Harry syms, Soldier, wOuld-Be Auditor.

Now comes an esteemed, !"
though Republican contemporary
advocating with much pomp and
involution of language, the nom
ination of Harry Syms, sometime
soldier in the Idaho Volunteers,
for State Auditor on the Repub-
lican ticket. The paper eulogiz-
es Syms as a "hero," extols his
many virtues and superior quail
fications and ardently urges his
nomination.
"Mr. Syms will make a good
and competent Auditor, "-osten-
sibly because he is a Republican
with "a record as gallant sold
ier in the Philippines"
Of course, our newspaper
friend has a perfect right to his
opinions-we would not question
that right if he would keep them
to himself-but we are under the
| impression that he knows about
as little of Mr.. Syms as the man
who gave him his commission IN
the army. Our mimetic friend
has probably repeated the opin-
ions of some third person who
has got them from Syms himself
and adopted them without IN
quiry. =, 90

his soldiers do, he would not oe

Word has been received in this
city that all the necessary money
to complete the Midland from
Boise to Butte has been raised.
1t is no longer a question wheth-
er a million dollars or so can be
raised to start the work, but the
entire amount has been arranged
for by President Bates who left
New York last week for Boise.
When he arrives he will put a
large force of men at work and 1t
will be pushed forward Vlgor-
ously.
o. E. jackson, attorney for the
road. received a wire from Presl-
dent Bates that all financial mat,
ters connected with the Midland
was put in shape Thursday and
instructed Mr.. jackson to push
the survey towards Caldwell as
fast as possible.
Mr.. jackson says IL Is qu''e
nrobable that the entire force OF
men numbering 400 now at WORK
in the canyon will be moved
down nearer Boise will be put to
work there soon.
The company recently paid out
over $1,000 to employees. Mr.,
jackson SAYS the Midland has
every confidence in the cham @ oel
Of commerce and that all the
matters of the road are amicaoly
settled.

B. McAdair, Stanley, Idaho.
Last Wednesday, June 9th, a
little after noon, the flour mill
owned by the Lemhi Milling Co..
was totally destroyed by fire
with all it's contents, consisting
of 10, 900 pounds of -four and
about the same amount of wheat.
The mill was equipped with a
full roller process and was
strictly modern. The loss is es-
timated at $4,000, with no in
surance. This mill was built in
1872 by John Barrack, who ran
it for many years. 1t was sold
six or seven years years ago to
Phil Shenon, who overhauled it
thoroughly and put in new mach
cry and sold it last year to the
present company. Mr.. Walker &
Son being the principal owners
in charge. The fire was caused
by a hot box which ignited the
adjacent wood work while the
millers were at dinner. The fire
had gained such headway before
it was discovered that it was i'm
possible to save anything.-Sal-
mon Recorder.

LOCAL NEWS.

The Fourth of July passed off
quietly In Challis, and one would
almost imagine that it was the
Sabbath instead of being our
greatest National holiday. Had
it not been for the youngsters
with fire-crackers who kept up a
constant fire all the time, the
stiffness here would have been
supreme. The day was ushered
in by firing anvils and was ush-
cred out by splendid dance. 1t
was ideal 4th of July weather.
no wind or storm, but rather cold
for this season of the year. Our
people observed the day in diff
ferent was: Some went fishing
down to the river, others went
to the Hot springs on a picnic
excursion; some spent the day
on Challis creek, Pahsamaroi,
Houston and Clayton, while the
others remained in town. The
most excitement here on that
day was several horse races on
Main street. Guy Bradbury's
horse took two prizes, and Dan.
McKendrick's S horse one purse.
These races were rather excit-
ing. A social hop was given in
the evening, at which six sets
were present. Thus ended July
4th, 1900, in ChalliS.
Clayton people observed the
day with races, a dance. etc.
But the principle feature at that
camp was a public wedding.
At Custer the 4th was celebrat-
ed by foot-races, horse races,
fire works, a grand ball, etc.
Houston also did honor to the
Natal day with horse races, foot
races and dance.
Pahsamaroi also observed the
event with picnic. baseball
game, etc.
