A large crowd of Mountain Home

not dull moment occurred to mar the
pleasure of the day. the ball game
was thriller and although the home
team failed to connect with the win
ming score, still the large crowd pre-
sent was well pleased with the game.
The races were good and the music by
the band was pleasing and caused many
remarks of surprise from those who
were unaware of the push and en-
thusiasm that has made the band pos
sible.
The Glenns Ferry people are gooc

of praise are heard from those whs

EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING FIRE
Niukirk Residence Completely De-
stroyed-- d--Contents Nearly
All Saved

Last Sunday morning at about 8 80
O. clock fire was discovered in the
home of Mrs. J. w. Nieukirk. A
large crowd was soon on hand and in
very short time had carried the furn-
iture and contents of the house to a
place of safety. The department en-
deavored to save the house but the
flames had gained such headway the
efforts of the boys were futile and
their efforts were turned to the saw
ing of nearby buildings that We're in
danger from the flames.
Owing to the fact that little or no
rain or moisture has fallen in several
weeks the building was thoroughly
dry and seasoned and the fire COM
pletely demolished the house in less
than three hours. At times the in
terror seemed solid mass of flames
and the heat was terrific. The little
chemical that has done good service il
the city at various times was unable
to check the fire effectively, although
the flames were considerably subduet
when the hose was turned into the
thick of the fire. The head way was
too great for any effectual work wher
the fire was discovered.
The origin is somewhat of mys
terry. At first it was generally sup
posed the fire started from the ex
plosion of gasoline or oil stove bu
it developed that there was not al
oil or gas stove in the house. Mrs
Nieukirk had passed down stairs AM
through the kitchen and was at tn
rear of the house watering the law
when the fire was discovered. Sh
did not notice fire or the odor o
smoke and did not start a fire of an,
description in the kitchen and is at al
utter loss to account for the origin.
The house was not insured and tn
loss is total one

Butter Packages Short Weight

An investigation of the weight of
butter being sold by local creameries

Food Commissioner, who visited the
Cascade creamery Saturday and found
some short weight. butter on hand
which he ordered held until further
investigation could be made. The
matter was placed before the county
attorney by the pure food commits

that he had the matter under inves.i-

Congress Organized.

The Dry Farming congress is now
organized, with some persistency and
determination to be heard from in the
matter of urging its claims upon the
attention of the public. The faith
that the promoters and operators of
this association have in their claims
of dry farming methods. we'll carried
out, cannot be questioned, says the
editor of the Twentieth Century
Farmer. The experiences and results
of careful and persistent work in crop
growing efforts are the evidence that
is offered in testimony of the feasibil-
ity of dry farming methods and dry
farming as an industry.
1t is not surprising that there are
the doubtful, the skeptical, the un-
believer in converting the dry land
of the arid west to agricultural pur-
poses. the growing of crops. the cul-
tivation of orchards and forests, the
establishing of homes and the build
ing up of commercial interests and
industries on these lands; we say that
it is not surprising that some hesi-
tate. that they doubt the availability
of sucffiient moisture to grow crops ;
that they forecast seasons uf drouth.
etc. All these things had their
period and have exerted their in
fuence to discourage and prejudice the
mind of the public as the settle
