TOWN ON FIRE
Volunteer Firemen and Excellent
Water System Saves Bonners Ferry

The people of Boomers Ferry
were awakened from their peaceful
slumbers last Tuesday morning, be-
tween the hours of three sand four,
by the dread alarm of fire. 1t has
been years since Boomers Ferry
had a serious fire, and not being
used to such things, there was un-
usually great excitement.
The fire broke out in Tom Reil-
ly's saloon and before it could be
put out it destroyed the saloon
building and one building on each
side of it. That the greater part
of the town did not burn up is due
to the water system and, the will
ing and effective work of the volun-
teer firemen.
Just how the fire originated is
not known, as no one around Reil-
ly's place was able to tell When
the fire was discovered the Reilly
place was all in flames, and no one
could get inside to save anything.
The management had locked up
about 2.3O am, and the fire was
discovered about $50 Volunteer
fireman brought out the hose carts
and made good time considering
that no one was on the scene who
was familiar with the location of
the equipment. But by the time
the hose was coupled onto the hyd-
rants the flames were rolling up
into the sky from three buildings,
and the fourth was just catching.
1t looked serious. But once the
water was turned on, there was
nothing to it, and it was soon
under control. The water system
proved its efficiency. The pressure
was fine, and the water company
received enough compliments to
balance up all previous kicks. AS
an illustration of what the fireman
were able to do, it may be mention
ed that the entire roof and one side
of the Kent building, was in flames

In our report of the meeting of
the Bonner County Republican
Central Committee, published
March 2S, the HERALD said:
On local candidates for state officers, Hon
Robert s. Bragaw. for state treasurer, has
many friends throughout the county, but his
friends did not deem the occasion proper one
to precipitate contest with the friends of the
candidate for attorney general, and the resolu-
tisns went through without opposition.
The above fair and impartial
statement of the facts was the basis
for an attack on the Chairman of
the county committee by the Pend
d. Oreille Review in its issue of
April 4. The Review says:
S. D. Taylor, Chairman OF the Republican
Committee, makes it known through his paper
at Bonners Ferry that the friends of State
Auditor Brsgaw are not satisfied to allow II. H
Taylor to have Il delegation from this county
for attorney general and that later on at the
county convention Mr.. Bragaw's friends will
endeavor to have delegation named to the
state convention in his favor.
Chairman Taylor cannot make very
fast progress toward the goal OF harmony if he
insists upon his position and carries his fight
into the county convention.
The Review is unfair, unjust, and
its comment is Intentionally mis-
leading. We defy it to point to a
single act of the Chairman, or to a
single utterance of the Boomers
Ferry HERALD, that has not been
absolutely fair and impartial to all
candidates. The fact that the editor
of theHERALDis also the Republican
chairman of Bonner County has
caused us to studiously avoid any
newspaper comments calculated to
show a preference for one candidate
over another. AS to the acts oil
the chairman, the editor of the Re.
view knows, and a good many
other Republicans in Standpoint
know. that the Review editor has
no just cause for complaint, but
that on the other hand he has beer
treated with every consideration
The committee was called together
early that he might exploit his
May convention scheme. In fact
! the editor of the Review has asked
for and obtained about all the fay
ors that have been asked by indi

when the firemen turned on the
water. This building while dam
aged, was saved. 1t was a frame,
with cloth and paper. II was
standing right beside one Of the
buildings burned, the two being
joined.
The buildings burned down were
on the west side of main Street,
near the river bank. One was the
city Jail. The other two were small
buildings belonging to J. r. Cook,
Jr. The value of three was not
great. There was no insurance
except on Reilly's fixtures, which
carried $500.
The fire drew out a large crowd
of people, many of whom where
pretty badly scared when they
reached the fire, but their conf
dence was soon restored when they
saw how the volunteers han the
fire under control
This was the first test Of the
water system as fire fighting pro-
position aud to say that it surpas-
sed all expectations is putting it
mildly. Travelling men who were
in town state that they never saw
any better work in city. The
volunteer fremen deserve all the
praise that can be given them, and
while it happened that they did as
good work as an organized COM
pany, but this might not always be
the case, and we should hdve an
organization. Another thing that
was demonstrated was that the
town has only about half enough
hose. 1t was all needed in the
three lines that played on the fire,
while had there been a wind blow
ing, making IL necessary to protect
other property, there would have
been no hose to work with.
1t is a matter of congratulation
that the town escaped so luckily,
but it should be warning to be on
the alert and be prepared.

vidual Republicans of Bonner
County. The balance of the party
seems to have been content with a
square deal which they knew they
were getting.
But to cut it short, the whole
trouble with the Pend d. Oreille
Review is that it is trying to work
off some machine politics in the
name of Harmony. Information
reached this office several weeks
ago that slate had already been
made up and that the thing was to
be rushed through in an early May
convention for fear it might mis-
carry if the Republican voters of
the county were given a little time
in which to get posted. The Review
had method in its madness, to all
appearances, when it advocated an
early May convention. The Re-
publican Central Committee did a
wise thing when it postponed the
convention to August, for sooner or
later the deal would have become
public, and there would have been
a revolt among the voters, and pos
sible disaster to the Republican
party.
Now, as to the candidacy of Hon.
Robt. S. Bragaw for state treasurer,
and Hon. H. H. Taylor for attor-
ney general, we can not see why
the candidacy of either gentlem an,
submitted fairly and openly to the
Republican primaries, should in
any way endanger party harmony.
The contrary proposition is pre-
posterous. In exposing its vexa-
ton towards Mr.. Bragaw because
be proposes to submit his claim
to the entire party at the primaries,
the Review again tips off its slate
program.
The ranting of the Pend d'Oreille
Review about harmony bears all
the earmarks of hypocrisy. If it
is so anxious about harmony, why
does it indulge in gross person
alities and belittling comparisons
Read the paragraph in the HER
AID. reproduced above, to which
the Review takes exception, and
then note how the Review attempts
to put the chairman of the county
committee in a false position. But
we pass that by with the contempt
that it deserves.
We shall state our position with
regard to Hon. Robt. S. Bragaw
frankly. When he made the an
nounoement some months ago that
he was candidate for State Treas
urer, the HERALD gave his candid
acy its cordial endorsement, and
gave its reasons therefor. Many
individuals in Bonner County did
the same thing-Hon. H. H. Taylor
among others. The HERALD has seer
no reason to change its views since
The chairman of a County Com
mittee has as good right to have
opinions as anyone else. He per-
haps has no right to use his officia
position to advance the interests o
one candidate over another. Any
one who charges that the present
chairman is doing so is "a wilfu
liar. 1t is the duty of county
chairman to endeavor to see tina
all candidates have a fair show al
the primaries and this the presen
chairman of the Committee will
endeavor to do, regardless of how
it may effect him personally, an'
in the language of one of our fore
fathers, "If this be treason, make
the most of it,.

amulet.
The fire broke out in the rooms
occupied by the dowager empress,
and although everything seemed to
have been destroyed, the tiny cruel
fix which contained the relic was
discovered unhurt. So great was the
gratitude of the imperial family that
they determined to found an order
