RANCH HOME
DESTROYED

Residence and Contents of Mr..

ash can placed in the woodshed, caus-
ed the loss of the farm hcme Of Mr..
and Mrs. Jas. ID. Lyttle, a few miles
northwest from this place, az about 1
O'Clock last Monday morning. The en-
Arc contents of the home, including the
clothing and personal effects of the
family, the woodsied and cellar, seven
cords Of wood and the supply of bind
ing twine for this seasons crop that
Mr. Lyttle had just takon home, were
destroyed. Insurance to the amount of
$500 was carried ON the buildings,
barely sufficient to cover the loss on
the woodshed and cellar which was
built of cement blocks.
Just before discovering the blaze Mr..
Lyttle was awakened by the roaring
of the flames and the light shining
through the window of their bed room.
and before realizing the seriousness
Of the fire hurriedly donned scant
clothing and rushed out to see what
could be done to check the flames.
He noted that the fire had climbed up
the studding near which the ash can
was placed and had Travelled from the

time Mrs. Lyttle had notified nearby
neighbors by phone and together they
proceeded to save what articles could
be gotten out Two coucheS and some
bedding were taken TO what was sup
posed safe place but were later des-
troyed.
The grass around the house had
been cut for hay by Mr. Lyttle and
the stubble left was quite dry and the
flames famed by the stiff breeze
worked their way across the yard to
the place where the couches and bed

Mr.. Cox has his own secretary Of
agriculture in mind it seems, a real"
dirt farmer. We presume his name
is John Barleycorn. So we have only
secretary of commerce left: for that
place we are sure we have the right
man, "a man than whom. etc. there
Is none so sophisticated, comma, a
man who could not be fooled by the
big interestsNfor he knows them all,
a man than whom etc, there is none
wiser, the Hon Mr.. Bud Weiser."
We trust Mr.. Cox will put real
laborer into the office of secretary
Of labor, too. 1t will be a difficult
job to find one in these degenerate
days. But there is one concerning
whose work there is no question, one
who works night and day, a regular
white mule for work. Mr.. Rain Moon
shine. Because of his well known
capacity for working overtime, he
may not be satisfactory to the unions
but if Mr.. Cox really wants worker
as knows how TO work, we can re
commend our candidate to the limit

Cox is understood to have selected

cox CABINET PICKED FOR HIM
Promise of Real Dirt Farmer Inspires
List of Lively IrrigatiOnists.

Governor COX promises TO put a
real dirt farmer into his. cabinet as
secretary of agriculture. That ought
to make Mr. Meredith mad. Meredith,
you know Is a man who farms the
farmers That being the case Dennis
Stovall is also out Of the race. Some
men from eastern Oregon irrigation
districts ought"to land. for Cox is n
great believer in irrigation. That's
why Tammany renominated him.
He has not announced the rest Of
his cabinet yet, but as this is epr-
fectly Independent paper, and as we
nominated Hardings cabinet for him
it is only fair that we help Mr.. Cox
too.
For secretary of state we suggest
the Hon Mr.. Gustave Pabst. For sec
heuser Busch. Mr.. Busch was crack
erjack for keeping his own treasury
full-and nearly everybody else.
For secretary of war nobody could
beat his honor, the we'll knowp Mr..
Spirits Fruementi. He has been mixed
up In more good fights than any man
living and ought to know all about it.
Mr.. Cox will need the right kind
of an attorney general. What's the
matter with the well known Mr..
Porter-not Johns nor Jack but Mr..
Malt Porter, the famous twin brother
Of Mr.. Brown Ale. He can be count
ed on to put plenty of kick into his
werl, even though he does froth and
foam around more than would seem
necessary.
For postmaster general there is Al.
BurleSon. of course but we need a
change. Not too much change, to be
sure, but minor change, says Mr.. Al
Cohol The employs around the de-
partment wouldn't have to go to the
trouble of learning new game. They
are familiar with 1t.
For secretary of the navy, may
we not suggest that peerless sea-
man. Admiral Schlitz? To he sure
he never saw the ocean. But neither
did Admiral Grayson. Schlitz .on the
other hand has floated more old
hulks than anybody living and is the
man who invented schOoners. He
has taken the blue ribbon so many
times that he has been often and
fondly called blue ribbon Schlitz"
For secretary of the interior we
think the famous Mr.. Book would be
satisfactory. He has satisfied a great
many interiors and has probably seen
the workings Of more interiors than

Next Tuesday is primary election

ing the election must be made hy the
precinct committeeman, such as secur-

having the supplies which are fur
hlshed by the county on hand at the
opening of the polls. The precinct
committeeman serve without 1ompen-

that the officers must serve without
expense to the county. The political
parties must also hold separate cleo
lions, which futher adds to the diff
ficulty in securing officers as two sets
are required.
Law Should be Changed.
In many of the more sparsely SET

MINING MEN RETURN

lard Inspect Hump Properties


Dean Francis A. Thompson OF the
school Of mines at the University of
Idaho, and S. NJ. Ballard. mining
man of pIacerville, Idaho returned
Tuesday from a weeks tour of in
spection of~smining properties in the
Buffalo Hump section. Both these
gentlemen were guests at the regular
Wednesday luncheon of the CONNER
ciaI club ana made brief talks on the
mining situation aS they found it in
the Hump. They gave very flattering
reports of certain properties and ad-
vocated the improvement OF the roads

district The statement was advanced
chat u number of properties could op
crate the year around if auto truck
reads We're established. The ore in
the Hump. great deal of which car
ris high values, could be reduced to
concentrates and then trucked TO the
railroad during the summer months
when the road would be dry.
There is logic in the statement, and
if the mines i'm the interior of this
county are ever opened up this method
will probably have to-be followed.
