Columbia, January 5: Fire which
cleaned out O block in West Gervais
street, the wholesale district OF CO.
lumbia, today, inflicted damage va
riously estimated at between $685. 900
and $250,000. 1t yas the most disas-
trous blaze in this city since the town
was laid in ashes during the last year
of the war between the sections. Start
ing in the repair department OF the
Gibbes Machinery company, probably
from an overheated boiler, the flames
were driven by an easterly breeze to
adjacent structures, wiping out en-
tirely the premises Of the Gibbes Ma
chinery company, the Columbia Ma
chine & Iron works, the Southern
States Supply company and Armour
& Co.: destroying the warehouse or
the Moffatt B. Dupre company, to-
gether with three frame residences and
several stables, and damaging more
or less seriously the wholesale es-
tablishment of A. E. Beall company,
II. G.. Werts & Co., ]. D. Milot and L.
B. Roach & Co. The drug stock or
F. S. Earle was taken out In time, but
suffered considerable damage from re-
moval and water. Automobiles to the
number Of eighteen or twenty were
burned in the motor department Of the
Gibbes establishment, several other
cars being saved. All the concerns
affected are planning to continue In
business, and several will rebuild as
soon as possible. The fire will result
in the erection Of several creditable
fireproof structures in the wholesale
district.

That this Is day Of clean plays Is
amply demonstrated by the success OF
the new comedy, Introduce Me-" that
is to be presented at the Opera House
tomorrow night. 1t has been said Of
this play that it is as sweet as clover
field in full bloom. There is not a
jarring note to it. there is said to be
genuine wealth of laughter to the sto-
ry and the ingredients of heart inter-
est and romance have been happily
blended. The piece was written by
Della Clarke, the well-known author

leading character and will be sur
rounded by a picked company of act
ors, all Of whom are we'll known to

OPENS, CAMPAIGN FOR SAFETY
OF HOTEL GUESTS
statesman


Hotels and rooming houses that
have not complied with the new law
on the statute books in this state
with reference to proper fire protec-
ton, are going to be closed as fast
as James H. Wallis, state inspector,
can get to them. Mr.. Wallis propos-
es to protect the patrons of these es,
Establishments, no matter If they are
in the nose remote part of Idaho.
When he received word late last night
from north Idaho of the trapping and
death of man named Kennedy in a
rooming house at lola, which was
burned to the ground, he decided on
instant action in his crusade against
hostelries not properly equipped to
protect their patrons. Mr.. Wallis is
sending out bulletins to all hotel and
rooming house keepers to provide
fire equipments with proper fire
equipment as the new law requires,
or run the risk of being prosecuted
and having their places closed up.
The lola fire resulted In the unfor-
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1912-06-14

tunate man, Kennedy, being caught
in the hotel like a rat in a trap.
There was no possible way for escape.
After the building was burned to the
ground his charred remains were TAX
en- from the debris.
Heavy Penalty Attached
III TN some cases, said Commission
erWallis, this will wark hardship
on nlanysof the lessees Of hotels, be-
cause they cannot get the owners Of
the buildings to make the permanent
improvements required by law and
which the law makes the owner re-
sponsible for. The closing up of such
places will mean great loss to these
lessees, as in many cases they are too
poor to provide this equipment and
have to lose their little business as
the result but we are in a position
where we cannot take any chances
with the law and so far as we are
concerned there will be no loss of
life in any hotel because of lack of
proper fire protection. The new law
fixes a penalty of $500 fine and not
to exceed one years Imprisonment
for any hotel inspector "who shall
certify falsely regarding any
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1912-06-14

building inspected by him and he
shall issue certificate to no person
operating any hotel who has not full
ly complied with the law" While
we have endeavored to be as lenient
as possible since the new law went
into effect, over year ago, We have
now come to the parting of the ways,
and people who expect to operate ho-
tells and rooming houses in Idaho
must strictly comply with the law, or
they will not receive license to OPP
crate such business"
Bulletin Issued
Following is the bulletin which has
been issued by State Commissioner
Wallis. H{
To the Keepers of Hotels and Room
ing Houses
Because of the fact that no less
than seven hotels have been destroyed
by fire since the new hotel law went
into effect, attended in one case with
loss of life, l have decided to COM
mence the strict enforcement of the
provisions of this law and have CIV
en- instructions to deputies now in the
field to compel the keepers of all ho-
tells and rooming houses to equip
their establishments with proper fire
protection as specified in the law, or
close up such places. This includes
fire escapes, fire extinguishers, fire
gongs, fire escape signs and stand
pipes. It is an offense to conduct
a rooming7 house or hotel without
license, and all licenses will be re-
voked where hotels or rooming
houses are found deficient in fire pro-
lection. The hotel law has been in
effect year last May, and that
should be plenty of time for owners
or lessees of such places to adjust
themselves to the new conditions.
Inasmuch as the hot season is ap-
preaching, attention is directed to
the fact that the new law also re-
quires the screening of all bed rooms
and dining rooms, and the absence
of such screens will be sufficient |
cause for prosecuting the owner or
lessee of any place where such
screens are not found. The same
with reference to metal ash contain
ers, with which to take care of the
ashes of hotels and rooming houses.
There have been a few prosecu-
ions of hotel keepers who insist on
having tn ecommon roller towel, and
hese prosecutions will continue
whenever such violations of the law
ire found.

.. State Hotel Inspector.

OREGON SHORT LINES NEW
POLICY
ogden Standard)

The "get acquainted" excursions of
the officials of the Oregon Short Line
are now a recognized annual event.
The heads of departments, including
the assistant general manager of the
road, close their desks at headquar-
ters and get out among their pa
irons. Whoever originated these an
nual trips made big step forward in
bringing the railroad and business
men together in better understanding
of each other.
We are told that William Sproule,
president of the Southern Pacific, has
started something similar on the
Southern Pacific. The head of that
road has set the example of getting
close to the business communities by
going out himself and meeting with
the shippers, and he has issued an or
der to all division superintendent to
erase the word "private" fro mtheir
cars in order that the public may
come to know that the cars of super
intendents are open to the mand their j
grievances. From Sproule down to
the most obscure workman on the
Southern Pacific the watchword is:
Get acquainted with our custom
ers and prospective customers and |
give them to know that the Southern
Pacific is no longer playing politics,
or Fleeing the public in any manner,
but is great business concern labor
ing to extend to patrons fair treat
ment and exacting in return only
reasonable profit on its Investments"
Last year when the Oregon Short
Line officials made their first swing
around the, circle, there was little
clash and some of the Ogden business /
men aired their grievances without Il
any, attempt to conceal their disap-,E
pointment over the treatment Ogden
vas receiving. Since then a better !!
ceiling has been engendered, SO that A.
asst evening, after the visitors discov-
red they were in the house of their.
friends where there was no danger of
'eing impaled on pitchforks and
,rilled for the amusement of those f
present, they broke into song and P

RAISED THE POSTAL RATE

The postal department has CLASH
fled butterwrapers as merchandise
now instead of as printed matter as
heretofore, and this doubles the cost
on carrying them. The postage re-
CURED now on package of 100 is
about IL to Is cents according to the
way they are packed. A half thous-
and which has been mailable for 20
cents will now cost 40 cents and
1000 will go for about 70 cents in
stead of IS.
The many changes of classification
and raises of rates affecting the local
printing houses, makes the printing
fraternity feel that the postal de-
felt ought to be growing downward.
This office prints lot Of butter
wrappers, but we are going to see
that your Uncle Samuel does not col
slect pay for carrying any more of
them than are ordered out in hur-
~. We will put in" with the farm
er and see that he has achance to
take most of them home in his bug
gy or wagon. Sixteen eents pound,
or 1920 ton is very satisfactory
pay for baulinp goods from town to
the farm. But the department needs
some good postal traffic to make up
what is done free for such fellows as
Senator Lorimer who ID said to have
Thanked" twenty carloads Of litera-
ture to Chicago 70 be mailed out
from there BY his secretaries to his
