FROM $235O TO
$4,000 CAPITAL
Negperce -Rochdale Co. Makes q
Wonderful Growth in Six
Years.-stcck Meeting.

The eemi-annual meeting of the
stockholders OF the Nexperce-
R0ehdale company was held At
the Fraternal hall in this city
Monday afternoon, with some so
Of the l40 shareholders in attend
ance, and a preponderance Of the
stock represented.
The spirit Of the meeting was
enthusiastic, and this feeling was
augmented by the reading Of the
Semi-nnnual report Of the busi-
ness Of the powerful institution.
This report disclosed a very fine
increase al along the line.
The company was organized IN
the spring Of 1903 with AZ mem-
bcrs aud paid up capital Of 50
$50 II now has 40 stockholders
and q paid capital Of $32. 600. In
1915 It made an increase Of $e4s
600 over the previous years bus
mess. During the past six months
il has put in improvements and
additions 10 buildings costing ov-
er $1,000, which additions were
necessary to handle the bumper
crop Of last season, Of which this
company handled $4,000 tons
Other articles handled by the
company during the past six
months were 50 cars Of hogs. 20
cars of coal and several ears Of
sugar, salt and flour.
at Mondays meeting, the ques-
ton OF handling grain in bulk
was threshed out pretty thor
oughly, with the result that prep
arafions will be started in due
time to take care Of a large per
cent Of the coming crop IN bulk.
This means considerable structnr-
al work and extensive machinery
additions. The fact that grain
bags are now about ~ cents q
piece, with an upward tendency,
makes the bulk handling Of grain
more a matter Of necessity than
of choice. and once this more &C.
onomical system is adopted, il
will be good bye forever TO the
sacks with all their botherafion.

Water Plug Blows ous-Nezperce
Dry.

A water plug in the old stand
pipe nj the east end of the Lewis
ton. Nczpcrce & Eastern railroad
yards at this place, gave way
Tuesday night as a result Of the
continued bclow-zero weather and
before the break was discovered,
the large reservoir and all the
mains. except at the lowest points
in the business section, had been
drained. Early yesterday morn
ing the accident was discovered
and Supt. Scholer had the dam
age repaired as quickly as possi-
bic and started the pumps TO re-
plcnish the supply. About 4 p.
m. water was again available all
over town.
The joke OF the mishap was
that everyone in town thought
their water was frozen up and
they used what water they had
on hand trying to thaw out the
pipes.

TO the Farmers of Idahos
A meeting different from any
ever before held in this state is
hereby called for February IA, Is
and Is. to be held in the hall Of
Representatives Of the state cap
ifol. II is to be q meeting not on
~ for farmers, but by farmers.
There win be no cut and dried
program. While there win be
some addresses prepared in adj
vance, the plan is primarily for
an informal exchange Of ideas
The conference is not intended
to be merely inspirational or ed
ucational. Such things are valu-
able, but have their place in farm
ers Institutes. livestock and hor.
ticultural conventions, etc. Our
endeavor in this meeting viii be
10 get down 10 "brnss taeks, =
and If possible start IN motion
some definite, practical plans for
the working out of those market
ing problems as can only be
solved by united action.

all these organizations, IN order
20 secure some Capitalization Of
information, action and power. II
Is hoped that through this confer
cree we may be able TO effect
some sort Of federation of all
farmers organizations and farm
ing interests on such matters as
all can unite on; but through
which none Of the organizations
need IN any way sacrifice their
identity. Take, for instance, the
matter of farm legislation; there
are certain matters of legislation
on which all farmers organiza-
tions can agree, in an entirely
non partisan manner, but which
they cannot hope 70 secure until
they get together in some sort Of
q federation and pull together.
Representatives Of the govern
menf office Of markets and the
Federal Trade commission plan
10 attend this state conference
and help us work out 3 solution
OF our commercial problems
While the heads OF the various
farmers organizations have been
invited 10 present the formal ad-
dresses on the program, please
bear IN mind that the greater
part of the conference win be
taken up with informal discus
cussion, and whether you are
member Of any farmers organi-
xation or not. you are invited and
urged to attend this first state
wide conference of actual farm
ers
Among the subjects TO be con-
sidered at this meeting viii be-
A better system Of fruit mar
keting.
The live stock market situation.
Cooperative packing plants.
The grain situation.
Farmers elevators and flour
mills.
Farmers stores
Crop and market reports
Rural credits and other leg
islative needs of the farmer.
Potatoes, dairying and other
matters.
The day sessions viii be con-
fined strictly to business. while
the evenings viii be given over to
entertainment. This is an oppor-
tunity for you to combine busi-
ness and pleasuregive yourself
a vacation-and bring your wife
along
The conference is being called
by the State Department Of Farm
Markets, and any correspondence
concerning the meeting should be
addressed to this office. Sugges-
tions and inquiries are invited.

DESTROYS FINE
NEZPERCE RESIDENCE
The $500 Home Of Ernst wienss
Total Loss, Result Bursted
Water Main.

At 900 a. m. yesterday, just
after the information became gen
eral about town that the city wa
ter supply was off on account Of
plug blowing out AZ the railroad
alarm of fire was sounded and all
eyes were soon focused on the
handsome home of Mr. and Mrs
Ernst Wienss, from the roof Of
which smoke was oozing In a
short time a crowd, eager 10 save
the property, was assembled, and
vainly all sought means Of ex-
tinguishing the flames which we're
located in the attic over the kiteh-
en-
No water was available and af-
ter the principal contents OF only
the lower story had been re-
moved 70 a place OF safety, the
crowd could but stand impotently
by and see one Of the finest homes
in Nezperce reduced 10 ashes
The origin of the fire is con-
iectural, but Il probably followed
ain attempt by Mr.. Wienss 10 thaw
the water pipes supplying his res
idencc. Which came aboGt IN
this way
Some time during Tuesday
night the plug, on account Of
freezing, blew out Of the railroad
stand-pipe at near the lowest
point OF the city water system
and BY morning the reservoir and
most Of the water mains were
drained.
On arising, many of the resi-
denfs-unappraised of the acci-
dent that had happened TO the wa
ter and getting no results when
they opened the faucets in their
homes-presumed the pipes sup
plying them had been frozen as
q consequence of the extremely
cold weather proceeded to make
thawing applications. Those hay-
ing hot water, used that, while
others used rags saturated with
oil. or newspapers or what means
was at hand.
Mr.. Wienss had attempted 10
thaw the pipe beneath his house
with q burning rag, but not get
ting water, had carefully put out
his torch, and it was some time
later that his wife heard roaring
noise in the attic over the kitchen
and on investigation discovered
the place was on fire, and gave
the alarm.
The residence was that recent
ly purchased from ] H. Mockler
and extensively remodeled and
modcrnized at an outlay Of So
500, and was probably the most
expensive and up-to-date home on
the prairie. Its destruction is
not only a great loss TO the own
ers, but also to our city. IL rep
resented cost of $500.
The insurance carried on the
house was $4,000. with a like
amount on the contents. On the
latter heavy loss win also be sus-
tanned, as much Of the most val
liable effects Of the family were
I'm the upper story
A fortunate circumstance ~
connection with The fire was that
very little air was stirring and
the flames were not communicate
ed to other property IN the event
of which quite as little could
have been done to save II as was
done ia this case, whore bucket
OF water at the right time would
have prevented the loss.

BRITISH SHIP SUNK
IN HAMPTON ROADS
The City of Norfolk Rams the Hawk
head i'll Heavy Fog-All Aboard
Were Rescued.

NORFOLK, Va, Oct. THE Brit
lsh steamer Hawkhead, at anchor in
Hampton Roads, off Sewall's Point
was run down and sunk about clock
last night by the Chesapeake Steam
ship company's Bay Line steamer City
OF Norfolk, outward bound from this
port for Baltimore with passengers. The
City Of Norfolk was badly damaged
about the bow, but there was no loss
Of life SO far as is known The col
llslon occurred in a heavy fog.
Captain Hand and the crew of the
Hawkhead were taken off by small
boats lowered by the City of Norfolk,
the river steamer Pocahontas, and
other craft which were passing. Fiji
teen minutes after being struck the
British ship had settled on the bottom
in 30 feet of water.
Most of the passengers on the City
OF Norfolk, who numbered nearly 100.
were at dinner when the crash occur
fed' there was great excitement for
few minutes, but the officers soon re-
stored order The Pocahontas went
alongside the City of Norfolk and the
passengers We're transferred to the riv-
er craft, but they remained there only
a short time, being but aboard a bav
liner of the Baltimore Steam Packet
| company, which took most of them on
to Baltimore. About 10 of the mass
engers elected to return to Norfolk.
Although the City of Norfolk s bow
was carried away for ten feet. the col
hslon bulkheads held and she turned
about and steamed slowly back to this
port, being assisted by tugs. She will
have to 90 to ship yard for docking
and repairs.
The City of Norfolk was proceeding
| to Old Point Comfort at a slow rate
because of the fog, but in spite of thi.
: Fact she struck the Hawkhead wifi
great force, tearing big hole in hel
side near the stern. The British sbir
| filled quickly and went down bv the
stern. The Hawkhcad was anchored of
| the Sewall s Point pier Of the Virgin
| ian railroad, awaiting a berth there
She arrived October from Savannah
The captains of the vessels could not
discuss the collision further than t.
say that the roads was enveloped in ,
heavy blanket of fog.
