.RANCRER BURNED OUT;
ALL CROPS DESTROYED

Fire Of unknown origin on Sunday
night wiped out the buildings on a
homestead owned by ]. ]. Wright and
located about seven miles southeast of
Boise and also cleaned out the entire
crop, consisting of 20 acres of rye,
which had just been stacked. the total
loss being estimated at about $1,000.
Mr.. Wright and his family are at
Homedale and have not yet been adj
vised OF the loss. ]. A. Ames Of the
Ames wholesale grocery, was advised
of the fire last night and reports that
there was a small house, two barns
and chicken house on the place.
The blaze was seen by many people
in Boise and an attempt was made to
find out where it was. but as there are
no very near neighbors it remained a
mystery until the word came to Boise
last night from man who passed the
place, made an investigation and
knowing the owner was friend of Mr..
Ames advised him Of the calamity.

CITY BEAUTIFUL
PLANS DISCUSSED
Council of Women Voters
Extends Thanks to Post
master P. M. Davis.

At the meeting Of the Boise chapter,
National Council of Women Voters, last
evening one of the important measures
was a vote of thanks to Postmaster
Davis for his efforts toward civic
beauty in arranging for the seeding or
the quarter block north of the federal
building and for his energy in securing
the necessary appropriation. With the
vote of thanks was also a request that
the path now generally used across
that corner be retained for the accom-
mediation of the down town public
having business at the state or county
offices. In the discussion incidents
were quoted of small plots in larger
cities which for the purpose of further
beauty alone the grass plots were cut
by paths. which would be doubly ac-
ceptable here since the back door of
the postoffice Is now used as an exit
for the patrons on holidays.
The general subject OF the program
was also along the line of civic beauty
in Boise Mrs. James G. Green read a
paper suggesting several ways for the
individual to add to the civic beauty
and also told of the new playground
which has been established among the
big old trees on Fifth and Grove
streets. This corner is owned by c.
w. Moore. who has graciously loaned
Its use to the children of the neigh
borhood under the careful supervision

THEN

Forty-six years ago today the first official
test of dynamite in England was made. The
hills around Merstham shook beneath the
mighty vibrations of a explosive born to
civilization. 1t had been discovered by Alfred
Nobel of Sweden and it's experimental tests
made In the preceding year. Nobel created it to
take the place of the untamed nitro glycerin
which had appalled, the world for several years
with its grim trag edies. The inventor had lost
his father and brother when his nitroglycerin
factory had blown up a few years before his dis
covery. It's death toll was such that England.
Belgium and Sweden forbade its manufacture.
The world was aroused when as climax to its
record a ship loaded with nitro giycerin blew
up in mid-ocean while its way from Europe
to Chill and the governments were the point
of prohibiting It's use 1t was then that Nobel
began his experiments toward tanning nitro
glycerin--and created dynamite, or giant pow
der" II first called in the United States.
In his worldwide propaganda to convince gov
ernments that dynamite was a safe explosive,
the inventor came to America. II was while he
was registering at a small hotel in New York
that he casually exclaimed to the hotel clerk
that his satchel contained dynamite The clerk
firmly ordered Nobel to seek other quarters, and
was relieved when he went out Of the door.

of volunteer workers. Mrs. Margaret
Cook spoke further on this subject in
the phase of vacant lot cleanliness.
Two names We're presented for rec
ognition by that committee and
adopted by tho council those of Miss
Catherine Davis of New York, whose
work in the city house cleaning has
been especially worthy, and Harriet
Schwartz of Columbus, O., who in con
nection with her store in that city is
publishing a little magazine of uplift
for general distribution. The recog
ntion work is unique in this organiza-
ton and consists of vote and subse-
quent note of appreciation to women
whose efforts are especially commend
able.
In the open forum the subject OF the
wards of the state was discussed. At
torney General Peterson was present
and spoke of the experiment now be-
ing made by the prison board in per
hitting the prisoners to improve state
land. The discussion was open to all
and Mr.. Peterson kindly answered
many inquiries

NOW

Today dynamite is being manufactured IN
the United States at the rate Of 900
pounds a year. Filling 5000 freight cars 1t is
constantly being transported the railroads
of the country. Though 1t is the third most
powerful explosive in general use, It has been
tanned that railroad companies receive 1t for
transportation almost readily they do COAL
Nitro glycerin, however, is still under the
portation ban in both the United States and Eu-
rope. Dynamite is today one Of the most i'm
portant factors in the progress Of civilization.
Without 1t the mighty engineering achievements
the Panama canal, the mountain and river
tunnels-could not be accomplished. It takes
important part in building the modern sky
scrapers 1t is used to mine the necessary huge
quantities OF iron and other metals that enter
into structures 1t blasts out the millions of
tons Of coal that supply heat, light and power,
and give life to the locomotives that bring food
and clothing to the populace OF cities. 1t is help
ing to grow the food eat-the modern scien-
tihc farmer 1t to pillow his land its explo-
sions shattering the sub-soil which pillow ever
reaches. 1t is said to increase the crops greatly
in quality and at by 80 per cent in quantity. To-
day dynamite is used to fight great conflagra.
tions, to fight and to prepare for large
part OF the progress OF the world.

NO ACTION TAKEN
!. ON PARK PETITION
Not Enough Names to Re-
quire the Submission of
Proposition to People.

The city council met at 10 o'clock
this morning in adjourned session and
quickly disposed OF the general bust
ness. Miss Robertson, city clerk, re-
ported that the petition to submit to
the voters OF Boise the proposition to
purchase the fair grounds for a park
conained only T12 names, while T66
were required by law making the Pc
tition 81 short of the needed number.
Councilman Finegan stated that he
felt the petition should he declared
dead and made a motion that it be
SO considered. He stated some three
months had been consumed to get the
required number of names and with all
the effort put forth 1t had proven a
failure and he did not believe the city
officers and council should waste more
time on it. His motion was not sec
onded. but Councilman Eichelberger
stated that he did not believe there
was any very great demand to pur-
chase the fair grounds for park pur-
poses or at least half the bona fide vot-
ers at the last election could have been
secured to a petition and as a three
fourths vote was required to pass it
he did not believe 1t would carry.
William Krull, secretary of the fair
association, asked the council to sub
NIT the proposition to the voters on the
petition, but all felt that they should not
do so unless the petition was complete
and passed the matter up for further
consideration.
Councilman Finegan introduced an
ordinance prohibiting the cutting of
curbs and placing crossings thereover
without a permit from the city engi-
neer
Electrician for Lighting System.
A communication was received from
the local union of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers ask
Ing the council to recognize that or
ganization in selecting an electrical
engineer to care for the new city
| lighting system. An application from
II. A. Seabright was also received ask
ing for the position Of electrical engi
neer for the city at a salary of $125
per month. Both communications were
taken under advisement.
Colonel Wood, secretary of the citi-
zens right Of way, appeared before the
council and asked whether the city
wished to continue to use the right-of-
way for the asphalt plant purchased
from the Barber Asphalt company, de-
claring that the rent on the ground
expired the last of August. The council
agreed to let Mr.. Wood know in a few
days whether or not 1t would want the
ground and agreed TO clean 1t off
thoroughly in case 1T was given up.

COMMISSION ASKS
 NO FURTHER FUNDS FOR THE STATE CAPITOL
BUILDING COMPLETED AND NO MORE APPROPRIATIONS
 ARE NEEDED.

Little Rock, Dec. 14.-For the first time in half dozen sessions of the general assembly, no appropriation will be asked for by the state capitol commission, the building today stand ing practically completed. There could yet be spent about S25,000 in interior decoration, but the commission will not ask the legislature to appro- priate as it is not urgent, and the people can we'll get along without it at the present time.
 When the legislature convenes the capitol will be entirely furnished and the capitol fund will be practically exhausted. What is left will not be sufficient to do any real work with, and it will be held until the state is in a condition to continue with the work.
 The principal decoration yet to be made is the eight panels of the large dome, in the center of the building. The capitol commission has decided to assign these panels to as many citi- zens of the state, to be decorated by them. It is planned to have the dec orative design portray the early his tory of the cities, and in that way make it historical. The commission has had not figures upon the cost of this work, but it is thought it would cost no more than the decorative work in other sections of the building, which has just been completed by Paul M. Heerwagen. This cost s12,000, and in which it was executed, Cass Gilbert the capitol architect, states that it could not have been done elsewhere for less than S25,000.
