FIRE STARTS: BUT is
SOON DROWNED OUT


When discovered, at about eight
thirty Thursday evening, fire had gain
ed firm. hold on the Graber building.
which is occupied by A. b. Dresden,
tailor, and J, II, Stephenson, furniture;
but the prompt arrival of the firemen
with good stresm of water soon put
1t out. The fire originated in cup.
board in closet in the tailor shop and
had burned the doors of the cupboard
and through the ceiling of the second
story. \ little longer without dis.
covery and the whole of the great
building would have been on fire. AS
It turned out no great damage was
done. The stock of furniture on the
first floor was flooded with water, but
not injured to any great extent.
The building has long stood ON the
most prominent corner of the town a
monument to the early expectations of
the founders of Mineral Point. 1t was
built by John Milton, an enterprisiug
merchant of pioneer days, who after
ward removed with his family to La
Crosse. 1t extends the full length OF
the lot from High street along Chestnut
street to the alley in the rear and is Of
good solid masonry. three full stories
high.
1t was occupied for time by Mr..
Milton as on iron store, and afterwards
as general store, u hardware store and
for many years as furniture store.
More than forty years ago Judge NJ
M. Cothren and Cyrus Lanyon had
their law offices in the rooms now oc
cupied by the tailor shop.

of this paper learned to print ON the

LOCAL CITIZENS AT
SPOKANE SHOW

H. f. Davidson, Truman Butler, W.
II. Lawrence, +. II. Shepard and Mr.
and Mrs. A. /. Mason were at Spokane
last week to attend the National Apple
Show MIR. Davidson delivered an ad-
dress on the marketing and storage of
fruit. Mr.. Butler spoke on the financ
ing of fruit marketing. An address by
Mr.. Shepard told in general way the
need of cooperation between the grow
ers of the respective districts and the
districts themselves. Mr.. Davidson S
address was said TO have been of es-
pecial interest. He pointed out the in
advisability of planting more apple
trees on land untried and not known to
be adapted to the culture of apples.
The sentiment of growers and market
ers is to do away with the scheme of
apple land promoters.
The show was held at the fair
grounds, several miles out from the
city and because of this the crowd was
not as large as has attended on former
years.
The people of Spokane were very
hospitable and tenderedsa luncheon to
exhibitors at the Davenport cafe, and
railroad men, growers. bankers and all
allied with the fruit industry were
banqueted by the trustees of the show.
Robert Strahorn, president of the show,
presided at the banquet rs he did at
the conferences at the horticultural
hall at the fair grounds. AL people
who are connected with with he apple
industry, such as railroads and the bus
mess men of fruit localities are eager
to promotesthe welfare of apple indus
try.
A large number of carload displays
were exhibited from many of the north
western fruit sections. There were
scores of smaller plate ana box displays
and a number'of unique feature show
ings made. zone of the most cleverly
gotten up display that J saw" says
Mr.. Shepard, "was that of apples SO
arranged as to represent fountain.

GROWERS ACETATE
NORTHWEST UNION

The first definite step toward effect
ing aspermanent organization of fruit
growers in Oregon. Idaho, Montana
and Washington with a view to mar
keting fruit through common-channel
was taken at Spokane last Thursday
night with the adoption of resolution
by representative fruit growers, bank
ers, railroad traffic men and others at
banquet rendered by the manage
ment of the apple show there.
The resolution calls for a convention
of delegates, one from each fruit dis
trict in theIstates named to be held in
Spokane December is.
The resolution. which was adopted
unanimously, was introduced BY N. c.
Richards, representing the Yakima
Friut Growers Association and was
the result of private conference of
fruit growers in the afternoon.

The proposed resolution in con-
gress this week to increase the
presidential term to six years and
to make the president and vice
president ineligible to serve for a
second term, should meet with the
approval Of every citizen who has
the welfare of his country at heart.
With this resolution enacted a
part Of the constitution we would
avoid such disgraceful scenes and
performances as we have wit
messed during the past two
months. With such a change in
the constitution every president
would work with all his soul and
energy for the good. of all the
people, knowing that he must
make good in the one term if he
would write his name high in the
history of the country as a bene-
factor to his race.

BOrah's Boost For Idaho.

United States Senator Borah
claims that his state of Idaho is so
good that even the people who
get cheated within its smiling do
main make money by the trans
action. On his way from Wash
ington after the adjournment of
the last session of congress, says
the Popular Magazine, he was in
troduced on the train to an east
ern woman who Immediately be-
gan to tell long, sad story about
the robberlike practices of western
people in general, and Idaho men
in particular, -,
my husband was a travelling
man." she explained in a lachry-
mouse voice, land one night in
Boise City some of your people
gave him too much to drink, so
much in fact, that he didn't know
what he was doing. The next
morning he walked up and dis
covered that he had bought 81 400
worth of mining stock at four
cents a share. Think of that, the
greatest outrage | ever heard Of!
l have never even looked up the
mine in which the stock was sold,
but the experience has taught me
that western promoters are merely
burglars. My poor, dear husband
was robbed as surely as if those
men had held him up at the point
of a gun"
Mr.. Borah asked the name of
the mine, and she told him. With
out saying word, he picked up a
newspaper and pointed to the
stock quotations. Right there
that Niobelike woman got the
shock of her life. The stock was
shown to be worth $4,000 that
day.

Mr.. Clifford Announces Candidacy

1t has almost invariably been
the custom in Idaho to grant a
second term of office to all state
officials who have faithfully and
efficiently performed the duties
of their offices. | trust it will not
be regarded as out of place or an
exhibition of egotism if l express
the hope and belief that | have
conducted the affairs of the office
of secretary Of state in a manner
to warrant me in coming before
the people a second time. Acting
upon this hope and belief, my
name will be presented to the
republican voters of the state at
the coming nominating primaries
for denomination for the office
now hold.
Briefly let me say, that | have
given my individual attention to
the affairs of the office as all who
are familiar with the facts will
testify. Having had many years
Of similar work before taking
Tcharge Of this office, | have been
able to make the experience so
gained of much value in simplify
ing and systematizing the work OF
the office. A new sytem of filing
and indexing has been introduced,
which has resulted in the saving
of much time as well as securing
accuracy and precision. One re-
suit of the new index system has
been the discovery of delinquent
corporation taxes. During the
past two years considerable sum
of these delinquent corporation
taxes has been collected and
turned into the state treasury as
a result of the new system, and
the method now employed will
insure the prompt collection OF
these taxes in the future.
In short, | believe l can truth
fully say that every branch of the
department of state government
in my charge is conducted along
modern business lines. If the
people of Idaho believe this is
true and see fit to renominate and
reflect me, ! need hardly say that
| shall be much gratified and
shall use my best endeavors to
