J. A. PETERS STORE BURNED,

J. A. Peters store and workshop
went up in flame and smoke, early
Monday morning. The fire was dis
covered by Mrs W. III. Peters, and call
ing Fred Sincerbox, who gave the
alarm, and with few neighbors pro-
ceeded to save as much of the con-
tents as possible, as the building could
not be saved. At great personal risk,
barrels of kerosene were rolled out as
they were uncomfortably hot. Fortu-
nately the fire was farthest from
the store part, giving time to remove
the most of the goods of value. The
fire is thought to have been started by
some person or persons breaking into
the cellar under the workshop for
hard cider, which Mr. Peters had stor-
ed for vinegar and dropped match
into some litter, as the door was found
forced open, where the fire was burn
ing. Mr. Peters was in New York at the
time and has lost many tools of all
kinds in his work shop, on which, and
with the building, there was no insur-
aQCe.

CRICKETS INVADE IDAHO.

The Oregon Short Line ran an ex-

Thursday, to enable people in the sec

have heard so much about, says the

A large crowd went up from Rigby,

of 55 miles in So minutes, says the

six Pullmans, i in all, and all heavily
loaded. The first 25 miles out of

and not until Orchard was passed,
did the train attain phenomenal speed.
From there several single miles were
run in 35 to 38 seconds each, or about
100 to 103 miles per hour
This feat can be better understood
when compared with the Pennsylvania

hours. These trains are composed OF
but five or six cars and make but few
stops, with a perfect track and prac-

The lure of the Northland has
struck the o. r. & N. train and en-
CINE men and it is possible that a
number will follow the new railroads
into the Tanana and Seward districts
in Alaska this summer.
Tacoma employment firms are call
ing for 1000 men to work on the con-
struction Of these lines and as fast as
the roads are completed traffic will
start over them and trainmen and en-
gine men will be needed in large num-
bers.
Already several o. R. & n. brake
men, conductors, engineers and fire
men are looking toward the north
and II the conditions are satisfactory
will go to Alaska.
New roads are especially inviting to
railroad men. now as the chances fol
promotion are much greater than or
the older lines and a man securing
employment as a freight conductor
on a new road in Alaska would yer.
soon have a choice passenger run
while If he remains on the older line'
he might be years in securing any
thing but a freight run, and the SAM
condition prevails in the engine de
partment-
The season in which railroad build
| ing can be done in the north is yer,
short and for that reason the worl
will be rushed as rapidly as possibl
in order that the entire line into tn
Seward district may be completed thi
year.
After the road is once completes
and the White Pass and Yukon lin
extended it will be possible to reacl
the farthest points along the Alaskan
frontier with comparative ease an
there will be some excellent runs o.
the Alaskan roads.
All the northbound boats out of Sc
attic and Tacoma are loaded with la
borers and yet the call cannot be sup
piled. One firm in Tacoma advertise
for 1000 laborers and another says
number of first-class train and engin
men can be used. so there are job
ahead for some one and many of tn
o. R. & n. boys will try for them.

divorce, the complaint sets forth that
the plaintiff cannot live with him.
If half the facts alleged in the
complaint are true such would be the
case, for he is accused of conduct
which for downright depravity can
hardly be equalled. About the only
thing printable among the various
misdeeds alleged, is that he is accus-

WHAT SUGAR BEETs DID.
Experience of Colorado Town, Hint
to UmatiIla County.

T. NJ. Callahan, banker and mer-
chant of Longmont. Colorado, drop
ped off in Nampa Saturday, says the
Nampa Leader-Herald, to visit friends
and look at the town. He was highly
pleased with his visit being enthusi-
astic over the business outlook as
the result of the establishment of the
sugar beet factory here.
'The factory at Longmont," said
he, was built three years ago and
is now going through the third cam
paign. We worked very hard to get
it and were more than paid for our
efforts. 1 was in the mercantile bus
iness, and speaking purely from
business standpoint, ignoring the
benefits to the farmers, 1 want to
to say that it was the greatest thing
that ever happened. My business
was increased fully so per cent the
first year, and SO per cent the second
year. The population of Longmont
went from 1900 to $500 in two years
and land advanced from $50 to 500
and over.
"I was willing at the time to give
~ per cent oH luS Ndiue VI "h"I
owned in town to get the factory es-
tablished. other business men felt
the same way, and the result proved
that it was a small tax. The sacrifi-
ces which your business men have
made and will make, will be amply
repaid and Nampa will become city
of great commercial Importance
made doubly so by the advantage OF
your central location"
