EXPLOSION In THE
REPUBLICAN OFFICE
Janitor Subdued Burning Gas
oIine Before Fire Gained
Much Headway.

Thursday morning when Sheridan
Evans, the janitor at The Republican
office, applied match to the heater
in the linotype there was an explosion
of gasoline that set fire to everything
combustible. Young Evans kept his
nerve and in the time that it takes
to press button he had the extin-
guisher at work. He came out winner
in a few moments and while there
was some wreckage laying around and
a linotype disabled, he made re-
markable stroke in subduing a gaso-
line fire that was. hot enough to melt
some of the type metal.
The Republican office is protected
with means of fighting fire in every
room Independent of the other rooms,
and each employee is expected to
know what is contained in the printed
instructions tackled on the wall, tell
ing what to do in case of fire.
]. H. Early, of the Idaho Irrigated
Lands company, had written the in
surance, and the money to cover the
loss was available within the hour,
An amusing incident of the fire was
that the copy (manuscript) on the
machine was in two punches, side by
side, and the dead COPY was reduced
to ashes and the live copy, the part
which had not been set, was saved.
The typesetting machine will be in
commission again in day or two

agent of the Blackfoop school in Sc
curing a memorial tablet OF the Bat

harbor. it was stripped of the brass,
copper and bronze and these metals
have been made in memorial tablets,
size 13 X Is inches, to ne placed with
cities and naval societies in the
United States where first applied for.
He explained that Mrs. Trego had
kept track of the matter and through
Representative Addison T. Smith had
secured the necessary application
papers by which the city officials
could obtain the tablet at a cost or
less than ten dollars delivered here,
and that the class of 1914 has money
in the bank ready to pay the cost of
installation if permitted as their gift
to the auditorium.
The council decided to act for
them and to forward the application
at once to the secretary of the navy.

gotiations for lighting the citp un-
der new arrangements, and he was

button of electrical energy within the
city and then sell them the current.
Cemetery Records
City Engineer James Young ex-

being complete in every respect and
very neat and durable.
County Clerk G.. H. Holbrook stat
ed that the commissioners had caus-
ed a warrant to be issued to the city
for delivery upon receipt of the deeds
for the cemetery lots allotted to
them.
Some Forgotten Business
Councilman Peck asked If there
was not fraction of an acre OF
ground on North University street
needing to be purchased of the state
to clear the title to the street. He
did not remember of ever getting the
deed for the city.
Everybody recalled something OF
the kind but nobody was sure. Sew
eral went to hunting in the records
and it finally developed that in 1911
by special enactment The Asylum
tract was placed on the market, and
the sale avs made in August. 1912

that he is their agent and servant
at Boise during the session of the
legislature, and wishes the people of
Bingham to feel free to apply to him

make known to him the things which
they would like him to do.
Mr.. Thomas accepted the present
position for the purpose of rendering

WILL BLACKFOOT
NJURE HERSELF
Blackfoot Banks Big Enough,
and Strong Enough to Pro-
tect Your Savings.

Every little while somebody comes
to town to transfer some money or
business from the unthinking AMI
take it to themselves or to some
other community, and the harm is
done before people give it enough
sober thought to understand the
game. Just now popular thing is
to give something by which people
receive or have a chance to receive
a free trip to the exposition. This
office turned down such a scheme
this week, bearing all the outward
signs of business-getter, but under
thoughtful study presenting the ear
marks of bunco game. At this time
there is banking scheme operating
that would be a disadvantage to the
town and to it's people if they re-
sponded to it.
A bunch of solicitors representing
a modestly equipped bank in neigh
boring town are canvassing the
community to find people who will
accept one ftheir little metal banks
free and put coin into it and keep
the bank themselves. After 20 days
an agent of the bank will return and
unlock the little bank, take out the
money, enter the deposit in the bank
book which he leaves with the new
customer and thus he or she be-
comes customer of that bank. Once
a customer they hope, of course, to
keep up their relations.
What thoughtful person knowing
Blackfoot to have two of the best
banks in the state, would start an
account with bank, however good,
in another town, Our own banks
are large, safe, elegantly equipped,
Offering every possible service to Gus
toners and the public generally, and
although they are conducted for the
purpose of making money as we'll
as rendering the service, yet they fur
nish every service rendered by any
other bank in the state and have
repeatedly demonstrated the sterling
worth and the advantages they are
to the city and county. In addition
to all these things, bank that pays
five thousands dollars taxes and large
sums to charity for local use, should
not be passed up for bank in some
other county with less to recommend
1t and which carries none of our local
burdens.
Each of the Blackfoot banks has
been advertising in this paper to
show o r readers that it has the par
t1cular service which this outside
bank is just now trying so hard to
Introduce among us, and we want
10 suggest to our readers that if they
Will go into either bank and ask
TO be shown the little steel banks
designed for the use in the savings
departments, they will exhibit as at
tractlve a proposition for saving
money and receiving interest on de-
posits as any outside bank will, and
an additional assurance lies in the
fact that they have been calling your
attention to 1t in the local papers for
months, Read the advertisements of
