Juliaetta Residence Burns

Fire was discovered in the resi-
dence of AL. Langdon, Ex-Post-
master of Juliaetta, at 4:45 Satur-
day morning. It seems that Mr..
Langdon had started a fire in the
kitchen range leaving the draughts
open so that the fire would be sure
to burn, while he proceeded to the
barn to feed his horses. At about
4:45 Mrs. Langdon, who was in her
room dressing, heard a cracking
noise and going to the kitchen
found the room ablaze. An alarm
was sent in but by the time fire
hose was on the scene the whole
house was in flames. After the
hose was attached to the hydrant il
was found that the water pressure
was not strong enough to be OF
much use. Practically everything
was destroyed excepting the piano
couch, and little bedding. Tht
loss is estimated at $500 and wa
partly covered by insurance.

Fire at Culdesac

Three blocks of Culdesac's busi-
ness section were laid waste Mon
day morning by disastrous fire
that ragged with fury for more than
three hours. A defective and in
adequate water supply permitted
the flames to spread, and when the
residents of the town finally put
the flames under control, which was
shortly after 10 o'clock it was
estimated that a loss of $35, 900
had been sustained, with insurance
to cover little more than half.
The fire broke out at 7:15 o'clock
in a lodging house conducted by
Mrs Margaret Smith, the cause
presumably being a defective fiue.
Famed by a light and veering wind
the fire spread both east and west
of the Smith building, which is
located on the north side of the
main thoroughfare, licking up the
frame structures like so much tin
der. The intense heat served to
make the buildings on the north
side of the street easy victims, and
with sparks and burning embers
flying through the air it was not
long before both sides of the street
were ablaze.

Forest Fires Threaten Waha

A call came from V.aha late last
Saturday night for fire fighters to
be sent from Lewiston to fight
forest fires raging on the top of the
mountain above the pleasure resort.
About SO men were used all day
Sunday in fighting the fire which
originated on what is known as the
"Flatiron" section east of the Lake
and where it steadily climbed
throughout the day, burning grass
and underground through the open
timber until at late hour Sunday
night it was beginning to eat into
heavy and valuable tracts Of timber
near the summit. No great dam
age had so far been done, but un-
less checked heavy damage will re-
suit in the heavier timber.

Might Have Been Serious

About $50 Sunday evening while
driving up main street, Frank
Mays car, driven by his hired man,
Mr.. Kunes, missed the bridge in
front of Elmer Becetol's residence
and plunged into the ditch. 1t
seems that the batteries played out
coming down the Leland grade and
the light went dim. They managed
to make it down the hill without
any trouble but while driving up
main street with another car COM
ing toward them, making it imposs-
ible to see the bridge on account Of
the strong light from the other
car, Mr.. Mays car missed the end
of the bridge. The right hind
wheel dropped about three feet,
leaving the left wheel hanging on
the bridge.
Had the ditch been a little deeper
the car would surely have turned
turtle causing serioue injury to the
occupants. Several men lifted or
the lower side and the car was easily
put on solid footing and driven intt
town on its own power. Fortu
nately it did not damage the car il
any way.

Moore Appeals Reflections

Frank l.. Moore, the prosecuting
attorney. has appealed in the case
Of every Latah county man examin-
ed for military service who was re-
jected on physical grounds. His
main contention in taking this ap-
peal is that the Latah county
exemption board erred in the ap-
pointment of a physician to make
the re-examination. This re-exam-
ination was made in each case by
DR.. D. F. Rae, appointed by the
local board. Attorney Moore con-
tends that this re-examining ply
sician should have been designated
by Governor Alexander and on this
contention he appeals the 63 cases
affected by the re-examination.
This includes every man turned
down as physically unfit. DR.. Rae
gave his services free and in good
faith. He feels that this action OF
the county attorney is based or
personal grounds and grows out Of
a spirit of spite. The members o1
the local board hold that the point
raised by Attorney Moore is purely
technical and should have M
weight.

War Fatalities Not so Great

To some whose sons or brothers
or friends are drafted for service
in the new National Army the sum-
mons to the colors may seem all
most like a sentence Of death. 1t is
nothing of the sort. Most of the
men who will go to war from
America will. if figures can be
trusted, come back, not only alive.
but in better physical condition
than they were in when they went.
OF course the risk these men will
run is greater in war than in times
of peace in ordinary civil life; but
it is not SO great as to cause des-
pondency.
Figures of the losses in war are
not easy to obtain. but they are
known with sufficient approach to
accuracy to enable some general
conclusion to be drawn. Babson's
Statistical Organization, which is
sues weekly reports for merchants,
bankers, and investors, has gather
ed statistics that should reassure
some whose hearts are now gripped
with fear. That organization
understands that about one hundred
and fifty men out of a thousand are
wounded and about sixty men out
Of every thousand are killed. This
is not high proportion. 1t il
we'll known that the mortality il
less now than at the beginning O.
the war.
One great cause for losses in war
of other times was disease. Thi
has been very greatly reduced
"Some claim" says the report from
Babson's Statistical Organization
that man at the front to-day i
less liable to disease than if a
home working in a city" The re
port refers to the improvement i
handling gas and other hideou
forms of attack, and says that "me
who are sensible and careful ca
we'll protect themselves agains
these things" The real danger t
men, of course, comes durin
charges. Wounds received at othe
times are, for the most part, 81
|, the arm and shoulder, which can b
easily healed. or in the skull. Th
skull wounds are naturally serious.
Except for the one or more days

DIDN'T Know who Hh Him.

In the Harlem court it was no easy

Just what had hit him, says the New

but for brace Of dark and indignant
eyes which flashed from the front OF
the medical, bundle and pair OF large
and dark ears protruding from either
side, he would have resembled care
fully nodded, bullet-shaped SNOWFALL.
Through a slight slit in the sanitary
headgear the negro explained that he
had been hit from IS directions while
at work in cafe. At the time he as
serted he was engaged in "scolding the
boss" about his small wages, the class
Of persons who came to the cafe and
the superiority Of the negro race over

Is that was .walloped at least 80 times.
