FIRE BURNS HUMP.
Entire Town Wiped Out--Resi
dents Lose Heavily.


The town of Hump, Idaho, which
was the metropolis Of the famous
Buffalo Hump country is . matter
Of Idaho history. 1t was complete.
y destroyed by fire last Thurs
day, which originated in the room
above the kitchen in Moore's hotel.
So swift and complete was the de-
struction that the entire town,
with the exception Of two build
ings, was wiped of the earth in
less than fonrty minutes. Those
who lost their building and stocks
are: Chas. Moore, hotel; Callender
Mercantile Co., store; D. d. Shaw,
store; D. B. Wilson, saloon; Court
ney Bros. saloon; johnson and
Leitch, meat market; VIM Dunlap,
barber shop; I. o. o. F. lodge, q
livery stable and several Other
buildings. Some of the goods wer,
saved but most of them were siter'
wards destroyed by being ignitei
from sparks. There was some in
surance carried, but not enough {,
cover the loss. Chas. Moore haI
opened a hotel at Concord and it i
likely the town of that country
will be started there.

srEELE's BODY FOUND.
Has Lain Two Months in Big
Creek.

A miner who arrived at Warren
Monday brought the news that the
body of Francis Steele had been
found near the mouth Of Ramey
creek, which is about half mile
from the spot where he camped and
ate his last meal. The finding Of
the body Of the unfortunate man
confirms the statements published
regarding his visit to the Ramey
cabin. After. partaking Of . hearty
meal he left a pair Of gloves and
departed toward Big creek. The
suppoeition at the time was that he
had attempted to cross the stream
and had been drowned. Details
concerning the burial of the body
have not been learned, but it is
thought no effort will he made to
bring the remains out of the coun-
try. Steele became bewildered and
lost his way in the mountaihs last
May, at which time he was going
to Roosevelt to teach school.

ventiOn of the members of the
association, and for bankers,
merchants and business men
generally throughout the cotton
growing States to meet in New

Saturday, the II, II and ID of
January, 1906, for the purpose
of discussing and determining
several questions of considera-
BILE moment to the association
and to the cotton industry, all of
which have become concrete
within the past year.
Last January, when the cotton
growers of the South met, the
bankers, spinners and merchants
of the South at New Orleans, for
the purpose of forming the AS
sociation, oyer 5000 delegates
attended. and the campaign for
higher prices, the holding of
cotton away from speculative in
huences, the diversifcatiOn of
crops, warehousing and the
general betterment of the cotton

THE c0LORADO'S CHANNEL
Is Almost Entirely toward SaIton Sea. and
 the Intake Has Been Abandoned


 The hopes entertained clasts week that the efforts of the California De- velopment company to stop the flow of water through the Mexican intake of the Imperial canal have failed to be realized. The rows of piling from the island to the Mexican bank of the river had been successfully driven and the work of filling in between the rows begun, but as the river continued fall ing the channel on the American side of the island became more and more choked with sand bars while the water deepened in the intake, and as the work of filling in between the piles with brush progressed it was found that stronger curren. was formed in the middle of the channel across which the piling had been driven, and this soon began to give way. On Sunday H. T. Cory of the Southern Pacific en. gineer corps went down to the heading and after thorough examination a consultation between him and C. R. Rockwood resulted in decision that the plan then being pursued could not succeed and should be abandoned. Accordingly the force of men was dis charged and the outfit brought back to Yuma.
 Engineer Brainard of the Reclama- ton Service, who took Photographic measurements last Sunday at the heading, found that the flow into the Mexican intake had increased to 86 per cent, leaving only l4 per cent go- ing down the river below.
 It is reported that the canal com pany intend to make further effort to control the flow of water on the plan of building temporary gates at the side of the, intake, and leave passage through this opening for the escape of the water while building dam across the present channel, but no aGthorita- tive statement to this effect has yet been made public.-Yuma Sun.

 Both of these departments ought to be used in every school in the terri tory. It will add new vigor and un- thought of possibilities to your work to take them up. Write your denomi- national supply house today for sup plies.
 The figures show fairly good av- craze attendance, but when we deduct the 1000 Indian pupils who are all practically always on hand, the per- centage is not so satisfactory. Av- craze attendance Is the real test of what your school is doing, not the number you may succeed in enrolling.
 We have 83 ''evergreen,- schools out of 9S, and of the remaining l5, only report definitely shorter term annually thau twelve months Five of the others do not report on this point, and six are new schools which will undoubtly keep going , the year around. This is the finest thing we have to report. 21
 We rejoice in 302 of our pupils who have decided for Christ this last year. May the coming year see the number doubled and more.
 The organized work in Arizona is still weak and net very much organ ized. It should cause us all to re- joice that the recent convention at Toronto decided to nut a worker into the southwestern field as soon as the man can be found. Let us show our appreciation of this action by all heartily falling into line and each talk ing his responsibility for this great and important work.
 Yours in the work,
