FOREST FIRES IN
IDAHO UNCHECKED
In NORTH IDAHO FIRES STILL
RAGING AND RAIN ALONE
WILL STOP THEM

WALLACE, Idaho.-Dense smoke
1 continues to darken the Coeur d'Alenes
from numerous forest fires through
out the district. Reports so far re.
ceived by E. G. Pulaski, that conditions
/ last night were no better than they
were "a hours ago, when ashes we've
raining down in the streets of Wal
lace.
More men are needed, say forestry
officials to fight fires. Reports from
the serious blaze at the head of
Placer creek, over the range south
of Wallace, are to the effect that
the fire continues to spread in the
face of winds which famed it during
the day.
At one time a trench had been dug
entirely around this fire, but with
the freshening of the wind the fire
was swept over this barrier and is
still spreading. Efforts are now be-
ing made to confine it to the water
shed drained by Hord's gulch, but
this will depend upon weather con-
ditiOns, according to reports late last
night.
The Prichard creek fire is reported
as unchecked and calls for more fire
fighters are still coming from that
section. The fire at the head of Big
creek on the ST. Joe is reported to be
gaining headway on account of there
being no men available to send there.
Twenty men we're sent to the fire
on Steamboat creek, near Nelson ST.
ding on the north fork of the Coeur
dAlene river, yesterday. This is re-
ported to be big fire now and is
known as a "crown fire." one that
jumps from treetop to treetop.
Forestry officials say that the trees
in this fire zone when heated ex-
plode.
Rides % Miles Through Fires.
LEWISTON, Idaho.-A report late
last night from Weippe, Idaho, said
that a bungalow on the north fork
which served the headquarters of the
orest service in that section was burn
ed yesterday in a forest fire. The
ranger station was completely destroy
I'd there and bridge across the north |
'ork there was burned also. A ranger
station on Moose mountain, Il miles |
east of the bungalow, also burned.

A big fire is sweeping
rom Ford's creek toward Weippe. The
whole country is ablaze. A man yes
erday rode from Potts mountain
through % miles of big fires and ar
ived at Weippe.

GOVERNMENT STOPS
FURNISHING POWER
CHANGES IN ELECTRICAL SYS-
TENS FOR IDAHO ARE BEING
MADE GRADUALLY

BOISE.-The government of the
United States is going out of the
business of supplying power for heat
ing purposes in Idaho, and signs are
not wanting that it may also gradual
ly retire from the lighting business.
All this is indicated by recent devel-
opments on the Minidoka tract, the
only section in Idaho where the gov
ernment supplies electric energy.
The only reason the federal govern
ment ever undertook to supply power
to the individual other than for ir-
rigation pumping was because it could
do so practically at no cost, especially
for heating, as it was thought the
heating load could be carried at a
time when the power was not needed
for pumping and it was regarded as
being cheaper to supply the service
than to even partially suspend opera
tions at the plant during the winter
months.
Recently a meeting was held at
Burley, which, with Rupert and Hey
burn, has been supplied with power
from the government reclamation
plant. Representative of the govern
ment were present and went over with
the Burley council the subject of
power.
Rate Increase Nearly 100 Percent
The reclamation officials stated
that it would be necessary to increase
the rate almost 100 per cent if there
was any way the government might
continue the service.
They also stated that it would be
necessary for Burley to build sep
arate station for distribution of the
heating current. The Burley Herald
in discussing the matter says, 'This
would cost the city $4,000 which the
council says is out of the question"
The Burley Bulletin in commenting
on the matter states that under the
circumstances "the towns on the Mini
doka project must look to some other
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1919-08-22

source than the government power
plant at the Minidoka DAM
The jerome Bulletin in handling the
subject says "The government now
seems to be taking the position that
it has been furnishing the power at
less than cost. If this be so, then
perhaps the private corporations have
not been the conscienceless holdups
they have been accused of being"
Seek New Source.
1t is probable the towns on the
reclamation project will arrange for
power for lighting purposes and other
commercial uses from some other
source such as the Idaho Power COM
pany. One of the papers in that dis
trict points out that, while the rates
of the power company are necessarily
higher than those of the government,
which has supplied electric emery at
less than the cost of production, all
have shown that they
were based on very small percent
age of earning.
Not Practical for Heating.
Last winter hearing was held in
Boise on the subject of heating with
electricity. Experts were present
from western universities and some
with the federal govern
nent.
They all agreed that heating by
electricity was impractical because of
he large volume of power continuous
y required and the cost of furnishing
t. They declared coal was the proper
uel in this country, leaving electricity
or commercial, domestic and irriga-
ion purposes.
Apparently the United States gov
has come to this conclusion /
md will discontinue the use of pow
r for heating. The question of furn-
shing power for other purposes is
till in allegiance, but, because of the /
ctual demands for pumping, it is
ossible that service will be suspend |
d by the government.

More Mexican Brutality.

LAREDO, Texas.-K Killing of nine
ty men of the government garrison at
Tanhuijo, state of Vera Cruz, Mexico,
by followers of Manuel Pelaez, the
rebel chief of the oil regions, is re-
ported in copies of Ell Heraldo de
Mexico which have been received
here. Sixty were killed in defending
the town.
According to the published account
the rebel chief forced the commander
of the garrison, Lieutenant Colonel
MARQUEE, to execute the 80 prisoners
with a machine gun, later hanging the
unfortunate officer up by his heels
and shooting him.

poets to raise approximately $4,000
before they complete their task which
will assure fine show and good
