Growers Reserve on Fire.

The atmosphere is very smoky at
present, due to forest fires now
raging. For several days huge
clouds of smoke have been rolling
over the Priest Lake range of
mountains, indicating that. a great
fire was raging in that direction.
The fire seems to be in the Priest
Lake forest reserve, set aside by
Cleveland before he retired from
office. 1t will probably destroy
more timber within a few weeks
than the hand of man would de-
stroy in twenty-five years. If the
government would do more toward
protecting the forests from destruc-
ton by fire, and less toward prose
cutting settlers for cutting timber,
it would accomplish more good.

The Kaiser House Closed.

The Kaiser house was closed to
the public last Wednesday morn
ing. The hotel is now without
tenant, but will remain closed but
a few days, as there are a number
of parties who wish to lease it.
The Kaiser house has been run
under the name of the Beeler hotel
for nearly two years, Mr.. J. P.
Beeler being the landlord. Mr..
Beeler also conducted an extensive
logging business, and, like nearly
everyone else who handled logs last
season, lost money. He became in
volved in financial troubles and it
became necessary for him to retire
from the hotel business.
There are few who do not regret
"Joe" Beeler's misfortunes, for he
gave employment to a large num-
Der of men, was free with his
money, and was goodhearted to a
fault. Mr.. Beeler says that if he is

owing him than he owes to others

Regarded with Disfavor.

Mr.. James Egan was taken to
Rathdrum Friday to appear before
Judge McBee to answer to charge
of selling liquor without license.
The charge was preferred by the
sheriff, or one of his deputies.
Mr.. Egan is an exemplary citi-
zen, man of family and indus
trious habits. He was employed at
the Beeler house as cook, and his
arrest is a result of the Beeler fail
ure. Mr.. Egan was not in fact the
responsible party when the liquor
was sold, and to arrest him and
drag him off to Rathdrum, and
away from his family, for the pur-
pose of trying to get at another
party, as seems to be the case, is
regarded with much disfavor here
at home, where the affair is best
understood.
The specific offense for which Mr.
Egan was arrested was in stepping
behind the bar, while serving toe
house as cook, and dealing out
some liquor TO James Judge, dep
uty sheriff, and receiving into The
money till of the bar pay for the
liquor, the Beeler license having
expired few days previous. Thu
bar had been kept open, but wa
not run by Mr.. Egan.

How they Bury at Klondyke.

When a miner dies his comrades
cut sepulchre in the ice and de-
post the remains. They next cover
them with the fragments of ice
taken out in the cutting, and then
pour water over these, which soon
freezes, leaving the dead encased in
a clear, crystal casket. Every day
the miners can look upon their
dead, and, as the ice never melts,
the generations to come can look
upon the remains of those buried

The First TransvsaI Paper.

journalism in the Transvaal dates
less than half century back. The first
paper published there appeared between
1850 and 1860, probably i'll 1858. 1t
was called De Dude Emigrant, and the
editor, printer and publisher was a
Cape Colony Dutchman, one Cornelius
Mol. 1t was issued at Potchefstroom,
which, although most of our contempt
raries seem, unaware of the fact, was
then and still is the capital of the South
African Republic although Pretoria is
the seat of government. The paper,
which was short lived, was single
demisheet printed on both sides, and
its reports were personally carried to
the office on horseback by the more en-
terprising and educated of the old voor-
trekkers Westminster Gazette.

His Criticism.

A good story is told concerning Presi-
dent George b. Roberts of the Pennsyl-
yania railroad in connection with an
INSPECTION tour over the lines Of the
company. The inspection party was
riding over one of the branch lines of
one of the numerous divisions of the big
system, accompanied by the superin-
tendent of the division. The branch
happened to be an exceptionally crooked
one. and as the superintendent was
chatting with President Roberts the car
made sudden lurch going around one
of the sharp curves, which led the SUI
perintendent to remark to his chief that
'the engineer who built this branch
knew d--n little about engineering.
With a merry twinkle in his eye, the
president replied, Eyes, that is so. But
was very young when l located the
road and know better now" The su-
perintendent was completely discounted
by this reply, not having been aware
that the then president of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad had when quite young
man located and done the engineering
work thereon. President Roberts, Oh
the other hand, took this somewhat Sc
we're criticism On his early work as u

One Eyed Giants.

Sir John Vaudeville saw all sorts OF
queer things and wrote about them in
his celebrated book of travels. 1t was
in 1886 that the veracious John visited
a certain group of isles (yles he called
them) which was inhabited by race
of one eyed giants. OF them he says:
"In one Of these yles ben folk of CRATE
stature, as giantes, and they been hide
GUS for to loke upon. An thei han but

He also tells of another one OF these
"yles" inhabited by race of one legged
dwarfs, each having three eyes.
