Fire starting from a stove in the
office of the Nampa Foundry and Ma.
chine company, shortly after
o'clock last night, destroyed the en-
tire plant of that company and caus-
ing loss of upwards of $S5,OO0, on
which there was but $4,000 insurance
The fire was discovered at $50 in
the evening while all the workmen
were at supper, and owing to lack OF
water and fire fighting facilities the
flames ate their way unhindered to all
parts of the plant.
The main building was a three
brick, 50x10o feet, with an annex for
the foundry, 5Ox7O. All machinery
tools, patterns. together with all the
bookse and accounts of the company
were destroyed. The stock of pat
terms on hand was large and valued
at 5000 alone.
Three pattern makers employed by
the concern lost all their tools, valued
at over $500.
The plant, while a small one, was
unusually complete, and of late has
been working about 25 men. 1t was a
great convenience to contractors on
the government project, as repairs
could be made or new parts secured
in few hours, thus avoiding serious
delay.-Nampa Record.

It passes through here. With the

This throws the people at the mercy

tinue to grow worse. The railway
has been unable to carry coal away
from the mines fast enough to sup

tions are that the N. P. will have

the next few months that business

scABIEs AMONG NEVADA SHEEP.
Warning Issued by Bureau of Animal
Industry.

According to the Salt Lake Tribune
George T. Hickox. in charge of the
Salt Lake office of the bureau of am
NAL industry of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, has issued a
not of warning to all Utah sheepmen
who contemplated wintering of herds
in Nevada.
He states that especially in north
eastern Nevada the reports of inspec-
tors show that there is an alarming
prevalence of scabies among the
sheep. In Elko county more than 75
per cent of the sheep are infected and
a heavy percentage of the infection
exists throughout the state. A para
graph of the letter reads:
"The sheep in Utah and Idaho at
the present time are in a most satis-
factory condition, as regards the prev
aIence Of scabies, there being almost
none in either state: therefore, in
conformity with the regulations of
the secretary Of agriculture for the
protection of the sheen owners in gen.
eral. and to the end that the work
already Accomplishment 'shall not have
been in vain, l deem it necessary at
this time to announce that all sheep
coming from the winter ranges in
Nevada into the above mentioned
states in the spring, must dip at once
as exposed and twice If infected un-
der the supervision Of a federal in
spector, at the state line, or not more
than 10 days before crossing said
line"

FUEL FAMINE AT YAKIMA.
VIII Last Indefinitely Unless the Peo-
pie Confiscate Coal.

pie Confiscate Coal.
There was not lump OF coal in the
yards this morning except what was
being held here by the N. P. for use
on its yard engines, says the Yakima
Republic. Early in the day large
crowd Of people with teams had col
lected in front of the office of the
Northwestern Improvement company
in anticipation Of the train load of
coal that was promised by the North
ern Pacific. No coal was brought in
on Thursday and up to IL o'clock to-
day none had arrived.
The people in line at the coal office
had been standing there since early
morning. They had a large fire kim
died to keep them warm. People who
were lucky enough to secure the serv-
ices. of a drayman to wait in line
would probably get coal some time.
When the draymen go into the line
they never know when they will get
away. This is the reason they have
to charge more some times than at
other times for hauling coal. A dray-
man often has to wait a half day.
He charges for his time. The farmer
who comes to town has his time to
himself and he probably can wait.
There has been a big raise In the
price OF coal since last September.
The coal companies are now charg-
ing ;4.75 per ton i'm the yard here.
Before September first the charge was
$4.25 delivered to the consumer. AS
It cost so cents a load to the COM
panies to deliver to the consumer the
price received by the company then
was 1915. This makes a rise Of 81
per ton in the price since September
/.
The people, however, are not kick
ing against the arbitrary advance
made by the company. They are will
ing, some OF them, to pay So, 81 and

A WARNING
To the People Of Pendleton.

Sudden changes in the weather
cannot help but result in coughs,
bronchial troubles, the grippe and
other sicknesses. This weather is
also bad for old people and those
who are run down or have a tendency
to any weakness or disease"
Said a member Of the Pendleton
Drug company: at seems to me that
every man, woman and child in PEN
dleton, especially the aged and run
down, should be warned through the
columns Of your paper to build tn
selves up and take proper precautions
10 ward off sickness at this season,
and there would be very much less
suffering and fewer deaths IN Pendle-
ton"
When asked what was considered
the most universally successful medi-
cine they had ever sold for that pur-
pose, without hesitation the druggist
answered, "Our modern cod liver
preparation, Vinol. You know It is
not a patent medicine, and It does not
contain any useless oil to clog the
system and upset the stomach, but II
does contain every one Of the medic
inal. curative and bodybuilding ele-
ments Of cod liver oil actually taken
from fresh Gods livers, with tonic
iron added"

THE COST OF KEEPING THE PRESIDENT

II is difficult to determine precisely
what 1t costs his fellow citizens" to
keep the president of the United
States, but 1t is safe to say that 1t does
not figure up more than two-fifths Of
a cent for each person in the country,
man, woman and child, says the
Washington Star. Compared with
the cost of maintaining the head rulers
of many imperialistic nations the ex-
pense attached to keeping the chief
executive of this country is small. The
royal families of England, Germany
and Russia spend millions of dollars
of government revenues every year
and besides have set aside for their
use large domains of lands and costly
buildings.
Among the presidents of republics
the one who costs his countrymen the
most per capita is the president of
Haiti. Citizens of that nation pay
1922 of a cent each for the mainte-
nance of their ruler, while the fellow
citizens of the president Of Paraguay
pay three-fourths of n cent each for
keeping him. The cost of the presi-
dent of the Argentine republic seven
twentieths of a cent a head; that of
the president of Mexico three-twenti-
eths of cent head; that of the pres
ident of Chile three-tenths of a cent
head; that of the president of Bolivia
one-fourth of a cent head. and that
of the president of Ecuador two-fifths
of a cent a head.

propriations for the White House are
