HEAVY LOSS CAUSED
BY FIRE AT NAMPA

The Partridge building on First
street was destroyed by fire Tuesday
afternoon. An explosion in the rear
of the millinery store in the building
caused the fire, which for time
threatened adjoining buildings. Miss
frankie Walling, proprietress of the
store, denies that there was any ex-
plosives about the place, and there is
much speculation as to what caused
the explosion. Volunteers assisted
the fremen and after hard fight the
flames were confined to the Partridge
building. The loss on the building
is estimated at $1,000, with half that
amount of insurance. Miss Walling
carried 81 900 insurance on her stock,
but this will not nearly cover the
loss.

GOV. GOODING MAKES
STRONG ADDRESS

Fomer Governor Frank R. Gooding
opened his campaign in Caldwell for
the Republican nomination for United
States senator at a public meeting
held at the armory Tuesday evening
The audience was not as large as i
should have been, there being present
between rs and 100. However the
attendance was highly representative
of the best citizenship of Caldwell
and Canyon county 1t was compos-
ed of business men, professional men
and farmers of this immediate sec
ton.
Governor Gooding was introduced
by Judge w. A. Stone who called at
tention to the important part Gov
ernor Gooding has taken in the de-
velopment and history of Idaho; to
his many good qualities as a private
citizen and public official; to the fact
that he was peculiarly at home in
Canyon county owing to the part he
took in the trials growing out of the
assassination of Governor Frank
Steunenberg; and to his eminent
qualifications for United States SEN
ator. Mr. Stones remarks were
greeted with great applause Mr..
Gooding received an enthusiastic re-
ception when he arose to speak
Governor Gooding's address was
mainly taken up with a discussion of
the tariff question which he handled
in mastery manner He presented
his side of the question in an earnest
interesting manner and held the at
tention of his audience from begin
ming until the end.
Governor Gooding stated that he
believed that every man aspiring to
such an Office as that of United States
senator should first let the people
know the principles which he advo-
cates-the platform upon which he
stands. Governor Gooding stands
first for a protective tariff; for national
prohibition of the liquor traffic; for
national woman's suffrage law; for
national aid for public highways; for
legislation that will place the farmer
upon an equal footing with all other
industries when it comes to secure
credit. He will favor legislation that
will enable the farmer to secure long
time loans at a reasonable rate of
interest
The discussion of the tariff ques-
ton was the strongest talk that the
people of this city have ever heard.
The subject was presented in a new,
interesting and highly effective man
ner He reviewed the tariff history
of the country from the time of the
passage of the Walker bill in 1916
and showed the resulting disaster
which overlook the country; took up
the two administrations of Cleveland
clearly showing the difference in the
condition of the country under a
Democratic president where the party
was in full control of the govern
ment and where it was held in check
by a Republican senate. The latest
tariff bill Mr.. Gooding pronounced
the least defensible and most iniqui-
tious in the history OF the country
He called attention to its sectional.
ism; to its discrimination in favor OIL
the south and the trusts as against
the west and the farmers. The wide
spread depression that exists anc
the disaster that is to overtake thu
industries of the country is attribut
ed directly to the Underwood tariff
bill.
Governor Gooding made splendic
impression upon those present.

Alfred F. Stone who has announced
his candidacy for County Attorney
on the Republican ticket certainly is
going to give his views to the voters
of this county regarding taxation
conditions. In a letter to the editor
of this paper Mr.. Stone states that
he has no hesitancy whatever in
giving to the people of this county
his views and just what efforts he
thinks should be made to remedy
matters and has promised a statement

Caldwell's brightest young attorney
and is rated by all who know him

Railroads Must Make Restitution.

Railroads Must Make Restitution.
Idaho, in company with the other
intermountain states, is greatly inter
ested in the decision of the Supreme
Court OF the United States which
provides for the restitution of millions
OF dollars on freight shipments made
since the institution of thu cases. The
total amount involved is said to be
IN the neighborhood of $12OO0.000 of
which amount a good proportion is
due Idaho men. During the past two
years heavy shippers have filed with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
claims aggregating the amount set for
above Tor excessive freight rates paid
The decision of the Supreme Court
opens the way for the Interstate Com
merce Commission to consider these
claims and force the railroad COM
panies to make restitution.
he cases were known as the Inter
mountain cases and the decision pro-
yides for restitution of excessive
freight paid while the cases were
pending in court
The same day the Supreme Court
handed down another decision which
is of more or less importance to this
state, unfolding the right of the In
terstate Commerce Commission to
create freight zones. The creation
OF these zones was annulled by the
Court OF Commerce which no longer
exists. The Supreme Court uphoIds
the Commission.
| AS to the intermountain rate orders
themselves, however, their effect is
that cities west of the Rocky Noun
tains will not be forced to pay upon
their freight from the east, the re,
gular rate through to the Pacific coast
and then also another rate from the
! Pacihc coast back to their stations,
because the railroads are competing
with water borne traffic around Cape
Horn or through the Panama Canal,
They will, however, pay certain in
creases over the normal rates from
certain zones. Thus the railroads NAV
charge no more than the regular rate
on shipments originating in the terri
tory west of a vertical line drawn
through St. Paul They may, however
charge an increase of 7 per cent on
those originating between St. Paul
and Chicago, not more than IS per
cent on those between Chicago and
Pittsburg and the Atlantic seaboard
Those increases the commission pre-.
Scribed as reasonable because IF the
condition of the water competition.
AS a result of the decision all ures.

WEEKLY REVIEW STATE
NEWS WITH OUR
COMMENT

A goat will continue to butt his
head against a stone wall after he
hnds out that it is stone wall. Per-
sistency is to be practised but the ex
ample OF the goat is not to be
emulated
According to public statements
made by members of the committee
which recently visited Washington in
behalf OF the north side of the Paw
cite Boise irrigation project, Secre-
tary Lane persists in looking upon
thls enterprise as a new project and
not to be considered until the old pro
Jects are completed Secretary Lane
was OF this opinion last summer.
While in Caldwell he listened to the
settlers and after hearing their pleas
stated that he did not consider the
north side part of the Payette- Boise
project and further that in his opinion
the government was under no moral
Obligations to complete the enter
PRISE. Recently we sent to Washing
ton as able, as representative and as
strong committee as could be found
IN the entire state of Idaho. This
committee was unable to make an inn
preston upon the Secretary of the In
terror. He is a stone wall in all the
term implies in so far as the north
side is concerned.
There is no question in the minds
OF everybody else but that the govern
ment is under obligations to the north
side settlers. Arguments showing
the ooiigatlon OF the government have
been brought to the attention of out
side and disinterested persons. With
out exception those persons can see
the obligation. Secretary Lane can
not, and that is the end of it for the
present.
The settlers on the north side NAV
as well abandon all hope of inter
esting the Reclamation Service, or the
Interior Department. However from
Tune to time, arises rumors of other
methods of retaining this tract Of
land so confident have the settlers
oeen IN the honesty of purpose and
fairness OF mind of the officers of the
government that they have paid scant
attention to these other methods. II
is too bad that they did not give them
more consideration. 1t is not too
late now to look about us. Othe,
methods will have to be found and rhe
sooner we go about finding them the
better it will be for all concerned.
In the issue of June IL of The Fri
bune was letter from a New York
capitalist who states unequivocably
that he could finance and was ready
to undertake the north side enter
prise. We have no knowledge of the
man in question but he is certainly
worth investigating. The investiga-
ton will cos; norhing. We call at
tention to this letter at this time sim.
pie to remind the Black CANYON sci
tiers that there is still hope. A wav Of
escape will open up provided thcy
look diligently.
