MILL
BURNS
Old timers are p


Special to Herald.
AZ about 1900 O'Clock last
night the Humbird mill at Sand
point burned to the ground. The
cause of the fire is mystery and
as yet there is no clew to the
cause although several suspicious
characters have been IN the town
lately. The fire kept to the south
side of the track and only the
main building burned, the planning
mill and the yards being saved
The Humbird mill was one Of
the largest in the northwest with
a daily capacity of 100000 feet
Its loss will throw some 300 mer
out of employment temporarily
Reconstruction will start at once
and a new mill will be in operation
by the middle of the summer.

An Appeal Bill

The senate a few days ago passed
the bill suggested by President
Roosevelt to give the government
the right of appeal on questions OF
law in criminal cases. The meas
ure did not get through the senate
until after nearly all the constitu-
tional lawyers regarded it as fatal,
for by the operation of some of it's
provisions they argued that it
might be possible to place a defend
ant twice in jeopardy,
'fhis was not the presidents
idea at all, nor was it the idea Of
any Of those who favored the bill.
As enacted, the measure merely
allows the government the right to
appeal for the purpose Of securing
a construction of criminal statutes
by the highest court in the land. 1t
IS distinctly specified that, il no
case shall a decision favorable to a
defendant be reversed and a new
trial ordered. The finding of the
trial judge may be declared to be
erroneous, but the rights of the
defendant are not thereby affected.
Such a reversal would merely
established a method of procedure
for future cases OF the same sort.
The bill is frst-class one in
every respect, and the house OF
representatives, earnestly consider
ed. As the procedure is today
a district Judge may on a simple
technicality or by straining a point
of law, dismiss a defendant and as
far as the government is concerned
end the matter, If the decision
is against the defendant he can
appeal until he reaches the
supreme court of the United States
he can 6ght off the elimination Of
his case for period that sometimes
runs into years. The system i.
decidedly unfair to the govern
ment.

Growth of Idaho

Colonel Allen Miller, state i'm
migration commissioner in his an
nual report estimates the popula-
ton OF Idaho on January 1 this
year at 100000. Colonel Miller
estimates that the population Jan.
l, 1905, was 273,000.
The last government census of
the state was taken in 1900. 1t
showed a population OF $4,000.
Ten years before that population
was $1,000 while in 1880 it vas
only $4,000. The first government
census was in 1870 and revealed a
population of only $4,000.
Referring to the growth of the
state along other lines, the COM
missioner reports:

and equipped 991 common school
buildings, two normal schools, one
state academy and one university

Win Move Depot

The Herald has it from a reliable
source that the Great Northern
officials are seriously thinking OF
moving the depot up nearer Main
street and if this is done the
waiting rooms will be enlarged and
the entire structure remodeled.
The ground is staked out and we
are assured the improvements
Will be made. This change will
bring the depot next door to Main
street and be very advantageous to
the travelling public.
