FIRE DAMAGES
NEW RESIDENCE
C.. W. WERNICkE'S HANDSOME
NEW HOME THREATENED
BY FLAMES.

The handsome new residence thai
c. w. Wernicke is erecting on his
property had a narrow escape from
total destruction by fire early last
Friday morning. On Thursday a
small fire had been started in the
fireplace in the front room and as
ne fire had been eXtinguished be-
fore the departure of the workmen
after The days work, nothing more
was thought of it, In the cOnStruc
ilon of the flue the wOrkmen had
made a bungle of the job as 1t
was left entirely open between the
cealing and the floor above, with
no connection with the chimney
mat leads out of the building, and
thereby causing the sparks from the
fireplace to ignite the timbers be-
tween the ceiling and floor. 1t is
evident that the fire smoldered all
night as it was not discovered until
the next morning when the smoke
was seen coming from an upstairs
window. AS soon as discovered,
the alarm was given, the fire de-
partment responding promptly and
extinguished the flames but not I'M
til a great deal Of damage had been
done by water and it was necessary
10 cut away a portion Of the upper
floor. But as it is MIR. Wcrnicke
came out quite lucky as the manner
in which The chimney had been
constructed was bound to cause a
ire at some later date. The build
was iullN covered by insurance.

MAGIC DAM NEAR
COMPLETIO
MONSTER STEAM SHOVELS ARE
SILENT BIG CAMP Is NOW
DESERTED.

Earth work was finished out at
the big reservoir dam last week and
now il is all in the hands Of the
rock AM concrete men. The big
steam shovels that have been tear
ing up the acres Of earth to fill the
Gam are silent and dead; they are
TO be- dismantled and shipped away
10 the next job. The road which
Ter so long has been crowded with
materials and supplies for the great
dam is now almost as crowded with
Jeans bringing stuff back steel
rails, machinery, and all the para
phernalia that is used in the two
years camp for a thousand men.
But il doesn't all come back-the
hundreds Of tons Of cement steel
pilng, thousands of tons Of coal,
of provisions, Of horse feed that
have been used on the job. For u
long time, from 1000 to 1900 tons
Of freight were hauled out from
here besides all the beef and hay
and grain that was collected and
taken in from other points
1t is a much quieter place out
there now than it has been The
great bank of earth, where so many
men have toiled for two years, is
finished; the spilway and wing
dam. stretching out across the prai-
ric to the westward is ready for the
water to be turned in; only the
rock facing Of the main dam, and
lhe concrete work on the control
fewer and the final placing of the
valves and gates remains to be DONE
Christmas will probably see the
place deserted by all but the keep
er. It has been herculean job
but ii is now almost done.

coming winter to irrigate the whole
100000 acres of the Idaho Irriga-

THE DREAMER IN EVIDENCE.

The dreamer may be regarded as
AN impractical man or woman, but
1t is a fact nevertheless that the
beginning of progress in any and
every field of human endeavOr Is a
dream, an ideal.
In the dim ages of mystery some
one dreamed of power and dominic
and a nation was born. The ideals
of the early Greeks were wrought
out by cunning brains and skillful
hands and a civilization founded
that was the basis of all future pro
gress. Steam escaping from a tea
kettle awoke a vision that was
realized in the steam engine. The
wonders of electricity have been re
Vealed by the dreams of daring me
who Jared enter the realms of the
invisible.
These dreams are often long in
coming true and many may never
be realized. What boy or girl has
not wanted to fly like a bird? But
the ages have come and gone and
only recently has the bird-man be-
come a fact.
The early Christians looked for
the second coming of Christ in thel
uay but the greater part of two
centuries have passed and their
dreams are still untitled.
The awakening of China has long
been predicted. II is now a fact.
That country now boasts of 1000
miles of railroad, many modern
schools and modern army.
Cecil Rhodes dreamed of a rail-
road from Cairo to Cape Town, a
distance of 300 miles. Now 1900
Of track are laid. and the Afr
can continent will soon be travers-
ed by railroads from end to end.
A new social order has been
dreamed of. II may never come
true, but social progress is being
made all the time
Daring women dreamed of equal
political and industrial rights for
the fair sex. Progress has been
SLOW but sure. The dream is being
realized.
All homer. then, TO the dreamer
whose dreams come true.
