CAN'T ADD VETERANS NAMES.
Adjutant General Explains Lack of
Law Authorizing Action.

A. w. Talkington has received from
l.. V. Patch, adjutant general of Idaho
at Boise, a reply to Mr.. Talkington s
recent inquiry regarding the addition
of names of Indian war veterans to the
muster roll of those who fought in the
Nez Perez war of 1877 in which the
adjutant general explains that under
the present law no process for the de-
sired action can be had.
The letter from the adiutant general
is self-explanatory, as follows:
81 will say in regard to your letter
of recent date that l believe there is
no legal way by which names could be
added at this time to the muster rolls
of the Indian war companies in 1877.
A bill was introduced at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, but failed to
pass by reason that it was introduced
late in the session, that would allow the
granting of discharges to members of
military organizations when ample
proof was given that they belonged to
an organization and where their names
would not appear on the regular muster
roll'

the exposition commission, doesn I read
exactly like that. Instead it uses the
following language:
1.-The exposition commission desires
photographs of Idaho's most beautiful
young girls ranging from fifteen to
twenty years of age. A simple costume
is preferred. A group of Idaho Rose
buds, sweet, winsome faces, typifying
the state just budding into its most
charming and useful career. These pho
tographs will be mounted, framed and
hung in the Idaho building at the expo
sition. Photographers in different
parts of the state have shown keen in
terest in the subject and will see that
their respective districts are represent
ed. Major Reed, the executive com
msissioner, announces that the photo
graphs should reach his office in Boise
not later than September 18th of this
year.
The commission also desires to use
an Idaho descriptive poem in its litera-
ture. 1t must be well written, graphic
and sensible and relate to Idaho and the
exposition. Let us have your very best
effort and the Free Press will publish
it, if it appears to be worthy, and mail
marked copy to Major Reed, the exc
cutive commissioner, at Boise. The
right kind of poem will bring great
deal of desirable publicity to the state
if it is properly managed.

details of the type of construction
adopted. When this man is competent
to carry out the work without further
instructions from our engineer. this
office will consider its obligation
under the application as satisfied. You
will understand, therefore, that we do
not promise to superintend the construc.
tion of any given length of roadway.
1t is also understood that there be no
avoidable delay in beginning or prose
cutting this work after the arrival of
the engineer.
1t is probable that our engineer will
be instructed to give a lecture or lee

the best result to be secured from this
work. You will kindly advise me furth-
en- as to your wishes in this matter.
Every Truly Yours,
"Paul D. Sargent, Acting Director -
Highway commissioners, - says the
committee in a signed statement; "who
are interested in the construction of
good roads will understand from the
above that they must furnish all teams,
labor, material and equipment if they
wish practical demonstration of road
building in their several districts. We
trust there will be general attendance
from all parts of the county, and that
the highway commissioners will early
make arrangements to call on Mr.. Bur
rell and make date for taking him to
their district and, if necessary, arrange
for road making demonstration. This
matter is of county wide Importance and
we have no wish or desire to confine il
exclusively to Grangeville and vicini.

AT Sites.

S. B. Toye, a well known citizen
OF Sites, was found dead at an
early hour this morning by Clar-
ence Petit and Joe Burkenbine.
The body was found in th he ware
house where Mr.. Toye was en-
ployed as manager. His right
hand clenched revolver and a
gunshot wound in his right temple
warrants the belief that the case
is one of suicide.
According to telephone report
received from Sites this after
noon Mrs. Toye and other men,
bers of the family were in the
mountains on a camping trip.
Erwin Toye, son, remained in
town, however, with his father.
1t is said that Mr.. Toye was not
seen about town either by his son
or the citizens since yesterday
forenoon but owing to the pre-
valence of business deal in
which he was interested for his
company which might hay Q called

body railroad men say they heard

Local Talent Production to be Given on
Evening of August l.

to be given real treat in the produc-
tion Of "The LIAR to be presented un-
der. the auspices of the Draper club on
the evening of August ! at the l. o. o.
f. hall. The play is ludicrous farce
comedy of the better sort; clean,
highly amusing story founded upon a
laughable plot. Yes, there's really a
plot and the manner in which it un-

east of clever home talent players, is
the original joy cart that takes you for
a round trip to the mythical land of
merriment and mirth.
Walter Bunnell, who directs the piece
and guarantees giggle for every cent

BUILDINGS
BURN IN EARLY
Morning T IRE
SHEAFFER, MILLS AND HOWE
STRUCTURES ON MAIN STREET
IN PATH OF FLAMES
ABSENCE OF WIND HELPS
Total Loss Placed at Approximately
$8O00-Stocks and Buildings Well
Covered by Insurance

Fire which was first disc overed about
40 O'Clock Wednesday morning des.
troycd the Mills and Sheatfer buildings
on Main street and wrecked the Pang,
born and Howe structure. The total
loss sustained is estimated at from $4,000
to $4,000.
The fire originated in the Mills build.
ing, frame structure which adjoined
the brick Masonic hall on the east.
The flames had gained considerable
headway and had burned through the
roof when the alarm was turned in.
Kenneth Stilz and two Or three com.
paniOns who were seated at table in
the Ark cafe saw the glare of the
I flames reflected in a window across the
street and ran directly to the Mills
building Simultaneously James Wood
and William Anson who were standing
on the sidewalk near the Wood residence
on the west hill saw the flames burst
| ing out of the roof. They Immediately
ran downtown, sounding the alarm by
| vociferous shouting as they came. w.
o. Smith, of the night police, was also
early on the scene.
Much Goods Removed.
The Sheaffer building occupied by
the Jarvis poolroom and Homer Phillips
barber shop, was broken into and much
of the tonsorial equipment and part
of the Jarvis tobacco stock removed.
The tables and other movable furniture
and fixtures in the Ark Cafe were also
removed across the street to safety as
was also most of the stock of Ed Davis,
harnessman, which occupied the CARRIER
building just west of the Crosby store.
Owing to the total absence of wind
and the excellent pressure of the water
system the firemen and many volunteer
citizens were able by hard work to con-
fine the blaze to the Mills, Sheaffer
and restaurant buildings though the
CARRIER building was scorched III few
places.
Fixing the Losses.
The exact amount of the total loss
is difficult to determine owing to the
prevailing difference OF opinion as to
the value of the bu Ildings burned.
The Mills building was insured for $500
l and the Sheaffer structure for approxi-
g mately $1400. The amount of insur-
ance on the Pangborn building, which
is so badly wrecked that it will neces-
sarily have to be torn down, is given as
$1,000. Ed Davis says he lost about
:. 5000 on account of the fire. Homer
e Philips places his loss at $75, with nc
:. insurance. George Newton, who con
, Quoted the Ark cafe, figures his loss
l. above insurance, at between 5000 ant
d $400. The value of the Jarvis stocl
IS which included besides the pool anG
. billiard tables and fixtures, stock Of
clothing and gents furnishings stored
q in the rear, has been placed at $4,000
e This was all destroyed. Mr.. Jarvis say
u that the amount of insurance of thes,
goods was about $2500. A damage By
smoke and water to the extent of ap
IS proximately 5000 was reported from
3 the Brust meat market in the Masoni,
e building. The Pacific Telephone {
d Telegraph company sustained about $5t
l. loss in the fire.

BUILD ROAD IN BOISE basin
Proposed Sale of Timber Land to Bar
ber Company May Mean Much
R. r. Construction.

Again a new ownership OF the Gil
more & Pittsburg railroad, which specu-
lation has dubbed "The Road of Mys
terry is announced through an article
appearing in the Railway Age Gazette.
1t is now part of the Great North
cording to this dispatch, and will be
used as link in their proposed exten-
sion through Idaho and Nevada, there
to connect with the Western Pacific and
go to San Francisco.
Articles of incorporation have been
filed at Boise for company known as
the Butte, Boise nd Winnemucca rail
road, capitalized at 100000, and at
the present time surveyors and engin-
GERS are in the field.
Great R. r. Activity.
The Great Northern will probably
build their cutoff that has been. pro-
jected for some time, from Lewiston to
Helena, via White Sulphur Springs, for
contrary to all that has been said con-
cerning the suspension of building oper-
ations, all of the work that the Great
| Northern has started in North Dakota
and Montana will be pushed to compile
tion.
A good share of the profitable busi-
ness that the Great Northern has en-
ioyed in and around Butte, has been
its ore handling. There is no reason to
suppose that it will be satisfied with
this immense falling off OF business,
without sufficiently extra business be-
| ing created. The extension south to
San Francisco will more than make up
for their other losses and open up
country that will welcome the coming
| of a transcontinental line.
Timber Deal Significant.
Another development of the past few
weeks which adds interest to the rail-
road building situation in Idaho it at
tached to the proposed timber land sale
by the state land board. The Barber
Lumber company, besides offering tt
purchase this land in the Boise basin
agrees to build standard guage rall
road from Boise to Placerville at cost
of 81 900, 900, within = year.
According to dispatches the state

The part of General Boomer, South
ern gentleman, sah!, has been placed in
the capable hands of G. A. Parsons who
is admirably suited for the role This
is not Mr.. Parsons first appearance in

services mean great boost for the

surpass all previous efforts. Charles

drew a juvenic lead that is important
in the plot and which will be presented
in faultless fashion. A comedy part
has been given to Harold Harris, who
with Mr.. Higgs, will also appear il

to be out of the ordinary.
