St. Anthony Visited
by Disastrous Fire.
Loss Estimated to be Over $50,
600. Partly Covered by In
surance. Fire Company
Makes Brave Fight
Idaho Falls Post

St. Anthony, April 1.-Fire was
discovered in the Ross-Hamer block,
the principal business block of this
city, at II o'clock last night. The
fire had probably been smoldering
for several hours. The origin of the
blaze in unknown. An alarm was
Immediately turned in and the vol
unteer department responded quickly,
and in short order three streams of
water were playing on the interior of
the building.
The fire was exceedingly difficult
to fight because of the seat of it be-
ing in the rear basement, and access
to it was clogged Dy merchandise.
The Ross-Hamer block is two
story and basement building. with
three store fronts.
The heaviest loser in the fire is
the H. Flamm company, of st. An
thony and Rexburg. Their stock was
estimated to be worth about $4,000
and on the first of the year invoiced
$50, 900. Insurance to the amount
of about 100000 was carried, so the
loss will be fully covered. With the
exception of the furniture depart
ment, the stock is an almost total
loss.
The Ross-Hamer block was built
in 1892, at a cost of $4,000. The
interior of the building was badly
damaged by the fire, and it is esti-
mated that it will cost $4,000 to
repair the damage. The loss is cov-
cred by insurance.
The First National bank, which oc-
cupies the corner room, suffered a
small loss on fixtures, caused by wa
ter and by moving out. The Chase
Furniture company also escaped with
slight loss caused from moving out
the stock. Upstairs Millsaps &
Moon, attorneys, Soule & Soule, at
torneys, Henry Soule attorney, N. d
Jackson attorney, A. H. Mcconnell
attorney, and the Idaho Collection
agency, all suffered but slight losses
mostly caused by moving fixtures
and by smoke. DR.. Gillespie, den
tist, suffered loss of about $500

FARMERS MEET AT BASALT

On Saturday at 2 o'clock the farm
crs in the Basalt, Goshen and Presto
country will hold a meeting at the
Basalt hall for the purpose of organ
izing the Farmers Association of Ed
uity, for the purpose of marketing
produce.
This is a national association with
offices in the larger cities for the
purpose of marketing shipments sent
direct from the local organizations,
and it is the purpose of the people
at Basalt to connect themselves with
the national organization and pro-
ceed to ship their own crops. j. T.
Lyon has been acting president and
N. G. Thompson secretary.
The association does not sell goods
to the farmers nor in any way inter-
fere with the trade of the home mer-
chants. It is said that their superior
method Of hal ding produce places
the cash in the farmers hands SO
that he docs more satisfactory bus
mess with the home dealers. 1t Is
said to differ from the Grange in that
it has only the marketing feature
and it is claimed they operate or
more modern methods. AS to this
The Republican is not in position
to Judge, but large number of 10
