TWO FIRES.

a fire alarm was turned in last
Sunday night about So'clock and
the boys responded at once. The
fire was in the feed eorrals back
Of the Lewis & Garrett livery
barn and had started up in one
Of the feed racks. II was soon
eXtinguished, or rather under
control, for it broke out again
the following morning after
smoldering all night.
The second fire was on Monday
afternoon and started in an un-
used shed or barn across the
street from the j. II. Neal resi-
dence on the fiat. The flames
had gained such headway that it
was impossible TO save the build
ing. There We're no other build
ings near enough 10 be endanger-
ed, however, and the loss was
slight. 1t took 1000 feet of hose
10 reach the fire from the near
est city well. No doubt after
this experience the city authori-
ties will sink other wells in that
portion of the city for the pro-
lection of property,
The fire at the livery barn was
possibly caused by matches being
dropped in the hay by those haul
ing it or in the field and horses
eating may have ignited them.
1t is reported, however, that
some boys were seen coming out
of the corral shortly before the
fire was discovered. The second
fire must have been started by
children and should be a warn
ing. We have been most fortu-
nate in respect TO fires but we
will not always be so and every
precaution should be used.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat
publishes q little review Of the
meaning of the expression. an
inch Of rain. which is Of more
than ordinary interest. The art
iele is Us follows:
Few people have an adequate
idea of the amount of water that
Gescends from the clouds during
q rainstorm. We read in the
weather bulletins that two OF
three inches of rain sometimes
fall in q day. and that in our last
rainy spell nearly five inches fell
in As hours; but these figures
really convey very little ini0r-
nation 10 our minds and give Us
no idea at all Of the prodigali,y
nature.
An acre contains 6.272, 60
square inches Of surface, and an
inch Of rain means, therefore,
the same number of cubic inches
Of water A gallon contains
277.27 cubic inches of water, and
an inch of rain fall means 22,622
gallons 10 the acre, and, as a gall
on Of water weighs l0pounds, the
rain fall on an acre is 226. 220
pounds.
Counting 1000 pounds 70 the
ton. an inch of rain means over
ll3 tons peracre.

1uiAANAitaiA "NhAN 80 w
project:
we have purchased, paid for
and secured every foot of the
right of way except one small
piece, to within II miles of Win
nemucca. Those We're the words
of Z. r. Place, general manager
of the San Francisco. Idaho &
Montana railway, addressed last
evening to a Capital News repre-
sentative. Mr.. Place is ultra con-
servative. This paper has asked
him for information about the
road scores of times and the only
information obtainable was that
he hoped to begin work soon,
but there was nothing to give
out until he was sure of his
grounds.
While in this city last evening
Mr.. Place said the work of grad
ing the roadbed between Cald-
well and Homedale on the Snake
river is progressing rapidly and
he further states that work on
the bridge piers and abutments
for the steel bridge across the
Snake will begin within the next
two weeks. He said two crews
of locating engineers are at work
between Homedale and Winnie
mucca who are setting grade
stakes.
Mr.. Place who is never talka-
tive, dropped the remark that if
the people in this section compre-
hended who and what is behind
the S. +. |. a. M. railway there
would be some excitement and
real estate values would take an
upward climb. He refused to
say more or go into any details
on the subject.
The Capital News has been
a friend of the promoters of the
road and later of those who are
building 1t. When others scoffed
this paper insisted the line
would be built, and that opinion
is now being verified. From
early Investigations it was made
clear 10 the railroad editor of
this paper that the real interests
behind this line are the strong
est in the country. They are
none other than the Canadian
Pacific and the great Gould sys-
TEN. The Canadian Pacific is in
need of n line TO San Francisco
and the Gould interests need
a connection with Butte, Mime
apolis and 81. Paul. This line
from Butte to Winnemucca will
furnish it, besides opening up
a profitable section of country
remarkably rich in natural re-
sources, The line will be alb
solutely independent of any Har-
riman influence and will mark
the delivery from railroad bond
age of a vast section.
Boise will quickly reach the
$4,000 population mark after
this road is completed through
here, and Boise capitalists should
see if there is anything they can
do TO hasten the good work along.
