was totally destroyed by fire Monday
morning, together with all its con
tents, the family barely escaping with
their lives. Mr. Woods was severely
burned about the face and head, but
it is not thought any permanent in
Jury will result.
The fire occurred in the early morn
ing while the older members of the
family were at breakfast, and start
ed from a kettle of oil which Mr.
Woods was heating catching fire and
exploding. While Mr. Woods carried
the burning oil outside Mrs. Woods
hastened upstairs where two younger
children were sleeping and lowered
them to safety through a window in
their night clothes. Mr. Woods was
burned while attempting to go back
into the house to get the children. In
an incredibly short time the building
was entirely consumed. The loss in
cluded tho residence and a large
amount of provisions which had been
stored for tho coming year. Gate

Harney County (Burns) Tribune,
Irrigation Issues Approved.
C. B. McConnell returned to Burns
Saturday evening from an extended
business trip to coast points which in
eluded Portland, where he represented
Harney county as a delegate to the
irrigation congress held in the Rose
City the first of the month, and later
Salem, where he went in the interest
of measures proposed and endorsed by
the congress whjch were presented to
the legislature for action. He re
ports that in both instances much
good was accomplished for tho inter
ests of irrigation, and that House Bill
No. 168 introduced by Representative
Laurgaard will do much toward plac
ing irrigation projects on a sound fi
nancial footing.
Senator Julien Hurley, this district,
is chairman of the senate committee
on irrigation and together with other
members of that committee who are
in favor of bettor irrigation methods.

Natural Gas at 1'aycttc.
Sometime ago an artesian well was
drilled for the Payette Cold Storage
Co. to a depth of 275 feet and with
a full flow of artesian water there
was also found natural gas. A sys
tem has been contrived to separate
tho gas from tho water and piped to
the engine room where it is used for
cooking purposes. It will also be
used to light the building. Caldwell

Buys Lumber Yards.
The Boise-Payette Lumber Com
pany last week purchased the Idaho
Lumber Company string of 17 yards
paying $760,000 for them. This gives
the Boise-Payette people 157 yards
and two lumber mills one at Barber
and one at Emmett. Caldwell News.
Creamery Contract Let.
The directors of the Caldwell Co
operative Creamery Co. met in this
city, Saturday, to consider bids for
the erection of a new home for that
institution, and the contract was let
for a commodious concrete building,
30x60 feet. The contract was let to
C. E. Silbaugh for $1G50. The new
building will be located at the corner
of Third and Arthur streets and will
be ready for occupancy by April 1.
The creamery is under the manage
ment of C. A. Scott, and is a rapidly
growing institution.
Tho business of the concern has
been steadily increasing. Fully $4000
is now being paid out monthly to the
farmers for milk, while the payments
as recently as November totaled but
$3000 per month. Butter produced by
tho creamery is sold in Boise and
Butte. Average daily shipments to
each of these towns are to the value
of $100, Boise getting slightly more
than this amount generally, while the
value of the other city is under this
figure. Caldwell News.
Irrigated Land Sella.
John Forbes, a prosperous farmer
of tho Owyhee neighborhood, this
week sold his farm, consisting of GO
acres of fine irrigated land, to Dick
Stam for a consideration of $7,000.
Mr. Stam a few months ago sqld his
farm in the same neighborhood to a
livestock company, and likes that sec
tion so well that ho wasn't satisfied
until ho was the owner of another
piece of the land. Nyssa Journal.
Irrigation Contract Let
Mr. B. D. Mclntyro, president, and
Mrs. Mclntyre, secretary of tho Lit
tle Willow Irrigation District, L. H.
Patton and Jasper Roe were in Pay
ette Monday and met with the board
of directors of the above district, at
which meeting tho contract, was let
for tho construction of tho Dam and
ditches, to David Miller of Kansas
City, and sub let by Mr. Miller to
Manoy and Wells Bros., contractors

There was also present at this meet
ing, R. E. Miller, representing Puget
Sound Dredging Co. of Seattle, who
have arranged to buy the bonds of
tho district as soon as they are print
ed, amounting to $105,000 of which
$50,000 is to bo paid in cash to ap
ply on the payment of tho land to be
used for the reservoir, and $115,000
to bo accepted by the contractors in

visable to have their office at Payette,
E. C. S. Brainard was elected secre
tary; B. D. Mclntyre was re-elected
president, and J. L. Edwards, treas
urer.
This project has been contcmplnt
ed for some time and is one of much
merit nnd when completed will mean
much to tho land owners under the
project as well as the people of Pay
ette. The land under this system of
irrigation is of tho best quality. The
dam and reservoir site is the most
naturnl of any in tho state. The dam
when completed will be 00 feet in
height and the capacity of the reser
voir is estimated at 30,000 acre feet,
which we bchovo to bo n very conser
vative estimate. Payette Entcrnrise.
