BUHL OPERA HOUSE
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Several Buildings on Main Street
Are Wholly Consumed
MORE THAN $4,000 LOSS IN BLAZE
FROM UNKNOWN CAUSE.
Dance Was Held Saturday Night And
Several Thought They Smelied
Smoke Before Leaving.

Bursting forth suddenly from the
Buhl opera house on Main street with
an explosive force that threw flames
hign into the air and sent firebrands
floating nearly mile into the coun-
try cOnflagration from an unknown
cause destroyed that edifice and three
adjoining buildings and threatened the
existance of the entire westend city,
about o'clock Sunday morning, caus
ing a loss of more than $4,000, part
ly covered with insurance
There was a dance in the opera
house Saturday night. which continued
until after midnight, and when the
proprietor, Thomas Clinton, locked up
he examined everything and pronounc-
ed it safe. His little boy, however,
shortly before the end of the dance,
told his mother that he smelled
smoke, and again at the time that the
place was locked up insisted that he
smelled it. However, as he is but a
child, his parents thought that he had
reference to smoke from cigarettes
smoked outside the building and paid
no further attention. A short time
before the close of the dance, B. H.
Tyler said to friend, Il smell wool
burning, l bet one of the boys has
been trying to smoke inside against
the rules and stuck a lighted cigarette
into his pocket for fear that Clinton
would see him" From these facts Mr.
Clinton thinks that someone slipped
behind the scenery with a cigarette
and threw it down when through with
it, without extinguishing it. and that
the fire caught and smoldered and
gradually gathered heat until it broke
out After the dance was over for
some time, Night Marshall Tom Nor
ris went to the opera house and ex-
amined it, finding it apparently all
right About 3 o'clock he saw a light
in one of the upper rear windows and
went up. Just as he arrived, the
whole roof seemed to lift or puff up,
and the flames shot up all over it,
throwing up a vast column of smoke.
The theory is that the fire crept up
between the ceiling and roof and
smoldered until gas enough was gen

HYDRANTS FLUSHED

Stale Water and DeCdyOd Fish
Are Washed Out
SUGGESTION OF THE TIMEs
PROVES WHOLLY SUCCESSFUL.
Reservoir Has Been Cleaned ami New

stalled by the City.

1--WE have the purest water now that
we have ever had in the history of the
city since the filter clogged up after it
was first put in" said Chief Carlson
Of the fire department after he had
finished flushing the hydrants Sunday
morning That the flushing process,
suggested by THE TIMES has proven
successful and that the dead water
and the dead fish have been elimin-
ated from the pipes as a result of its
application is attested by everybody
using the city system The flushing
took three hours and every hydrant
was opened, five being running at one
time, and so thoroughly was the work
done that although the water from
the reservoir was on in full, one hy-
drant stopped running on account of
the flow from the others.
1--WE could see the fresh water when
it came from the reservoir and took
the place of the other" continued
Chief Carlson, "as it was clear and ap-
peared pure and good I suppose that
we could get a better water supply
than we have, but under the new COL
ditiOn the water is so much better
than it was that we will have to get
along with it until better water is Sc
cured We ought to have a good sup
ply for the rest Of the year, as the
heavy irrigating is over, and the wa
ter will be clear Then the reservoir
has been thoroughly cleaned and good
screens put in, so that no more fish
can get into it. The water was in
worse condition lately than it ever
was before, which is natural. since the
reservoir was never cleaned since it
was first erected and the longer it
went uncleaned the worse it go. The
filter never was effective I put it in
for Horne e. Ramsey and it was as
good a filter for its size as any in
the big cities. but it was not big
enough. 1t ran for two days and then
clogged up. The only way that it
could be cleaned was to back up the
water and lift out the dirt and then
let it run again, carrying the muck
and dirt all through it, running it.
Since that time it has done very little
good l think that we will have no
trouble with the water this year"
Water Commissioner w. F. Porter
! las been at work for some time clean
ing the reservoir. He recommended
the installation of pipe for direct use
while the cleaning was going on, and
then put a force of men at work to
clean it out and to install new screens
to keep out fish and coarse debris
This work is now completed and the
water turned back into the clean res

A Red Cross organization was form

the immediate purpose OF rendering
assistance TO Company D, of the Ida
no National Guard, and with a view of
maintaining a society here for all use
tul purposes after the return OF the
boys from the front The following Of
tlcers were elected: Mrs. Kennedy
Packard, chairman Mrs. E. ]. Ostran-
der, vice chairman; Mrs c. H. Kren-
gel. secretary; Mrs. W. H. Dwight,
treasurer.
The purposes of the society are set
forth in the following statement by
one Of the members:
For years there has been no city of
any size in the United States which
has not had Red Cross society. Since
the horrors of the European war have
brought to public notice the need of
preparedness in the United States. and
especially since the mobilization of
the national guard at the border, many
cities and even small towns all over
the country, have formed Red Cross
auxiliaries. Up to the present time
Twin Falls has had no such orgAniza
ton, but last week a group of women
realizing an opportunity for patriotic
and humanitarian service, took the
initial steps toward forming a society

BUHL SOCIALISTS TO
HAVE TICKET IN FIELD
Dimmitt for Legislature, Littler for
Treasurer, Wood for Sheriff, Wise
for Prosecuting Attorney.

While candidates on the Democratic
and Republican tickets from the west
end are rather scarce, it is not so with
the Socialists, says the Buhl Pioneer
Candidates of this party are nominated
by referendum, and up to the present
time it is understood that A. A. Dina
mitt is one of the candidates for rep
resentative; E. A. Littler for treasurer,
M d. Wood for sheriff and Frank
Wise has his choice of either assessor
or prosecuting attorney. 1t is not
known whether any of these will ac-
cept or not, as the ticket will not be
filed until the primary election is held
The Socialists are claiming a big in
crease in numbers since the election
two years ago, some believing that the
vote will be nearly doubled.
