FOREST FIRE AT BIG.
EDDY
A Timely Rain Extinguished
What Appeared to be a Very
Serious COnflagratiOn.

What threatened to be a serious
forest fire at the Big Eddy on the
North Fork, was extinguished by a
timely rain which fell in the upper
country Sunday night.
The fire broke out Friday and was
caused by sparks from an Idaho Nor
thern engine. Forest Supervisor
Mains and his assistant Frank Moore,
at once responded to the call, and the
railroad company sent up special
train with force of rs men on board,
in charge of Division Superintendent
Brooks.
This force of meE with the aid of
a rain of about an hour and half,
succeeded in subduing the flames Sun
day.
Just what damage was done has no.
yet been figured out. The amount OF
ground burned over was about $50
acres, but it is said that for the most
pert it was brush and small timber of
no considerable value.

Quake Cracks Earth

A crack in the earth nearly 25
miles in length and from 6 inches to
A feet wide was made by the earth
quake of last week near Winnemucca,
Nevada, according to letter received
here yesterday. One bank of the crew
ice has slipped down to a depth of
from 10 to so feet. The quake
blocked up many old springs and
opened up a number of new ones. One
dry valley is now a lake of consider
able size. The tremblor did little

BASEBALL is 70 YEARS OLD.
First Team Was Organized in New
York on September %, 1845.

1t may interest the baseball fans
to know that their favorite game has
passed its SEVENTEEN birthday. 1t
was on September %, 1845, that the
earliest baseball club was formed
In the start it was called the Base
ball Club, but little later on took
the name of Knickerbocker Club.
The rules of the game have not
been preserved, but fundamentally
they were like the present ones. The
bound catch was sanctioned, and the
pitching was really pitching, not
throwing.
Because of the heavy batting one
of the early rules declared that the
club making the first twenty-one runs
should be given the game.
The Knickerbockers played on va
cant lot in what is now lower New
York, but presently went over to Ho-
boken and marked out a diamond on
the Elysian Fields. For a time the
nine was the whole thing in the new
sport. 1t was the model, the pattern,
to which the other mines, as they were
called, looked up.
Then something happened.
The New York nine, in the summer
of 1916, went over to Hoboken and
beat the Knickerbockers at their own
game and on their own grounds, 81
to 1.

| One of the newest conveniences be-

box travels on wire from the farm
house to its station along the road,
where the rural carrier passes, and is
sent down to the road, where it, is
caught in hook device each morn

A raisin special reached Chicago re-
Gently over the Santa Fe, after rec
ord run from Fresno, Cal. This train,
exclusively chartered by the Califor-
MIA Associated Raisin Co., gained 72
hours on the regular fast freight
schedule. The special consisted of 80
cars, containing nearly 100000
pounds of "sunmaid" raisins. If used
in raisin bread this shipment would
provide for about 100000 loaves; its
value was approximately 100000.
While grading ground around the
barn on the Jack Young place a mile
south of town, an Indian skull was IN
earthed. Part of the back of the skull
was cut off by the scraper, and the
lower jaw was gone. The teeth in
the skull were well preserved but
were worn and as smooth as if in use,
and gives the appearance of being the
skull of a very old Indian. The skull
is displayed in the window of the Butte
hardware store with a collection of
other Indian relics belonging to E.
Sweet, among them being an old rifle
which was found and believed to be
the property of an old Indian chief.
The date, 1887, is stamped on the ri
file. The collection makes very at
tractive display.-Sweet Sentinel.

TWO CHILDREN BITTEN
BY RABID DOG
County Board of Health Adopt
Strict Rules for Con-
troll of Dogs.

Wednesday morning, two children
one a son of L. r. Russell OF Letha
and the other son of Andy Rasmus-
sen of Falk, were attacked by rab-
id dog and severely bitten. The Rus
sell boy was bitten several times on
the arm.
The dog was brown in color and had
a chain collar. Its owner is not known
The Russell boy was attacked while
he was on his way to the Letha
school. The dog then continued his
travels along the road down the val
lev. At the Wampler place he at
tackled a flock of turkeys and at
Falk the Rasmussen boy. An alarm
was at once given, and the farmers
all along the route turned out In
force with guns and killed the dog
after a hard chase. The head was
brought to town and then sent to
Boise for examination. DR.. Clark,
who examined it says there is no
doubt it was mad. The two victims
are being treated with serum.
In view of the probability that 9TH
er dogs may have been bitten, the
county commissioners and the county
health officer passed the following
resolution:
Whereas, 1t at this time appears
that there is much danger to the
public health by reason of hydropho-
bia and other infectious and conta-
Annc in tho
county of Gem, state of Idaho; and,
Whereas, 1t is deemed imperatively
necessary for the county board OF
health of Gem county to adopt and
to enforce certain rules and regula-
lions for the purpose of preventing
the further spread of such infectious
and contagious diseases; now there
fore,
Be it resolved, that the county
board of health of Gem county, Ida
no, do adopt and there is hereby
adopted, the following rules and regu-
lations:
/. The owners of any dog, or the
person or persons having control or
charge of any dog within the county
of Gem, state of Idaho, shall be re-
quired, and is hereby required, to
keep such dog in substantial en-
closure sufficient at all times to re-
strain such dog, or, if such dog shall
at any time be released from such in
closure, then the owner thereof, or
the person or persons having charge
or control of such dog, shall provide
such dog with a muzzle and inclose
the mouth of such dog with such muz-
zle, in such a substantial manner as
to afford protection to all persons and
animals against such dog at all times
when released from such inclosure.
2. Any person failing to comply
with the foregoing rule and regula-
ton shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor; and all dogs that are not
restrained as above provided shall be
killed wherever found.
8. 1t is hereby made the duty of
all sheriffs, constables and police Of
fcers in the county of Gem, state of
Idaho, to enforce the provisions of
this resolution.
4. This resolution shall be and re-
main in force and effect from and af-
ter its publication, and until the
county board of health of Gem coun-
ty, Idaho, shall otherwise order.

National Preparedness" Folly.

National preparedness" just now
appears to be slogan with political
parties and alarmists in the United
States; fearing, we presume, the en-
croachments of foreign powers in the
spirit of war. Big battleships, air mu
nitions and other implements of saw
agry and war, costing billions of dollars
of treasure and finance, needed in the
more humane and civilized pursuits of
life, would be required to carry out the
schemes of these national prepared
ness" advocates. For hundreds OF
years Germany and other foreign coun-
tries practiced the arts of war, educat-
ing their young men to the military
waste spirit. Does ony reader of his
tory doubt that the present human
slaughter in the old world is, in meas
ure at least, the result of foreign ''pre-
paredness?" For half a century the
young men of foreign countries have
been pouring into free America to
escape the. waste in time and energy
in military eXactions. No human mind
cab predict the close of the present
preparedness slaughter of our broth
ers across the water, and whether it be
soon or remote, the loss of life and des-
titution will be appalling and the finsn-
cial depression and waste will be their
heritage for two or three centuries TO
come, largely as a result of prepared
mess" for war;
The Censor has no belief that the
l.eople of this great country of ours de-
re the wasting of their resources,
leir hard-earned accumulations in war
and its attendant results. Such cam
, align as the advocates of prepared
ness would place upon the activities
of our country would mean the levying
of billions of taxes upon individuals,
communities, states and the nation.
The tax burden from high to low is
now well-nigh unbearable, and we want
no war tax. Spare the loss OF human
lives, and the extravaganza OF war, by
sending the national preparedness
fellows to the rear. '-Viroqua Censor

Meeting of the Mems Club.

The first meeting of the Mems Club
of the Congregational church was held
at the home of J. j. Pearson Friday
evening, Nov. 5th. There were over
40 present and as this was the first
time to meet with the club, the pastor
of the Congregational church, Rev.
Marvin Brandt, chairman of the pro-
gram committee, gave short address
before the regular program.
The subject discussed was: RE
solved. That the city of Edgerton has
a right to expect legal redress for dam
ages done in the recent flood due to the
draining of various marshes into Saun-
ders creek" Hal. R. Martin for the
affirmative gave clear and consise
statement of the law governing such
cases. This was answered very ably
by D. F. Devine of the drainage board,
followed by H. S. Pomeroy for the
same. Other speakers to defend the
city were Andrew Jensen, Rev. F. w.
Schoenfeld, C. G. Biederman, John
Dickerson and others. The conclusions
drawn from the various arguments
were that the city had lost its claim
for damages by default of action at the
proper time.
The next meeting of the club will be
held Friday evening, Nov. 10Th, at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. L. j. Dickinson.
The subject is one that is in the minds
of great many Americans Today but
perhaps not expressed Resolved,
That it is wrong for the United States
as a neutral nation to sell arms and
munitions to beligerents.
