cease to take aid for the famine suffer-
ers in Turkey. AS to the present state
of affairs in the famine-stricken dis
trict, we have no knowledge but infer
that with growing crops the worst

ward such sum of money ($46O.35)
for such a cause, and the words and
letters which have accompanied many
of the gifts will long remain as bene-
dictiOn.

The annual cleaning up of the
Goddess of Liberty in the court house
yard brings out a fresh suggestion as
regards the care of the monument in
winter. In place of the hideous box
that now hides all the beauty of the
figure one-half the year, let canopy
be built, upheld by four ornamental
posts, that will add too rather than de-
tract from the beauty of the monument
and put an end to the Burdette joke.
The village trustees talk of having

the services of man who understands
his business are secured the village
ought to be able to take immediate and
intelligent action on this most impor-
tant matter.

A Bad Forest Fire.

A Bad Forest Fire.
A forest fire ragged in the Victory
woods in the vicinity of L. ID. Hazen's
mill on Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
that threatened at one time to destroy
the entire property. 1t seems that on
Thursday Joseph Cloutier, who desir-
ed to clear up half an acre of land
which he owns adjoining Mr.. Hazen's,
fred the underbrush on it. The flames
soon spread beyond the limits of Mr..
Clautier's land, and on Friday had set
tied down into what is altogether too
we'll known in this section of the coun-
try as a forest fire. The fire travelled
a distance OF three miles, burning over
between 400 and 500 acres. On Fri
day the 20 or more families living at
the mills became alarmed for their
Safety and Saturday loaded all their
belongings including the women and
ed down grade to places of safety.
The fire surrounded the houses, the
dense smoke making it almost impos-
sible to fight it effectually, and not un-
til Sunday afternoon was it fully un-
der control, the rain of Sunday even
ing effectually finishing up the job.
Some 50 or IS cords of bark were burn
ed and the total damage will be about
$4,000. Over a million feet of sawed
lumber was on the ground, as we'll as
II or I8 houses, large barns, store, etc.,
and the loss would have been very
large had all been destroyed. Fortu-
nately there was little or no wind.
