RENT IS RAISED AGAIN
Postoilicc Boxes Take Another Jump
Upward to Increase Postal
Revenue.

Postmaster Thomas received instruc-
tions from the PostofIice department
this morning to notify patrons of the
Salt Lake postofiice that on and after
the end of the present rental quarter
Dec. 81 the rent of postoifice boxes will
be charged for at an advanced rate:
Boxes heretofore renting for Il quarter
.ly period at 81, will hereafter be
charged for at the rate of $l.50 per
quarter, those renting for S1.50 at 81.
those renting at 81 at SO and those
renting for So at 81. This is the third
raise in rental rates made within the
past three years. The growing postal
deficit is thought to be responsible for
the increase the department seeking
to meet expenses with an increase in
revenue.
Box subscribers complain that While
the increased revenue goes to meet eS-
penses i'll the matter of delivering mail
and not to increased facilities in the box
departments, they really receive no bet
ter service through their boxes, but
bear the burden OF the other man who
receives the benefits. Following the
former raises of rates, several renters
of boxes withdrew from the arrange
inent and more may pe expected to
give up their boxes this time, which
places the rental Of some boxes at SIG
per year, and the minimum rental at
ST.

FIRE IS STILL RAGING
One Hundred Square Miles of Terri.
tory Devastated by Holocaust
In British Columbia,
Conservative Estimate Places Number
of Persons Who Lost Their
Lives in Fire at Fifty.

The terribly destructive fires which
have swept the Crows Nest district of
the Elk River valley in British Colum-
bia since last Saturday, and which
have devastated a hundred square
miles of territory, are eating through
vast forests on the mountain sides and
it is thought they will soon burn them
selves out for lack of something to de-
stroy.
A late press bulletin says that the
city of Michel is in flames and that
Hosmer is in peril and may at any
time be attacked by the flames should
the wind change and thus favor the
fire 6end's progress in that direction.
It is impossible at this time to ar
rive at summary of the situation as
regards loss of life and property with
even approximate correctness. How
ever, it is not believed the death list
will exceed fifty persons.
The property loss has been very
great, but this, too, is difficult to esti-
maIe correctly. "A conservative Va1ua-
tion would probably place the amount
at So, 100000 or 100000
An estimate of the results of the fire
is as follows:
Town of Fernie, about 5000 inhabi-
tants, practically wiped out, loss of
twenty lives, and 81, 600, 900 or SIS, O00,-
900 in property.
Town of Hosmer, about 800 inhabi-
'tants, partially burned, with loss of
one life and s25O,000 in property.
Three hundred persons homeless.
Town of Michel, now burning, four
persons reported killed.
Town of Sparwood, sawmill village,
two killed and large mills destroyed.
Damage estimated at S250,00O. -
Damage to standing timber through
out the burned territory estimated
from 81 ZOO, 600 to $4,000 900.
Eighteen bodies have been found in
the ruins caused by the fire at Fernie.
The logging crew of the Elk Lumber
company, consisting of about twenty,
is still missing.

district, several candidates have filed
for the republican nomination for the
house, among them the two old mem
bers, Hon. I. W. Bouck and Hon. M.
N. Young. Mr.. Young is serving his
first term and made a creditable
record in the last house. Mr.. Bouck
has served three terms, and by reason
of his experience and his sterling
qualities he was regarded as one oil
the leading and most influential mem.
bers of the last house. We have known
Ira Bouck for many years and have
found him to be a man of his word
and absolutely on the square. He has
a large number of personal friends
in Princeton who regard him very

Larger and larger grows the num-

enthusiastic are they becoming over
the beauties of this pretty summer
resort-the picturesque stretch of
woodland with its shimmering lake.
Friday evenings dance was a record
breaker for attendance. There were
people present from all the surround
ing towns and from the twin cities
Princeton contributing large con-
tingent. The evening was a most
beautiful one and the dance music
furnished by Murphy's orchestra
could scarcely have been improved
upon. The cottages at the lake do
not have to go begging for occupants,
and a person is lucky indeed if able
to obtain one at this season of the
year. Mr.. Pratt is daily in receipt of
letters from people living in various
parts of the country who desire to rent
cottages, and is doing his best to ac-
commodate them. Next year he ex-
poets to build more cottages at the
lake. Persons desirous of renting
cottages should not delay in making
application for same.
Visitors have been numerous at the
cottages this week and fishing has
been excellent. ;

Mallory of Duluth and Miss Margaret

The simple fact is that this is the
first game Foley has won from Prince
ton in three years, and in this the
Princeton boys were worthy of their
steel in every inch of the contest and
the game swung in the balance up to
the last minute. when Foley made one
score-not two.
The conduct of the Princeton team
both on the diamond and off was
above criticism, and any statement to
the contrary is wilfully and absolutely
false.
Americans love fair play. Let the

is about three-quarters of an inch

"Spectator' Replies to Foley Tribune.

spectator" Replies to Foley Tribune.
Dear Editor: In it's attempt to give
an account of a recent ball game be-
tween the Princeton and Foley teams
the Foley Tribune gets off this drivel:
"Last Sunday on the Foley
diamond, one of the best games of the
season took place, when Foley shut
out Princeton, in botly contested
game. The rain interrupted the game
twice and it was about $50 when the
game was over. Only two innings
were played before the rain put a stop
to it, and five innings were played
a bout supper time. The Princeton
players, Notwithstanding their crooked
work and own umpire failed to score
in other words they were given the
most thorough trouncing, beating out
classed and laid on the shelf that it
has been their fortune to get this sea-
son. They were thoroughly whipped
at every point outclassed as ball
players and went home with the starch
all taken out of them. They came to
Foley with crack Minneapolis
pitcher, of the j. P. Vos team Sga-
minski and put up the game of their
life, but they we're not in it. They
relied on dirty work, and when this
failed them. they were all in, as they
were called at every turn and proved
easy victims for the strong Foley ag-
gegation, which by the way are put
ting up pretty fast game in fact they
are now out of Princeton's class and
will take on bigger games in the
future. The features of the game were
Strands fielding and Clark's batting.
1t was hummer, and the boys are
certainly entitled to a big mark for
:skinning the dirty Princeton players. -
This is just the sort of rot that
sdegrades the country newspaper and
brings discredit to the town that sup
ports it.
There was nothing in this game to
cause the Tribune man to lose either
his head or his composition book.
His garbled and contradictory state
ments are so absurd that they put the
laugh on himself

were "easy victims, beaten, trounced
and skinned at every point" where

tested" and "the best game of the
season?'' s-
If the Trib. man were scholar he
would know better than to make such
foolish statements. Had he regard
for truth he would not have made

been fair he would not try to deceive
by alleging ''crooked'' work where
there was none; had he properly

LIGHTNING'S FRANKS.

Electric Fluid Strikes Mrs. Newton's House
and Greenbush Catholic Church.
During the electrical storm on Sun
day night lightning struck the west
side of the main part of Mrs. Mary
Newton's dwelling house, between a
window and the roof and, following
the telephone wire to the caves trough
of he-porch, entered the house. In it's
course it ripped off few shingles,
loosened the plaster on the wall and
fractured several lathes. In addition
to this no damage was done. The
interior of the house at the time the
lightning struck, says Fred Holm,
presented the appearance of a pyro-
technic display. Upon every door
knob and other piece of metal the
lightning cut up fantastic capers and
the illumination was grand though
almost binding in it's intensity.
From the interior of the house the
electric fluid disappeared in all direc-
lions. Mrs. Newton and Mrs. Holm
were much frightened at the time, but
luckily escaped injury. s,...
On Wednesday of last week the
Catholic church at Greenbush was
stuck by lightning but no material
damage was effected. The bolt struck
the chimney of the edifce and coursed
down on the inside, going through the
stove and entering the floor. At the
point where the fluid left the church
the flooring was raised but not splin-
tered. Together with a slight crack on
the inside of the chimney this consti-
tuted the total damage.
