Special Correspondence of the TRIBUNE,)
UPPER BELT, July est was dis
covered late Saturday afternoon that the
fire which has been raging for a number
of days past at Tiger butte and Logging
creek had crossed the Belt and was
spreading rapidly towards the settlements
on the bench. The men in the neigh
borhood were out all night, but were
ABLE to do but little towards putting out
the fire. Next day every man from
Goodman's, below Riceville to Monarch.
was on the war-path fighting the fire, but
the wind was blowing a gale from the
northwest and in spite of their most
heroic efforts it is estimated that fully a
thousand dollars worth of hay has been
burned. Messrs. Stone and Whitaker
being the heaviest losers. 1t is not
known that any buildings have been
burned, though several were in imminent
danger.
The fire is but partially subdued at the
time of writing and will require constant
effort to keep 1t in check until we shall
have rain. Hundreds of acres have
been burned over and the country pre-
sents a blackened, desolate appearance.
Crops are looking bad. Nothing but
copious rain and that at once can save
them. The loss will be heavily felt us
most of the grain has been put in by the
newcomers, who have yet to get a start
here.
Among the late arrivals are the family
of Mr.. Delphi from Michigan, a little
baby daughter at MI. Stones and another
at the home of N. T. Wilson; all addi-
tions to the Michigan colony. Mr.. Lee
land Lyons, during his late stay in our
midst, invested in Monarch Townsite
property and it is rumored will erect a
handsome building there. Businessmen
have great faith in the future of this
"Monarch of the glen"
