After this it is put onto charge at a very slow rate, if it comes up as it should it is then set away. If it does not take the charge as it should it is put on and discharg- ed for 48 hours at a very slow rate, then charged again. This is repeated until the battery is in No. 1 condition and every battery is given this treatment every 2 weeks, the charge for this service is $1 per month. COTTONWOOD BATTERY AND WELDING SHOP P.

The town lighted for blocks, while flames leaped higher and higher, to be reflected by sparkl- ing snow which covered the ground, 300 Grangeville folk witnessed a spectacular fire at 7 last Friday night, when a barn at the rear of Main street, near the Price livery barn, was part- ially destroyed. The barn was owned by Ward Van Wert of Kendrick and was under lease to Roy Triplett. The fire is sup- posed to have started from an overheated stove, in a_ small room at the rear of the barn. When the alarm was sounded, the entire structure was a mass merry of flames. Horses in the barn were rescued, but hay was destroyed. Grangeville dealers are out of coal. One carload is on the way from Wyoming, but when it will arrive, dealers do not know. Because of the strike of soft coal miners, and great need for fuel throughout the northwest, it is possible that the carload consigned to Grangeville, may be seized before it reaches here. Despite extremely cold weather, Grangeville has plenty of fuel. Wood is being hauled daily from the mountains south of the city. Some families have little wood on hand, but there is plenty of fuel to be had, although wood haulers in some instances have taken advantage of prevailing conditions and boosted the price.
