A Fire Fighting PdrS0n.
(Capitan INews.)
Range.

Saturday night, while the Southw' stern
Hotel was burning, the tall foIm of Rev.
R. P, Pope, the genial Baptist mini Ter
from Ruiduso, was conspicuous among
the fire fgh ers. The minister is very
tall, 1.-the and active, and his efforts to
subdue the flames reminded those who
eaw him of his "fre-fghting" qualities
in the pulpit, TO which he has devoted
most of his life, trying to rescue human
souls from the danger of falling head
long into that region below where Satan
is head fireman. In fact, to the most OBJ
servant he appeared like huge hose.
cart and certainly justified the compar;.
son; water was hard to get but by come
means he got hold of bucket that
seemed to be inexhaustible, and kept up
a continuous play on the fire. The
minister, Of course believes in the efforts
of layer on all occasions, and also of
the saving power of plenty of water on
some occasions. Only for brief
moment did the reverend pastor cease
work, and that was when an over-zealous,
but excited, Individual, dashed bucket
of water on the fire, which, however,
went wide of the mark, and hit the
miuiter full, sprinkling him from head to
foot. Sprinking would natural y dis.
turb the equaninity of Baptist at any
time who believes that immersion only
can save, so the feelings OF the reverend
gentleman can be more easily imagined
than described, as he mildly rebuked tho
young mau who had deluged him with
water: Brother, that bucket OF water
would have had better effect if you had
| thrown it on the fire; besides. brother,
l have been Baptised once, and believe
| am saved. We are now trying to save
this building, and il you confine your
efforts to the fire we may yet succeed"
| The minister shook the water from his
dripping locks and continued to fight the
flames with renewed vIgor. journal.

What has b6COTn6
Of tbs Bonds?

At regular meeting of the Honorable
Commissioners Court for this county
held at Estancia, January 6, 1908,
block of ground was rendered said Court
for a county court house site, which off
er was accepted blythe said court. And
at the prior meeting of the court, bonds
We're voted in the sum of $4,000, of
which SO, 900 was to be used in the ere
ction Of a court house and jail and SIS,
900 to be used as current expense funds.
At the regular meeting in January, one,
Mr.. Bergere, of Santa Fe, made pro.
position to purchase said bonds and pro
posed to have the funds here within
thirty days. After all the preliminaries
were arranged, Mr.. Bergere was given
authority to sell the bonds for the county
and it was conceded fact that work would
commence on the court house by March
1st. Almost ninety days have elapsed
and as yet nothing has been done in the
way of bond sale or work on the build
ing. If Mr.. Bergere is unable to fulfil
his part of the agreement for any reason,
the commissioners should seek recourse
through other channels.
| have been credibly informed that
there were parties here, some time since
willing, able and anxious to purchase
said bonds at par value, which was
liberal offer, considering the stringency
of the money market and the high rate at
which discounts are made, especially in
the west. At present we could not expect
to sell at premium, all conditions consi-
dered, At the meeting in January, 1908,
Judge Easley of Santa t'e was pre-
sent, representing the territorial peni-
tentiary and had bills against the county
for several hundred dollars, and under
his instructions was to enter suit against
the county for services rendered unless
some satisfactory arrangements could
bemade, whereby the penitentiary might
receive her just dues The arrangement
between the commissioners and Mr.
Bergere for the floating of the bonds,
was satisfactory to Mr. Easley, and he
agreed to await results before taking
action, against the county. Should the
present condition of affairs continue,
and the penitentiary be compelled to
take action against the county in the
courts to recover said bill, the credit of
-he county would be impaired to such
an extent that bonds willnot meet with
50 ready sale as if the matters were ad-
]usted outside the court. J. |. Rawson.

APPELLATE COURT DECISION
But Coeur d'Alene River Far
mers May Sue Again.
THE FAMOUS TAILINCS CASE
IT Injunction is Granted Mining
Industry Would Suffer.

In the United States circuit court
OF appeals at San Francisco. Nov. 8,
an opinion was handed down in the
appeal Of the agricultural interests OF
the Occur d'Alene river valley against
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mining
and Concentrating company ct al.
representing the Mineowner,' associa.
tion. The decision of the circuit
court OF Idaho was adverse to the
agrIcultuIists and this was aftirmed
by the appellate court with the modi.
f1cation that the complaint OF Timo.
thy Mccarthy, William Raney and
Elmer Doty, the appellants. should
have been dismissed without preju.
dice.
The suit involves large interests.
On one side are arraved the ranchmen,
representing $8O0.OO0 in property,
and the Occur d'Alene mines, repre-
senting $4,000, 900 of invested CAPT
tai, are on the other. 1t was claimed
that the mills of the mining compan.
les so polluted the waters Of the river
that they poisoned the live stock,
rendered. the crops unstable and 50
Tiled the river with silt that it was
no longer navigable. An injunction
was asked fpr.
In reply the mineOwners contended
that no damage had been done since
they had built expensive retaining
dams; that the waters were navigable
and that the output of the mines of
the disputed section produced over
800, 900 in excess of the value Of
the entire agricultural products Of
the state and valley. They claimed
that ii the Injunction was granted
$l2, 200. 900 OF the capital would be
tied up, $25, 100000 loss would be
entailed on the owners, the inhabit-
ants of that region would suffer loss
of $50 900, 900 and that the develop
ment OF the resources Of the state
would be paralyzed and the mining
industry ruined.
"The dismissal of this suit without
prejudice practically leaves the Ques.
tion involved unsettled" said At.
torney w. T. Stowell, "as it gives
these three men, who are all the
compiainants in the case, right
again to bring suit"
