WANTS NEW STATE
Pierce City Editor Wants New
State with Spokane as
Capital City.

Pierce City, Udaho) Patriot; rhe
conventiont are all over; the tickets
have been made, and what do we learn
from it? This: North Idaho names
one candidate on the republican ticket
and two on the democratic ticket.
North Idaho-Kootenai Shoshone, La
tab, grand old Nez Perce ond Idaho
counties--that pays into the state treas
ury more than two o.tiiths Of the taxes, to
be iobbed and snubbed by the south
benders, who care not IA tinkers dam for
us. 1t is no wonder that the sentiment
favoring the formation Of new state
comprising the counties named above
and those Of Washington known as
eastern Washington" grows in favor.
There Is nothing in common existing
between north and south Idaho, as is
plainly shown, not only by these two
conventions, but by every act in the pas
legislation for years. Four southern
counties dominated by the Norman
church dictate who shall hold ofiic'
within the state, and even indicate
who viii I'll federal appointments ac
ceptably.
Again we say there is no wonder tina
these people favor the formation OF
new srate, with Spokane as the capit'
city. Let us have new state--call
Iincolnl And make spokane-tl
queen city Of the northwest--its capit'
and crown her with north Idaho-"gel
of the mountains"
What do the "zagebrushers' Of soui
idaho care for our wonderful timber r
sources? They would sacrifice these tho
sands Of acres Of forest for enough wat

GEM IS WIPED OUT
Loss is Between st0o,Oo0 and
s125, ,oOo With Insurance
About $4,000

According 10 the estimates OF insu-
rance men, the total loss by the fire at
Gem last week will amount to between
$ioo, 200 and $l25,o0o, with approxi-
mately $4,000 insurance. An insur-
ance pl.t showed that between so and
20 buildings were destroyed in the con-
haaration. T. II believed that between
% and 30 families were made homeless.
Until the Black Bear fire, which oc-
Cured IN August, large portion OF the
buildings at Gem we're vacant, due to
idleness Of the Frisco mine. When 80
or 20 families were rendered homeless
by that fire they moved into the vacant
buildings at Gem. Nearly all the old
mercantile buildings that had lam in
disuse for some time were rented by
miners, who moved their families into
them rs soon as they were able to OBJ
tain furniture. A number Of these we're
losers in the fire.
The origin OF the fire remains un-
known, many claiming that it was the
work Of incendaries It started in tie
Frisco cafe, an unoccupied building
owned by Robert Bradley Of Wallace,
and burned with such rapidity as to
lead many to believe that the building
had been saturated with coal oil. The
residents believe that if there had been
any water in the mains, and il the
hydrants had worked properly they
would have been able to have saved the
town.
The White & Bender building alone
stands in the business district. This is
the second conhagration that this store
has witnessed. In the fire OF 1892
which was not so serious as the one oi
. last week, the building was surrounded
by burning frame structures but was
saved. II was built as a fire proof build
/ ing and it has served its purpose well
10 Its walls are constructed Of "A incl
g. stones, while it has a double roof

J. leaped all around it fro 2 the burnin
)r buildings it stood, and its contents wer

10 the rear Of the store was where the com
panv suffered the damage.
Both the Northern Facific and the {
as r. & N. railways are losers to consl'
erable extent Both lost a number
ng ties, and the Northern Pacific track wa
i bailey warped. The O R. & n. brid.
was destroyed, and both roads lost the
telegraph lines through the town.

The airship consists Of cigar shaped

OF 1900 cubic feet and the hydrogen

Here's Another.

NEWPORT, Idaho, Sept, 6.-Three
men carrying large revolNers ana sand
bags entered Nick Browns saloon last
uight, covered the night bartender and
secured $50. They then fired several
shots to intimidate the bartender and
departed. A few minutes later they
held up three citizens and robbed them
of few dollars and two watches. They
struck Charles Dietrich glancing blow
but he escaped in the darkoess.

THIS IS The NAVAL WAY.
Treasury Pays Expenses Of Recruiting
Officer IN a Peculiar Fashion.

{"
Officers of the navy who have
charge Of the recruiting for that ser.
vice have devised Il means of extract.
ing money from the federal treasury.
According to a decision recently made
by Comptroller Tracewcll 1t il unlaw-
full to pay the eXpcnccs incurred by
officers detailed for recruiting duty He
holds that all they are entitled to re-
reivc ~ their mileage. amounting to E
cents for each mile actually Travelled.
Mileage will not cover the expenses,
because most of the journeys are short
and the stays in "A particular city rath.
er long.
The plan Il to send the officers
around Robin Hoods barn. When 1t IL
desired that an officer shall open a re-
cruiting office In Baltimore for Il week
or ten days he Is to he ordered to st.
Louis and then to Baltimore. Ills stay
in st. Louis Is to be limited to about
five minutes. by the operation the Of.
llcer comes into possession of about
$780, out of which he has to puy about
500 for railroad fare The remain

stay in Baltimore.
After he has done" Baltimore Pitts.
burg may be his next stopping place
Instead of going there from Baltimore
and getting about S2i he. under the
new plan. will journey to Denver and
return before beginning operations in
Pittsburg. and So Oh to the end of the
recruiting itinerary.
II Is believed that the comptrollcr
will not dare question the discretion
of the Secretary of the Navy to send
an officer whrrcsocycr lie thinks his
services are required and that the
scheme will work. If it will not. then
| recruiting will have to come TO an end
| until Congress can act. That would
bc a calamity, as the navy needs 1000
men to man the ships In commission.
The seabOard cities are not good re-.
cruiting grounds. because there the
satisfactory men know too much
about the life of an enlisted man In
the navy to be persuaded to enlist
except rs Il last resort or us means
Of bracing up.
As there Is no way for an enlisted
man to get Il commission so he can
become II gentleman" there Is no
such incentive for an ambitious boy to
enlist In the navy as there Is in the
army. where. after two years service
he is eligible to be ordered up for an
examination. which. II successfully
passed, means a commission and ME-
job at good pay and pension for his
widow ana minor children.
