$4,000 Fire in Monkton.

An estimated property loss of $4,000
was caused by fire which destroyed the
kolin plant of Otis N. Williams about
four and one-half miles northwest of the
village of Monkton Monday night.
When the fire was discovered an hour
before midnight it had made such head
way that nothing could prevent the total
destruction of the plant.
There is insurance of $4,000. Fifteen
men are employed. The factory will be
rebuilt in the spring. The cause of the
fire is unknown.
The plant, which has been in sue
cessful operation for nearly two years,
dug out and shipped white clay for
which there is demand in the manufac-
ture of paper,

Those Yale university youths, sons OF
wealthy parents, who suddenly left col
lege and disappeared, only to be found in
a lumber camp of the Northwest, ought
to be left to work out their own destiny
as far as it is given to human beings to
work out their destiny. If they were
ready to forego the luxuries which the
parental wealth brought to them and
undergo the rigors of lumbe camp they
should be commended for their abnega-
ton and told to go to it. Too many of
the sons of the rich are willing to spend
their time in pampered ease.

Gold in the Arctic.

The forty miners brayed the hardships
of journeys across wild continent
around the Horn and over the Panama
route in order to reach the California
gold fields In more recent years the
chill of the Alaskan winter has not suf-
feed to cool the gold fever From time
immemoral men have risked their lives
against every peril in quest of the yell
low metal. Whowould undertake to say
that the Arctic continent will not be con-
quered by this search?
Christian Leden, Norwegian explorer
and ethnologist, has returned from the
far North with story, which. he had
from natives, of a ledge still further
within the frozen circle from which gold
drops off in chunks He himself saw
"a harpoon tipped with gold said to have
come from this lode And he heard OF an
Eskimo hunter who had hammered out
from it bullets that were literally worth
their weight in gold.
ii this lode exists the fact that it
would have taken Leden two years to
reach it from his furtherest point north
will not deter the gold hunter, who will
surely follow sooner or later in his foot
steps and press beyond There are adj
venturers in plenty who "would charge
hell with a bucket of water" much more
dare Arctic ice, to stake such a claim.
And Leden's story of Arctic petroleum
suggests that, as in other countries which
have been conquered for gold, the real
riches may be of another sort. Alaska's
shipments Of salmon are in some years
more valuable than her shipments of

SHELLEY'S SCRIBE
MAKES DENIAL

Joe Adams, the boosting editor of the
Shelley Pioneer, was in the city Tues
day and was very indignant, and really
seemed to be offended, at the report
published in this paper last week that
John Barleycorn took prominent part
in the late 4th of July celebration. He
declares he never saw more sober or
sane celebration in his life, and that
the 100 quarts of Sunnybrook captured
by the sheriff was cached in the north
ern border of the town and belonged to
Idaho Falls bootleggers. He is quite
sure that he never saw single Shelley
ite with 4th of July jag, miracle
that Shelley should be proud Of.
The three men whom one Of the dep
uty sheriffs saw dressed up and sleep
ing in the street possibly were not
drunk, and may not have been denizens
Of Joe Adams temperance town, but
they evidently did not carry their load
of Sunnybrook very far from where
they fell in the celebration. It is SO
long since the good Joseph has been un-
der the influence of the forbidden
it's effects when he sees it.
He says the bank is fOurishing un.
der the new management, and that the
community spirit has harmonized for
progress and prosperity, and that new
era of building and business activity
is apparent on every hand. Among the
many proposed structures is new bank,
which seems necessary to accommodate
its increasing and permanent business.
He also stated that the prospect for a
sugar factory by the independent sugat
company Of Salt Lake is very encour-
aging.

DEATH OF MARY ToLM1E-sTRoNa

Mary Tolmie- Strong, daughter of
Donald and Izabella Tolmie, was born

the hospital early Monday morning
Everything possible was done to relieve
her suffering, but to no avail, and death

she had always been energetic and am

her for nineteen years, and know that
her desire to do good unto others and
assist whenever opportunity called was
her disposition. Her untimely and sud.

daughters, mother, sisters and brothers,
and other relatives, nothing could cause
them greater sorrow or pain.

Senator L.. R. Thomas, of the law
firm of Thomas 4 Anderson, of Black
foot, was in the city Tuesday defending
the interests Of Chris Anderson and
wife. The contestant in the case was
Melvin Rushton, and he was represent

Blackfoot. The hearing was before G.

entries as to whether the land is desert
in character or not.
Senator Thomas says that Blackfoot
is going along at splendid rate; that
they are building a 100000 hotel, be-
sides doing a lot Of street paving; that
everybody has job, and that business
is good. In speaking of Idaho Falls,

NEW ROAD TO PARADISE.

This week the county commissioners
dedicated new road to the many set
tiers of Paradise Valley and vicinity,
who have long been anxious to get a
more convenient road to Blackfoot to
do their shopping. This productive val
ley is about forty miles distant from
this city, over the old Fort Hall road,
and long stretch of almost impossible
sand. The sandy obstruction has been
avoided by going through Louis Mess
lin s ranch, which makes the road not
only better, but much shorter.
The county pays Mr.. Messlin $400
for the right of way through his ranch,
half of which is to be paid by Rube
Dunn.

BLACKFooT VS.. PoCArELLo.

The most interesting and best game
of base ball this season took place at
the fair grounds Sunday, when Black
foot met the Pocatello team. Both
teams played exceedingly well, the
score being 3 to l in favor Of Black
foot. The Pocatello team won game
with Salt Lake City last week, SO in
winning this game Blackfoot is now VI
with the big teams.
The past several games played on
the Blackfoot diamond have been a
great injury, which can be remedied by
few more games like that of last
Sunday, when all cheerfully admitted
they got their money s. worth.
The game was fast from the start
but two errors being recorded, and thost
against Pocatello.
The Blackfoot battery was Keltus
and Sorenson. Hoolihan and Zeibertf
worked for Pocatello.
