A Destructive Fire.

Sunday evening, about Z o'clock,
the fine residence of Geo. p. Hall,
on Atlanta avenue in this place, was
totally destroyed by fire, with all
its contents--not one article being
saved from the flames. Mrs. Hall
had a short time before the discov-
cry of the fire gone to church, and
Mr.. Hall, after feeding his team, was
on his way from the stable to visit
with George Crandal, but the cry of
fire caused him to hastily retrace
his steps. An outside door was
forced open but owing to the intense
smoke and heat it was impossible
for any one to enter. Realizing that
no human efforts could save the
building, the assembled crowds at
tention was given to the protection
of A. w. Lockman's dwelling house,
the nearest building. In short
space of time the comfortable home
was reduced to ashes and Mr.. and
Mrs. Hall were left without even a
change of clothing.
A burning lamp was left on a
table in the kitchen, and as the at
tention of Mrs. Wilcox, who was
passing on her way to church, was
attracted toward the Inflated house
by a suppressed report, it is sup
posed that the conhagration was
caused by the explosion of the burn
ing lamp.
Mr.. Hall estimates the value of
the house and furniture at $4,000;
insured in the Hartford for 50, 400
Notes amounting to about $500 and
$40 in money also went up in smoke.
Mr.. Hall informs us that he will

The Right Stuff.

Weiser Signal
Mcconnell keeps up his political
character by jumping up with a
whoop and constituting the appoint
ment of county attorneys to be
prerogative of the governor, and
thereupon proceeding to appoint
goldbug republican in each county
lowell, you can guess why. For
Washington county he named John
w. Ayres. He was probably under
some delusion, because Ayres is one
of the long standing republicans
who, with Tom Galloway and others
have Joined the Democratic party
since election. When Ayers re-
ceived notification of the appoint
ment, he Immediately sent the fol-
lowing reply:
WEIsER, Idaho, Dec 30, 1896.
Gov. Mcconnell, Boise, Idaho:-
Through the public press and after
wards by letter from your office, |
am informed that you have taken
the liberty to use my name as an
appointee to the office of attorney
for this Washington county. This
is surprise to me for two reasons
first. never asked for or wanted
the office, and second, | am at a
loss to know from legal stand
point where you get your authority
to make this appointment. If such
authority be vested in the executive
by any reasonable construction that
may hereafter be given our laws and
constitution, it would seem to me to
be the part of deceucy to relegate
this duty to your successor, who
will in a few days have assumed the
duties of office, and under whose
regime, as chief executive, | would
exercise the duties of the trust, in
the event of my accepting it.
Thinking that | fully realize the
motive underlying this and other
appointments at the eleventh hour
of your tenure of office, my con
science will not allow me to counte
nance it by being a party to such
political chicanery, not to speak o
the objectionable discourtesy to thu
incoming Governor. 1t is will
pleasure that | wash my hands 0
the appointment. and hereby tender
this as my resignation for said office
With gold mist and financia
cloud of disaster and remorse hang
ing over our country, have tn
honor to remain, JNo. w. AYREs.

For Our Business Men,


The second number of the Gold
Creek News, bearing date of Dec.
81, is at hand, and it is an interest
Ing and ably edited paper. Among
its local columns we find an article
that is of Importance to the BUSH
ness men of Mountain Home, also
to the ranchers and fruitgrowers Of
Bruneau valley. 1t is relative to
the building of a good wagon road
from this place to Gold Creek and
the diverting of trade from the Gen.
trail Pacific railroad to the Short
Line railway. The News says:
THE attention of the people of
Mountain Home, Idaho, needs only
be called to the improvements go
ing' on here to show wherein they
can greatly benefit themselves.
A. B. Clark Of that place, in con-
versation " it'll the writer, was quite
sure that the only feasible route
into Gold Creek was up the Bru-
neau. If the road up that river is
so much better than the almost
level one to Elko it will take very
little work to make it boulevard.
Gold Greek now has as good a wagon
road outlet as any mining camp
could desire. Mr.. Corey, who also
came in by the way of Mountain
Home, says that the road is very
good one. The trouble is that it is
not kept open at this season of the
year, and goes around by Mountain
City, a total distance of 125 miles.
BY building directly up the Bruneau
across the Diamond A desert good
road can be had that would be open
all winter, and the distance short
ened some % or 80 miles. This is
matter che people of Mountain
Home should look into, for it prob
ably concerns them more than any
one else. The towns of Nampa and
Caldwell have been built up chiefly
through their being the railway
points for the mines of Silver City
and De Lamar. Mountain Home
has the opportunity to make tribu-
tary to itself a much richer terri
tory than even those famous Owy-
bee camps. No doubt the cooper
alton Of the people near the mouth
of the Bruneau and along Snake
river could be obtained. A road
from Mountain Home could have
the choice of four ferries, and the
rivalry for the Gold Creek trade
would cut an important part. There
is. also under the Brunean canal as
fine stretch of agricultural land as
can be found in the west. Snow
seldom falls there. The peaches
grown at Halls ferry rival those of
California. Those people at present
are almost without a market. Their
only hope is to establish communi-
cation with Gold Creek. 1t would
be an easy days drive for farmer
to come up here from his Bruneau
ranch with load of produce. 1t
is not too early to take up the mat
ter of building a road at once in
order to be ready for the spring
business. Let Mountain Home
take the lead and Gold Creek will
lend a helping hand"
