An alarm of fire was turned in
last Thursday morning, the residence
Of Frank Gransbery, at the south
west of town being discovered on
fire. The department turned out
promptly, but it was found that no
fire plug was near enough to the
property to be OF any service, and the
chemical apparatus was brought into
use with excellent effect. Mr.. and
Mrs. Gransbery were both out of the
house when the fire started, but it
is supposed that it originated from
the explosion of some roofing paint
that was sitting near the stove. For
tunately sufficient help was on hand
to save all OF the furniture, but the
dwelling was damaged to the extent
of about 500 or over, upon which
there was no insurance, and Mr.. G.
being hard working man, of course
the loss falls quite heavily upon him
Both himself and wife wish
through the columns of the Times tc
extend their thanks to neighbors and
friends who so ably assisted them il
extinguishing the flames and saving
their furniture from the burning
building.

the first of the week from DR.. G. d.
Evans, of Chicago, who is out on his
periodical inspection of his property
interests on the tract. Mr.. Evans
was among the first on the tract to
venture into the orchard proposition,
and selected land south of Wendell
for that purpose, and as a result he
has one of the best apple orchards on
the tract, and informs us that he VIII
gather several hundred boxes OF fruit
from this orchard this year, and OF
an exceedingly fine quality. Like the
rest of us, Mr.. Evans has experienced
the ups and downs of the tract, but
states that he feels more encouraged
than ever this year, as he sees the
tract progressing and the farmers ac
cumulating small herds of stock, an'
apparently prospecting. 1t Is indee'

been here for the past few years, and
it was hard for him to imagine the
great development that had been
done here since his last visit. He was
driven over the tract and shown
some of the fine farms and the herds
of dairy cattle and other stock, ant

that the North Side had the creates
prospects along agricultural an'

APPLETON HIGHWAY BONDS
PRACTICALLY ASSURED

1t is now certain that an election
will be called on the issue within a
month, and judging from the way
the residents of the district are lin

majority in favor of good roads.
At the last meeting of the Apple

Several automobiles from jerome
have been donated for today to car

of the surrounding highway districts
that have issued bonds; with the
idea Of ascertaining the methods of
construction, cost per mile, etc, OF
their roads, and also to find out how
well pleased their residents are with
the plan.
The plans of the delegation are to
start out early Thursday morning
and motor to Bliss, where the Bliss
highway district roads will be in
spected Then back to Gooding for
dinner From Gooding the party
will go TO Shoshone and home by
way of Jerome.
On next Monday night there will
be big mass meeting at the school
house, where it is very urgent that
every voter of the district, including
the ladies, be present. Refreshments
will be served, and there will be able
speakers from outside the distric
to address the meeting and clear W
any questions of doubt on the par
of any of the voters.

After being in possession of the
reports from various fields of oats
on the tract, with average yields of
from 20 to 100 bushels to the acre
it is interesting to pick up a paper
published in a central Ohio town in
which the statement is made that
the biggest yield of oats in that sec
ton reported this year is 40 bush
els to the acre. The Ohio paper
speaks of this yield as something
wonderful and goes into great detail
that the reader may not fail to be
convinced of the fact that 40 bush
