PUT FAKE NOTE IN A BOTTLE.
Practical Joke VIII Probably Cost
Forest Ranger His Job.

John B. Sofers, who is connected
with the forest service, gave out the
details of a hoax perpetrated by l.
Longfellow, who put a note in a bottle
corked 1t up and put it afloat in one
OF the branches of the Clearwater. John
Long, a forest ranger, discovered the
bottle. The note said in substance
For God s sake, send party to save
me. l have been lost in the hills for
three days. Save my wife, For a
signature the name of conrad, Ger.
man, was used. Long became greatly
wrought up over the note and steps
were begun in organizing search party
OF fifteen to twenty men. As the news
spread, it finally reached Longfellow
the perpetrator of the hoax, who ac.
knowledged his responsibility for the
note in the bottle. Great indignation
was stirred up among the forest rang
ers in the vicinity of Fierce, and IL is
understood that Longfellow will be dis
missed from the service.-Lewiston

JUDGE AILsHIE IN TOWN.

Judge James Ailshie, republican
candidate for the U. s. senate, arrived
the last of the week and remained
several days, meeting with his friends
here and advising with those who have
charge of his campaign. The Judge,
who has spent considerable time in the
south and is now completing a fort
nights trip through the north, stated
he was well pleased with the support
he was receiving and felt confident
that he would come out of the primary
with handsome plurality. In con-
versation with the writer the Judge
stated that he had TO depend upon
personal friends for support and found
any number active in his behalf over
the state. The fact that Judge Ailshie
is man of small fortune has made his
campaign one very difficult when one
considers the wealth of some Of the
candidates who are seeking the nomina-
tion on the same ticket, however. if
the sentiment among the republicans
of the North is any criterion to Judge
the state by, his nomination was long
ago assured.

fire BURNT l75
CORDS OF WOOD
LAST FRIDAY
BIG SMOKE ON MOUNTAIN AT.
TRACTS ATTENTION OF MANY
AROUND TOWN.
QUICK WORK CHECKS BLAZE
Starts From Some Unknown Cause at
Old Adam Brust Place and Kept
Within Small Area.

Through some unknown cause fire
broke out up on the mountain about
SIX miles from town at the Adam Brust
place last Friday afternoon and for a
while things looked very bad. By some
quick work and hard fighting the blaze
was confined to burn of about Is or
20 acres, although it looked for time
that the fire would spread in spite of
all that could be done to prevent it.
Several men including Frank Robert.
son, Waymore and Lee Gaynor, were in
the neighborhood of the s,iace when the
fire broke out and assisted in putting it
out. As soon as was possible forest
service men rushed to the place and
took charge of the work in fighting the
fire. They had the fire under control
by evening and it only remained to
watch that it did not break out again.
The fire started on the right side
iof the road in wood cutting and
about l75 cords of wood was burned.
On account of the large amount of
brush piled up in that section, the fire
would have spread rapidly had it not
been controlled.
Deputy Supervisor Brown states that
about sixteen people called him up and
told him about the fire after it had
started. Several of the lookout stations
on different parts of the reserve also
saw and reported the fire. The man
stationed on Pilot Knob which is in
Tom Crossleys' district saw the fire and
reported it to the office here. Ranger
Ayreson also reported the fire.
To forest guard, Mike Daisey, espe-
scial credit should be given for his
efficient AID quick work in getting
to the fire and in fighting it when he
got there. This is the season when the
forest service men are on the lookout
all Of the time to ascertain fires and to
Fush men to the scene as soon as possi-
,ble. just how the fire originated is
not known but it is presumed that it
started through some carelessness As
there is considerable wood cut up in
the neighborhood where the fire started
and several settlers have places around
there, big fire would have caused
considerable loss.

HORSE KILLED BY LIGHTNING
Two Men Working Nearby Stunned by
Bolt-Neither is Hurt.

Camas Prairie has been visited with
several quite violent electrical storm.
TINS year and the storm Of Monda,
AFTERNOON killed horse and stunned
several workmen in the near yicinit,
OF where the horse was killed.
A horse belonging to the johnson &
D'Amour threshing outfit out north
east OF town was struck and instantly
killed by tightening. The charge struck
the horse about the point of the should.
er and burned all of the hair off its
neck and shoulder and entered the
ground making large hole.
AS usual the freakish circumstances
which attend lightning were present
and the driver of the team, and the
mate OF the horse which was killed were
not injured. f. w. Little and another
member of the threshing crew. who
were about forty feet away were KNOCK.
ed insensible, for about twenty minutes.
Mr.. Little states that he believes
that he undoubtedly would not be here
to tell the story if it were not for the
fact that at the time he was wearing
rubber heels on his shoes which broke
the connection with the earth. As it
was the shock received left him in a
pretty nervous condition for a time.
The th1eshing outfit was run by a
gasoline engine and a good supply of
gasoline was present in wagon near
the engine. If the lightning had
struck there would have been little left
OF either the outfit or the crew to tell
the story. A field of about Is acres
OF wheat was fired by the lightning
but was soon put out

see no imminent danger to America
but on the other hand there will be un-
told prosperity. The situation is about
this: We have the products which
Europe must have and the safe arrival
to the other side is a problem that is up
to the old countries to meet. | predict
that England, with the largest navy in
the world, will provide a convoy for
bottoms carrying food products to her
shores. Last night 8 dispatches would
indicate she has arrived at this deci-
sion. 1t is reasonable to expect the
market for food product will be brisk
one.
The principal cause for apprehension
among the grain and fruit growers has
been the threatened railway strike on
the western lines but thanks to the wise
council of Presiden Wilson this has
been averted and these products which
count so much in the west, will find a
ready means of reaching the markets of
the east and the seaboard. Due to the
prompt action of the present admins
tration, there will be sufficient funds
to take care of the handling of the
abundant crop which is assured through
out the entire west and there is every
reason in the world to predict that the
western farmer will roll in wealth to
his ears this fall and his prosperity is
going to be reflected in all avenues of
trade and commerce.
"With hogs already at a top notch

PALOUSE COUNTRY AND OTHER
POINTS IN IDAHO AND WASH
INGTON TROUBLED.
CHEMIST ADVANCES REMEDY
Threshers on Prairie Say that no Such
Accidents Have Ever Happened
With Them Heretofore.

| Now that the harvest season ba,
commenced in earnest on the prairie
and threshing machines are beginning
to hum, it would seem that some fears
would be entertained by the loca
threshing machine men, that they will
have some experience with the smut
explosions which have destroyed sc
many machines in the Palouse country
and in other parts of Washington.
Since the work Of threshing has com
menced in the lower country where har
vest starts earlier than up here, the
papers have recorded case after case
where machines have been burned by
so called smut explosions.
The farmers in different localities in
Washington nd Idaho have taken steps
to investigate the causes of the losses
l3 out of 20 machines around Colfax
Washington have been destroyed. That
marked the number of accidents up to
July 25. Since that time Pullman, En-
dicott, Oaksdale and Sunset, Washing
ton, and plades in Idaho report further
accidents of the same nature.
Whether smut in the grain cause
the accidents is a debated question
among farm ers and threshers in tho
localities visited by smut explosions.
The peculiar features are found in the
fact that few cases, if any, are re-
ported where machines are destroyed
while working in barley. Oil is not the
cause says one farmer for machines are
not destroyed while working on barley.
A dispatch from Colfax, Washington,
to the Spokesman-Review last Friday
states that the accidents are not prop
erly called smut explosions, but are
incendiary in their origin. It was re-
ported that entire boxes of matches had
been found in bundles of grain which
were just to be fed into machines. One
member Of threshing crew not far
from Colfax is said to have been caught
in the act Of putting matches in the
bundles and has been turned over to the
authorities.
These are mere reports, however, and
uncertain in their reliability. The ac-
cidents are still occurring and are caus-
ing much Encouragement with thresh.
ing men and farmers, and Insurance
companies are becoming indifferent to
taking risks.
Prof. Geo. A. Olson, chemist of the
state experiment station at Pullman,
Washington, has advanced q remedy
which is good and practical. He sug-
gests the injecting Of jet Of steam
into the cylinder Of the threshing
machine as he grain passes in. Moth
ing in the nature Of q smut explosion
has ever occurred on the prairie as far
q we can learn and it is hoped that
this serious trouble will not favor US
