GOES UP IN SMOKE.

Last Sunday morning between four
and five o'clock, a negro cafe on the
East side Of town went up in smoke
and many are the opinion that the
house was robbed and then burned.
The building was worth Sl,700, car
ried $500 insurance and was the prop
erty Of DIR. |. L. Hildreth, colored.
The cafe and stock was owned by
George Wallace, was valued at 81 800,
including player piano, and was in
sured for 5000. The location of the
cafe was considerably removed from
the white business section. When the
flre-fighting force and others reached
the scene, the entire lower part Of the
house was in flames, and one man in
forms US that the doors were, leading
to the belief, as stated, that the house
had been robbed and then fired.

Colonel" H. C. Pyles, a farmer

The doughty colonel says that the

chewed tobaccob since he was knee
high to duck, that he has never lost
but one tooth-and you can tell the
world that it was tobacco that saved
his teeth, and the stronger the weed
the better. The writer's father died
from the effects of the grip, at the
age of 60, having excellent teeth, one
filled some forty years before his
death, and he chewed tobacco continu-
ously after the age of five or six
years-yet, we would advise against
the use of the ''filthy weed"

Federal Judge E. T. Stanford SAYS
the crime wave that is sweeping over
the United States is due principally to
violations of the Prohibition law-and
says that the operators of stills and

sible citizen who buys the whisky.
And we can tell the Judge that back
of the whisky and its making is the

it is the fools who buy the whisky

We have often been asked what
manner of Chancellor our townsman,
Mr.. w. H. Denison was making and
until the judge presided here at the
October term Of the Chancery court,
we were forced to frankly admit that
we were not able to answer. Howev-
err, when we noted the Judge presiding
and marked his manner toward the
lawyers practicing before him, we did
not hesitate to say that we believe
"Watt" to be making a good and sat
isfactory Chancellor. In addition to
our own favorable opinion, we are
glad to hear from the lawyers of the
Lexington and other bars, that Chan
cellor Denison is acquitting himself
well, and that no matter how long or
short his service on the bench may
be, he can retire fully entitled to the
plaudit "Well done, thou good and
faithful servant" expositor and adj
ministrator of justice and equity. We
are writing this as deserved tribute
to Chancellor Denison without the
least knowledge of any intention on
his part as to whether or not he will
stand for election next year. Lexing-

There are many ms and outs in
connection with the impending rail
road strike. One report from Chica-
go is that perhaps a million of the
workers will not join in the strike
another that the government says the
United States mails should move "at
any price" if the strike can not be
averted and goes into effect. Of
course everybody is hoping that the
strike may be averted by any sort
of compromise that the railroad
workers can afford to accept.

marks occasionally made by intelli-

Frankly does the P. C. think the
farmer ought to sell his yearling hide
for dollar or less and pay $500 to
$500 for pair of shoes; or sell his
cotton at 16 cents a pound and pay
$3.50 for pair of cottonade breeches,
and keep his mouth shut lest he be
classed with ''labor union agitators

Criminal Freight Rates.

One of the things that the people
Of southern Idaho must do and the
people OF Mountain Home ought to
do, is to start movement to secure
reduced freight rates to the Inter-
mountain country. At the present
time rates from the middle west to
the pacific coast are only about one
half the rates for the shorter haul
to Idaho, and the rates we must
pay for our produce going east Is in
about the same proportion. As an
instance, the rate on WOO! from Port
land to Boston is $1.66, and from
Idaho points to Boston, $3.46. This
is a matter of greater importance
than getting new settlers or secur-
ing larger areas Of irrigated land,
and should be ecured by such
amendments to the interstate COM
merce law as will prevent diserim-
natory rates.
Senator Gooding recently called
these rates criminal on the part of
the railroads, and he could easily
have gone farther and called the
congress that allowed it without
passing preventative laws even more
criminal than the roads.

STORM DAMAGES
BUILDINGS AND
CROPS near BLISS

A rain storm followed by a high
wind did considerable damage
around Gooding Monday morning
An electric light pole back of the F.
H. Jeffries home was blown over,
also a pole near Bliss. A silo on
the Joe Mauvais ranch south Of
town was blown on its side and a
large tree by the Phillips rooming
house in town was broken off and
fell across the side walk For
about thirty minutes the air was
full of all sorts of loose trash and
limbs from the trees.
At Bliss the roof was blown from
the south side of the new school
building and a galvanized iron
garage was blown over. At Hager-
man the roof was blown from the
Hagerman hotel, and all of the
Hagerman telephone lines were put
out of commission, besides damage
to hay and other farm products
throughout the valley.
Other damage done by the wind
around Gooding includes the blow
ing over of a silo and the blowing in
of a barn on the A. w. Daubner
ranch, damage to buildings on the
Finley Smith, and the tearing off Of
tops from numerous haystacks
H. L. Moody's homestead on wheels
on a ranch near Tuttue also was
lifted off the truck, rolled over two
or three times and carried a dis
tance of at least a hundred feet by
the wind. Mr., Moody, though
homesteading on this ranch at the
time fortunately was not in the
shack at the time.
The wind came from little south
of west and the storm cloud was
seen to form in the short space Of
about fifteen minutes.
Some rain fell during the night
of Sunday and there were intermit-
tent showers during Monday

The Joys of Autumn.

Another autumn season has ar
rived, to many the season that seems
to be the best part Of the entire
year. Some OF the older poets,
such as Tennysn and Longfellow,
have referred to the coming of au-
tumn in tones of sadness and regret,
''the melancholy days, saddest of
the year"-but later writers are
more inclined TO see it as a season
of much JOY and happiness. In
fact there are many persons, aside
from poets, who are true lovers Of
nature and who find in autumn
more genuine pleasure and real en-
joyment than are furnished by any
other period of the year.
To them the turning leaf is more
exquisite than the one just taking
on the delicate green OF spring,
and a stranger, wilder beauty Is to
be found in all the other manifesta-
tions disclosed to tho observing eye
at the end Of the growing season.
II to win the truest pleasure from
nature we must posses the art oil
seeing things properly and to their
very depth, there probably is much
more to be discerned In autumn
than at any other period, The en-
chantment of color in yarigated
hues and shades, Is the most wond-
erful bestowal for us 10 admire. A
late September walk reveals some
of 1T, but this Is only the beginning,
a promise Of the Courteous pageant
soon to follow Merely the hints Of
what yet Ia to be are there, vet at
that they are most interesting to
noe, The transformation by the
great magician is in progress, but it
is so subtle that at first It scarcely
is noticed.
We see indeed, what has hap
pened since last week, or even yes
terday, curious alterations OF tree
and plant and odd happenings Of
hue and form, but OF the miracle
that is passing directly under our
eyes are unconscious,
