is in direct opposition to one of the
fundamental principles of the soclalistic
propoganda-the principle of advance
ment by education as opposed to force
Another misstatement in regard to
the cooperative ideas which are in prac-
teal operation at Tennessee City i'm
plies that those who enter the colony
now will enjoy privileges not accorded
those who join later. The cornerstone
of socialism is cooperation and perfect
ways have been and always will be cor
daily welcomed. There is joy over
one sinner who repenteth, more than
over ninety and nine just men who need
no repentance"
The statement of your special cor
Respondent concerning my fathers rain
making machine, that the government
had been given the first right to the
invention; otherwise the colony would
be given the right, and thus would con-
troll the clouds above as well as the
earth beneath" is not much further
from the truth than he sometimes gets.
and his partial description of the ma
chine itself is as accurate as one could
fairly expect from a man totally ignor-
ant of the very first principles of cleo
trio science.
1t is my intention to join the Ruskin
Cooperative association of Tennessee
City, Tenn, but the correspondent miss
es it again when he says l wish to sell
my ranch 1t is only the improvements
and personal property that 1 wish to
sell, as / have but a squatter's right to
the land, and i am not in the tremen-
dous hurry to get rid Of my possessions

cessful grubbing to raise the neces-
sary $780,

per's special correspondent has running
through IL a slender wire of truth of
scarcely enough tensile strength to sup
port the insulation of falsehood which
he has placed about IL, and prevent it's
falling to the ground of its own weight,
but still sufficient to create misappre-
hension in the minds OF those unfamil-
lar with the subject we We're discuss

BIG FIRE AT BURKE
The Tiger and POOrman Concentrations
Were Totally Destroyed.

Hoist and Compressor Saved by
Gallant Citizens The
Loss is over

MINES CAN BE KEPT DRY

Burke, Idaho. special to the Spokane
Spokesman Review: The concentra-
tors OF the Tiger and Poorman Consol-
idated company are in ruins. About 2
O'Clock this morning the engineer In
the Tiger works saw fire I'm the ceiling
over the boilers. An alarm was given
Immediately and the fremen responded
promptly, but the buildings were
doomed. There were tramways con-
Meeting the building where the fire
started with both concentrators, up
which the fire ran like mad. Both con-
centrators caught before the water was
turned on. 1t soon became evident that
the concentrators could not be saved
and the firemen turned all their atten-
ton TO saving the other buildings. Just
above the Tiger concentrator stood the
compressor. hoist and building. The
whole town people worked like Trojans
and saved them, but how they don't
know. and men not there can't under
stand. The hoist and the compressor
caught several times each, but were as
often extinguished. Two Northern Pa
cific cars stood against the Tiger com
pressor and both burned.
Had the hoist and compressor gone
the damage would have been twice as
great, as the mine would have been
Hooded. Now the boilers will
be attached to the pumps and the
hoist operated by water power and the
pumps set TO bailing. They can bail
500 gallons a minute and pump 200 cas-
lily. keeping the mine dry.
The loss can hardly be more than
guessed yet. Mr.. Culberson thought IL
was In the neighborhood OF 800 900
The insurance is $4,000 in the Ameri-
can, Newark. -. j., CALIFORNIAN. Edin-
burgh. Scotland; Manchester. Manches-
ter. England. All the buildings were
heavily insured and the loss is d!strib-
uted among a large number Of com
panies, none losing much. All the ma
chinery In both concentrators and
hoist are ruined except two boilers,
which may be good. The management
viii try to attach them To the pumps.
The company is not dismayed by the
loss. but this morning found men clear
ing the ground to rebuild under the
directions OF Mr.. CulbersOn and Harry
Glidden. The same hour Fraser x
Chalmers had been wired and had men
on the way 10 make plans and est
mates for the new concentration. on
which work will be pushed as rapidly
as possible. The burned mills had a
capacity ct 600 tons per day and the
new one will have the same. Ii will
probably require six months TO get
them in running order.
The Tiger mill was built In 1857 and
the POOorman in lSSS on two Of the
first silver-lead claims located in the
Occur d'Alenes. and which have been
running most ~ the time since. The
two companies were consolidated Oct

sidered among the best mines in this

A birthday Surprise.

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Bozeman, March H.-On Thursday last,
when Miss Helen Clute, one of the teach
ers in the public schools here. went to
dinner she happened to remark to Mrs.
Fred r. Fletcher with whom she has
made her home ever since coming to Boze-
man, that it was her birthday. After
Miss Clute had returned to school Mrs.
Fletcher called in Mrs. F. b. Hastings
and the afternoon was given to prepara-
tons for a little surprise with which TO
greet Miss Clute that evening. During the
evening a number of friends assembled
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Fletcher,
among these being DIR. and Mrs. j. NJ.
Waters. Professor and Mrs. w. L. Har-
mon, Rev. and Mrs. Davis Wilson, Mr..
and Mrs. e. b. Hastings. Mrs. f. w.
Traphagen, Mrs. Peter Koch, Mrs. Cowan,
Mrs. ]. f. Boyles, Miss Pierson, Z. C.
Fletcher and President Reid. After all
had paid their respects TO the amiable
and attractive young teacher, President
Reid of the agricultural college stepped
forward, holding in his hand a covered
basket over which laid a clean white nap
kin. He presented this to Miss Clute with
extensive and humorous remarks ending
by hoping that the contents of the basket
would be to her a comfort and a solace in
her old age. Lying asleep in the bottom of
the basket was a young kitten. Rev. Da-
Wis Wilson then, addressing Miss Clute,
gave an original poem in his usual drol
and witty manner, and in conclusion
drew from his coatail pocket an elabo-
rately rufiied nightcap, which he also
presented to the charming public in
structress. Another original poem, writ
ten for the occasion by sdrs. j. L. Boyles,
was then read by DR. Waters, treating
uron the attractive personality Of the de-
lghtful young lady whom they had met
to honor. 1t was entitled "a Bundle OF
Switches" and was the excuse for the
presentation of bundle of 2 switches.
