to supply local needs, and any excess
had to be shipped out of the state.
with this condition prevailing
we could not get much OF the cream
without paying a premium.
CHOW the local market has picked
up, and we can afford to pay more.
"It costs from five to seven cents
per pound for the farmer to ship but
ter fat to Spokane, yet the present
market price of butterfat in Spokane
today is but two cents over our price.
Therefore, every pound of butter
fat sent to Spokane by the farmer
represents a loss of about three cents
to him.
"That the farmers still ship out Of
the state is evidence of the fact that
they do not realize that there has
been an upward revision of prices
here.
I'VE are taking steps to notify
them, and I believe that the situation
here will soon return to normal"

%tators. In addition there were a num-
Der manned or injured.
"Rabble heads" heavy L shaped
pieces of iron, kept in stock by the
Kenyon-Connell company, to supply
the Butte smelters of that day, were
blown from east of the st. James
Montana street.
OF the firemen killed seven we're
regulars and nine were volunteers.
The entire regular department at the
city hall station numbered only nine,
so that there we're just two firemen
and one fire horse left. The regular
firemen killed were: Angus D. Cam
eron, chief; John F. Sloan, assistant
chief; Sam Ash, pipeman; P. J. Nor
ling, Iadderman; George Fffer, driver
hook and ladder; E. L.. Sloan and
Dave Moses, pipemen. The volun-
teers killed were: J.. F. Bowman, W.
A. Brokaw, Thomas Burns, William
Copeland, Steve D%eloughry, and w.
H. Nolan.
The fire started at 9:55 at night.
The alarm came in from what Is
since known as Hateful box To-" at
the corner of Utah avenue and Iron
street. Smoke rising from a number
of warehouses near the freight depot,
east of Arizona street, attracted the
attention of Officer James Steinborn,
who turned in the alarm.
The fire department at the city
hall responded. The Quartz street
department, according to rule, re-
placed the city hall department at
it's headquarters and thus escaped
the explosion.
When the department arrived the
flames were bursting through the
roof Of the Kenyon-Connell ware
house. Jack Flannery, the plugman,
dropped off to connect the hose. He
escaped death, as did Dave Magee,
the truck driver, who was engaged
in blanketing his horses. One Of the
horses was killed and fell on Magee,
injuring him seriously.
How much powder was stored in
the Kenyon-Connell warehouse has
never been determined, but the guam
tity must have been enormous judg-
ing from the havoc wrought. While
the official death list has placed the
at ST, it is conceded that
more than this number were killed
and blown to pieces by the shock.
