Virginia and Merritt Wiped Ont and
Other Towns Slightly Damaged.
DULUTH, June 20.--Accurate news OF
the fire on the Mesaba range shows the
usual exaggeration in the first reports,
but the money loss viii be greater than
first estimated. The first stories re-
garding Mountain Iron and Biwabik
were untrue. At Biwabik only few
detached buildings were burned and at
Mountain Iron only six buildings. At
Virginia the situation is as serious as
reported. The entire business portion
Of the town is destroyed. About 10
houses are standing and $40 were
burned. merritt Il
Nearly Wiped Ont.
only 10 buildings now remaining in the
town. It is impossible to reach Merritt
as the woods are still burning about tho
village. II was the only town the
newspaper men were not able TO visit
and Sc the exact situatiou tor theme
selves. The condition Of the sufferers
ct Virginia Is particularly unfortunate.
Most Of them are without shelter,
clothing Is scarce and food, despite the
supplies that have been sent froL.
Duluth, il still scanty. Everything
possible Is being done for them and
railroads reaching the range are carry
Ing all supplies and provisions free. On
the whole range about $500 people are
for the time being dependent on
charity. In . large measure the women
and children have been brought to
Duluth.
Work OF Relief. ai
At citizens meetinga general relief

decided not to appeal for outside aid.
Between $5, 900 and 1000 has been sub

are, many OF them, hard characters
and lawlessness is anticipated. Police
Sergeant Snollett and squad Of ofH

Texarkana would soon become one
of the first cities of the South, if the
corporation could be thrown INTO one
municipality, in one state. AS it is, it
is almost as bad, from a business
point of view, as if the two corpora
tions were a hundred miles apart. If
possible, our Congressman should
look into this matter and see if a
remedy can not be found.

PR1rN1SG SHRUBs.-There is hardly
a season of the year when shrubs may
not be pruned, provided the pruning be
of a moderate kind. In point OF fact,
;ftbe pruning be done as often as need
ed il will be moderate Ill extent, ana
that is the sort of pruning which best
suits shrubs of NEST descriptions.
Severe pruning may be avoided il,
with sharp knife at Land, branches or
shoots here and there be cut away SO
soon as they seem to be out OF place.
1t is not an eXaggeration TO say OF such
branches when thus cut, "they never
will be missed" and, after all, therein
lies very much of the art of pruning
shrubs. that what is cut away should
not exhibit loss, but rather gain, says
English Garden, authority for the fol-
lowing:
Cone of the hest features Of summer
pruning of shrubs is that when in leaf,
and of course the remark applies to de-
ciduous shrubs chiefly, their proper con-
tour is better understood and defined
in the pruning than when the leaves
have fallen. Such robust growing
shrubs us rhododendrons are often bet
ter pruned, if they need it; as soon as
the summer growths have been made
than in the winter, because it Is then
more easy to see what of the branches
may be spared. 1t is true that the fine
hybrids seldom become too large, be-
cause as rule they are not coarse
growers except in favored situations,
and the best remedy for unusually
strong growth is found in occasional
transplanting, giving to each plant more
room.
