FIRE IN KAlSERHoF HOTEL DOES
$4,000 DAMAGE


Fire, starting in the attic of the old
building, caused $4,000 to the Kais-
erhof hotel, BIG S. Clark st. The fire
also spread to the new building,
where several costly, rugs were
ruined.
About $50 guests were driven to
the street. Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, who was hearing a jurisdic-
tiOnal dispute between the Sheet
Metal Workers and the Carpenters,
saved many valuable documents be-
longing to union labor. Fireman
Cleary fell while carrying hose up the
stairs and was badly cut. R. V. Has
set, wire inspector, blamed crossed
electric wires. Fire Chief O'ConnOr
said a wrecked standpipe from the
street hampered the work of his men.

PROBE WHEAT JUMP


In the wake of the soaring wheat
prices, which reached $165 a bushel,
is a federal investigation, aimed at
the big grain men of the city. Specu-
latiOn is suspected.
The report that men prominent in
the grain trade were being called in
droves to the Office of U. S. Dist Atty
Charles Clyne threw scare into the
elevator owners and traders.
Orders from Washington for qliz
into the high prices caused renew
ed activity in CIyne's offices.
The fact that the federal grand
jury is now in session was pointed to
as having a connection with the ap-
pearance of the traders.
Present prices, however, were not
affected by the investigation. Wheat
jumped to $1.65, flour raised 20 cents
a barrel and today the bakers start
selling the Scent loaf of bread.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 3.-Nine union
men, or sympathizers, had been ar
rested today charged with murder as
a result of wholesale indictments re-
turned by the Walsenburg grand jury
which investigated the strike violence
during the recent labor troubles in
the southern coal fields.
All Of the indicted men, including
Charles Haines, secretary of the
Walsenburg miners union; John
Burke, president and president and
secretary of the state federation of
labor, are in jail today. Seven of
them are in the Walsenburg Jail. VIII
liam T. Hickey and Eli M. Gross. the
state federation officials, are still in
Denver, but will be transferred to
Walsenburg.
1t developed today that Hickey and
Gross are charged with arson as well
as murder. The details of the charges
against the various men are with
held pending the arrest of all of those
indicted.
It is believed the indictments are
based on the killing of Major P. P.
Lester of the Colorado national
guard, the killing Of two non-com-
batants and the burning of the Nc
Nally mine in the fighting at Walsen-
burg in April.

A FOOL THERE WAS

Mortimer Strange sat on the We

slipped his whisky and soda. He was
thinking hard-so hard that pretty

tapped him playfully upon the arm.
What is the matter that you are
so silent, Morty?" she asked.

mer Strange, gulping down his drink.
He had been thinking extremely
hard. He had been thinking over his
past. At the age of 35, four years
ago, he had suddenly found himself
transformed, through a mixture of
luck and ability, from a hard-work-
ing clerk in the war office to man
ager Of the Ginever powder factory,
at a salary of $4,000. The powder
factory was in intimate touch with
the government at Washington and
was the only maker of the famous
new thermolite powder.
AS clerk, Mortimer Strange had
lived contentedly with his wife, who

Then had come the removal of
Gloss, and Strange found himself in
an entirely new atmosphere. For the
first time in his life he realized that
evening clothes were an indispensa-

there was the social life, and the

wife's face was the hardest thing
that Mortimer had to bear.
And the friends that had grown up
around him as if by magic were of
the fast set. There was Mrs. Lydia
Emmons, for instance. Nobody knew
where Mr.. Emmons was, but she had
money and spent it royalty. Nobody
thought it strange that she and Nor

WHY NOT A STATE
HIGHWAY MANVAL

The middle west and eastern states
are publishing these manuals for use
Of those controlling and engaged In
the road business. The results have
been very satisfactory Why should
not Idaho do the sameI
Much good has come from local
road schools conducted by the civil
engineering department of the uni
versity. considerable portion Of
the benefit came not from the lee
lures, excellent as they we're, but
from interchange Of ideas OF road
men. They learned from each other.
The same go7d could come from =
good state highway manual. We
have some well-built roads in Idaho
that are serYiceable the year round.
But we have more OF the other kind /;
grades not properly handled, t"o vide,
too narrow, not crowned, clay roads
not sanded, sand roads not trested
with clay and other defects. Most
roads are graded annually or blsn-
nially instead of proprly graded once
and maintained cheaply thereafter By
the King drag.
Let all road men be ~ expert as
the few and our tax money be veil
spent. A highway manual will give
them the know how. Give 1T to
them.
