Two Small Fires Monday

The fire laddies were called into
action twice last Monday. In the
afternoon they we're called to the
property formerly owned by Mr..
Greene in the northwest part of town
where blaze in small out building
threatened the surrounding buildings.
The fire was extinguished in a short
time with little damage. In the
evening the alarm called them to the
residence of jim Tye. The children
in some maner acciden,ly caught fire
to the lace draperies and for some
few moments the house was in great
danger of destruction. The fire
alarm was turned in, but before the
firemen reached the scene of the blaze
the fire had been put out by those in
the house. In both instances the fire
boys responded promptly and were
on hand in very short space of
time.

When interviewed by representative

expert armature winder arrived in the
city yesterday and will go over the

wired for and shipped to the city with
out delay" He continued, "We are
extremely anxious to place the plant
in good running order and no expense
will be spared in so repairing it, that
there will be no more trouble in the
future. A newest type Westinghouse
volt and amlneter and an oil circuit
has been recently installed which i'm
proves the conditions of the plant con-
siderably. In addition we have now
on tand number of the newest type
and guaranteed Westinghouse record

Mr.. Bell considered il very nm
fortunate that the recent break down
occurred. He stated that the plant was
in good shape aside from the dynamo

Regular Prices During the fair

Seattle, May 10. Visitors at the
Alaska, Yukon, Pacific exposition
which opens at Seattle. June ] and
closes October 16. will be able to
dine to their satisfaction at the city's
leading cafes and restaurants at nor
NAL prices. To leave no doubt as to
the working out of this commendable
spirit on the part of Seattle's cater
ers, they recently met and voted as a
body an agreement binding all rest
aurant, cafe, grill and hotel men to
maintain the present prices through
out the exposition time. and no mem
Der of the organization to which the
caterers belong will be allowed to
take advantage of the opportunity to
reap additional profits as has been
done, despite protests, in previous ex-
position cities.
The action was taken after /. A..
Nadeau, Director General of the A.
Y. P. had addressed the assembled
restaurant men. showing them how
the increased crowds that would fol-
low reasonable charges would not on
Y add to the credit cf the city and
the success of the exposition. but
would mean increase in business.
To the hired help must be given
much of the credit for the continuance
of low prices. Walters, cooks and
helpers of all kinds have entered into
an agreement that the present scale
of wages shall not be tampered with
during the fair.
Seattle will not only have a re-
markable exposition, but will be able
to accommodate the influx of visitors
in way that will be a cause for
lasting satisfaction. Hotels are
many and reasonable, and with fix
ing of normal charges at the eating
houses, from the most aristocratic to
humble lunch counter, tourists may
have no fear of not finding accomoda-
tions.

in this city last Tuesday afternoon
at about 2 o'clock. 1t drew up in
front of the Evans hotel where
large crowd soon gathered to inspect
the famous car that is blazing the
trail for the coast to coast race next
month. The delay in the progress
of the car had increased the curiosity
of the people as they became better
acquainted with the history Of the car
and the obejct of the trip. The car
plainly showed the results of the
two trips it has made in the past two
years and more especially the difficult
drive through the mud during the past
week. The body of the car was we'll
spattered with mud and battered and
stove in in several places. The hood
was covered with a banner carrying
the inscription Pathfinder, New
York to Seattle; Going to Alaska,
Yukon, Pacific Exposition. Some
ingenious booster on the arrival of
the car in the Gritty. pasted "Moun-
tain Home Commercial Club sticker
on the body of the car, which will
serve to give US share of sdvertis-
ing and shows that we still possess
citizens alive and ready to grasp an
opportunity to boost.
The car is guided by George
Miller. the man who was at the
wheel in the great New York to Paris
race and contains c. w. Eaton, his
assistant ]. S. M. Eley. the official
photographer, and L. w. Redington.

including more especially the roads
and conditions along the route.
After stop of few minutes the
car started for Boise where it landed
after run of about three hours. 1t

Garnet Fruit Safe

Geo. P. Hall and j. F. Littooy
were down to Garnet last Sunday
where they visited the fruit ranch
that has made this section OF the
country famous. They brought back
with them branches from apricot,
cherry, apple and other trees which
were uninjured by the late severe
frosts. Apricots were as large as
walnuts and the cherries will be ripe
in thirty days.
Mr.. Hall stated that the fruit in
the ranch was uninjured and gives
promise of the heaviest yield in the
history of the orchard. Horticultur-
ist Field said Carl A. Davis would
have the finest crop of peaches in
the west and practically the only crop
of apricots anywhere in the Pacific
Northwest. Mr.. Hall has the fruit
on display at his home and anyone
interested in the fruit at Garnet and
Southern Idaho will do we'll to call
and inspect the exhibit. When the
damaging frosts Of the past few
weeks are considered. damage that
extends to every fruit section in the
world, the protected and frost proof
ranch at Garnet will be better ap-
preciated by many.

KING HILL TOWN
SITE OPENING
Tracts and Town Lots in Famous Fruit
Section To Be Opened To
Sale May 20

The Elmore Development company
has taken hold of the King Hill town
site and has planned 10 place it on the
market the Goth of this month with
great sale under Carey act rules.
The King Hill country is section
by itself and in class alone from all
other irrigated lands in Idaho. The
lands are very rich in the elements
of plant growth and only wait for
water to make them pour forth their
riches into the lap of the husbandman.
This water is to be supplied by
system of bitches that for engineer
ing features and skill is not surpassed
any place in the west, if equalled.
The Malad river is one of the peculiar
streams of Idaho. 1t breaks forth,
from the foot of high bluff in
deep canyon about three miles from
the Snake river on the north side.
The irrigation company has taken this
stream and carried it across the Snake
river in an inverted siphon, emptied
into ditch and carried for many
miles along the side of a steep cliff
Opposite the town of King Hill a
portion of this water is again taken
across the Snake river and used to ir-
rigate the lands in and around the
townsite. This water is of never
failing source and its unique location
makes its waters inaccessible for any
other irrigation possible. An ever
lasting supply of warm water which
never freezes in winter is assured.
Within the town limits and ad-
joining the town of King Hill the
company owns several hundred acres
of most beautiful land. This they
propose cutting into tracts of from
2 l2 to 10 acres and placing it on
sale on May 20. They will also
place on sale large number of their
best town lot propositions at the same
time and in the same manner.
