CRANCEvILLE
GARAGE BURNS
FIRE DESTROYS BUILDING
AND TWENTY-FIVE
AUTOMOBILES.

The Main Street Garage of
Grangeville, owned by Walter
McAdams, burned to the ground
early Monday morning with it's
entire contents consisting of a
large stock of automobile ac-
cessories, tools and machinery
and twenty-five automobiles.
The loss is Approximately $780,
900. Mr.. McAdams estimates his
loss at $4,000 with $4,000 in
surance. The building, valued at
$4,000 was insured for $4,000
and was recently purchased by
the Miller Implement Company
from Herman Book Of Napa, Cal.
The origin of the fire is a
mystery and was not discovered
until the building was in flames.
Explosions of gasoline tanks
on the autos in the building
forced the firemen to remain at
a distance from the building and
seriously hampered fighting the
fire. The Crea and Won Berge
buildings, adjoining the garage,
were slightly damaged.
The automobiles devoured by
the flames belonged to tourists
and Grangeville citizens and
about half of them were insured.
Ben Robertson, deputy sher-
iff lost his car in the fire and
carried no insurance as did also
the Cottonwood Garage who had
a Ford truck in the McAdams
Garage at the time of the fire.
1t is understood that Mr..
McAdams will again reengage in
business in Grangeville and that
The Miller Hardware will replace
the building with a new structure
at once.

CAR OVER GRADE.

Garland F'arriS and Wayne
Henderson, of Nezperce, were
severely bruised and scratched
Sunday evening when their Ford
truck went over the Lawyers
canyon grade, three miles from
Nezperce. The young men were
thrown from the car after it
turned over once which is
thought to have saved them
from more serious injury, as the
car was a total wreck after it
had come to rest on the hill side.
The accident occurred when
Far1-is and Henderson were re-
turning home from Cottonwood
and is thought to have been
caused by the locking of the
steering gear. The two men
spent the night at a neighboring
farmhouse, returning to Nez-
perce Monday morning.

all repairs were also made by
him and the building inside and
out presents a most pleasing eff
feet.
The attendance this year is
expected to be the heaviest in
years and this will prove true
especially in the high school.
Owing to the heavy harvest
on the prairie this year many of
the high school students will not
enter school until later in the
season but these pupils will be
given special assistance when
they do enter in order that they
may quickly catch up with the
remainder of the pupils in their
classes.

PIPE DROPS $50 FEET.

Three-hundred and twenty
feet Of A inch piping dropped
$50 feet, Tuesday while work
men were engaged in hosting
the same out of the city well in
order to replace a new cylinder.
The castings are now lodged SO
tight in the well that it has been
impossible to jar them loose.
The company has a crew Of men
engaged trying to unlodge the
castings but to date they have
been unsuccessful. The well
for the past month has been
supplying the city with water
and since its forced shutdown
water is now coming from the
reservoir on the mountain that
is held in reserve for such emer-
gency cases. 1t is hoped that
the well will again be in opera
ton by the last Of the week.
The well is 522 feet deep and
when running steadily easily
supplies the town with water.
The accident will cost the
water company several hundred
dollars.

BELIEVES THAT THE PRICE
WHEAT WILL NOT SLUMP.
Mikkelson Says Lower Price Pre-
dictions Not Warranted
BY Conditions.

81 do not believe there will be
the slump in wheat values that
was so generally predicted few
weeks ago at the opening Of the
Market said M. B. Mikkelson
of the Prairie Mills company, an
extensive buyer in this region.
Some influences to maintain
the market have not been given
proper consideration, it seems.
For instance, about 100000.
900 bushels Of northwest wheat
this year must be represented in
flour sales to the orient, made
previous to the maturity of the
crop. That is quite a hole in om
northwest production
The Prairie Mills company, OF
which concern Mr.. Mikkelson is
the head, operates the Cotton
wood Elevator mill and are now
grinding wheat in the mill here
Their main offices are maintain,
ed in Lewiston where they have
been buying wheat in large
quantities.
Besides milling wheat int(
flour they are also buying wheat
in Cottonwood through the Cot
tonwood Elevator company prin
cipally.

SPIRITED RUNAWAY.

A team belonging to the Cot
tonwood Dray, last Friday after
noon took part in a spirited run
away when they became fright
ened while standing in front of
the driver, Ben Bieren's home,
and ran down King street just
missing the DR.. Shinnick car
that was parked on the street
near the Leggett store. In max
ing the turn on Main street the
back end of the dray wagon hit
the big seven passenger Buick
car belonging to Aug. Kopczyn-
ski turning it almost end for
end. The only damage done to
the car was to the tire rack.
Running on down the street
they again missed Ford car by
only a narrow margin. The
frightened horses ran as far as
the Madison Lumber company
and then doubled back to the
livery stable where they are
kept. No damage was done to the
wagon or equipment.
