WELCOME RAIN.

Millions of Pine and Many Homesteaders
Houses Saved by Its Timely Arrival.
DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 5.-Dispatches
from the upper peninsulas of Michigan
show the rainfall in that region during
the night has effectually put a stop to-
the forest fires and will be the means Of
saving millions Of pine and lots Of
homesteaders' houses. The damage al
ready done, however, is immense and
many localities total loss. It is thought
nearly every foot Of standing pine in
Ontongen county is burned ,fully500, 000,-
600 feet. The hester estate has lost go
900, 1000; the Trout Lumber company 20,-
100000; Diamond Match company,
100000 The balance is owned by
homesteaders at Paynesville and Bruces
Crossing.
Many cattle and horses were burned
but no human lives were lost, though
there have been many perilous situa-
lions and narrow escapes. The railroads
have a large gang at work repairing
road beds and bridges and are rapidly
getting in shape to resume traffic.
