Dam at Woods Lake Burst.

We learn that the heavy rain of
Tuesday night caused the dam on
Woods Lake, about seven miles
south east of the city, to break and
the rush of water carried away the
dam, gin and mill. also many fine
game fish that were in the lake.
Mr.. James Wood who had his lake
stocked with fine trout feels their
loss very much. The fish were
scattered all over the lowlands be-
low the dam and some trout were
picked up that weighed 8 pounds
and others Of 6 pounds. The grist
mill and cotton gin washed away
entail loss of some $4,000.

CYPRESS BAYOU.
Washington, March "a, 19(

Washington, March "a, 1906.
Editor JIMPLEoUTE-Permit me
to aend you herewith copy of a
letter which 1 have received from
Hon. o. B, Colquitt, one of the
Railroad Commissioners of Texas,
in reference to the navigation of
Cypress Bayou. Capt. Wooten es-
Inmates that the waterway between
Jefferson and Shreveport can be
put in navigable condition with an
expenditure of S525, 900. You will
observe that is Mr.. Colquitt's
judgment practically this amount
would be saved in reduced freight
rates in one year. Mr.. Colquitt's
statement to the effect that the
Texas Railroad Com mission would
make Jefferson water basing
point, and that this would involve
saving of half a million dollars
yearly, is certainly powerful ar
guement in behalf of the restora-
ton of navigation to Jefferson. Mr..
Colquitt has always shown the
liveliest interest in the proposition
to restore navigation to Jefferson
and I am sure that his efforts are
appreciated by all. I have filed
Mr.. Colquitt's letter with the re-
viewing board of engineers. With
best wishes, / am,
Yours very truly,
MORRIS SHEPPARD.

The letter of Commissioners Col.

The letter OF Commissioner Col
quit, which appears in this issue
of the JIMPLECUTE, cannot be too
highly commended and appreci-
ciated by the entire Northeast Tex
as. That it will carry with it con-
viction of what will be gained by
the improvement no one can ques-
ton. The letter is straightforward
and in the interest of the people.
The high position he takes is thor
oughly appreciated by those who
have given the matter thorough
study for years, Such statement
coming from such high authority
necessarily carries with it greater
weight and has greater influence
than perhaps most any other. In an
other respect the letter of Commits.
sioner Colquitt is of vast import
ance, it substantiates and yerifies
the claims, and statistics furnished
Senator Culberson and Congress-
man Sheppard, which they pre-.
sented to the reviewing board in
February last. The reviewing
board cannot now question the vol
ume of business heretofore sub
mitted to them, if at any time they
were disposed to do 30. 1t is be-
lieved that they will now thorough
ly understand the very great inn
portance of having water point
within the State 80 that it be made
a basing for all freights within a
given limit. Doing this will in no
way lessen the earnings of the rail
ways, but will have the contrary
effect, by increasing it, A distrib-
uting point is beneficial in every
respect. That the reviewing board
will now give to tins section what
it has for years been deprived of,
there is not the slightest question

Cypress Bayou up to Jefferson that the
same rates would apply to Jefferson
that now apply to Shreveport, La. Es-
timating the benefits accordingly, /
think that 20 per cent of the freight

above would be saved to shippers, or a
sum approximating $25O,O0O per annum

the Cotton Belt road, but think it safe
to say that with the navigation of Cy-

water rates applying to that point, the
rates prescribed by the Texas Railroad
Commission would base on Jefferson
and all north Texas rates would be re-
duced from 10 to 338 per cent on those
which now apply to the saving, in my
humble judgment, would easily equal

freight payers of north and northeast

HOPF,IDAHO, BURNED
ENTIRE BUSINESS PORTION OF
TOWN SWEPT AWAY.
Total Loss Is Estimated to be Nearly
$2oo,ooo-Flames Spread to Resi-
dence Section-Dynamite Used-Sev-
eral Persons Badly Burned and In
Jured-Town Burned Before.

Hope, Idaho, July 16.-Fire which
started at this place at 1890 D. m.
Sunday in the Hope Hotel cafe, own
ed by Charles j. Belz, destroyed near
ly the entire business portion of the
town before the fire burned itself out.
The total loss is estimated to be close
to 100000.
Fire was first discovered in the roof
of the building, having originated
from defective fiues, and in few mo-
ments the entire roof of the structure
was mass of flames. Owing to the
continued dry spell the buildings were
like finder. The fire spread rapidly,
and in Is minutes half a dozen bust
ness houses were in flames. All of
the saloons, restaurants and hotels
were burned, as well as the postoffice,
drug store, Congregational church and
dozen dwellings, including those of
L. H. Jeannot, G. A. Sherman, Mrs.
Lemley, ]. c. Gable, Robert Wilkin-
son and j. M. Jeannot.
Jeannot's large department store
was damaged by two rs pound boxes
of dynamite being set off in an at
tempt to blow up the building, which
is of solid stone. The walls remained
intact, however, after re explosion
and stopped the fire from going any
farther in that direction
After rayaging the business street
the fire swept up the hill and de-
stroyed the Prescott hotel, owned by
Thomas Davey, entailing a loss OF
$1,000, with only $1,000 insurance. Mr..
and Mrs. Davey lost all they had, in
Guiding their wearing. apparel. Then
residences began to burn and in an
effort to keep the flames from L. H.
Jeannot's handsome $4,000 home, the
Congregational church was blown up
with dynamite, but too late, as the de-
bris imediately took fire and carried
the flames to the Jeannot home.
Brick Ordway was badly burned
about face and neck by a burning
awning falling on him and Arthur
Chasten was injured by flying board
from one of the dynamite explosions.
Hope for long time was division
