There we're times when the situation
with reference to securing this ap-

their power for it's success. Our
legislative delegation was aided by
Representative Featherstone of

Box Factory Burned last Saturday

Bonners Ferry experienced its
second big fire SATURDAY morning
when the plant of the Crescent
Woodenware and Box Mfg. Co was
swept by flames and the greater
part Of it reduced to ashes.
The cause of the conhagratior is
unknown, but it probably started
from a fire built by tramps under a
box car on the siding between the
box factory and warehouse. 1t was
first discovered about $40 a. m. by
emplvees on their way to breakfast
and had already gained consider
able Roadway on the southwest cor
ner of the box factory. The men
all turned out aud fought the fire
with hose and bucket but could not
check it. The engine from town
was rushed to the plant but the
fierce wind blowing from the south
had famed the flames into an un-
comfortable mass of fire, and the
fre-fghters devoted all their efforts
to saving the lumber yard. In less
than two hours the flames had CON
sumed the box factory, the new
pail factory, the warehouse, the
store-house. and was rapidly de.
vouring them
BY careful wat ching and fighting
the fire was kept from the lumber
ward; the dry kiln, engine-hous,
and saw-mill were not harmed
The worst loss was in the destruc
ton of the expensive box-makinl
and cooperage machinery. and the
burning Of six or eight carloads o
pals and boxes and a carload q
hoop iron stored in the ware house
There was also about 10000 fee
of pine lumber destroyed. Onv
small part of the loss was cover {
by insurance.
Some thirty men were thrown
out of work by the fire but the saw
mill is still in operation, and tn
company will endeavor to cut tn
seasons drive the same as ever.
is expected that they will rebuild
but the exact plans will not b
known until the meeting of tn
board of directors this morning.

State Auditor S. D. Taylor ar
rived home last Saturday evening
and will remain during the week.
In speaking of affairs at the state
Capital he said;
"The administration of Governor
James H. Brady is proving an un-
qualified success. The Governor
has lived up to every pledge he
made the people, and was backed
up by Legislature that enacted in
to law every plank in the Republi-
can state platform. The frmness
of Governor Brady in urging the
platform and party pledges in his
inaugural message had much to do
with the action of the Legislature.
He is a man of sound judgement,
with rare tact in bringing to con-
summation the objects that he
seeks. His fidelity to his trust has
further established himself in the
confidence of the people.
Governor Brady is a man accus-
toned to big undertakings. He lie
not satisfied with mere perfunctory
performance of duty but aims at
results. He is man who does
things.
