The Flames on the Mountains but
Twelve Miles From Helena.
Colorado Gulch, which extends into Helena
and which is heavily timbered, is on fire but
twelve miles from here, aud the flames are
progressing in this direction. In the gulch
are number OF saw mills. the most extensive
Icing that of Sturrick & Brown. These
were quickly wiped out, as we'll as the homes
OF several ranchers.
Ten men started to fell the timber in the
hop, Of arresting the fire. They. were soon
surrounded by flames and barely escaped
with their lives, all of them having their
hair singed and their clothing burned so that
it fell off of them.
The wind shifted and carried the flames
East to Colorado Gulch, which goes
half around Helena, starting at Broadwatar's
Hotel and ending at Chinatown. The air Is
full OF cinders and tho heavens South and
East of the city present a lurid appearance.

and nearly every want has always been
supplied by means aside from her own
efforts, and who has never had occasion

in whom she has deep personal inter-
est, is not very likely to desire the bal
lot-partly because of early teaching
and the influence of her surroundings,
but chiefly through pure Indifference.
Yet she has no more right to lend her
voice and her influence and the use of
her name to hinder any other woman
from securing the elective franchise.

desire it. simply because she does not
