feared there will he great suffering
before it pushes it way through the
burning forests. Fires had been burn
ing around the towns for several days,
but about noon roaring gale swept
down the mountain, lifting high in the
air tops and limbs of burning trees and
carrying them long distances as brands
to start now fires in a thousand differ.
ent places. Almost instantaneously q
dozen fires were raging in Three
Forks. The terror stricken people
had to flee for their lives, leaving
everything behind them. The pro.
prietor of q laundry and bathhouse and
his wife jumped into the creek and
swan down stream until they reached
a place of shelter. AT Bears Lake

his wife and two small children. waded
out into the water of the lake and re.
manned there for hours. 1t is almost
certain that q number of lives have
been lost among the p%rospectors. The
total loss at Three Forks is about $685..
600: at Watson, about $40, 600; at Bear
Lake, $25, 600. 1t is feared that MIR.

Another Chicago Blaze.
Chicago special: The lumber district
was visited by q second fire which for
. time threatened to rival in destruc-
%tiveness the n of the night before.
Before it was subdued it had wiped out
the yards of John Spry Lumber Com
pany, A. J. Mclean, cedar posts, p.
Farrell, cedar posts.
In addition to the lumber yards q
wooden bridge over the Chicago River
at Ashland Avenue was totally de-
strOycd. The fire was discovered in
the Spry lumber yards. A high wind
was blowing and the flames, which in
q few minutes were beyond control,
began to spread rapidly. Calls for
help were sent out. but no power could
have prevented the destruction of the
Spry yards and in u few minutes they
ERE a roaring furnace.
The flames leaped almost across the
river and set fire TO the Ashland Ave-
u bridge, which fell into the river
fifteen minutes after it began to blaze.
A fire company which crossed the
bridge after it caught had several
men slightly scorched. In the slips
adjoining the fire were several vessels,
all of which had narrow escapes.
The losses are estimated as follows:
spry Company, $95, 900; Mclean, 3d.
900: Farrell, $4,000. All are protected
by insurance.
Sixty acres in the lumber distric.
are still smouldering. Streams of
water were being Doured on the ruins
all day. The total loss is now esti.
mated ut Z, 1000, 600, mostly insured.
Over 1000 men are thrown out OF

SOUTH DAKOTA CROPS RUINED.
Recent Hot Winds and Continued Drouth
Too Much.

eSS
Notwithstanding the reports that
crops in South Dakota are yielding
fairly we'll. they are u failure. After
each little rain which have been very
infrequent. reports have been sent out
that the crops were greatly revived,
but the long drouth, intense heat and
the scorching winds have doEe their
deadly work. Speaking generally,
wheat will not average four bushels to
the acre: oats may average eight
bushels: barley will yield probably six
bushels: corn, which was in the finest
condition possible the last OF June, is
now just about a failure. The hot wind
of the past two weeks catching the
corn in tassel has burned the life out
of it; with plenty of rain flax would be
half a crop: late mil]et, potatoes and
thing in the vegetable line, but they
longer. The small grain harvest is
practically over, and In some cases the
farmers have already threshed their
grain. The quality is very good. but
the quantity is small. There are spots
over the state where crops will about
average with last year, but they are
few. Beginning about ten miles south
of Sioux Falls there is a strip of coun-
try twenty miles wide which has been
wonderfully blessed with rain. The
strip extends through Lincoln and
Union Counties. The crops are good
in that strip, and farmers feel conf
dent of getting twenty bushels of
wheat to the acre and twenty-five
bushels of oats. Crops last year were
not considered good, but they were
much better than the crops of this
