Should Make Annual Camp Here.

The meeting at Payette lake was
the most pleasant from a recrea-
ton standpoint ever held by the
association. This beautiful noun
tain retreat is unequalled in the
west as a pleasure resort for the
hot summer months. 1t is rapidly
becoming famous, and the travel
there this year is double that of
any previous year in it's history.
Summing it all up in
nutshell, the Idaho Press asso-
cation will always remember with
pleasure it's first visit to Payette
lake. 1t would be an excellent
idea to make a permanent meeting
place there, and we believe the as
@clation should, and probably will,
take steps to secure ground for an
annual camp at this beautiful spot.

In to that time it was thought

A Splendid Road.

Engineer E. B. Darlington re-
Gently returned to Boise after an
inspection of the Warren-Big Greek
road, undertaken at the request of
the state wagon road commission.
The object was to agree with the
engineer for the contractors as to
the best route up Elk creek. The
route was changed to follow up the
creek instead of winding up the
hillsides, as, while it will not give
as satisfactory grades, it will give
numerous camping places along
the creek. M
GAS far as they have gone," said
Mr.. Darlington in speaking of the
matter to a representative of The
Statesman, "the road constructed
is very good one. Engineer Luck
is to be commended for the grade
he has secured all the way along,
and it is a splendid road that has
been constructed"

DROPPED A HUNDRED FEET
Section of the Mining Town of
Quinnesec, Mich, Sinks Into
an Nine.

Quinnesse,c Mivh.-Shock of earth
quake has partially wrecked Quinnesec.
A large section of the town, situated
over an abandoned mine, fell 100 feet
with a tremendous roar. A number Of
buildings were carried down in the
cave-in, and it is feared that several
lives have been lost.
The population of the town, number
ing about 1000, is panic-stricken. Many
were hurt in the collapse of houses and
stores which were wrecked by the
earthquake.
1t IS now feared that the rest of the
town, which lies over old line shafts,
will drop into the great caverns below.
All the residents lave fed from their
homes in terror, and are now camping
beyond the danger n
The water system is ruined, and if a
fire is started the rest of the town will
be destroyed.

FIFTEEN SQUARE MILES
That Is the Extent of the Devastated
Area in San FranciscO-It Con-
tanned 100000 Inhabitants.
Oakland, Cal.-The Daily Tribune

Oakland, Cal.-The Daily Tribune
says:
A well-known engineer states that the
area devastated by the fire in San Fran
cisco approximates 10000 acres, or
about Is square miles. There are few
cities in the world where SO much val
liable property is contained in an
equal territory. Within this Is square
miles were nearly 100 banks, some of
the finest of the buildings in the world,
thousands of mercantile and manufac-
turing establishments, and more than
ESQ., 900 inhabitants, besides 10000 tran
sients. The aggregate number Of dead
probably will not exceed 700, and will
certainly not reach 1000. Nothwith-
standing the enormous and widespread
destruction, the homes of 10000 peo-
pie are still standing, and practically
uniniured. There still remains the
great s~hipyards at South San Francisco,
the docks and manufactures along the
water front from Mission creek to
Hunters Point, the mint, the post Of
fee, and a large retail district on Fill
more and Devisadera street.

ANOTHER PROCLAMATION
THE PRESIDENT WITHDRAWS
FORMER UTTERANCE.
tiOns Be Sent Direct to San
Francisco Committed.

Washington. - President Roosevelt
believing that the exigency for work.
ing exclusively through the Red Cross
has passed. has issued the following
proclamation:
ITO the Public:
when the news of the dreadful dis
aster at San Francisco first came, it
vas necessary to take immediate steps
to provide in some way for the receipt
and disruption of the sums of money
which at once poured In for the relief
Of San Francisco. At the moment no
one could foretell how soon it would be
possible for the people Of San Francisco
themselves to organize, and to tide over
the interval the American National Red
Cross association was designated to re-
ceive and disburse the funds.
But the people Of San Francisco,
with an energy and self-reliant courage,
a cool resourcefulness and a capacity
for organized and orderly endeavor
which are beyond all praise, have al
ready met the need through committees
appointed by the mayor of the city, ex-
Mayor James D. Phelan being chairman
of the finance committee. The work OF
these committees has been astonishing
in its range, promptness and efficiency.
Gas I am informed by Maj.-Gen.
Greedy, although all local Transports
ton was destroyed, as we'll as practical
ly every supply store in the city, these
local committees, with the help of the
army, have succeeded in caring for
geo, 900 homeless people in the last five
days. Thanks to their efforts, no in
dividual is now suffering severely for
food, water or temporary shelter. This
work has been done with the minimum
of waste and under conditions which
would have appalled, men less trained in
business methods, endowed with less
ability or inspired with any but the
highest motives of humanity and help
~fulness. The need of employing the
Red Cross, save as an auxiliary, has
passed, and l urge that hereafter all
contribution from n source be sent
direct to James d. Phelan, chairman
finance committee, San Francisco.
"Mr. Devine, of the Red Cross, will
disburse any constitutions sent to him
through ex-Mayor Phelan and will work
in accord with him in all ways.

A HOT TIME IN LITTLE ROCK
Fire, Started By a Little Boy Play
ing With Matches, use q
Loss of 100000.

Little Rock, Ark.-One resulting
death, six residence blocks on South
Main street destroyed by fire and scores
Of holes burned in roofs ten and twelve
blocks away, entailing a total loss Of
$50, 900 are the fruits Of a fire orig
mating in the barn of c. c. Beachamp,
Twentieth and Louisiana streets, caused
by his ~four-year-old SON playing with
matches.
The fire ragged for two hours, driven
by a high wind, which was blowing
directly towards the business section.
When houses in the business district
caught fire from embers, merchants be-
gan to pack up, and secured drays pre-
paratory to moving goods. Three large
residences were burned, and Edward
Beach, who was critically i'll with ty-
phoid fever in one, died from the shock
of being moved.

FIERCE TORNADO IN TEXAS
Bellevue Completely Wiped Ont and
St0neburg, Hamilton and Htco
BADLY Battered.

Forth Worth, Tex.-Meager advices
received Thursday night state that
the town of Bellevue has been totally
destroyed by a tornado, 20 or 80 persons
have been killed and many are injured
and missing. Fire is destroying the
ruins caused by the tornado.
A special train has been started from
Bowie, Tex, 1875 miles distant, for the
scene. Bellevue is a town of 1900 in
habitants.
All about the town there is devasta-
ton and ruin caused by the wind. Crops
have been laid waste over a large area,
and /. is very probable that there are q
number Of dead out in the country,
whose names may not be ascertained
for several days. However, the storm
came before it was entirely dark, and
most people were equipped with a cy-
clone cellars, which may keep down the
death list.
%Stoneburg, a small town about four
miles from Bellevue, is also reported
as having suffered seriously from the
effects of the cyclone. A cotton gin
and ten or twelve residences were de-
molished, with life loss of from ten to
fifteen.
Great damage to property is reported
between Stoneburg and Bellevue.
About an hour prior to the disaster to
Stoneburg and Bellevue a storm is re-
ported to have struck Hamilton, coun-
ty seat of Hamilton county, south OF
here, doing much damage to property.
The depot was blown across the
track, carrying down all the wires, and
was wrecked, the station agent being
killed.
Every building was wiped off the big
farm of Sam Young near Stoneburg,
anud one man was hurt, but how seri-
ously is not known.
A telephone message from City Mar
shall Hooper Of Hico, just before wire
communication was interrupted, says
that the tornado did great damage
there.

a party of friends, sis only part Of his
generosity shown in this great and
pressing emergency.
"The house where Mr.. Busch and his
family stayed was destroyed by fire.
The owner was a very wealthy man up
to the time of the catastrophe. But
now he is reduced to almost the bare
necessities of life. He had Sustained

tions, told the man to draw on him in
definitely for 5000 a month"

President Roosevelt, Ambassador
Jusserand and Many Other Dig
nftarIes Present.

Annapolis, Md.-In presence OF Presi-
ident Roosevelt, French Ambassador
Jusserand and many other dignitaries
present, the ceremonies incident to the
refinement of Paul Jones, were held
here Tuesday.
The principal address. delivered by
President Roosevelt, was in part as fol-
lows:
ION behalf Of the American people l
wish to thank our ancient ally, the
great French nation, to whose courtesy
we owe it that the body Of the long
dead hero has been sent hither, n that
to commemorate the reception OF the
illustrious dead a squadron OF French
warships has come to our shores.
"The annals of the French navy are
filed with the names of those who
counted death as a mistress when the
honor of his flag was at stake, Tour
Vile, Duquesne and the Baille de Suf-
fren.
when the body Of John Paul Jones
was found, the representatives Of many
different cities wrote to me, each ask
ing that it should find its last resting
place in his city. But | feel that the
place Of all others in which the mem
DRY of the dead hero will most surely be
a living force is here in Annapolis,
where year by year we turn out the
midshipmen who are to officer the
American navy"
The remains were given sepulchre in
the crypt beneath the grand marble
stairway of Bancroft hall, there to rest
until the completion of the chapel in
which they are to be deposited when a
place therein shall have been prepared

Mayor schmit. Responds.

Mayor Schmitz replied to these sen
timents in a speech equally eloquent,
saying that harmony already pre-.
vailed, and that whatever enmity may
have been felt In the past was wiped
out, and the citizens of San Francisco
had but one object in view-the i'm
mediate upbuilding of a newer and
better municipality.
On Behalf OF Red Cross.
DR.. Edward Devine, on behalf of the
Red Cross society, added to the gen.
eral feeling of the occasion by read
ing a telegram from Secretary of
War Taft, in which the latter told of
the qualification of President Roose-
welt at learning of the harmony that
now exists in the carrying out of the
immense work which has been put
upon San Francisco.
Unparalleled Activity.
San Francisco, April 30.-San Fran
cisco is a scene of unparalleled activity.
The work of clearing debris, prepara-
tory to resurrection, phoenix-like, of
the city beautiful, is under way. Ev-
cry available man is put to work, and
the demand for laborers Is sure to ex-
coed the supply for months to come.
Workmen in all lines car name their
own prices. There is no question Of
unionism or open shop.
Gov. Pardee, after conference with
Mayor Schmitz and Generals Greedy
and Funston, has decided not to with
draw at present, the national guard.
The period in which unfortunates
were taken away from San Francisco
to Oakland and other bay cities free
Of charge has ended, putting a tempo
rary stop to the wholesale exodus.
There are still little shocks at the
rate of one or two a day, and will be.
the weather people say, for at least a
fortnight. Few people pay any atten-
ton to them in the talk Of rebuilding,
and every one understands that after
a big tremor like this the little trem-
bles must continue.
Gigantic Tasks.
The gigantic task of placing San
Francisco in perfect sanitary condition
is in full swing. Every available barge
is being secured, and as fast as a string
Of them is loaded, it is hauled u at
ebb tide, five miles from the city, and
dumped into the bay.
Harmony and Goo Feeling.
San Francisco, April 30.-Harmony
and pledges of good feeling mark the
meetings. of the various bodies Of citi-
zens, committees and representatives
Of the army which are administering
the affairs of San Francisco.
The military still controls the issu-
ance of food supplies.
The temperance of the first cleo
trio cars upon the streets of San
Francisco since the great disaster was
celebrated as quite an event. City
and railroad officials and invited
guests filled the first car, Mayor
Schmitz acting as motorman.

The town of Thompson Falls, Mis-
soula county, Mont, has a strange sys-
TEN of cold storage. In the hottest
days in summer it is possible to keep
living rooms at a temperature of IS
degrees; and butter, eggs and meat
are kept cool and fresh without the
least trouble. The best part of the
cold storage system is that it costs
absolutely nothing after the plant has
been installed. Thompson Falls has a
large number of wells that furnish
cold, fresh air, which rushes upward
all summer long. The wells originally
were dug for water.

The automobile has not discour-
aged the useful animal, the horse.
Oficial reports show that the equine
is still paramount. In 1905 there were
17.O57, 702 horses in the United States,
against 14,213,S37 in 1890. The ex-
port price averaged s308.99 last year.
against $174.50 in 1892. The horse is
flesh, blood and intelligence, and peo-
pie of neutral and practical ~predilec-
lions can have an affection for him.
He has the graces of instinct, and If
he gets proper attention is a thing OF
beauty and more satisfactory and re-
liable to his owner.
