Tool House at Mt.
Pleasant Cemetery
DESTROYED by Fire

The local fire department was
called out twice Monday, once for
the tool house at the Mount Pleas
ant cemetery, and the other for
fire in the boiler room of the Hume
Newhall company. The fire at the
cemetery burned the tool house fiat.
so that when the apparatus got there,
there was nothing to do but see that
the flames did not spread. The fire.
men reported that it probably started
from a grass fire near by. and It was
reported last night that boy with
rifle was seen shortly before, in the
vicinity of the tool house, later dis
appearing into the woods nearby. 1t
is believed that he may have care
lessly thrown a cigarette away and
that the grass caught fire from it.
The damage was reported last night
to be $500 with no insurance. There
were lawn mowers and other valu-
able tools in the building. The tele-
phone call to the fire station was
made at 100 and the men remained
at the fire for about half an hour.
At 1885 Monday night a call from
box 46 called the department to the
Hume Newhall sash and blind fac
tory. where a fire had been discovered
in the boiler room. There was little
fire. but great amount of smoke,
which hampered the firemen greatly
in their work. Two lines of lose
were laid and the blaze was quickly
eXtinguished, the al OUT being
sounded at $50. The damage to the
room was small
One of the firemen was slightly in
jured during the evening. the big
truck running over his foot as it was
moving from the Migrant after lay
ing a line Of hose The foot was
not however far enough under the
tire to be hurt severely, but he was
thrown to the ground suffering a
slight cash on his hand

COLUMBIA BASIN CAUTION.
Standpoint ReviewN

1t will be well if Standpoint. Bonner
county and northern Idaho do not grab
too quickly on the Columbia basin
project-at least not until it is pretty
well established what the intention is
with regard to the water supply and if
it might result in a greater height of
water in the Pend d'Oreille valley than
the ten feet above low water mark
above which, it is claimed. the water
cannot be held without damage to the
valley agricultural lands and without
inconvenience to Standpoint.
1t is also right that there should be
no results accruing to water power
interests which are not known to all
concerned, discussed as features Of the
proposition and their relation. if such
special privilege is one of the byprod-
ucts of the scheme, fully comprehended
and understood. The addition of
large additional water power to the
Washington Water Power company by
the use of the water as it passes through
Spokane presents industrial questions
which the people have right to dis
cuss and know about at this time and
with all cards on the table. A power
trust for all the Inland Empire and
one so large as to shut out all future
competition, If it should be one of the
objects to result should not be allowed
to come into existence unless it be |
with the full accord and understanding
Of the country affected

General Goethals establishes as the
