of the st. Louis Chronicle, occupying the
three and four-stOry buildings at IA to

complete wreck and the typesetting ma
chimes, the stereotyping machines and
the whole fonts of>type in the advertis-
ing department of the paper are de-
stroyed. The presses, of which there
were three, are probably a total loss, as
also are the engines. Efforts are being
made to get out the edition as usual to-
day, assistance having been offered by
local papers.

gin as soon as possible.

Ne JUD1cE.

The grand ball given by the B.

of the most pleasing functions of
the holiday season, and far surpas-
sed any thing of It's kind given in
this city for many day.
An EXAMINER scribe was invited
in early during the afternoon to see
the hall. The decorations were
simply dazzling IN their splendor.
Beautiful evergreen fresh from the
mountains were used in profusion.
At the entrance of the hall lmmedi-
ately to the right of the door were
the initials "B. of L. E." At the
center on the same side was the
word 'tSobriety," and at the south
end was the word "Protection." :"
On the left side OF the hall were
the words .'Industry'' and "Chari-
ty::" There were in the .neighbor-
hood of 60 new switch lanterns in
red, green and plain color tastefully
displayed around the hall. A
great many signal flags arrayed IN
squares added greatly TO the pleas
antness of the decorations.
The dancers, which, by the way,
were very numerous, were all in
good hunlor and the costumes were
of the most interesting and peculiar
designs.

The Christmas Exercises of the
Presbyterian Sabbath School.

The Christmas Exercises of the
Presbyterian Sabbath School.
On Christmas Eve the children of
the Presbyterian Church enjoyed
their annual good time III celebrat-
ing Christmas. We think that we
can safely say that the exercises
were very much above the average.
They were not merely fun and
frolic, but full of good sense as
we'll as true enjoyment. There
were the usual carols and well
chosen recitations and IN addition
the beautiful pantomine +Annie
and Wlllie's prayer" Mr.. Hayes
Groo was the father, Miss Myrtle
Morris took the part of the aunt
and Ethel Mcintosh and Irene
Downing were Annie and Willie.
Miss Rich was the reader. The
difficulty in writing any commendaE
tion is found in the excellence OF
all the participants.
Santa Claus and his six dolls
were also an inter esting part Of th !
program. ClcVe Gee was the fornl
er and the six dolls were Mildred
Whitman, Una spongberg, Florence
Fleming, Irene Downing, Edna
Griffith and Margaret Bourne.
The choir rendered two beautiful
selections, seven prizes we're given
for perfect attendance or once alb
sent during the year, and the exer-
cises closed with the distribution of
candies apples and oranges. One
remar arkable feature of the program
was the perfect recitations of the
children. The music also was es-
pecially pretty and well sung.

Big Sales of Idaho Lands

General Passenger Agent Burley
of the Oregon Short Line is receiv-
ing reports fromthe company's land
agents IN Idaho, showing the extent
of their colonization. work during
the year 1900. They show remark
able results. One report which
came to hand yesterday from the
Short Lines representatives in q
region under one irrigation com
pany contains the name Of nintv
settlers and purchasers Of land, all
of whom have gone into Idaho from
points beyond that state and Utah
during the year. These cOlonists
have purchased in all total of z 7,9lG
acres Of land for farming in tracts
ranging from three acres to 200
acres. There are but two cases
where the settlers have taken the
last amount. The average number
of acres purchased by each is
eighty. The land costs on an aver.
age Of s25 an acre, and the sales by
this one agent therefore amount to
about $l65, 900.
1'This is but one of eighteen re-
ports to be made" said Mr.. Burley,
"'and Judge from those I have al
ready received that they are all on
par, or nearly SO. expect the sales
to average at least 5000 acres by
each agent, or 10000 acres for this
year. One of our men who is work
ing exclusively in Iowa and Mime
sofa handled go passengers for
Idaho. l am more than delighted
with the showing for 1900 and !
anticipate still better results next
year"
Mr.. Burley Is still wiling to
wager that the Idaho counties on
the Short Line will be trebled III
population before 1904.
