Sunday Night Fire.

The home OF Elmer White, at the
foot Of Court street, was gutted by
fire Sunday evening about 8 o'clock,
and the contents are a total loss. A
little after o'clock Mr.. White was
playing with his baby In the bed
room, and a quick movement upset
a stand near the bed. containing a
coal oil lamp that broke and scat
tered the oil. After a desperate eff
fort to extingulsh the flames, in
which Mr.. White badly burned his
good right hand, he was compelled to
rescue the baby and fly from the
premises. Mrs. White tried to save
some of the property, and had to be
pulled out of the burning building
twice by main strength. The depart
ment arrived quickly, but too late to
save any of the contents. The frame
of the building was saved, but the
entire inside is badly charred. Mr..
and Mrs. White saved practically moth
ing, even losing their kitchen sup
plies, bedding and baby clothes. He
had $500 insurance on the contents
in the New Zealand Fire Insurance
Co, but his loss will be as much
more. The house is the property of
Harry Mimic and f. T. Wrightman,
who had $400 insurance. Mr.. White
is a son-in-law of VIM. r. Anderson,
and has been employed as a guard at
the state prison. His friends will
hear OF his loss of his household be-
longings with great regret.

A POPULIST ADMlNISTRA-
TON.

While Roosevelt is pretending to
smash the trusts with one hand
he is religiously feeding them with
the national substance with the
other. The national banks now
have more than It's million dollars
of the peoples money loaned to
them on which they pay no in
terest. II there was ever a special
privilege granted to the few by
any government on earth equal in
value to this, we would like to
know when and where it was
done. And on top of this, the
banks are allowed to put up the
watered railroad stocks and bonds
issued by the frenzied financiers
as security for the government
money. 1t would seem that the
real business men of the country
who have to pay all the way from
six to 10 per cent. for money would
want a piece Of that government
pie, but perhaps they are held
back from demanding it by the
remembrance Of how they de-
nounced the populists in '93 as
anarchists because they advocated
the government loaning It's surplus
to farmers on the security of i'm
perishable crops, so they have
maybe concluded to let the banks
have the whole pie and be thank
full if they are allowed to lick the
platter.

GOOD CROP PROSPECTS.

The recent rains have again
thoroughly soaked the ground, and
the indications are now more than
ever promising for another bumper
crop of all kinds of cereals on
Camas Prairie. The late sown
spring grain needed rain, and as a
result of the late precipitation it
is beginning to cover the fields in
an unmistakable manner. The fall
wheat makes grand showing now.
and this crop promises 30 bushels
to the acre and better, provided no
bad luck befalls US between now
and harvest, The timothy is also
looking uncommonly well, and
with the arrival of the railroad
this product should easily be
worth S15 per ton in the bale here.
The fruit crop is also blessing us
this year with vast abundance,
and plenty for export. The cattle
and hog industries, always
source of wealth and profit to our
Camas prairie farmers, is still a
good stand by and the promised
higher price of grain will doubtless
60 still higher. Look at it from
what standpoint you will, the
Camas prairie farmer is evidently
in for year of unprecedented
prosperity and profit from every
yield of the farm and range.

THE ENGLISH SPARROW

Old timers note with surprise
that for the first time in the his.
torv of Camas prairie we are visi-
ted this spring by. large flock of
the little black and brown English
sparrows. While he lie constant
inhabitant of the eastern states his
presence in this part of Uncle
Sans domain is something new,
and evidently goes to demonstrate
that we are getting highly civil
lized, and that we have dug the
Indian out of our soil, for the
sparrow is neighborly and social
little cuss, and only locates in com
munities where there is life and
activity. They may be heard any
morning nowadays in the trees
chattering away to beat the band.
They are very tame and allow you
to approach so near that you think
you could easily catch them by
putting the proverbial pinch Of
salt on their tails; but like the
Irishman's flee, he is not there
when you put your hand on him.
In some of the Eastern states the
sparrow is regarded as a veritable
nuisance for the damage he does
to the cherries and other fruit; but
government specialists say at he
is about the best friend the farmer
has, because he is great des-
troyer OF insect pests OF all kinds.
aud they claim that the presence
of the sparrow should be encour-
aged on the scriptural principle
that 'thou shalt not muzzle the OK
which treadeth out the corn"

FOURTH OF JULY.

A meeting should be called soon
to determine whether or not
Grangeville shall celebrate the 4th
of July this year. Ifa celebration
is to be held it is time that prep
arations were being made. Or if
it is the desire of the citizens that
the occasion pass by unobserved,
this fact also, should be clearly un-
derstood. Regardless of what ac-
ton is taken, the matter demands
attention now.
1t has been suggested by a citi-
zen that some OF the fraternal or
CARNATIONS take hold of the pro.
ject or that a committee be APP
pointed from each order to work
with committee of business men
80 that the success Of the celebra-
ton will be of mutual interest. 1t
has been said that in the past
some celebrations have been held
in which the commercial feature of
the affair was the main end in
view. If we celebrate this year
let's make it patriotic affair--a

into a murder trial. There was
also developed another significant
fact that many of those thus ex-
amined admitted that they would
not believe the man Orchard un-
der oath, and would not consider
his testimony of any value or en-
titled to and credence whatsoever.
There is nothing surprising in this.
Orchard by his own testimony,
placed the bomb by which Gov.
Steunenberg was assassinated.
And not only this, but he has adj
mitted that he has killed % or 30
men in his iniquitous career. The
testimony of such depraved
wretch is unworthy of belief
under any circumstances. AS
a matter of fact Orchard
should have been tried months
ago and hanged for his afro
cious crime. He is simply a
moral degenerate, and no more
entitled to breath Gods air than
the others of his class who slew
Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley.
There are thousands of good citi-
zens in this and other states who
are firmly fixed in the opinion
that Orchard is alive today because
the exigencies of republican poll
tics in Idaho and Colorado de-
manded political issue, and Or
chard gave them one, of which
they are making the most.

A DEPLORABLE CONDITION

The confagration of September
ID, 1905, robbed Grangeville OF
one of her best business blocks;
another serious fire might wipe out
the entire business portion, and
yet, on account of the lack of in.
terest, the remaining members of
the fire company are preparing to
disband. With such facts in evil
dence it will be- strange indeed if
the citizens permit the loss of their
only means of fire protection. A
well organized fire company with
proper equipment and support, is
recognized as the only possible
method of fire-fghting for towns
of Grangeville's size. But the citi-
zens haven't supported the organi-
cation. Financially speaking, no
complaint can be made, but it is
plain that the interest taken by
the citizens in the company's well
fare is not what it should be.
Practical demonstrations have
made it plain, Inquiries as to the
attendance at the meetings of the
fire companies have made it plain.
With no thought of knocking"
and with the assurance that we are
firm believers in Grangeville's past,
present and future, we can say
that when city, which boasts OF
5000 population, has fire COM
pany with only fifteen members
there is something existing that
shouldn't. In this case, that some-
