ONTARIO, OREGON.

A house owned by Hon. Fred
Keisel of Ogden, Utah, and occupied
by Mr.. Whitesides, burned May Gath,
while the family was at church. The
Sunday dinner had been left to cook
and in some way the fire started from
the cookstove. The whole interior
was ablaze before the fire was dis
covered and when the fire company
arrived on the scene they could do
nothing but prevent the fire from
spreading to the adjacent buildings
Grandma Whitesides had, the even
ing before, deposited 500 which she
had kept in the house in the bank a
very fortunate move, as nothing was
saved from the building.

ADDRESS,:
Secretary Taft Tells of His Trip.

Secretary of War William H. Taft
arrived at Charleston, s.. c., from
Panama at noon on the 18th, and,
after spending a few hours in the city
during which time he was met and
greeted by a number of officials and
friends, left for Washington.
The secretary dined with Major
Rhett and held an informal,reception
afterward at the Charleston hotel.
Secretary Taft talked freely with re-
gard to general conditions in Pana-
ma, but said that he did not wish to
be quoted on such matters as the re-
lations of the United States and Pan
ANA, which has been suggested as
possible reason for his trip, and he
would not discuss the coming cleo
lions to be held in Panama.
"The Isthmus now presents he
said, "an appearance not unlike a
factory or mill village, or some sue
cession of villages clear across, and
the lights at night and the noises,
too, might keep one awake if not
tired enough to sleep we'll"
Secretary Taft was the guest of
Col. Goethals, chairman of the COM
mission at Culebra, and from his win
dow, he said, the scene was most in
teresting. The health of the Canal
Zone is now excellent. The houses
generally are protected with screens
and the people seem comfortable and
happy. Labor conditions have great
ly improved in all departments, and
the use of Spaniards as laborers
seems to have started rivalry with
those at work previously that will
be good for the advancement of work.

President Always Bets on Idaho.

Salesman: Fresh from the scenes
of the Merry Widow" and other
metropolitan. attractions, E. M. Hoo
yer arrived yesterday after an enjoy
able visit east where he accompan-
led Gov. Gooding at the conference
of governors called by President
Roosevelt.
ut was the first time," said Mr..
Hoover to Statesman reporter,
that all the governors of the states
had ever been called together. In
cluded in the invitations were many
prominent scientists, university pres
idents, statesmen and men of large
affairs. Practically all of the great
eastern newspapers and some for
eign publications, featured the con-
vention as new page in history; as
timely and progressive movement,
the results of which were far-reach-
ing THE object being to consider
the gravest problems that this coun-
try has to solve, the subjects were
most ably presented and earnestly
received, marking the opening of a
campaign of education to the end of
outstanding our natural resources
and saving our national advantages.
las j. ]. Hill very aptly put it,
this conference of governors Is like
a meeting of the board of directors
of the United States.
"The great papers of the meeting"
continued Mr.. Hoover, were Presi-
dent Roosevelt's opening address, Mr..
Hills speech on Land" Mr.. Car
negie's on Minerals" and Mr.. Longs
on Forests" The gem of the i'm
promptu speeches was by Secretary
Root
"The Idaho delegation was cord
tally received and had good seats in
the historic east room of the White
House where the sessions were held.
The presidents greeting was charac-
teristic. I am mighty glad to see
you. l bet on Idaho every time, as
you know he said
eve were proud of our governor,
especially on Thursday, when he
made short impromptu speech with
excellent delivery and splendid eff
fect-One of the best of the session.
1t was received with applause and the
governor was heartily congratulated
by number of the great men of the
convention. Among other items he
made reference to the gratifying re-
suits of the Carey act, also advocat-
ed state management of national for
ests within the state of idaho for
ests for IDAHO.
20 nthe forest question" said Mr..
Hoover, several eastern states have
taken steps to encourage and make
1t possible for private owners to also
adopt systems of conservative cut
ting and of reforestation, which are
perhaps Of more Importance than that
of the national forests.
"Our state has every reason for
great satisfaction In her representa-
ton in congress. They are making
good. Senators Hepburn and Borah
are men Of much power and influ-
ence In the body and are untiring and
effective workers.
Representative French is very
highly regarded in the house and has
hosts of friends.
I'VE return feeling that It was a
rare privilege to attend such con-
ference, with a higher idea of the
natural advantages Of Idaho and Of
the necessity Of taking proper meas
ures to conserve these resources

Moneyed Men Visit Central Idaho.

Miner: Mr.. Geo. H. Phillips and
his mining expert, DR.. F. A. Wheeler,
both of Chicago, we're in the city on
Wednesday for a few hours, on their
return home from an unsuccessful at
tempt to visit Mr.. Phillips mines,
the Philosophy group in Bear Valley,
the Stanley Basin district, this coun-
ty.
To Miner reporter the gentlemen
explained that they were very desir-
GUS of visiting the mines as much de-
velopment work had been done dur
ing the winter, but no knowledge of
what had been encountered had
reached them for the reason that the
workingmen had been bound in by
snow all winter and that they were
unable to get to the property owing
to the presence of snow. Mr.. Phil
lips stated that within thirty days
the snow would be sufficiently melted
to enable them to make the trip and
he, with car of his business asso-
ciates, many of whom are interested
with him in some of the big gold pro-
ducers in Nevada, will come in again
and 60 over the district from here
to his mines in Bear Valley, and that
they will be greatly surprised over
the many remarkable deposits goes
without saying.
Mr.. Phillips, though very young
man, has high name in the world Of
finance, not only through his opera
lions in corn, but also on account
of his successful career in the min
ing world, being one of the promi-
nent leasers of some of the wonders
of Goldfield where he also owns sew
eral paying mines that are among
the most attractive.
Dr. Wheeler is president of the
National Chemists union and a min
ing expert of high authority. He
was in Central Idaho in the early
days and has never forgotten the
great possibilities of the country in
a mining way, although of late years
he has confined his trips almost ex-
clusively to Nevada. It was upon his
recommendation that the Mohawk
mine of Nevada was developed to its
wonderful producing capacity and he
told the writer that Custer county
had as great possibilities as any belt
he had ever visited.
They report much interest mani
tested by mining men in Central Ida
no affairs and their knowledge of re-
cent strikes plainly show that they
have kept themselves informed of the
steady progress the country is max
ing. 1t is their opinion that the sea-
son is ripe for the country to get
the outside help that it has long
needed and that they intended doing
some of the most lively pushing the
country may ever expect to receive,
being convinced of the gerat merit of
the whole belt. All are convinced
that this is all the Central Idaho
country needs to make it the richest
and biggest producer in the west. The
visit of Mr.. Phillips and his expert
is evidence of the fact that the
money of the country has at last
tumbled onto one of the most mar
velous but neglected mining districts
of the United States. Their return
and operations are anxiously awaited.
