eve anticipate that our democratic
friends will make great howl during
the coming campaign about the in
crease in taxes in Idaho. But in
their efforts to make political capital
out Of the question, they will forget to
tell you that Idaho is forging ahead
by leaps and that 1t requires more
money to keep the wheels of our state
government going today than it did
ter, or even six years ago.

by the Montpelier Examiner, a sup

PLANT
DESTROYED
BY FIRE
Property of N. E. Turner Co. al
Vinegar Bend a Total Loss
Not a Cent of Insurance.

The Mobile Item of yesterday con-
tanned the following:
A loss estimated at between $685.
900 and $15O,0OO, without particle Of
insurance, was caused last night when
fire destroyed the entire plant and
thousands of feet of lumber of the
n. E. Turner Company, at Vinegar
Bend, Ala, a small lumber settlement
above Mobile on the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad. The property formerly be-
longed to the Vinegar Bend Lumber
Company was owned by Turner Bros,
and up to a few months ago leased
Mobile county conVicts which they
worked in the stockade
The cause of the fire is not known,
but it originated in the boiler house
Of the main mill. While there are
several watchmen in the employ of the
company, the fire was not discovered
until almost the whole mill structure
was in a blaze. The fire rapidly COM
municated to the planning mill, dry
kilns and lumber sheds in which
thousands of feet of lumber were
stored. For a time the little town
was threatened to be wiped off the
map by the fierce flames. Employees
and others residing in the little town
worked heroically and succeeded in
combining the flames to the mill prop
erty.
The first intimation of the fire re-
ceiVed here was contained in a tele-
gram to Mr.. N. E. Turner shortly af-
ter 10 o'clock last night 1t appraised
him Of the fact that the main mill was
burning and other property threat.
ened. Those in charge of the plant
endeaVored to secure assistance from
Mobile and suggested that Whistler
be called upon for aid. 1t was not
long, however, before Chief Price was
in communication with Mr.. Turner,
and when informed of the situation
Immediately ordered fire engine No. 4
and a sufficient amount of hose to the
scene, which was conveyed upon a
special train, leaving the Mobile and
Ohio yards shortly after midnight.
Capt. H. A. Dole, attached to engine
company No. 81 was assigned to the
task and accompanied Mr.. Turner TO
the scene of confiagration.
When they reached Vinegar Bend
the main sawmill, three dry kilns and
several lumber sheds containing thou

stroyed and the flames we're fast CON
Stunning the planning mill and other
sheds where lumber was stored. The
engine was not taken from the nat
car, but shifted over the rails to the
creek, where wafer was obtained. In
this manner Capt. Dole did excellent
work, saving thousands of feet of lum.

ceIIent, the Clash Of Capital and
Labor notwithstanding.

Even the unsophisticated layman
confesses that this is the day OF
special attainment, and as such, the
union is, as 1t were, a school of eX-
cellence in every line of attainment
To have come into the estate OF
"journeyman" means years of novi-
tiate training for the former cub" a
training which equips him thoroughly
with the theory and practical science
of his trade Nowhere is this more
necessary than in the science of brew
ing, and We take occasion here TO re-
commend 10 our readers a home en-
teTprise of the first magnitude, de-
serving home patronage in proper
ton. We refer to the plant, the high
enterprise and the splendid product of
the Acme Brewing Company, of Ma
con Ga. They employ only master
brewers, some of them brought from
the greatest breweries abroad.
These men are equipped with every
modern, goth century innovation for
successful, scientific brewing. They
have a plant in which cleanliness is
a by-wOrd and an ever present fact
They are supplied with the finest
Canadian malt, and real Bohemian
hops, and are sustained by an inflex-
ible determination on the part of the
proprietors to produce the best beer
in America Have they done il?
You will be amazed if we say they
have, but we in turn are sustained in
the assertion that they have succeed
ed, by a verdict of the Walheinus In
stitute, of Chicago, the leading brew
ers chemists. American Queen

riOr to three of their competing
brands which enjoy almost universal
recognition and sale. Many of our
southern people might admit this re-
luctantly until they make a critica!
test. Do so yourself.

Der from destruction. The fire was
the worst ever experienced in the set
Element and but for the timely ar
rival Of the engine company would
have probably proved more disastrous.
While those living in the homes
near the mill company were anxious
as to their own possessions not one
was destroyed. The stOckade where
hundreds of prisoners are confined re-
NAMED untouched by the flames and
not a prisoner escaped. The guards
are said to have remained perfectly
in control of the situation. Upon ar
rival at the scene Mr.. Turner took
personal charge of affairs and rem
dered valuable aid in directing the
movements of the fire fighters.
The loss will prove a heavy one to
Mr.. Turner, who estimates it at be-
tween $4,000 and $150OOO, without
any insurance. Mr.. Turner stated
that he had been expecting an insur-
ance man to come to Mobile for the
past thirty days TO inspect the mills
property with the view Of taking the
risk. This insurance man reached
Mobile yesterday and was to have
gone to Vinegar Bend to inspect the
property today. That is given as the
reason of Mr. Turner's presence in
Mobile yesterday. Mr.. Turner has
announced that he will rebuild al
once.

morning, having left the scene of the
ire at daylight It was all under CON-
