The Paris Post charges shepherd
ers with setting forest fires in Bear
Lake County which works great dam
ages.
A man named Christopher Colum-
bus Robinson recently sold an inter-
est in a placer mine on Snake, river
near American Falls, for S3O,OOO.
Joseph Woodmansee, foreman of
the Rigby planning mill has an eye
knocked out by chip shot from
circular saw, says the Star of Rigby.
Another brag exploded. Ligthen-
ing struck Bear Lake County house
and destroyed it. If there are any
sun strokes don't report them till
after the Portland Fair.
The Wallace Press tells about six
men being overcome by the smoke
from forest fire rushing down in a
mine where the men we're at work.
They had narrow escape from
suff ocation.
They had Soda Springs day in
Pocatello, and two came down from
Soda. They came early to avoid the
rush. Evidently Soda people know
the terrors of day in Pocatello and
could not afford to immol ate any
more Of their populaco.
And now it has been discovered by
the County Attorney of Bear Lake
that children cannot be entered for
reform in the reform school Of Idaho
until they have become wicked
enough for the penitentiary. Idaho
craftsmanship has it's leaks.
A young girl named Carrie Hansen
was killed at Pocatello last week by
falling out of Ferris wheel which
is being operated by show company
there. T he show people expressed
their sorrow over the accident in a
very substantial and graceful way,
by sending floral offerings to the
parents and generous purse.
The Paris Post has the honor of re-
porting more casualties last week
than any other reliable paper in the
State: Leslie Pugmire, aged IT
riding horse, horse fell, Leslie left
leg broke; Miss Drew Passey driv-
ing hay derrick team, doubletree
broke, few back, struck Drew on side,
broke two ribs. John Hodges fell
off hay stack, broke right leg.
The traffic question would seem to
be forever settled in Idaho. The
State has appropriated S1250 to
build a road from Paris to Preston
and from Preston to Paris. Nobody
knows why any one should want to go
from one of those towns to the other,
but in the evens of such a misfortune,
it will be nice to have a road all
ready.
The Idaho Falls Register has been
mean enough to revive the old ques-
tion, Who pays, proportionally, the
more taxes, railroads or farmers?
The Register thinks the railroads get
the worse of it while the Paris Post
thinks vice versa, so do we, but,
what's the use. of arguing; for, and
it applies to both railroads and farm
ers, man convinced against his will
is of the same opinion still.
Anent, the strenuous life, the
Wood River Times remarks:
A Chicago woman was married
one day, eloped the next, was arrest
ed on the third, brought back home
no the fourth, forgiven by her hus-
band on the fifth, and went back to
live with him ON the sixth. It is
not so stated, but it is presumed
that, like the Creator, she rested on
the seventh day.
Ida Belle Hutchinson the wife of a
Wallace gambler took a dose of
poison and died ten days afterwards.
Wallace actually confesses to a
"veritable BOOM and in testimony
whereof recites that large number
of brick business blocks is in course
of construction. Wallace probably
forgets that confessing a boom is
entirely out of order in Idaho.
There a"e no more booms, just a
steady healthy growth.
The Wardner News:
''The question of forest reserves is
still uppermost in the minds of g
large number of the citizens of north.
ern Idaho. Like all questions it has
two sides. The general plan and
fundamental motives involved in for
