FIRE ENDANGERS MT. Fire on the south side of Mos- cow mountain, one of the scenic attractions of the city, broke out | early Monday morning and at a late hour Tuesday afternoon threatened to spread and endan- ger the entire mountain side. A crew of forestry students, head- ‘|ed by H. A. Gatley, of Moscow, was at work starting this noon. The students were sent out by Dean F. G. Miller of the Uni- versity of Idaho school of for- estry. The fire is regarded as serious due to the dryness of the timber and the blowing up of a wind late in the afternoon. The pres- ent area burned over is not large but the fire is endangering the surrounding timber. Last year serious damage to the timber of the mountain was narrowly averted after several days of volunteer forest’ fire students of the University of Idaho, under the direction of the instructors of the school of for- estry. Monday’s fire is believed te have been started from a camp Moscow Mirror. RURN FIERY CROSS, Fair visitors and residents of the city of Lewiston were -as- tonished to see a big fiery cross blaze forth on top of the Lewis- ton hill. The cross was near the top on the old road and as it was seen to light up several autos were noticed to leave it and de- send the old highway. Inquiry revealed that the phenomena was a result of the activities of the members of the Ku Klux Klan who desired to show fair visitors that the Klan is active in the two cities.—Clarkston Re- public. VILLAGE TO GET $2800. That the village of Orofino will recover about $2800 from the Fidelity State Bank, which »mount it had on deposit at the time the bank closed its doors in April, 1921, is the firm belief of members of the board ‘of trus- tees, following a conference with V. R. Clements, attorney of Lew- iston, who is handling the vii- lage’s case. Mr. Clements was here Tuesday evening and made srrangements with the board to have the case heard early next week in Moscow by Judge Steele, provided the date can be arrang- ed with the court. The evidence and circumstarftes are practi- cally the same as_ existed be- tween the North Fork Highway District and the bank, the North Fork wining its case.—Orofino Tribune. WARREN HOUSE BURNS. The six-room home belonging to G. B. Warren and family, of Westlake, burned, together with night. Myr. Warren is a member of the C. E. Hayden threshing crew and was away when the fire took place. The fire, so it is told us by Mr. Graham, a neighbor, is thought to have started from a defective flue. Practically nothing of any | value, except the telephone, was saved, and the family had to make haste to make their get- away. One sad part in connec- tion, there was no insurance on either home or contents. Here is an opportunity to doa good Samaritian deed right at home; notwithstanding that the War- ren family has not even hinted at anything of the sort.—Ferdi- nand Enterprise. NEED FIXING.

MOTHER OF 15 CHILDREN. Mrs. Mary Isaksen, a resident of the Genesee section for nearly 30 years, passed away at her home, four miles north of Gone- see at 6:30 o’clock Tuesday evening, September 11, 1923, of diabetes, from which she had been a sufferer for the past 12 years. Had she lived until Dec- ember 15, she would have been 70 years of age. Mary Larson was born at Ven- ersborg, Sweden, December 15, 1858, and came to America in 1875, going to Fairbolt, Minne- sota, where the same year she was married to Abraham Isaken. To this union 15 children were born, eight of whom survive. They are Mrs. Anna Thorsten- son, Mohler, Idaho; Peter Isak- sen, Genesee; Mrs. Carrie Hud- son, Spokane; Mrs. Lizzie Wil- kins, Tacoma; Wash.; Isaak Isaksen, Genesee; Herman Isak- sen, Genesee; Mrs. Chailes Bour- land, Grangeville; Emma Isak- sen, Tacoma, Washington. Besides her children she is survived by one brother, Andrew Solberg, of Alger, Washington. at Fairbolt until 1884, when they came to the Genesee section, settling on the farm where Mrs. Isaksen passed away, and where she has, with the exception of a few years spent at Tacoma, —Genesee News. BACK FROM CALIFORNIA. R, M. Hollingsworth and fam- ily who last summer went to Cal- ifornia with at least part of an idea of making a home there, have come back to Idaho, arriv- ing at their home ranch at Har- risburg last Friday. In conver- sation with Mr. H. yesterday he says he is glad to get back to the Kamiah valley country, altho he and his family have spent a pleasant year during their ab- sence. They traveled pretty much over the state of Califor- nia and saw a great many things of interest. Reno worked at various jobs, which gave him an insight into some of the indus- tries that have made California famous. He says that if tomatoes, melons and various other Eras | = and vegetables can be raised at a profit on land that costs as high as $8,000 an acre there in California, he cannot see why money can’t be made on the same things on the cheap land of Kamiah. So far as soil and fav- orable climate goes, he says Cal- ifornia has nothing on our own| section, while our products are just as good if not. superior in flavor. Put under the intensive cultivation and scientific culture that is given such things in Cal- ifornia, he thinks our land would produce much better and just as big crops at a much less expense. | Of course, it has taken years to bring California to this point, and it will take time to develop our North Idaho resources; but | we sure have the natural advan- | tages of soil, climate and mois-| ed right now is the men with the determination to make the start. | —Kamiah Progress.
