MAN BURNED
TO DEATH in ALBION
HOTEL FIRE
70
Loses Life in Fire Which Destroyed
the Hotel in Which he Was Stop
ping.-Lived Here For Several
Years and Was Well Known.

Archie Howell, a former Black
foot man who lost one leg many years
ago, lost his life in the hotel fire at
Albion last Saturday when a portion
of the city was burned out
Mr.. Howell was brother of Will
liam Howell, former resident of
Riverside and an uncle of Bert
Howell of Mackay. Bert passed
through Blackfoot Monday morning
on his way to Albion to attend the
funeral.
Howell and another man occupied
a room together and when they learn
of the fire they started out by the
stairway but were cut off by the
flames. They then returned to their
room and opened the window. One
man got out, but the floor fell in and
carried Mr.. Howell with it. He was
a half brother to Mrs. H. B. Snod-
grass who lives on West Bridge street

close of the fiscal year. The western
members put up a strong fight in fa-
vor of the provision but they were
out voted, the democratic members
being almost unit against the con-
tinuance of the assay offices. Con-
gressman Smith, although allowed
five minutes only by the chairman of
the committee in charge of the bill,
made strong plea for the appropri-
alton from which the following is
quoted:
Con. Smiths Tribute to the Miners.
"Mr. Speaker, it has been the pol
icy Of our government ever since it
was first established to encourage the
pioneer in his efforts to push for
ward to the frontier in the develop
ment of the country. In furtherance
of this policy legislation was enacted
lending government aid to the con-
struction of transcontinental rail-
road. A homestead law was enacted
giving to every citizen 100 acres Of
public land with out cost, excepting
filing fees; and we have recently, I
am glad to say. enacted legislation to
establish bureau in the department
of agriculture to assist the farmer in
finding profitable market in which
to sell his products. We are spend
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars
toward the eradication of disease
among every kind of domestic ami
mails. We are appropriating hun
dreds of thousands of dollars toward
counteracting the effects of injurious

most of his life in the west. He was
a man of unassuming personality,
sterling integrity, and was one who
made many friends and held their
friendship because he deserved to.
He possessed so many good traits OF
character such as are universally re>
spected. that those who knew him
held him in high esteem. He was
charter member Of the Masonic lodge
at Blackfoot, and enjoyed keenly the
comradeship of his fellow Masons.
He lived the sweet pure life taught
by that order, and when he visited
among his fellowmen, his jokes and
conversation were above reproach.
If he sat in conference with
anybody on matters social busi-
ness or political, and expressed
his views or intentions, those who
knew him we'll knew that what he
said or expressed was sincere, and If
he had to disagree with others, it was
always a kindly difference, with char
ity for the others views.
When Mr.. Osborn was IS years old
he went to California via the Isthmus
of Panama, and here he bore the dis
tinction of having worked for Mr..
Marshall, the discoverer Of the yellow
metal in the fiume Of Suffers mill.
He came in touch with many of the
moving spirits Of those early days
when the west was new. The Com
stock mine was one of his stages Of
experience, Osborn's Hill near Car

manhood. He conducted blacksmith

The inactivity of the state in pro-

CATION company's project, in which
land was sold under the Carey act
and settlers lost hundreds of thou
sands of dollars regardless of the
fact that the company was under con-

In his letter to the governor, Mr..
