TOWN OF GREER DESTROYED.

between the hours of and 10 o'clock
last Thursday night, every building on
both sides of the main street in the
town OF Greer, eight miles up the
Clearwater river from Orofino, was
completely destroyed by fire, the loss
being estimated at $4,000, with some-
thing like S3 per cent insurance.
The Orofino Tribune states that the
fire broke out in the livery barn own
ed by Ed Stencil and is believed to
have originated from spontaneous COM
bustion, as the barn had just been
filled with new hay. The flames broke
out In the hay NOW as If from explo-
sion, and with no possible chance to
subdue them the fire spread rapidly,
sweeping everything in its path, the
only buildings being left are the resi-
dences of Mr.. Erb and Mr.. Stencil,
the warehouses and depot Stencil
saved his horses. harness and vehicles
but lost over a thousand dollars worth
OF feed with the building.

Brice lost the Coontz hotel and all
contents, with no insurance. Some of
the occupants had scarcely time to es-

Matt Erb, manager of the firm. was
at Weippe when he was advised of
the fire and he made the run to Greer
In his auto, accompanied by his fam
lily, in 25 minutes, distance of IA
miles. Erb brothers have suffered
heavily within the last year from fire
and burglary, their store at Weippe
being destroyed by fire ,last winter and
little later the store at Greer was
robbed of several hundred dollars.
Greer has no fire protection and 1t
was therefore impossible to save any
thing after the fire broke out. A large
number of people gathered at Greer
from Orofino, Kamiah and around the
country to offer assistance but every
thing was destroyed before the prof
fered aid reached the stricken town.
i The postoffice building was burned, but
the first class mail was taken over the

WINS CONTEST.

Notice has been received from Wash
ington that the contest of VIM. Graham
against Glen F. Inglish involving land
in the vicinity of Joseph has been de-
cided by the secretary of the interior
in favor of Graham, affirming the pre-
vious decisions of the commissioner and
of the Register of the Lewiston office
This contest was brought in the spring
of 1914 on the ground that Inglish had
never established a residence on the
land in good faith, and it was shown
that he had only made pretense of
living on the land, and only had tent
erected, but he claimed he had COM
menced to build a house and was stay
ing there when the contest was in
itiated. The holding is that he had
failed to show any good faith. A. s.
Hardy represented Mr.. Graham as at
torney upon these proceedings.

Warship Parade.
An event heightened by the Euro
pean war excitement was the pa
rade of the north Atlantic feet of
United States naval vessels In the
Hudson river and their review by
President Wilson at a time when the
tension of this country's relations with
Germany was strained to point
where it was thought hazardous for
the executive to leave the capital.
The ships, numbering sixty-seven, were
In the Hudson for ten days, where
throngs viewed them at anchor or Wis
tied on board. On May 10 the feet
passed out to sea after review by the
president and Secretary of the Navy
Daniels.
Originally it had been planned to-
have a naval gathering on the Pacific
coast to pass through the Panama ca
nal, led by vessel having the presi:
dent on board. The war developments
led to the abandonment of that In
teresting feature of celebration of tn.
completion of the waterway across the
isthmus.
Submarine Warfare. "
In February Germany extended the
war zone to include the English chan
mel and, in reprisal for British block
ade of neutral ports to shut out sup
plies from the enemy, began to sink
ships sailing under enemy flags on the
routes Of commerce between the cont.
nents. Warning was given that neu-
trail passengers upon enemy owned ves-
sells were in danger. Following upon
tho sinking Of merchant vessels having
citizens Of the United States on board
and with the loss of American lives
the ocean liner Lusitania, from New
York for Liverpool. was torpedoed OF,
the coast Of Ireland. About 100 citi-..
zens Of this country went down. i
The state department took the case.

tween the United States and Germany,

friendly" AZ a result of the attitude

. Our Neutrality Assaulted.
Early In the war charges were made
In tho interest Of Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary that Partially was be-
Ing shown to the allies, and in January
the United States government categor-
ically denied twenty specific charges Of
discrimination against Germany and
Austria In international situations ere.
ated by the war.
Among the early activities Of leu
tonic partisans was the case Of dyna-
hitting q bridge on the Canadian bor-
der. On Feb. 2 a German named Wer-
ner Won Horn made an unsuccessful
attempt to blow up with dynamite the
bridge across the St. Croix river, con-
Meeting the Canadian Pacific and
Maine Central railroads.
Another partisan outbreak was the
attempt Of German professor named
Holt to assassinate J. p. Morgan, the
banker, who was accused Of aiding the
allies. Holt killed himself.
The activities Of officials Of the Ger

Mexico Pacifisd7
In January so called convention
government was set up in Mexico an
tagonistic to the Constitutional party,
Of which General Carranza was chief.
In June President Wilson warned the
factions In Mexico to make peace. Fol-
lowing that, the A. B. G. powers, which
had before acted with this country in
efforts to bring about peace in Mexico,
held conference, and it was finally
decided to recognize Carranza as the
head of the de facto government of
Mexico. This was accomplished in
october. Meanwhile a revolution in
Haiti led this government to inter-
fere for the protection of United States
interests. Troops were landed, and
lighting took place. Also on tho Mex
lean border many collisions have &C.
Cured between United States troops
and Mexicans Of different factions.
- Various Events.
at the close of the summer outinp
season It was announced that Presi-
dent Wilson was affianced to Mrs.
Edith B. Gait Of Washington. After
some weeks an ardent public curiosity
and desire to know the time and place
OF the nuptials were appeased by the
news that 1t would take place in Wash
ington on the 18th of December.
Outside Of the war zone in Europe
there have been few steamship disas
tiers attended with heavy loss of life.
One OF the saddest for many years
was the overturning of the excursion
steamer Eastland in the Chicago river
on July "a, with the loss of 9S1 lives.
Recently wireless telephon1ng. has
been accomplished between Arlington.
va, and Paris, San Francisco and
Honolulu. Explorer Stefansson was
heard from after silence Of seventeen
months. The European war brought
to the fore the question of adequate
national defense, and the result Of
