CRACKER STARTS
BLAZE AT NAMPA,
CAUSING BIG LOSS
Caldwell, Idaho, July 3.—At Nam­
pa today fire, which started in a ci­
gar store opposite the depot, in which
a Greek was setting off firecrackers,
destroyed an entire business block,
with a loss of >250,000, insurance
>125,000.
A special train brought a fire en­
gine from Boise, making the trip of
20 miles in 22 minutes. Had it not
been for this timely assistance it is
believed the greater part of Nampa
would have been destroyed.
The fire started at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, and it was 6:30 before the
flames were under control. Nampa
tonight is without telephone or tele­
graph communication with the out-
side world.
A list of firms burned out is as fol­
lows:
Bank of Nampa. Robb clothing
store, Walling Real Estate Company,
Edwards rooming house. Alameter
rooming house. Palace barber shop,
Nampa bar, Elva clothing store. Bow­
man Paint Company, Idaho Realty
Company, Elqueen cigar store, Idaho
restaurant. Jack's corner store, where

Springfield and when the laying of
the rails is started at the Salem ter­
minals it will be the work of a very
short time when the ring of the start­
ing bell will be heard.
