Near the City.
KOOTENAE VALLEY NOT ExCELLED
Msssrs. Heiderlsan and Crsckwsll are
interviewing Fruit Growers.

The excellence of the Kootenai
Valley is more and more attracting
attention. This week G. W. III.
Heidermsn accompanied by W. E.
Crockwell are making tour OF the
Valley, interviewing each fruit
grower to ascertain which variety
OF apples are the most profitable.
This investigation will result in
great benefit to the fruit grower, as
such information will establish a
basis for future improvements.
Mr.. Crockwell will make imme-
date use of the information CLEAN
ed during this canvass as he has
arranged to ct out a 300 acre
orchard near town next spring.
With a man of Mr.. Crockwell's
type setting out 300 acres to apples
the result is already apparent, for
several orchardists are making in
quiries with view to follow his
example and avail themselves OF
the opportunity to secure frst-class
fruit land in what is destined to be
the choice apple producing district
of the United States.
Mr.. Heiderman, who has for
many years been Government ex-
pert, has voiced the opinion repeat.
eddy referred to in the Herald that
the Kootenai Valley is equalled by
few and excelled by none. That
as a fruit growing district it is Ger
tain to become world famed one
on account of the climatic condi'
ton and geographic advantages
as we'll as the adaptability of the
soil. Messrs. Heiderman and
Crockwell are enthusiastic as to The
outcome, and the fruit growers are
Ijubilant at the recognition receiv
cd at the hands of men conversan
with the entire fruit producing
districts of the West,

STEINER SAYS
NEGROES WILL
HOLD The JOB

Despite the protest made by en-
plOyees of the asylum farm against
the employment by the state at the
farm of James Linthycombe and wife,
colored, they will be permitted to re-
main so long as they perform efficient
service, is the statement made by DIR.
Steiner, superintendent of the state
hospital for the insane, today.
The two were employed several
weeks ago-the man as engineer and
his wife to preside over the dining
room Taking exception to having to
sit down at the same table with the
colored people and also to having
white woman care for their room,
about 16 employees demonstrated and
threatened to strike w. T. Gibbs and
Supervisor Dilley leaders in the
movement, were discharged because
Of their participation in it. That is
their story, Dr. Steiner says, how
ever, they were fired for other rea-
sons, The discharge of these two,
together with the statement that the
colored people would soon leave,
seemed to have the effect of queNing
the rebellion. but now that the col
ored people will remain, the race war
may break out anew.
Dr. Steiner takes the position that
he will not allow politics, religion,
nationality or race color to interfere
with the employment of help at the
institution, but that the employees will
be measured by efficiency alone and
as the colored people have made
good" they will remain.

Then there was a rush for the other
doors. I scrambled through with
the crowd. All of us were badly cut
by glass from the door. So far as
know only 20 girls got through be-
fore the jam prevented further escape
Meantime Tommy" the elevator
boy, had taken the car to the eighth
floor and filled it. AS it went by us
I could see that the car was jammed
too full for any others to enter. Tom
my made several trips until the heat
on the seventh floor made 1t impos-
sible for him to open the door of the
cage. AS soon as escape by the stair
ways and elevators was cut off, there
was a rush of girls to the windows
and the leaping to the outside walk
began"
At $3.50 this afternoon it was inn
possible to state defnittly the num-
ber of dead, but the police believe
that more than 40 perished. In addi-
tion a score of men and girls were
cut by broken glass and trampled in
the wild flight to escape.

Pressing wildly against the ranks

from the lower East Side are pour
ing into the park ana crowding
around Washington Arch, in desper-
ate effort to break through to where
the bodies are being dragged by
scorched firemen from the CHASTITY
spot where they are falling from the
inferno of flames above.
Foremost in the throng are scores
of women. shrieking and fighting un-
reasoningly to get to where their rel
atives are perishing in the flames.
Unable by ordinary means to check
the persistent rushes of the crowd,
the police have been forced to club
many of the foreigners back, and
time and again their ranks are brok-

waiting women.
Six Piles of Bodies.
There are six different piles of
bodies about the building One of
these piles contains 16 bodies. Each
of the piles of dead is covered with a
tarpaulin, and the police, who are
still fighting back the crowds, refuse
to allow the reporters to COUNT tht
bodies.
So great was the force with which
the girls leaping from the eighth
floor crashed to the sidewalk on
Mercer street that they plunged
clear through a heavy iron grating in
the sidewalk and all were frightfully
mangled.
That the list of dead in the fire
may run into scores is the statement
of Irene Ziebor, who was employed in
the burning factor. She said:
81 was engaged on the seventh
floor, in the cutting department
when flames burst out near one of
tht machines. All of us ran toward
the elevator, but when our CAR failed

WHAT MARK SMITH
 DID IN CONGRESS

In the Fiftieth Congress he defeated what is known at the Peralta Reavis Land Grant which covered all of the land for many miles on each side of the Gila and Salt Rivers from Gila Bend to point above the town of Florence. The title was pronounced good" by such eminent lawyers as Roscoe Con- king, Bob Ingersoll and John Broadhead of St. Louis, then president of the American Bar Association.
 Mark Smith secured an ap- propriatiOn of S15, 100000 from the Contingent Fund of the Treasury Department which was expended in sending a cOmmiS- sion of experts to Spain and Mexico to examine into the validity of this Peralta- Reavis land title. It eliminated in the defeat of the title before the Court of Private Land Claims and ReaviS was sent to the penitentiary, but before this time Reavis had obtained by selling his alleged title to the settlers, and claimants of town lots, and the Southern Pacific Railroad for right of way, hun dreds of thousands of dollars.
 While serving on the Commit tee of Indian Affairs, he, in com pany which MT. Stephens of Texas, drew and had passed through the House the bill for the payment of Indians Dcpra- dations Claims, under which many hundreds of thousands of dollars have been paid to west ern settlers, many of whom re side in Arizona.
 He passed the bill through Congress forcing the govern mont to pay the expenses of trial and the costs of impriSon- ment of all reservation Indians charged with crime in the Ter ritory of Arizona. Under this bill large sums of money were returned to the different coun- ties of the Territory.

TROUBLE BREWING.
NoQalas Water Company May Stop Sale of Municipal Bonds.

During the past few weeks the Town COnncil and representa- tives from the Nogales Water Company, have been copferrinG from time to time in an effort to arrive at some terms whereby the town would be enabled to take over the water company's plant on the Arizona side of the line.
 The water company offered to sell out for SSO. .CG0OO, which offer the council could not con- slider.
 An offer from the town of $40. .C0O.CO, half cash and balance within a year, was declined by the water company.
 At conference held last Wednesday, between the council and the water company people, the latter reduced their price to SGO, GOO. GO cash.
 The council was compelled to reject the offer as this sum could not be paid without abandoning the plan of going to the river for water. The council declined to assume the responsibility of diSregarding the implied orders of the citizens when they voted in favor of issuing the bonds, which was that the source of water supply for the town system should be at the river.
 The council made a final offer to the water company of. $50, O,CGO.OO cash, believing this amount the utmost that could be spared without endangering the installation of the municipal water system as outlined
 The water company refused this offer, and as the water con- pany declined to sell on any terms for less than S60,O00.O0 cash, no agreement was reached.
 The water company's attorney, $. M. Franklin of Tucson, an nounced that legal steps would immediately be taken to stop the issuance of the bonds.

 Mr. CamerOn'S unfinished OK planatiOn for naming a boy from New England to the naval aca- denny at Annapolis, instead of boy from Arizona, made many feel sorry for ArizOna's delegate to congress, who while address ing the audiance, became angry and forgot his subject. Cameron said that he had been lied about and some time would make an affidavit, the nature of which he neglected to state.
