OF WEATHER AND
CROP CONDITIONS IN IDAHO

Mild pleasant weather prevailed
over the greater portion of the state
during the entire week ending Tues
day, May II. In some more elevated
districts night temperatures were
rather low and severe frosts occurred
on a few mornings. Light showers
occurred on few days in scattered
districts the fore part of the week
while fairly heavy rains fell over
practically the entire state during
the latter part.
All kinds of farm activities pc
culiar to the season were vigorously
prosecuted. Flowing and seeding in
the higher valleys, which has been
checked by continued cold stormy
weather, was accelerated by the
more favorable weather. Planting
sugar beets and potatoes, gardening
and orchard work progressed rapidly.
The high price of seed threatens to
reduce the potato acreage in some
districts. Early potato planting is
about completed in Canyon county
and the plants are being cultivated
in some localities.
Except for peaches and a few var
ietiey Of apples, fruit prospects are
generally excellent at present. Fruit
trees in most orchard districts are
coming into the stage when the
bloom is particularly susceptible to
damage by severe frosts and orchard
lists are taking precautions to pro-
tect them.
Grain, alfalfa, pastures and range
grasses are growing luxuriously
under the stimulous of the ample
rains of the ninth and tenth. This
rapid growth of pastures and range
grasses is reflected in the improved
condition of livestock generally.

MINER BURNED OUT ON
 ARCTIC CREEK

The Arctic creek cabin of a well known character known as Arctic" Smith was destroyed by fire, together with it's contents, a few days ago, ac- cording to Al Guinan, who was near the scene when the fire occurred. Mir Guinan says he visited Smith about three hours before the cabin was burned and believes the conditions which led to the destruction of the cabin developed at that time. Smith was getting up lunch following Guin- ans arrival and had built up a big fire in the cook stove. While the meal was being prepared. the stove pipe caught fire from soot accumulations and became red hot. They threw wat CT on the pipe, inside and out and ap- parently quenched the blaze. After lunching they remained in the cabin for an hour or so but saw nothing to indicate the coming disaster. When they finally left the cabin the fire in the stove had gone out. Guinan went down the creek and Smith proceeded to the scene of his mining operations a short distance away. Shortly after his attention was attracted by rising column of smoke and on investigating he found his cabin blazing tiercely. By tho time he reached the scene the whole interior was ablaxe and nothing could be saved. Some lingering spark in the pipe had apparently fired the soot and done the deadly work.
