Spokane, Wash, July 25.--A Nelson,
B. c., special to the Spokesman Review
says:
The forest fires which have been rag
ing in the Slocum mining country for
the past two weeks were famed into a
confiagration by the heavy gales yes
terday, and swept eastward from New
Denver The towns of Three Forks and
Watson were completely destroyed, not
a building being left. The losses cam
not yet be ascertained, but will run
into large figures. The Galena Trading
Company and Lemons store at Three
Forks saved nothing, even the books
being destroyed. George Hugh, the
well known mine owner, loses about
500, 900. All his horses, wagons, stables,
etc. were burned. So far as known,
no lives were lost, although there were
many narrow escapes. The people Of
Watson were saved by taking refuge in
a tunnel.

Moscow, Idaho, July 25.--Prof. AL
drich, entomologist of the agricultural
experiment station here, has investi-
gated the grain appis. 1t is found all
through this section, there being hardly
a field free from it. The number Of In
sects which devour 1t has been found,
and as result there win probably be
a rapid dIminution in number. The win
ter wheat is SO far advanced as to be
practically out Of reach Of the pest.
and the same is true Of much Of the
spring wheat. Prof. A;5rich believes
that the appis win do no serious dam
age to the crop.
