The fire was discovered at o'clock near

struction is complete
The building, owned by II Wei Bros
and others, was SO by 100 feet three and
half stories in height. \ conservative
estimate places the loss between $40.ooo
and $4,000, with some 10000 insurance
on building and stock.
Mr. Pritchard was seen but declined
to make any statements as TO the prob
able loss in the absence of the books OF
the concern, which are in the ruins and
contain a record both of stock carried
and insurance on same.
The Goldsboro Buggy Companv's large
factory was in great danger during the
progress of the fire, but heroic work Of
the fire department, aided by the wind
saved this building. 50 intense was the
heat and such the volume and fury OF
the flames that all efforts to save the

for several years, has taken out the
saloon and bar and will in future
run n first class restaurant, and is
having the place remodeled and
repaired for that purpose. He
is having tables put in and will be
prepared to serve meals at all hours
both day and night, and will serve
suppers for balls and parties,
which will be greatly appreciated
for there has not been a place of
this kind in Shoshone for some
time. The place will be conducted
in a first class manner and none
but most polite and gentIemanlv
walters will be employed.

distributing the poles and putting
up the line from Haley to Shoshone
which is to be completed by Sept.

Turn In Tne Water

There has been no move yet
made to repair or clean out the
town bitches or the main ditch from
the river. The reason for this. we
understand, is that the people are
waiting for the decision from the
district court which will decide the
question as to whether the water
that was decreed to w. c.. Hill for
the people of Shoshone is to be used
for agricultural purposes for our
lawns and domestic purposes.
Time flies and we hope for the
decision. 1t will work quite a
damage to our lawns, trees and
small fruits if this important work
Of getting the water into town is
delayed too long.

but to get it into tho United States
court, and eventually take it out Of
the state of Idaho. Delay is their
long suit. as is also their fear to
have the case tried. where every
jurYman that could be secured is
thoroughly familiar with the land
in question and all of whom would
know that the land was worthless.
These are the conditions as they
exist in this locality, and Wa ask all
people of Idaho to investigate and
we also appeal to the good people
of our growing and prosperous
state to assist US in preventing
these parties from taking from us
our birthright, and compel the;s.
to allow the obstruction OF the
