Progress Of the Great Northern

Cook 4 Sons have two more piers to
complete on the new bridge at Albeni
Falls, which will take about four weeks
more. The steel workers are putting in
the first span of their work and have
five spans to erect, which take them
from 10 to IA days per span. 1t will be
perhaps Feb. before the bridge will be
ready for use.
The work of laying heavier steel on
this division of the Great Northern is all
completed except in the immediate vi
entity of Newport. The new steel is
laid within half mile west of town and
q mile and half east of the Falls. On
this stretch the new steel will not be
laid until the revision of the line is COM
pleted.
One steam shovel is employed east of
the falls. The material taken ont for
the change of tracks in that vicinity IS
being used to widen out the big fill
across the Meadows, there beng no other
place at present to use the material
taken out by the shovel.

Two Fires in Twenty-f0ur Hours

Monday morning at about s O'Clock
the residence of Mr.. Grain, in Anker-
sons addition on the Idaho side was
discovered TO be on fire. When dis
covered the fire had made such head
way that it was impossible to do more
than save some of the furniture from
the lower rooms. No one was at home
at the time as Mrs. Grain had gone
down town and it is thought the fire
caught from the kitchen stove The
loss on the house, about 5000, was total
and there was no insurance A strange
thing in connection of the fire is that
if it had occurred ten minutes later
another party would have been the
loser by it as Mr.. Grain was completing
a deal for it's sale when the alarm was
given.
Tuesday morning about 80 an alarm
was sent in from the new Seeley resi-
dence. Arising at an early hour Mr.
Seeley discovered the house to be filed
with smoke which was coming up
through the floor in front OF the fire.
place. A few people were aroused by
the ringing of the church bell and tele-
phoee calls and the fire was soon put
out by breaking in the cement base of
the fireplace and cutting holes into the
floor. A joist in the floor had become
ignited from the heat of the fireplace
and had evidently smouldered for some
time without breaking into a blaze.
This is the second time within few
months that the Seeleys have had fire
troubles, their fine home having been
totally destroyed in June and they had
but recently moved into the new one.
Fortunately the damage in the last fire
will not exceed $25.
These fires have served the good pur-
pose Of calling the attention of the town
council to the needs of the town of fire
