SCHOOL HOUSE
At Edgington Lane Totally Destroyed
Yesterday Afternoon by Fire---Aid
Sent from This City, Arrived to
To Late

The one-story frame school building
at Edgington Lane, three miles east of
the city on the National road, caught
fire about o'clock yesterday afternoon
and was burned to the ground. Tho
fire originated from furnace in the
cellar used for heating purposes. On
account of the very cold weather an
extra large fire was started in the fur
mace, which, soon became overheated.
The low rafters and braces were the
first to catch and when the fire was dis
covered the Guiding was blazing up in
several places.
The building is composed CT two
school rooms of good size, both of
which were filed with children at the
time the fire broke out. The teachers,
with the aid of several of the older
scholars, got all of the children cut Of
the building in safety and carried out
all movable articles. Everything else
in the building was destroyed by the
fire.
A call for aid was sent to this city
and the chemical No. was despatched
to tie scene with all possible speed.
The run was a long one and the horses
had all they could do to make the trip
in the deep snow. The effort proved
futile, for when the apparatus arrived
all that was left of the school house
was the charred ruins.
The loss is estimated at about $1,000

Wheeling and Syracuse have been
contending for their respective right
to the services of second baseman Ma
zena and short stop Woodlock, Who
were reserved by Springfield, and have
affixed their signatures to Syracuse
contracts Unable to reach an AMIGA
BILE agreement, the parties submitted
their case to the Supreme Judge Of
Base Balloon, President Young, OF the
National League. He transmitted his
ruling to the local management yester-
day. holding that the local manage
ment has the first claim upon the SER
vices of these players. Maizena, and
Woodlock are understood to be salts
fed to play here. They were dissatis-
fed with Springfield, in common With
all other members of the team.

attempt to bsiittle the playing ability

What it May Mean to the People of
Washington County.
WEISER THE OBJECTIVE POINT
The Survey from Lewiston to be Continued
Across Camas Prairie, up the Little
Salmon and Down the Weiser
to the Snake.

Il. A Clark, recently reelected
county surveyor Of Washington
county and for many years connected
with the Union Pacific Company as
locating and constructing engineer,
left Weiser by west bound train Sun
day morning last for Lewiston, Ed
Short and Newt Johnston, both well
known Weiser citizens going with
him.
Mr.. Clark was interviewed by the
SIGNAL man before leaving and in
response to enquiries he said:
eyes, l have accepted the position
recently offered me by the Northern
Pacific company and am now on NY
way north to assume its duties. l
was recently telegraphed for and have
waited here only long enough to at
ttend to private affairs which needed
looking after during my enforced
absence. No, l have no objection to
telling the SIGNAL readers what | be-
lieve to be the plans of the Northern
Pacific and the projected route o
the surver | am now about to un-
dertake. From Lewiston the route
will run up the Clearwater river,
across Camas Prairie to the Little
Salmon, from thence mp the Little

Spain's Sunken Ships Floated.

Perhaps the greatest mechanical feat Of

much debate and discussion; but good
only will result to the state by rea-
son Of it, for Joe will certainly rec
ognize all parties more equitable than
a partizan majority would. In the
House an hour was consumed by the
members in trying to make up their
minds whether to adjourn or stay in
session. The members are evidently
anxious to give full time as well as
their best labors to the states affairs
and it upsets their calculations to
find nothing available to expand their
energies on. Their time is coming
though, it is to the lower house the
people generally look for popular leg
islation.
Monday evening, Jan. 9th. Sun
day was passed by the members and
attaches very quietly. On the theory
that "Cleanliness is next to Godli-
ness, most went to church in the
forenoon, to the Natatorium in the
afternoon. Today, refreshed in body
and mind, almost all were in their
seats bright and early. The tele-
phone matter bobbed up again. Last
week as you will remember the offer
of the Telephone Company was re-
jected and the proposition killed
deader than salt mackerel, however
it refused to remain, as Mantallini
says, "a demd, wet, uncomfortable
body" and today was vigorously
championed and as vehemently op-
posed "Any overture coming from

snare" says one side. 'Corporations
are devine order, their officers all
angels says the other. 1t reminds
me of the little girl, who being told

noisy stiffness of the night was heard

offer was accepted after a close vote,
and now the members of both House

California and on to Sacramento.

before and in whom | have perfect

field"
To the SIGNAL readers it is not
necessary to point out the feasibility
of this route. If Mr.. Clark is cor
rect in his beliefs of the ultimate
destination of the Northern Pacific
extension which is now being under
taken and which is causing so much
excitement in railroad circles, then
the richest and most resourceful dis
trict in Idaho will soon be pouring
its great welath OF products into the
marts of the world, and in 30 doing
adding materially to the wealth OF
the above mentioned railroad system.
Everyone hereabouts knows how
productive the soil of Camas Pfai-
rie is, now in great part given over
as winter range for stock and sheep;
nor need we again at this time re- tell
the story of mineral wealth hidden
in the hills between Weiser and the
Clearwater; How from Mineral to
the great Buffalo Hump district,
quartz and placer diggings abound.
Mines that, though situated many
days from railroad, are yet ship
ping thousands Of dollars in precious
ores yearly. That by this railroad,
what we believe to be, from devel-
opments so far accomplished, the
richest and greatest copper camp in
the world will have its dreams real
lied, and the worlds necessities re-
leived Ivy a greater supply of this
most useful metal. But it is not
alone mineral wealth that will be 80
stimulated and developed. Forests
of pine timber are along the route,
by their availability no small item in
the cost Of construction, as well as d
permanent addition to the state 8
yearly products; and the excellence
OF the agricultural and horticultural
products of the Weiser valley, have
been demonstrated time and again in
fairs and exposilions, local, state and
national.
Then too it may be pointed out
that this line would be the main line
to the coast. The grade is easy and
the country so open and free from
heavy snow falls that seldom would
any delay occur to mail or passenger
traffic because Of heavy grades Oh
snow blockades. So easy the grade,
it may be mentioned that the head
waters of the Little Salmon and
Weiser rivers for some distance
flowing side by side it is difficult tt
determine where the divide falls away
in either direction For all Of these
reasons we believe this contemplated
extension should receive credence.
The SIGNAL has always believed il
and advocated the Weiser river route
as the only practicable and most nat
ural one for all reasons to the grea
northwest country. We have los
no opportunity of showing up tn
infeasibilty Of what is called TIN
Snake river route or indeed any othel
not using the natural grade up tn
Weiser river; and it is now, as it al
ways has been, ready to welcome tn
first company using these advantage
and helping in the developing 0
