ARE ROENTGEN RAYS MATERIAL:
Mr.. Tesla Says He is Now Sure That
They Are.

They Are.
Although the consensus of scientific
opinion ut the present time, both in this
country and in Europe, tends to the be-
lief that the rays partake of the nature
of ultra violet light, yet no less an
authority than Nikola Tesla advances n
dramatically opposed theory; namely
that the Roentgen rays are due to a
molecular bombardment of material par
ticles moving with very great velocity.
Tesla bases his theory on many expert
ments, which to him appear crucial, ex-
hlbiting phenomena incapable of explain
alton on an ultra violet light basis He
further states that he believes the ma
terial particles composing the lombard
ment stream are in some elementary con-
dition not heretofore known, and that
perhaps the rays may consist of streams
of the ether of the physicist.

The Spotter.

A special dispatch from Pocatello
to the Statesman last Thursday
said:
Geo. RI. Storer, the we'll known
druggist of Idaho Falls, was tried
at Blackfoot to-day in the probate
court for unlawfully selling liquor
without a license. The jury rem
dered decision of not guilty. Sid
Roberts, Deputy United States Mar
shall, was the prosecuting witness.
So it appears that the unprinci-
pied and notorious Republican spot
ter Sid Roberts is still in the EN-
ploy of U. s. Marshal Crutcher, not
withstanding the protest of numer-
GUS Democrats in Gilmore over a
year ago. The Idaho Falls Times
of Friday expresses its opinion Of
Roberts and all his kind in the fol-
lowing plain language.
The case against the drug store
of G.. H. Storer came up for trial
before Judge Stevens at Blackfoot
on Tuesday. The jury rendered a
verdict in favor of the defendant.
The above defendant was charged
by spotter with selling intoxica~
ting liquors without license. The
aforesaid spotter hung around here
several days putting in time en-
deavoring to induce the drug stores
of the town to sell him drink.
How well he succeeded, the result
of the trial discloses without further
note. 1t has been truly said that
the Almighty hates a coward, and
it has been intimated that this class
of humanity is the only one He
truly and cordially hates. We sub
NIT however that there is another
class which has been missed by the
all seeing eye--a class which can
give the stalwart coward many
points in despicable and contempti-
BILE meanness and want of principle
and beat him out of sight, and that
is the spotter. 1t is safe to say,
however, that whatever may be the
opinion of the ruler of the universe
on the latter class of scalawags,
mankind is unanimous in pronoun-
cling the professional spotter the
most degraded of all.

Destructive Blaze.

Saturday night about 1915 Con-
stable Rinehart observed smoke is
suing from the roof of l.. t. Wilcox's
large storehouse in his lumber yard.
Rinehart broke open door and
found the rear end of the building
all ablaze. He gave alarm, as also
did Deputy Sheriff Easlev, but at
the same time was Thoughtful enough
to drag out the desk containing
books and papers, which were saved
from destruction. The alarm soon
spread over town and it was not
long before a large number of peo-
pie were on the ground, but too late
to save the building or any of its
contents, composed of grain, paints,
oils, doors, windows, etc. The yard
adjoining was filled with all sorts of
lumber, shingles, etc, a small por-
ton of which was packed out of
danger, but the remainder was soon
enveloped in flames and it was inn
possible to combat them, without
even a bucket brigade in the town.
Hence in the short space Of an hour
or less Mr.. Wilcox lost property
amounting to about "a, 900, with no
insurance whatever.
Fortunately the wind was blow
from the west and the sparks en-
dangered only the residence of Robt.
Easley, the county Jail and the
court house, just east and across Ell
more street, but all escaped un
scorched. Had the wind prevailed
from the east the whole business
portion of our town would doubtless
have been reduced to ashes.
How the fire originated is mere
conjecture. No one believes it was
incendiary. yet there had been no
one in the building after dark, and
the only matches in the house were
in tin safe on the desk, and Mr..
Hubbell, the night Waterman for
the town, about ii o'clock tried all
the doors, as was his custom, and
found them securely locked.
Mr.. Wilcox will Immediately
commence a new building on the
old site and replenish his yard with
a good stock of lumber. He has
been living here only about one year
but by a straightforward and honor
able course he and his family have
gained the friendship and esteem of
all and the sympathy of this COM
munity in his loss.
J. B. Vermillion, carpenter, lost
his tool-chest and tools, which were
stored in the destroyed building,
and valued at about 800, and
which he could lily afford to lose.
Mr.. Wilcox requests the BULLE-
TIN to extend his sincere thanks to
those who SO kindly aided in saving
his property on the night of the fire.
