PITTsBURG, PA, September s. S.-Pltts-
burg and Allegheny are one mass OF
waving fluttering, patriotic colors to-
day.
A heavy rain storm last night did con-
siderable damage TO the decorations. To-
day the sun shoue brilliantly and
the prospects are for bright weather
during the whole OF the q. A. h en-
campment week. As result the dam
aged decorations are being torn down
and replaced by new material, and In
many cases more gorgeous and costly
designs are substituted.
The streets are rapidly filling up
with visitors, and the modest blue uni
form OF the @. A. r. is very much In
evidence. Every train coming into the
city adds, to the influx, the early ar
rivals consisting mainly OF veterans
with their families. Tonight several
organizations Of naval veterans arrived.
They will be Quartered on steamboats,
on the Monongahela river, and Will live
during their stay here In the same
manner, so far as possible, as they did
when seeing active service of some be
leagured Atlantic coast city. Arrange
ments have been made TO entertain
2, 600 Of these ancient mariners.
Tomorrow big crowds are expected,
and on Monday the visiters will come
by tens of thousands. The early trains
of Tuesday will bring enormous throngs
from the nearer cities and towns.
The police are closely scrutinl5Ing
every arrival, and fakirs and crooks
-, kafr nf -
next train out OF town or going TO the
workhouse. Tomorrow the local po-
lice will be assisted by large out-of-
town corps OF detectives, representing
almost every prominent city In the
country.
At least half the churches In the two
cities will be given up tomorrow to the
veterans. Army Chaplains will occupy
a numb of the pulpts, and the local
pastors hove generally selected subjects
likely TO be OF interest TO the old SOL
dier.
Preparations are being made for the
big parade on Tuesday. Iron posts are
being set up at the curb all along the
route, and wire rope will be stretched
along to keep the crowds of the road
way. Inc mdyOTSOl tue IWO CltleS nave
issued a proclamation to the citizens
asking that Tuesday be observed as a
holiday In all the manufacturing plants.
This request will be generally obeyed,
and 1t is estimated that at least half a
million persons will see the parade. To
afford ready relief TO veterans who
may be overcome by sickness or fatigue,
during the march. or spectators who
may be injured In the crowd, temporary
hospitals with physicians and trained
assistants have been established along
Lhe route under the charge Of the sur
geon OF the National Guard OF Pennsyl-
vania.
There Is no lack OF funds for the
suitable entertainment Of the old SOL
dlers and their friends. A sum OF
1925, 900 has been raised for the pur-
pose. OF this SIS, 600 was subscribed by
citizens, $50, 900 was appropriated by
the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny,
add the balance was raised by the sale
OF privileges, etc.

Timber Pirates" Believed TO Be Re
sponsibIe for the Loss af Life aud Prop
srtY.
ST. CLOUD, MINI, September s.
There are intmations that the State
Senatorial Committee, which mas been
Investigating the frauds against the
State in the cutting OF pine from school
lands, will be able TO show astonishing
evidences that the timber pirates" not
only have appropriated millions OF dol
lars worth of lumber belonging TO the
State, but that in trying TO cover up
their stealngs they have started fires
which have resulted 10 the terrible loss
of life and property in the pine belt.
Members of the committee have al
ready declared that they have discov-
cred large frauds against the State, and
now it is expected that they will probe
into the causes OF the fires which have
swept the whole pine country. Tne
charge is that the lumbermen have fired
the lands which they have Improperly
cleared to rendes stumpage impossible
and thereby shut off any suits which
the commission might attempt TO bring
against them.
The lumbermen in cutting timber
leave great piles Of "toppings" all
through the woods, and beside that all
the smaller trees and underbrush are
left untouched. A torch thrust here
and there into the piles Of "toppings"
in such dry season as this starts a tre-
mendous fire that burns over the whole
half cleared area and eats the stumps
from which lumber has been cut down
TO Jumps of charcoal, and when the
gaugers of the commission come 10
measure the stumpage on the school
lands they are left with no basis for
calculating the amount OF lumber sto-
len. This is what the crooked lumber
men want, but in starting these fires
they have made altogether too 'clsAn a
job" of it.. the fires have spread over
1000 square miles of country; they have
destroyed hundreds OF human lives;
they have devoured $50, 900, 900 worth OF
property.
