Another Respected Old Timer
Crippled.
The fire which wrecked the
print shop of the Owyhee Ava
lanche, Tuesday morning, caused
a loss in many ways irreparable.
That paper was the third oldest
in Idaho, the older ones being
the Boise Statesman and the
Idaho World. Its files for forty
years back, which fortunately
are preserved, contain perhaps a
better record of events and ex
citing incidents of pioneer days
in Idaho's history than can be
found elsewhere. They contain
names of men and records of
their doings who will always call
to mind incidents in the making
of Idaho's early history too
precious to be lost—names of
dauntless men who braved <i
wilderness of savage beasts and
still more savage redskins in
quest of silver and gold, and
incidentally to build what is now
an empire teeming with prosper
ity, abounding in all resources
which an advanced civilization
could demand. This extreme
corner of this now wonderful
commonwealth has been one of
the important factors in bring
ing about the mighty changes
which time and intelligently di
rected industry have .wrought.
The wealth produced from the
Owyhee mountains has helped
build and people its towns and
cities; made a market for the
production of the ranches in the
valleys and virtually contributed
enormously to the wealth of this
state as well poured money into
many distant cities. Many of
the fine homes recently destroyed
in California owed their origin to
wealth wrung from Owyhee
mountains and to cattle, horses
and sheep grown on Owyhee
ranges, and during all the years
of Owyhee's advancement, her
trials and her backsets, the
Avalanche has kept a most
faithful record of events as they
have occurred—rejoiced with the
country's prosperity and in every
adversity been considerate. It
has had a long line of editors!

brilliant or financial success. Its
present publisher, a capable man, ;
has striven hard to bringit back
to its former time-honored stand-j He
ing but has not notably succeed
ed.
He and his rival publisher,
have often handed each other
"bunches of hot ones," though j
all the time on personally amid- by
able terms, but now all rivalry is
forgotten, and whatever he may
determine to do in the way of
storing his plant and resuscitat
ing his paper, all the Nugget shop
can do to assist is most cheer
fully at his command.

One year ago plans were made
for building a hotel at Twin Falls
which were thought to be far in
advance of the needs of the town.
It was projected to be a two story
structure, but was later changed
to three stories, with much of the
first floor to be occupied by
offices, because it was not
thought the demands for hotel
purposes would necessitate the
a
corporate enterprise.

the State.
Later on the man
agement, after occupying all the
rooms originally designed for
offices, found it expedient to rent
the upper floors of the large ad
joining building and fit them up
to be occupied as bed rooms.
Now a 26x40 foot addition is to
be added to the hotel. This is
simply an indication of the pro
gress which is being witnessed in
that two year old city. It is on
ly keeping pace with the wonder
ful growth of all the country in
that section. The sale of state
lands on the lower portion of
the Twin Falls tract only a few

business for the bank. Mr. Eagle

If sentiment throughout the county
