situation materially and it is now drier
than ever. New fires have been re.
ported on the Flathead and Blackfeet
Forests. The Southern Forests in Idaho
are extremely dry and electrical storms
would cause much damage. Five fires,
varying from 1000 to $500 acres in ex-
tent, are now burning on the Selway
Forest, in this region.
Fires for the period August lilo, have
not been over 200, as compared with 4SU
for the same period in 1914, and of the
200, about 40 were Glass G fires, which
means over 10 acres in extent. The cost
of handling these fires during the ten
days ending Aug. 10, $4,000 as against
$4,000 for the previous ten day period,
was much less than was anticipated
early in the month.
Through a period of drouth fully as
long as those of 1910 and 1914, much
smaller number of fires have occurred,
due to the absence this year of electrical
storms, always a prolific cause of fires.
and of those started, owing to the great
er efficiency of the organization which
has been gradually built up, a much
lnrger number have been brought under
control in their incipiency, notwith.
standing the fact that during the past
two weeks there have been several

RESOLUTION.

Whereas the citizens of Grangeville
have been sorely shocked at the untime.
ly death of John Nevin, the young Mer.
chant Prince of our neighboring town Of
Whitebird, and
Whereas; the people of our community
wish to extend to the family and rela.
tives the sincere sympathy of the citi.
zens of Grangeville and which can best
be done perhaps through this commercial
organization, which voices the sentiment
of the business, industrial and fraterna,
classes of our people, and
Whereas; the Commercial Club has SO
often had such hearty support and the
wise counsel of John Nevin, and his
active cooperation in enterprises for
the whole county, having as club
rarely asked for support that was not
freely given, when the same was for the
|upbuilding of the county and particularly
the Salmon river section; having given
his time, ability and money for any
cause that was for the growth and pros.
perity of his county and welfare of bis
fellow man, and
Whereas, we esteemed his sterling
virtues while. he sojourned among us;
having fonnd him an indefatigable
worker, a reliable, conservative citizen
and we now sincerely mourn his loss.
Therefore be it resolved: That the
heartfelt sympathy of the Grangeville
Commercial Club be extended to the
widow of the deceased and immediate
family and relatives.
! Resolved, that this resolution be
copied in the minutes of the club, one
copy be sent to the family, and copy
be printed in our local press.

IMPROVEMENT ON AIR BRAKE.
Automatic Device For Coupling r. R.
Cars Makes Good.

Day before yesterday young man
got off the train at the depot and piled
Off heap of gas pipes, steel springs
and brass fixtures on the platform. To
casual questioner he answered that
he had an air brake and telephone.
After he explained little he made it
clear that he had new device for
coupling thes air system on the railroad
ears, an automatic coupler for the air
brakes. The telephone part comes in on
electrical connection by which the en-
gineer can get bell signal when the air
brakes are all connected
The inventor worked all day yester-
day getting his device connected up to
some freight cars on the tracks and
when the train pulled in yesterday even
ing the engine hooked onto the freight
ears and gave the device trial. And
it worked; crowd of trainmen who wit
messed the trial including engineers,
firemen, conductors, brakemen and
switchmen pronounced it an unqualified
success.
There have been hundreds of patents
to cover the problem of connecting
the air without compelling the brakeman
to step in between the moving cars
Fully thousand men are killed or
crippled yearly in the United States
from coupling the air. But no automa-
tic device has ever worked successfully
The patent tried out for the first time
on the local tracks yesterday appears to
be perfect and is as simple and mex
pensive as possible. If the railroad com
panies take it up it win undoubtedly
be as great an Improvement over the
present air brake system as the automa-
tie coupler was over the old hand
coupler.
The inventor is Victor Jones, a young
man who came here the first of this year
and purchased ranch in the Reuter-
vile section. He lived formerly at Con.
rad, Montana and names his nome,
Sunnyside, Washington. He started
work on his invention about four
months ago and obtained his patent a
short time ago. He tells an interesting
story of his troubles in getting patent.
He sent his drawings and model into the
patent office and the officials there were
Immediately interested and asked him
to come to Washington to explain the
device. He Immediately set out but
found himself in the capitol city minus
his>p pocket book which he had lost on
the way. II contained three travellers
checks for $50 each and $50 dollars ID
cash. He satisfied the patent office
about his invention and offered to pay
the fee by personal check. although he
had no money in the bank The officials
however were willing to trust the man
who could invent such clever device
and Mr.. Jones rushed back to Idaho
and put the monevtin the bank before
the check turned up for payment.
He then set to work I'd get his inven-
tion before the attention of the railroad
officials and the general manager at
Lewiston gave him permission to try ii
out on this line. The trial here last
night was preliminary trial and Mr..
Jones viii demonstrate to the officials
at Lewiston after making a few final

RETURNED FROM BOISE
Mrs. Fred White Attends Meeting OF
Board of Equalization

Deputy assessor, Mrs Fred White and
her mother returned from Boise Tues
day evening where they went to see
their son and brother, Don G. Fisher
and whre Mrs. White attended meet
ing of the state board of equalization.
This is gathering Of county assessors
who meet at the state capital to reg
ulate the assessed valuation of prop
cry controlled by the commonwealth,
According to Mrs. White the only
change that effects this county is an in
crease in assessed valuation on sheep
and a lowering of that ON work horses.
AS this is quite sheep county it will
mean a considerable extra taxes for the
owner of the woody animals to pay. But
then on the other hand sheep is more
valuable than ever before and is is no
doubt the reason why the increase in
valuation was made. What the percen.
tage of increase is this paper has been
unable to learn as Mrs. White left Boise
before the matter was entirely threshed
out.
Mrs. White accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. l.. G. Fisher went to Boise
with the double purpose of seeing her
brother, Don C. Fisher who is member
of Company E, Second Idaho Infantry
and to attend the meeting the the
equalization board The ladies found
Don in fine condition and excellent
spirits as were the other lads from this
section =rr -
They expect to be moved to some
other point at an early date but to which
place and at what time, they are not
permitted to know.
