RAILROAD WRECK
WAS CRITICISED

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 7.--Severe
criticism of the New York. New Haven
& Hartford railroad is contained in
the report made today by the inter-
state commerce commission by COM
missioner McChord upon the accident
of Oct 3, at West Point, Conn, in
which many persons were killed and
injured ... .-&
The commissioners report says the
accident was due to the excessive
speed of the train as it passed across
over from one track to another. Mr..
McChord strongly urged the adoption
by all railroads of an automatic train
stopping device to be used at all such
points of danger as cross overs in the
effort to reduce these narrowing rail-
road disasters to the limits of the un-
ayoidable." ~

FIRE DESTROYS THREE
LELAND BUSINESSES

JULIAETTA, Ida. Mar. 3. Especial
to the -Mirror) Fire starting
about 1920 D. m. last night destroyed
the Leland Mercantile company's store,
the Vadney drug store and the meat
market of Caster & McFarren at Le-
land, seven miles east of here.
The fire was first discovered in the
|. o. O. F. building, the lower floor
of which was occupied by the mercan-
tile company, owned and conducted by
F. M. Talbot G Sons, and the upper
floor being used as lodge rooms.
Talbot & Sons stock of between $18,
600 and $4,000 of merchandise, was
totally destroyed and their loss will
be heavy as their insurance was only
about $4,000.
The drug store of Dr. e. Vadney with
about $500 worth of goods, was also
totally destroyed. His insurance was
about $780,

say they are not getting out of their

forced to pay, and that without raising
the price to the consumer they can, by
going into the milling and warehouse
business, increase the profits of the

as they saved the tools and part of the
meat Their loss will not be heavy
as the building was owned by John
NJ Oyler
The Odd Fellows loss, including the
one-story building occupied by the
drug store is about $4,000 with insur-
ance of $4,000.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but it may have been caused by de-
fective fue from the lodge rooms as
the last known fire in the building
was in the Odd Fellows hall.
1t is understood that the buildings
will be rebuilt and the businesses will
be carried on by the parties who for
merly conducted them.
Another fire occurred at Leland last
July when the DeWinter & Goudsward
store burned AS Leland has no wa

shown the city of Moscow, and the
court promised the attorney an early
decision.
The case was submitted upon stip-
ulation, and will determine whether
the city can pave, whether it can pave
without bond election to pay for the
street intersections and sewage in
stallation, and whether the abutting
property shall be bonded to pave, or
whether the whole town must be bond
ed for the Improvement.
1t is expected that the law will be
determined by the supreme court in
