Fires on the Canadian
Border.
SET BY TIMBER THIEVES.
Their Purpose to Conceal Their
Stealing.
HUMAN LIVES SACRIFICED
And Millions of Dollars Worth of
Valuable Property Swept
Out of Existence.

ST. PAUL, Sept. S.-The Duluth mail
carrier from Rainy River brings news that
the fires on the Canadian border last week
killed nearly twenty-five Iersons. The
mail-carriers between Tower and Rainy
River had several narrow escapes.
CHICAGO, Sept S.-A special from St
Cloud, Mimi, says there are intimstions
that the State Senatorial commit ee,
which for months has been investigating
the frauds against the State in cut lug

show astonishing evidence MT nnlyt at
timber pirates eppr priated millions of
dollars wuIth Of lumber belonging to the
State, but il tryi'g to cover up their steal
ings started the fires which resulted in the
terrible loss of life and prcpiry in Pine,
Carson and other counties. 1t is charged
that the lumbermen fired the lands
which they impr perly cleared TO render
the measurement IF stumpage impossible,
and thereby shut off the suits which
the commission night attempt to bring
against them. In one of the chief
hotels at ST. Cloud scout employed by
the commission to ferret out the cases of
lnmber thieving has declared he had Sc
cured sworn evidence that millions of feet
of lumber have been stolen, and as soon as
1t had been cut the umbermen had in
structed their emI lOyes to burn the ground
over and make a good clean Job of it,"
A torch thrust here and there into piles
of "tOppings" in such dry season as this
starts fire that eats the stumps from
which the lumber is cut down to Jumps Of
charcoal, and when the gaugers of the
commission come to measure the stump
age on the ravaged school lands they are
left with absolutely no basis for calculat-
ing the amount of lumber stolen. This is
what the crooked lumbermen want, but
in starting these fires they made altogether
too clean job The fires have spread
over 1000 square miles of country. They
have destroyed nobody knows how many
hundreds of human lives and devoured
$25, 900, ,000 worth of property. Whether or
not 1t can be proved that these fires grew
out of little ones kindled by timber
pirates," there is a loud demand through
the pine country that the manner of cut
ting pine tim ber be severely regulated.

Democratic tinkering. Mr.. Esiee said:
'The Democrats say that they have in
heriied the burden of Republican mis-
deeds and that this has been the cause of
the trouble. l say, in reply, that the
country was prosperous when the Demo-
cratS came into power. The country is
not prosperous now. Are the Republicans
10 blame for the mismanagement of the
country by the Democratic party?"
Touching on the Populists, Mr.. Estee
said that they were more inclined toward
Tree trade even than the Democrats, for
the latter believed in some sort of tariff,
but tho others believe in none. Were the
Populists in power. said Mr.. Estee, their
doctrines would utterly ruin the Govern
ment
e. He maintained the Republican party
stood square against the funding bill, and
he ana his party were in favor of Govern
erument control Of railroads. He de-
nounced the funding bill IS a Democratic
