AN OLD LANDMARK
DESTROYED BY fire
The Bay Wow Hotel Building
Burned Down Early Last
Monday Morning.

Our citizens were awakened by the
fire alarm on Monday morning at
three o'clock to find the old Bay
View Hotel building in flames. The
fire apparatus was brought into play
and the fire was confined to that
building, although before the stream
form the fire hose was brought into
action it looked as if the hospital,
which was but few feet away, was
doomed and only the energetic work
of bucket brigade with blankets
on the roof and walls of the hospi-
tai kept that building from catch
ing fire before the streams from the
fire engine were available.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
A cigar factory was operated by
Geo. Brisson on the second floor, the
rest Of the building being vacant,
and he had left the building in the
evening about ten o'clock, having
done a little work there. While
sleeping at the dock he was awaken
ed by his dog who sensed danger and
getting up to put the dog out in
another room, he saw the flames
coming out of the windows of the
building.
The destruction of the building,
which was one of the first construc-
ted in our village, has brought out
some interesting facts regarding our
real pioneer days. The building was
constructed about 1880 by Henry
Mayhew. Among those who assisted
in the work were Fred Jackson, John
Drouillard and Sam Howenstine.
The first school in the county was
held in the front room of the build
ing, the teacher being Mr.. Ben Will
bur. Among those who attended
school there were Jas. G. Scott, Mrs.
Louis Engelson, Mrs. Fred Bramer,
and Benjamin Scott. The school
district at that time comprised the
whole county and the directors of
the district we're A. J. Scott, Henry
Mayhew and Joseph Mayhem.

A Disappointed Chi ~

~rtO0" VI" oy'
The Brentwood vicinity was start
led Friday when the news came that
one of their most prominent young
bachelors of this vicinity was to ar
rive Sunday night with a bride.
They arrived in Hovland Sunday
night and were conveyed to the
Brentwood vicinity by auto Monday
stopping at his sisters. Mrs. R.
Smith, an enjoyable day was spent,
when after supper the bridal pair
stepped out into a summer house to
enjoy few minutes quietness when
by chance they saw a mysterious
party marching along the road in
single file laden with noisy instru-
ments. The bride not being accus-
toned to such music became fright
ened and asked her husband if they
could be soldiers that crossed the
line from Canada, he assured her
that there was no danger and being
interested stepped out under the
o1lduc VI CIle lOfeSt trees OF maple
and birch in the nature beauties of
the North Shore scenery, as they sat
thus, wrapped in their furs of COM
fort behold they saw coming back
the same mysterious party fling
back down the road and they had
in their midst three female captives
| it was then the bride was more sure
| that they were soldiers but as they
heard their names mentioned it was
then, and then only, that they were
the party in quest.
The writer is in sympathy with
these wanderers and being person
ally acquainted with the groom
would like to say that under no
consideration would the groom have
disappointed this mysterious party
if they had known their intention.

Comments FROM SCHROEDER

Mr.. Redmyer has built passway
over Cross River little below the
old bridge, which was destroyed
with axe and fire during the night
of the 4th Of July by crew of
neighbors, as described before in
this paper.
The shed erected for the shelter
of the tools of the Town of Schroe-
der is still lying in sad condition
on the ground torn down and moved
to it's new site beside the auto road
on Ely Smiths land. All the ma
chimes and tools belonging to the
town are like the shed in a pitiful
sight, exposed to rain and all sorts
of weather and temperatures. Rust
and water in the pores and crevices
of the poor tools will combine to
bring them to an early destruction
and every honest passerby views
with sorrow the negligence with
which the peoples belongings (and
money! are treated. The energies
wasted on the unnecessary devasta-
tion of Cross River bridge would
have erected the toolshed. The world
is full of fun.
Schroeder town now boasts to be
in line with the wonderful time in
which we live. The automobile has
received home. even with one of
our citizens. Mr.. w. C. Smith being
in possession of no less than two of
them.
BY the way is it not a remarkable
thing for US old-timers to witness
the new era which the opening of
the highway has brought to us? The
other day when we were bouncing
homeward from trip to the post
office for instance tit was in the
dusk and the sun had already set)
a fire was seen blazing in the dis
tance. Frightened at the thought
| of possible forest fire of the old
type, we hastened our steps only to
find a cosy camp fire by the road
| side, in front of it big touring
car, and encircling it a party of city
dwellers playing Indians. Our heart
swelled with joy at this sight and
we realized in full the advantage
brought us by the new road, that
has made US one with the rest of the
world and delivered US from the iso-
lation in which we heretofore were
shut up by the boundless unbroken
forest on one side and the vast wa
ters of Lake Superior on the other.
Who is this Mr.. Mccullough who
comes here in his auto and announ~
ces his wish to become our repre-
sentative in the legislature? He
makes no explanation what he in
tends to do or work for, neither or
ally or in our local paper. And who
is his opponent, if one there is?
Is it not about time for Cook
county to install one Of it's wn sons
among the lawmakers? Have we not
| among US some one who can say
with one of the Scandinavian forefa-
theirs: From under this cloak a
king could perhaps also be shaken

represented in our legislative bodies
than they are, and so should the
pliers of the trades, could we not
send Mr.. Hans Engelsen? If only the

lYCEuM COURSE CON-
SIDERED BY LOCAL. SCHOOL


Supt. M. R. Beebe is considering
signing up with a Lyceum bureau for
series of five high class entertain
ments to be given at the school
house during the course of the win
ter. The course will consist of a va
riety as is usually offered in such
contracts and will include quartet;
bell ringers, vocal and instrumental
music, a humorist, and other high
class entertainment. This commun-
ity has heretofore not had the op-
portunity Of having such a course
and we believe it would be we'll re-
ceived by the people of the COM
munity. 1t is now the practice of
most villages of this size and larger
to give such a course once a year
and it is very seldom that the enter
tainments sent out by a responsible
Lyceum Bureau fail to please the
public.
If the contract for the entertain
ments is accepted, season tickets for
the series will be sold, making the
cost of each number very small to
those buying tickets for the entire
season. Supt. Beebe will take the
matter up with some of our citizens
and if the plan is we'll received, he
will sign up for the series. The pro-
fits from the entertainments, if
there are any, will be used for the
purpose Of buying school appara-

BRUN[AU PROJECT
Close to Million Dollars to
Be Spent in Irrigation
Work.

Work on tho wickahoney, or old
Bruneau irrigation project, is to start
as quickly as the weather will permit
this spring. This was the assurance
given Governor Alexander by David
Miller, of Kansas City. who will make
Boise his headquarters while the work
is in progress. Mr.. Miller il president
of the Wickahoney Land & Water
company. He announces q survey of
the proposed ditch has been made after
expanding $4,000 for preliminaries. A
total Of close to 100000 will be spent
putting the irrigation works in for
this project
The contract this company accepted
from the state land board is one of
the most rigid in its terms that has
ever been entered into for an irriga-
ton project In the history OF the state
The entire project must be completed
and water ready for delivery before
the project IL thrown open to entry.
This is a decidedly new departure from
the history of some Of the older prof.
ects in Idaho.
President Miller informed Governor
Alexander that It Is no trouble to sell
securities in the east at the present
time which the chief executive of this
state declares Is the most gratifying
news he has heard for some time. He
has ask ed the governor to go over the
project with him later and the states
chief executive said that he would take
advantage Of the invitation later.
