NonPartisan Address Delivered on the Land Legislation

Congressman Thos. r. Hamer, Of st.

this city on last evenings train and
surprised some of his supporters who
were not aware that he was expected.
In spite of this fact a large number
of his friends gathered at the Com

LOCAL MILITIA
TO FIGHT FIRE
Gov. Brady Orders Militia to
COuer d'AIene.
SECOND IDAHO INFANTRY GOES
TO FIGHT FIRE.
Company D., Local Guardsmen, Leave
Camp at American Lakes, Wash,
to Aid In Checking Flames.

telegram was received In this city
by Sam Crismor Tuesrday afternoon
from Company D OF the Second Idaho
Infantry, which has been In camp at
American Lakes, Washington, as fol-
lows:
Second Idaho Infantry leaves this
p. m. for Couer d'Alene to fight forest
fire. All we'll. Notify newspapers.
According to this reliable telegram
the local guardsmen are now bravely
lighting the great enemy of the lives,
property and forests of the northwest
the fire fiend.
Never before, in the history of Idaho,
has there been such widespread de-
ivastation by forest fires as is now oc-
curing in the northern part Of the
state. Not alone is the fire confined to
Idaho. 1t is raging in Washington,
Oregon and Montana, as well.
One-half the town of Wallace, Idaho,
a little city Of 5000 inhabitants, has
been utterly destroyed by fire result
ing in property loss of probably ST.
100000, or more Practically every
bridge In the Wallace country has
been burned
The various daily papers from the
cities of the northwest are filled with
thrilling accounts of the flight of the
people from the different towns so
gravely threatened with utter destruc-
ton, and of the heroic fight with the
red demon by rangers, citizens and
soldiers, and of their narrow escapes
from terrible death. Indeed many
brave fighters have fallen and the
general loss of life will probably reach
large number.
The sympathy of the people of
southern Idaho goes out to the people
of the north who have lost homes, pro-
perty and loved ones through the des-
troying fire fiend.

personal inquiry and observation,
that a large number of reclamation
projects, partly completed but use
less in their present state, are held
up by reason OF lack OF money to
complete them. And lnasmuch as a
large number OF settlers have filed
claims on the lands which are TO be
watered from these reclamation res.
ervoirs. and as much hardship and
injustice would follow the failure
to complete the projects. the presl-
dent took the matter In hand and
made the recommendation he did for
government relief to the amount OF
