Irish Mike Disturbance at

Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan)
 San Francisco M.rch 1-Foi'owir& a precedent e-rahlishd in New York recently, the members of an Irish society i0 this city the other day made a request ia writing Of the theatrical managers in this city to prevent future appeararcc on san Francisco stages of so.caIled Irish comedians. They con- tented that they mjsrepreseuted the Tr.sh character entirely. that they are not even respectable caricatures of Irishmen. The managers refused Go give heed to the request. So last night, as by prearrangcd plan, many Irish attended local theatcr and when the Irish comedian put in his appearance they hissed him, and when he could not otherwise be driven from the stage, they hurled missiles at him. A dis. turbarcc followed and the riot call was sent in. Order was finally restored.

gave the secret away. They were all
school teachers from Ohio and West
Virginia, quite number Of Cleveland,

their school duties, and wanted to pay

proprietor Of the place, stating who
they were, what they wanted, and you
can easily imagine how pleased he was
to get crowd of splendid young wom-

and are there at the present time.

something aside from their school

from mental to physical is exactly what
all need for the summer. Then they

Fire Apparatus Here At Last.

The chemical fire engine and hook
and latter truck. which was ordered
last May and should have been here
early last month, says the Cottonwood
Chronicle, arrived from Sites Wednes-
day and was given trial test last even
ing. A large pile Of boxes and rubbish
was collected and after being saturated
with coal oil, after it was thoroughly
ahame the chemical solution was turn
ed on it and in few minutes the fire
was practically extinguished The test
given showed the engine to be fully as
represented and proved to all present
that had the outfit been here last Sat
urday the fire on that day could easily
have been confined to the small build
ing in which it started.
The engine is provided with two
cylinders OF As gallon capacity each
and while one is being used the other
can be recharged, thus affording con-
tinuous stream. AS it takes nearly ten
minutes to exhaust one cylinder ample
time is given to reload the other. The
engine is very effective for all ordinary
fires and as the>chemical solution kills
the flames and counteracts the heat it
allows the operators TO get close to the
base OF the fire and turn the water
where it is most needed. The engine
is not intended to handle large fires
and should be backed up by a good
water system, but for small fires it is
the proper thing and can be gotten to
the scene Of the fire and into action in
very short time after an alarm is
sounded. The hook and ladder truck
is also something badly needed here
and may prove quite valuable in time
to come.
Mr.. See, who accompanied the en-
CINE here, is organizing fire company
to handle the outfit and will in
struct several in the workings OF the
engine so as to have il ready to use at
any moment.
The outfit cost the city $1,000 and
would have easily paid for itself Satur-
day had it been here. Owing TO a
mistake in shipping, however, it was
at Lewiston since about June IS when
it should have been here since that
date.

Work Copper Property.

Work is to start at once on the old
Anderson Copper property seven miles
east OF Troy. This property now has
something like 600 feet Of tunnel and
As foot shaft, and has exposed some
very rich stringers Of copper ore. Assays
have been made recently and gave
values OF $54 and $64 per ton. The
mine was recently purchased by L. M
Steelsmith and c. A. Broman who be-
lieve they have something worth devel-
oping. A crew will be put to work at
once and shipment OF ore made.
The lower tunnel now taps the ore body
at depth Of $50 feet, and there is
plenty OF STOPPING ground to deter
mine the value Of the property.

Troy is Second.

Troy ranks second in the posi- offic. 8
OF Latah county, and if business keeps
on increasing at the rate it has during
the past year even Moscow will be left
too far in the rear to recon with. Based
on the business of the previous twelve
months the postal department raised
Troy to the third class the first of the
present month, and raised the salary
from twelve to thirteen<hundred dollars
Genesee, up to this time the second
office In the county, was reduced from
$l4OO to $500, and Kendrick was raised
from Sll0O to 1920 While Genesee
has the same class as Troy in the mat
ter OF business Troy outclas SEES it consid-
cradle. For example we will state that
the postal business for the quarter end
ing April l, '07, at the Troy Office was
$S79 II, or almost four time as much as
is necessary to entitle a town to a third
class office. We haven't the official fig
ure but we are certain neither Genesee
nor any other town outside of Moscow
can anywhere near approach this record.
We have the figures for the money order
business covering the same period but
have not time this week to run up the
totals and will give that next Issue. The
people OF Latah county, who have been
poking fun at Troy and trying to make
themselves believe the town was of
little consequence can get this first dose
properly dlgested by the time we give
them the balance OF he figures Watch
Tor them. They will surprise you.

Tar Plant will Go.

After a rather rough career of sever
al months the tar plant is to be put in
operation. All the financial difficulties
have been settled and the company
have not only no debts but $1,000 in
the treasury. All stock has been with
drawn and those holding blocks are
inclined to believe that it will not be a
good policy to sell at this time. Active
work Of completing final arrangement
are now under way and it is estimated
that the plant will actually begin turn
ing out tar and pine products within
thirty DAYS. The company is now in
excellent condition and there is every
reason to believe that from now on the
sailing will be smooth. 1t is reported
that the Troy company have received
some hattering offers for their process
if it proves success, and it requires
no great stretch CT imagination to pic
ture out great future for the pine in
dustry that has been started here in
Troy. 1t is claimed the plant will util-
lie even old stumps and saw dust,
and that old stumps will be the very
best material from which to make tar,
and that there will soon be a cash mar
ket for stumps, now cleared from the
farms OF this section at a considerable
expense. If so it will have tendency
to increase the value of stump lands.
The local plant is organized with
$4,000 shares of stock and has already
spent on the Troy plant $500.

R. E. Glen, for six wears a resident
Of Troy, died at his home Wednesday
under circumstances that look like he
had been murdered. When the five
O. clock train arrived passengers found
him lying on the side walk in front of
the News Office apparently in drunk
en- stupor. Several stopped and shook
him but he would not arouse, and as
he was known to be a bard dinker it
was supposed that he would soon sleep
il of and get up. About seven O clock
he was carried home and medical aid
summoned. Examination was made
and his head found to have sustained
at least two bad bruises, and his body
badly bruised. His chest was black
indicating some hard bruises as if kick
ed or struck, land there were other
marks of violence. He never regain
ed consciousness and died at four
O clock in the afternoon. Attorney
Oversmith, upon learning OF the affair,
promptly summoned the sheriff and
the prosecuting attorney who came to
Troy at once and thoroughly invest
gated the matter. It was found that
Glenn had last been seen in the Enter
prise restaurant where had had trouble
with the proprietor, A. H. Squires, a
colored man. 1t is said that Squires
threw Glenn out Of the place. Glenn
was next found unconscious on the
sidewalk near the restaurant. 1t was
also found that there had been rough
house at the restaurant during the
night and this with other facts led to
the arrest of Squires who was taken to
Moscow and locked up. An inquest
is being held as we write this, (Thurs-
day. The remains will be buried to-
day in Bethel cemetery. Deceased
was born at Bible Grove, ILL.,, February
10, 1873, and leaves wife, and little
girl 9 years old.
