BeingRemoved.

This week the removal of the
old blacksmith shop building on
the J. N. Price property was
torn down to give room for the
new Studabaker building that
will be erected on the same
ground in the very near future.
The old frame building Just
taken away was at one time
used as a blacksmith shop when
our towns man John N. Price
did blacksmithing work and also
ran a small store, the present
mercantile business being an out
growth OF the beginning made
over 20 years ago. Mr.. Price
was also Post Master and the p.
0. Office was located in a room
which was a part of the building
in which he kept his store.
Each generation shelters it's
own head more or less but the
removal and tearing down OF
these old uns1ghty buildings re.
minds us of the fact that the
town is growing and that what
was considered a commodious
building at one time has entirely
served its usefulness.
The replacing of these OLD
shacks by modern fre-proo
structures are warmly welcomed
and the doing away with a mum
Der more in the CITY would be
valuable changes toward safety
from loss by fire in the future.

into his subject taking up the
wonderful resources of the west

openings for development and

spend more money in retaining
the arid west and making homes
for her citizens and less money for
pomp and show, or things where
in there is little value beyond the
appearance of that for which the
money is spent.
He complimented the people on

TIME

The Constitution crew on the
electric line from Miner to this
place is proceeding with the line
very rapidly. The poles are up
from Miner to Marion with the
cross arms already attached
ready tor the stringing of the
wire,
Within a few days more it
will have reached town. A load
of wire also arrived for the local
distribution Wednesday and that
too will be under way as soon as
the long distance line arrives.
When the poles are in the line
men will be started at once to
string the wire. The poles are
already set from here to the dam
and the power will be sent up
there Immediately in order for
operation to begin not later than
the first of April if weather con.
dition permit.
While the company has not
stated just when they will cleo

to meet the leaders of the party
and confer with them. Said that
as yet he had not definitely de-

Theodore Roosevelt was critis.

At the close of his talk he went
on to Twin Falls arriving there
shortly after three o'clock. He
also addressed a large audience
there and then proceeded across

Main Street
to be Improved.
WILL COMPLETE GRADING
BEGUN LAST YEAR.

tthe last meeting of the Com
mercal Club held a few days ago
the road question was brought
up and a committee was appoint
ed to get the people of this city
out in tull force and complete the
grading of main street from the
center of town to the depots
This splendid work was started
last year and hundreds of loads
OF gravel were put down the
center of the street but the Job
was toolarge to finish soft is the
intentions of the club to get
teams and men out again and
fill in the sides of the street up to
the sidewalk paving, thereby
putting the street in first class
condition. The work done last
year was splendid piece of work
and to continue 1t would be one
of the best things the towns
people could engage in at the
present time.
The gravel that is SO plentiful
south and east of town is of such
4 nature as to be the very best
for this purpose as it hardens
and makes the most desirable
kind OF road bed. 1t neither be-
comes dusty nor muddy. 1t has
cementing qualities in it which
makes a splendid filing for a
street.
When the committee decides
on the time to begin this work
and makes request OF the people
the public pride and loyal spirit
OF every resident of the towr
should be volunteered to success
fully accomplish this needed i'm

Uncle Sans Rangers
Haze Adventurous Life

The Bureau of Forestry in this city is
| the center Of a system which reaches into
wild canyons OF the Rockies. swamps OF
Florida. and the great forests OF the
Northwest. The United States is divided
into districts. each district comprising
several States and having a district head

These district offices. in turn, control
the headquarters OF the various forest re-
serves where the actual work OF defend
ing Uncle Sans wood lots is done. There
live the hardy men who ride the painless
range in all sorts of weather. guarding
the forest reserves against fire and timber

to the often unruly inhabitants.
How Work Is Done.
When new reserve has been created
by act Of congress. the first step is to
make = -: 'onnaissance" of it. This is
done by q rirty Of trained fOresters, who
go into t." wild country with a camping
outfit. They make map Of the new for
est. a careful estimate OF the amount
of standing timber, and a study of the
young growth. the grazing facilities, and
all other details Of interest to the gov
eminent.
The men who do this work are the
technical graduates Of the forestry
schools in our great universities, Har-
ward. Yale. Pennsylvania. and many
other State institutions. They are hardy
and courageous young fellows every

Natives Are Hostile.
Such is the work OF the pioneer on a
forest reserve. They are followed by
the forest supervisor and his force of
rangers. who build log house for head
quarters, and raise the Stars and Stripes
in the wilderness Both the supervisor
and his men are often ex-cowboys in
stead OF technical men, and are chosen
for their tact and courage in coping
with the people who have claims on the
reserves
Strangely enough. the natives are near
~ always hostile to the government
which benefits them greatly. Those in
Arkansas. for example. where the gov
eminent has two forests. have long had
4 custom OF burning the woods every
summer TO get rid Of the ticks. The
tick is small. red insect, which
faStens itself on the anatomy OF the
Arksansas 'hillbilly'' and that Of his
raZOr-back hog, with relentless tenacity
and in great numbers. Nc amount OF
conservation would compensate the badly
stung native for the loss of his time
hOnor"d revenge on the tick. Hence the
hillbilies burn the woods and the serv-
ice men put out the fires, and there is
no love between them.
Cowboys Fought Government.
On the Lincoln National Forest. in
New Mexico. there was recently an un-
ruly community OF ranchers. who refused
to obey the government regulations
about grazing cattle on the reserve. They
put their stock on the forbidden range
and rode about heavily armed. bidding
defiance to the minions OF Uncle Sam.
The district headquarters at Albu-
querque sent for Supervisor c. E. Isa!I.
who has wide reputation in the service
for absolute fearlessness. He began by
firing" all Of the rangers who were
afraid, and then rode forth with
picked band and removed the cattle
with Winchesters,' to use his own words.
The cattle were killed and dragged off
the reserve. The ranchcrs perceived that
their bluff had been called. and they
have been oheying the law ever since.
Is Dangerous Job.
Guarding against fires and enforcing the
grazing regulations are the chief duties
of the supervisor and his force. and both
If these duties are attended by not a
little danger. When a great fire breaks
out on the forest all the men in the
vicinity are summoned. and a determined
fight is made against the destroyer.
The sky is hlaCkcncd by smoke by
day. and a night the mountain Of leap
ing flames is a thing al once terrible and
beautiful. Thousands of dollars worth
of timber that has required hundreds of
years to grow is often destroyed in a
few hours.
