BAKER R. R. SHOPS
While Home Guard Patrols
Lumber Yard, Machine
Shops Burned.

BAKER. Ore, April S0.--whils
members of the Home Guard were
patrolling the plant of the White
Fine Lumber Company here last night
fire destroyed the machine shops OF
the Sumpter Valley Railroad. ThS
loss is estimated at $4,000.
The yard and mill of the Oregon
Lumber Company adjoining the ma
chine shops was saved.
The guard was thrown about the
White Pine company's plant after a
letter had been received by Manager
Frank GARDINER informing him that
the plant would be touched Off be-
fore May 1. It is believed the fire
bugs set the machine shops afire by
mistake. as they are adjacent to the
Oregon Lumber Company mill, which
it may have been intended to destroy.
Among the losses to the railroad
company was brand new locomotive
valued at $4,000.
The Home Guard Saturday night
began patrolling the lumber district
following advices that threats of de-
struction had been made. Two men
were traced to a lodging house, but
left before the officers arrived to take
them into custody as suspects. South
Baker tonight is being closely watch

WEISER, Idaho. April 3O.-Sever-
al prominent men in Welser paid $40
a gallon for pure Snake river water

his newly made friends that he had 20
gallons of extra good whisky hidden
near Weiser.
After dark the party drove out to
the cache. The stranger opened each
cask, inserted a small rubber tube
and drew out a small quantity of eN-
ira good whisky from each cask. Aft
er sampling the party was satisfied
and paid over $40.

picious looking clear liquid flowed
