State Press Comment.
"After Us the Deluge."

When Louis XIV Of France lay
d ,wn TO die the near thunders OF the
approaching storm could already he
heard "After us the deluge" laugh
ed the lndolent, profligate ruler, fore-
seeing the inevitable issue Of his orgy
OF crime and folly. The deluge came.
The brilliant Mau-epas, the astute
Turgot, even Necker and Colonne
could not stem the tide that sub
merged the States-seneral and
sounded the death knell of Bourbon
ism. Then Marat opened the veins Of
France. and Charlotte Corday sought
to stauch the flow Her poniard in
his i lie made shambles Of her
country. The gullotine was her
atonement and after her stalked the
sinister DantUn and Robesplerre,
whose deeds are the ghastliest dream
10 the worlds memory.
Disregard for possible conseq uences
has often been expressed by the words
OF the profigate King. Senator
Borah will be candidate for re-
election before the Twelfth session Of
the Idaho legislature. He will be
standing as he now stands, lighting
for the passage Of an income tax law
and for the direct election of United
States senators. There will be no
man Of greater mental stature In that
august assembly. Should the next
state legislature be democratic and
replace him in the councils of the
nation with Hawley or Nugent
thu responsibility will rest with the
republican members Of the Eleventh
legislature who have broken faith
with these who clothed them with
power Idaho Post.

DOUBLE TENEMENT
HOUSE DAMAGED
$500 BY FIRE
Department Was Prompt and
Loss Was Small
BLAZE HAD GOOD START
Property Owned by Mrs. Ella Murphy
on Maple Street in Danger of
Complete Destruction

Fire of an unknown origin damaged
the two tenement dwelling house of
Mrs. Ella Murphy on Maple street at
$3.50 o'clock this morning The dam
age is estimated at $500 and is cover
ed y insurance. Some household
goods belonging to ]. NJ. Murphy who
occupies the lower tenement, also
suffered considerable damage. More
serious results were prevented by the
prompt removal of five-gallon can
of oil which was in a dangerous loca-
ton.
The fire was discovered by neigh
Dor, who informed Mrs. Murphy. who
was sitting on the front veranda. that
the rear of the house was in flames.
Mrs. Murphy, who is an elderly wom-
an, rushed up stairs and opened the
kitchen door. A burst of flame and
smoke nearly oyercame her, but she
managed to run down stairs and
/ cause an alarm to be turned in from
box Sc by +. A. Howard A second
alarm was rung in by F. II. Fergus

Upon the arrival OF the Putnam
Hose company, the first on the scene,
! the rear OF the house and an adjoin-
ing building, used as a summer kit
chen, were mass of flames. The
/ tremen soon had stream PLAYING
on the house from the southwest cor
ner The water. instead OF quench-
ing the flames served only to spread
them
The Stark Hose company was the
next to arrive and took up a position
on the other side on the house. It
was soon evident that the summer
kitchen. which is a single story struc.
ture, could not be saved and the fire.
men confined their attention to the
house. A single stream, however.
was kept playing on to this single
story building which was smoking
badly
BY thoroughly wetting the roof Of
the house, the flames we're prevented
from spreading Firemen climbed TO
the roof, and by chopping il I'm we're
enabled TO get at any flames which
might be under the roof and shingles
II was while working on the roof and
about the attic that the can OF oil was
discovered The can was first not
iced by John A. Dunn. who called sew
eral assistants and carried the oil out
OF the house. Had the flames reach
ed this can the damage would UNI
doubtedly have been much greater.
The fire was under control within
fifteen minutes after the arrival OF
the firemen, but they did not quit the
scene until the fire was finally ex-
tinguished at 10 o'clock
The summer kitchen was totally
destroyed as were the roof and cell
ing OF the kitchen. while the walls
were considerably damaged Other
rooms on both floors were more or
less scorched or smoked up The
stove and other furniture in the kit
chen of Mrs. Ella Murphy were des-
troyed but most OF the furniture in
the lower tenement escaped much
harm.

CONTROLLER BAY
MESSAGE FROM
PRESIDENT
Taft Takes Responsibility for
Opening ChugaCh Reserve
TO HELP ON DEVELOP MENT
Believes That Railroad Franchises
Should Be Granted to Encourage
Alaskan investment

Washington, July 26,-President
Taft sent a special message to the
Senate yesterday shouldering full re-
spensibility for opening for settle
ment and development 1880 acres of
the Chugach national forest reserve
in Alaska-an incident which has
come to be known as the Controller
Bay affair" In concluding he brands
the now famous Dick to Dick post
cript as wicked fabrication and
says that Charles p. Taft, whose
name appeared in the alleged post
script, has no interest in Alaska,
never had, and knows nothing OF the
circumstances connected with this
transaction" Moreover, the presi-
dent adds, his brother does not even
remember that he ever met Richard
S. Ryan, representing the Controller
railway and navigation company
AS for eliminating the land in
question from the reserve, the presi
dent says that there is no danger Of
the AOHlIOlltl runway anu Ho ~ AEA
ton company or any other interests
monopolizing the field. and nothing
to show that this company is in any
way connected with the Morgan-Gug-
genheim interests Hence, he be
lieves that in eliminating the land
he has acted for the best interests OF
the nation.
81 wish to be as specific as posi-
BILE upon this point says the presi-
dent in his message 'and to say that
| alone am responsible for the en-
largement OF the proposed elimiua-
ton from 800 acres TO 1880 acres.
and that | proposed the change and
stated my reasons therefor. The
thing which the territory OF Alaska
needs is development. and where
rights and franchises can be properly
granted to encourage investment and
construct a railroad without confer
ring exclusive privileges, ! believe
il to be in accordance with good
policy to grant them.
