stoveI Announces.

oSfJs~week we are publishing the
ann0dncement of George w. Stoyel
as a candidate before the republican
voters for the nomination as county
clerk and recorder. Mr.. StoTel is
standing squarely on his record OF
the past four years and is willing
that the people of Canyon county
should investigate his official Ser
Ices and judge him accordingly.
From personal knowledge we be-
Iieve George Stovel to have made a
competent clerk and recorder. Under
his administration we believe the af-
fairs of that office have been ad-
ministered as cheaply as IS consist
ent with good government. His know
ledge of the office gained by four
wears of conscientious service means
q great deal in his favor. He should
and will no doubt receive strong sup
mort from the republican voters In
payette Valley and for that matter
IN the whole of Canyon County.

Despite the fact that for several

Investigations show that the damage

Tuesday through the courtesy of
Frank Hcgue, of Denney & Company,
the editor Of this paper was taken
for trip through the orchards

possible just what the damage had

Rezac were of the party Many Of
the orchards on the bench were Wis

result that the damage up to that
time was as near:y arrived at as was
possible until the apples have fully
formed.
Mr.. Hogue, who has yearly handed

"A DAUGHTER OF THE HILLS"
An Unusual Roman Subject in Nc
tian Pictures.

With that regard for variety Snd
versatility, the Famous Players Film
Company has delved far into the
past for it's latest relessa, back along
the dusty roads of time that lead
to ancient Rome and the days Cd
Nero.
The play, entitled "A Daughter
of the Hills" presents Laura Saw
AVER in the title role, and attempts to
1show that even then, when sayagery
was strength and cruelty glory, the
love of man and maid was a
greater force than all the primitiye e
barbarities of the period.
With a tranquil simplicity the sto-
ry relates how a gentle shepherdess,
all tenderness and sympathy, wed
a brutal gladiator, wrought a reveg-
sion in his primitive heart and spir-
itually conquered his savage impuls-
es. Paul the Apostle, who at the
time of the story was a prisoner in
Rome, aids in accomplishing this
victory.
The spirit of the story will guide
the imagination back to the old hills
of Bethlehem. 1t is a strong story
and a distinct departure from the
general trend of Roman subjects.
The imperial barbarism of Nero and
the sweet gentleness of Paul form
an inspiring contrast, heightened by
the tenderness of the heroine.

Disastrous Fire
Visits Payette
Michigan-ldah Lumber Company Suf'
J fers Heavy Less BY Fire Un-

Council Offers Reward for Appro-
hehsion. of Guilty Party.

, Wednesday morning near the houl
of one O'Clock the main building
of the Michigan-Idaho Lumber Com
pany was destroyed by fire entail
, ing loss of from sixty to eighty
thousand dollars. The main building
OF the plant containing all the ma
chinery for handling the logs and
cutting them into lumber was totally
destroyed.
The fire was first discovered by R.
G. Worley, the nightwatchman who
about twelve forty-five while sitting
on the porch of the office noticed a
light to the west of the mill which
he first thought was an automobile.
No auto coming in sight he stepped
over to the corner of the mill to in
vestigate and discovered the mill to
be on fire in three different places.
Running to his house a short distance
away he secured bucket and sue
ceeded in putting out two of the
blazes but the third had been. set so
far under the building as to make it
inaccessible only from the inside.
While he was breaking in the door
the fire gained such headway as to
make it impossible for him to do
any effective work with a bucket.
Wcrley then broke into the office
which was locked and by telephone
turned in an alarm. AS prompt re-
sponse as possible was made TO the
call but the building being dry ard
most of the timbers mounting the
machinery soaked with oil, it burned
very rapidly and nothing could be
done but save the adjoining buildings
and property. During the entire time
of the fire a high wind was blowing
from the north.
The watchman tells straight sto-
ry and it is very evident that the |
building was fired and from without |
Feeling among the citizens of Pay |
cite runs very high and a reward of |
$500 has been offered for the appre |
hension and conviction of the incen- /
diary by the city council.
The big drive of four million feet /
of logs was started on the upper
river Tuesday of this week and the .
mill was getting ready to begin OPP
erations this summer. Since the bur
uing of the mill the citizens of Pay
cite begin to feel the necessity of
some prompt action and several mat
ters which have been in the way
will now probably be taken up and
cleared away.
General Manager J. S. Crosby of
the Michigan-Idaho Lumber Company
has given out no statements as to
what the intentions of the company
are as he will probably have to COM
municate with the other officials in
-he east. The loss is estimated by
him at $4,000 and the amount of
Insurance is not known as it had

to the Weiser High Tuesday, to 4.
The game was a good deal bstter
than the score indicates. In deeen-
sive work the local boys were out
played by We;ser but on the often
sive their work was 100 per cent
pure. Nesbitt pitched a nice game
allowing but hits one of which
was a home run over the left field
fence. Weiser's hurler was touched
for bingles four of which wene
two base clouts. Dibble and Steffin
were the hickory stars, Dibble with a
double and two singles and Steffin
with two doubles. In the ninth f.
Goodwin connected for two bases
scoring two runs. Waters played a
nice game at short for Weiser. TAX
en- adj in all the boys played a coed
game and are deserving of better
patronage from the public and the
students. The attendance was very
small and no noise to ''holler" about.
