FLAMES DESTROY
PART OF GENESEE

Genesee Ida. Aug. l7,-The local
fire department and citizens through
their efforts last Sunday afternoon
saved the entire city from being
wiped out by fire. A fierce wind
was raging at the time and for a
period it seemed certain that the
town was doomed. The scene of the
fire was in the central part of town
and with the high west wind blow
ing, if the flames had jumped across
the street east or across the alley on
the south, nothing could have saved
the town. The Uniontown fire de-
partment responded promptly to a
call, sending men and hose. There
was 13 feet of water in the reser-
voir, the, supply being good. The
fire took four dwelling houses, be.
sides the M. E. parsonage and the
M. E. church. The fire started a
bout 2 o'clock in the home of Chas
P. Whalen, while the family was a
bsent, the Origin being mystery
The loss is placedat about $10,O
partially covered by insurance. A
number of barns and out building:
were destroyed.

REGISTER ON THE
DAY Of ELECTION

While the new registration Laws
provide that no registration can be
taken by any regular registration Of
ficer for a period of thirty days next
preceding any election, it will be of
interest to any voter who failed to
register before the expiration of
this period to know that said Regis
tration Laws provides a method of
registering voters on the day of any
Election, this being done before any
Election Judge at the regular Poll
ing places of any precinct; the fol-
lowing quotation from said registra-
iton laws makes the procedure under
this method plain: ANY elector may
be registered in the county in which
he resides, on the day of election, be-
fore any judge of election in the
precinct in which he is qualified to
vote, in e same manner as before
one of the registration officers here
in before mentioned, but such appli-
cant must be identified and vou"hed
for by some freeholder in such pre-
cinct," The blanks "Elector's s
Oaths" and "Freeholder's Affidav-
it's" will be sent to all precincts with
regular election supplies and under
this law no qualified voter can be
deprived of voting because his name
does not appear on the regular reg
istration lists. 1t shall be the duty
of the Judges of Election so register
ing any elector to transmit thu
Electors Oaths' and such, Free
holders Affidavits" to the Clerk O.
the District Court at the same tim'
that he transmits his poll list as Sc
forth by law and in this manner al
electors names registered on the da,
of election can be entered on tn
registration books of the Count
5 with the Clerk of Court.

WORK RUSHED
ON FAIR EXHIBIT

Exhibitor Brown is making splen-
did progress with the exhibit he is
getting ready for the Fairs this fall.
He already has twenty-six sheaves
Of wheat and oats put up in his new
process for making small grain
ready for exhibition purposes. The
grain this year that is being prepar-
ed is far better than any thing used
in the past. The amount of differ
ent kinds of grasses is surprising
that Mr.. Brown has been able to
gather. The Farmers have brought
in some of the best samples Of
grains this year that was ever rails
ed in any country. There is no
doubt in our minds, but that the ex-
hibit from this section this year will
far surpass anything that can be
shown in this western country.
The conditions in weather this
year, not having a rain since April,
goes to show that this country will
yeild a large crop without rain or
irrigation, something that no other
country can boast of. With the ex-
hibit of this year coupled with the
verified statements of the amount of
grain raised in this section can not
help being one of the greatest ad'
vertisements that ever went out for
any country.

FOREST FIRES
UNDER CONTROL

Lewiston, Aug. 20.-All reports
received last night indicated that
danger of further damage from fires
has been removed and the officials
who have waged the fight against
the fires since early in July, feel
that the critical period for the year
has passed. Major F. A. Fem,
supervisor of the Selway national
forest, reported last night that he
had had 81 fires to contend with
since the first of July and that all
fires are now checked and the only
fire that is giving trouble is on the
Locksaw and this fire is under COM
plete control. Major Fem stated
that he had been compelled to use
large unmber Of men because of the
large number of fires, but his forces
have been we'll organized and effort
has been made to stamp out the fires
as soon as they originated. The re-
port from Orofino is that the fire
situation was in fine shape last night.
The fires on Washington creek and
Fourth of July creek completely
controlled and two days more of
favorable weather will see the fires
on Ford's creek stamped out. The
Ford's creek fire has burned but
little valuable timber and in only a
few places has the top of the canyon
been reached. A large force is
being used at this point to extingu-
ish the fire before another wind
storm, this being one of the points
where the high wind Sunday carried
the flames with great speed and it is
feared that valuable timber will be
endangered in the event second
wind storm is experienced. A re
port from Cavendish stated the two
fires in the Southwick section are
now reported under control. 1t i!
stated the state suffered a severe
loss by one of these fires while tht
other fire was entirely within th'
holdings of the Potlatch Lumber
company. A number of rancher
sustained the loss of their timbe
and few ranch buildings wer
burned. Neither Cavendish no
So'-thwick has received report o
: the area of the burned distric
,sut the view was expressed a
Cavendish that the burned area
much smaller than has been report
ed. The weather conditions yestel
day continued ideal for effectiv
work in fire fighting, the cool ten
perature and dew of the night prac
tically stopping the advance of fire
at all points and it was well towar
noon before the flames appeared t
recover from the check of the nigh
By that time the fire fighters ha
been able to complete their trencht
so that all fires were reported su
rounded last evening and it is ne
believed that any of the fires wi
escape from the boundaries esta
lished by the fighters.

BAY RUM is NOT AN
INTOXICATING BEVERAGE

Jamaica ginger is not an intoxicant
unless it jntoxicates, that is, unless it
contains sufficient alcohol to produce
intoxication and is sold as q beverage,
according TO an opinion handed down
by the attorney general today.
The inquiry came from ernest Haskell.
of Gardiner. The search of the statutes
relative 10 this inquiry revealed ain
opinion from learned judge who said
that Jamaica ginger and hay rua,
though containing alcohol, were not
generally regarded as beverages and
were seldom if ever used for this pur-
pose. One notable example, however,
was at the Oregon state pen. where the
prison barber took aboard cargo of
bay rum aud became gloriously drunk.
The prison officials eliminated the
soothing influences If bay rum from
the prison barber shop as a result.
