The smelter Is situated on a hill above the railway Just outside the city limits and no watpr supply was available. The fire brlgado could only watch the blaze. o .

IWIU 80CTH LIBERTY STREET 1 ( OI(IIE.Sl'OM)EX r OK THE HE AVER STATE HERALD TALKS RIGHT OCT AI101T THE S. I, Til I'NEARXEI) LAND GHAST, AM) OTHER THIXf.S. The railroad agents were around again Insisting on the squatters who are on the so-called railroad lands Blgnlng a lease, thus putting them in the place of tenants, and it is well known that a tenant cannot dispute a landlord's title. One of the squat ters wrote to the attorney general of the I'nited States nnd also to the con gressman from this district, and they both advised him under no consider ation to sign a lease. These leases were a monstrous exhibition of gall nnd impudence, as they bind the Bquatters not to use any firewood, nnd to get off of the premises In 30 days after being warned by the rail road company, and If there Is any cost attached to convicting them, the squat ter Is to pay it, and also to leave nil Improvements, without any return for labor and money expended and also If ever traveling nn nny of these rull road lines, not to sue or claim any damage If Injured while riding on their syHtem. This is certainly the limit! There Is only one thing they omitted, nnd that is they neglected to hnve the squatter have his life In sured fur $111,000 for their benefit. We would like to see tho color of the skunk's hair that wrote the lease. This Is no tlmo to write a lady-like or Miss Lizzie style about this bunch of out laws. Klllott of the Great Northern railroad says the people must, stop talking about tho railroads or they will Injure business. Probably they will produce a panic like J. P. Morgan threatened Itoosevelt In the lust days of his term unless he let the Tenessee Coal nail Iron (leal go through. Having tied up some of the best land in the stale with bogus land grants which they have long ago lost title to, they now say If they are not allowed to have their way to do Just ns they please with land that they do not own, why they will start a panic nnd paral yze business. A car load of snlt that cost fi2.80 in Frisco, costs $2."n.C0 for freight to Fort Klamath. Oregon. Lemons are rotting on the ground near Santa Barbara, California, while here they cost 50 cents a dozen, while we must not complain or the bunch of railroad outlaws and bankers will start a panic.
