A Disastrous Fire at Sea.
Valet ia, Island of Malta. Dispatch. 25th.

Valet ia, Island of Malta. Dispatch. 25th
A terrible disaster, in which
more than a hundred persons lost
their lives, occurred at the en-
lance to this port this morning.
The British steamer Sardinia, of
the Ellerman line hailing from
Liverpool, and bound for Alex
andria with a crew of forty
four Englishmen, eleven first and
sixteen second cabin English
passengers and nearly two hun
dred Arab pilgrims aboard,
caught fire and within a few
minutes was a roaring furnace,
the flames bursting upward to a
height of two hundred feet, from
frequent explosions in the hold.
So rapidly did the fire spread
that the frantic efforts of the
crew to operate the fire appara-
tus proved useless, for it seemed
but a moment before the upper
works and masts crashed down
upon the deck, while the ships
boats crushed by the falling de-
bris or set fire and quickly
burned.
Safety lay only in the sea, for
no one could save himself except
by jumping overheard and taking
chances of being picked up. As
sistance was hurried to the burn
ing vessel from all the warships
in the harbor and from the shore,
but the work of rescue was
greatly impeded by the strong
tide that was running. Even
the naval launches were unable
to go alongside. Among the Arabs
there was a panic that could not
be controlled. Many of them
were too frightened to jump and
they were burned to death.
Others, casting themselves into
the waves, were drowned.

of over $650,000 during this present
administration.
State Officers Made Independent.
when the Republicans became SUI
preme in the state, the engineers Of
flee was not making enough to pay
clerk hire. During this administration
1t will earn over $4,000. The state
game warden's office was in the same
condition. During this administra-
ton it will earn over $4,000. The
state treasurer's office had about $3,-
100000 the same as 1t now has, and
was not productive of a penny. A
Republican legislature passed a law
placing these moneys on interest, pro-
yiding that they should be loaned to
the banks of this state. They will
earn you during this administration
$4,000, as against $4,000 in the
Democratic administration. The sec
rotary of states office was not or
ganized in manner which would
pay his salary. The Republicans
passed a law taxing all corporations,
both foreign and domestic, except
mining companies which were not
earning dividends, for doing business
in this state, which win bring in dur
ing this administration over s163. 900.
Nov, that makes over 100000 in
come which we are getting for this
state Added to the $650,000 referred
to you have over s950.000 which this
administration has earned you to the
present time. I think that will COM
pare very favorably with the indolent
way in which our Democratic friends
wish us to handle things.
Development Under Carey Act.
Fourteen years ago a bill was
passed, called the Carey act. which
gave to each state a million acres of
land, to be used for irrigation pur-
poses, If it would be improved. Idaho
was one of the first to take hold of
| the matter. The land segregated was

while surrounding these lands were
left unclaimed thousands OF acres of
the most fertile soil, to be later seized
upon by spectators. During one
Democratic administration almost
1904 acres of the finest white pine
timber in the world, practically In a
single tract. was sold at an average
price of little over SIS an acre. while
at the same time the purchasers of
this state timber were paying private
owners from five to ten times as much
per acre for similar contiguous tim
Der lands. There was an apparent at
tempt to loot the resources of the
state, which was not stopped until
the people voted the Democrats out
of power. The sales of timber on
state lands during the last four years
have been exclusively of small bodies
and of isolated tracts, under great
danger of destruction by fire, and yet
the state has received an average of
over $12 an acre for this relatively in
ferior timber. This itself would seem
a sufficient commentary on the diff
ference In the wisdom of an import
ant public trust between the Repub-
lican and Democratic administrations
Republicans Protect Timber.
During the years of Democratic
many thousands of acres of valuable
timber, which the state administra-
ton was continually hawking about
in eastern markets, at any price, thou
sands of acres were destroyed by for
est fires, and no systematic effort was
made to prevent such losses. I'm
der Republican administrations there
has practically been no destruction OF
state timber by fire. The state has
established a fire patrol, and notwith-
standing each year destructive forest
fires have ragged in various parts of
Idaho, the states timber holdings have
gone unscathed. 1t is conservatively
estimated that during the six years of
Democratic rule in Idaho, the average
yearly loss of state timber by fire was
in excess of 100000, while during
Governor Goodings administration
the total loss has not exceeded $4,000.
In north Idaho. where the principal
portion of the states timber hold

ings are located, the state has Joined
the large timber owners in the work
of protecting the forests, paying its
proportion of the total cost. This fire
protection cost during the year 1907
about $4,000.
Complete Records Are Made.
Under Governor Gooding the state
land department has made thorough
records. Every acre of land owned
by the state has been plated. its value
estimated and typographical map
made. The timber lands have all
been estimated both as to quantity
and value. and perfect system of
books have been written. Many mat
ters of disagreement and misunder-
standing between the general land Of
flee at Washington. d. c.. and the
state have been settled amicably, and
the state has profited to the extent
of many thousands of dollars in this
manner alone.
Comparison of Earnings.
The profitableness of the business
administration promised by Governor
Gooding, and given the state by him
and the Republican officers, can not
be shown In more graphic way than
by quoting the records of the land de-
partment, taking first the period from
the beginning of statehood until jan
uary /, 1905, and last the period from
January /, 1905, to September ,
1908. What did the Democrats do
for the people by their handling of
this great trust, which 1t is estimated.
if properly handled from the begin
ming, was worth at least $50 900, 900 :?
During the IA years of statehood
prior to January 1, 1905, the total
cash receipts of the state land depart
ment were $1,404,1 1920. Almost half
of this amount was on account of the
sale of timber on about $4,000 acres
of state land These timber sales
aggregated s699.320.31. The actual
earnings of the land department dur
ing the IA years to January /, 1906,
were $477,638.45. These earnings

The greatest political demonstration
in the history of Idaho preceded the
speech of Governor" James Fl. Brady
in Boise, October 16. The event
was an important epoch in campaign
history, and his address beftted the
occasion in its simple strength. Ex-
tracts from his discussion of the vital
principles and issues involved in the
present contest are as follows:

lieye in an organized party but not

Conditions in Idaho were changed
when the Republican party came Into
power. Men of honor, integrity, abil-
ity and good judgment took the helm,
wrestling it from those who were dis
posing of your timber and had squan-
dered for you over S20,000,000 de-
rived from it, not with the intention
to steal, but through incapacity. That
was stopped and land preserves were
put on a sound basis by that substan-
tial citizen, Governor Morrison. The
land board reorganized and COM
menced the sale of this property, and
1t has been selling ever since. / wish
to call your attention to the fact that
during the entire Democratic admin
istration there had not been $4,000
a year income from all these re-
sources. You now have over three
and one-half million dollars out at
interest at this time for land sales by
this Republican administration. In
addition, there was found a great area
