Michigan Forest Fires Checked, but Not
Entirely Extingusshed.
DETROIT, July l6-Forest fires in the
northern part of the lower peninsula OF
Michigan have been checked, but not ex-
tinguished, by gentle showers. The rain
area seems TO have extended from Cad
lilac, large lumber and manufacturing
along the line OF the Grand Rapids and
Indiana railroad through Petoskey, Bay
View. Wequetonsing, Harbor Point and
on TO Mackinaw City. Reports indicate
that in the forests the embers and many
of the pine trees are still aglow with fire,
but that the branches have been wetted
with rain and that for the next few days
there will be no further spread Of the
flames. But il downpour does not set
in within that limit the forest fires will
break forth again, and no one can esti-
mate how much damage they will do.
All the villages in the rain area are
still the scenes OF great activity. Men
armed with shovels and buckets are max
ing preparations to prevent the near ap-
proach of fires, II they break out again.

Arid Lands ca He Developed by Irrigation
and Eastern Colonists.
IL has been years since the cry OF
Westward, hov' has been heard in the
eastern states, and meantime the cities
and thriving manufacturing centers east
of the Mississippi have been rapidly fill
ing TO the point Of overcrowding until
labor is q drug on the market. Mining,
which attracted so many hundreds Of
people from the east many years ago,
has lost its glamour, hunting and trap
ping have too many devotees already to
encourage more TO enter this life today,
granger life ON the western scale re-
quires too much capital, and the too
plentiful foreclosure of western farm
mortgages has been discouraging TO
those who may have been considering
emigration. All these things have tend
ed TO stagnate the population OF the
east, and the result is alarming to all
concerned, capital and labor alike.
An opportunity has presented itself at
last through what is known as the Carey
law, passed by the Fifty third congress,
by which each of eight western states
was granted 10000 acres Of arid
lands located within their borders on
condition that they utilize them for
agriculture, through irrigation, and
prove to the secretary of the interior
that their irrigation plans are feasible.
Five of the eight states have accepted
the proposition, and one more is expect
ed to reply favorably before long. The
national irrigation congress, body
composed of delegates from % western
states, has appointed a national irriga-
tion commission, which body is engaged
in forming colonies to take up these arid
lands and carry them on by irrigation
under proper and scientific direction.
1t is the purpose of the commission to
form colonial clubs throughout the east
wherever there is a congestion OF popu-
lation, and these clubs will disseminate
information concerning the present and
future possibilities Of the western coun-
try. 1t is not intended to send out sep
arate families, which wonld certainly
become entangled in difficulties If not
properly directed. Whole colonies are
20 be organized and dispatched to favor
able localities, with men competent to
teach them the solution of the problem
of irrigation and agriculture. These
colonists it is proposed to organize on
the principles upon which the successful
Mormon colonies We're carried on. An
organization to be known as the Plym-
outh colony is now being formed to
take up lands in Idaho. Each member
of this colony is to furnish 81 900 CAPT
tai. The land is to be taken III small
holdings and the whole managed on
the basis Of cooperative village.

It's Future Greatness.

It's Future Greatness.
One of the newspapers of Columbus,
O., has been interviewing prominent
citizens as to their idea of the progress
the city will have made in 100 years
from the present time The answers re-
ceived are doubtless of small account as
prophecies, but it is interesting to note
what faith Americans have in the des-
TIMES which are to be wrought out III
the next century. The probable popula-
ton of Columbus in 1895 is set by most
of the guessers at 500, 600, though some
are inclined to venture a figure even as
high as 200, 600 souls. Tbs area Of the
city proper will include from IL to 20
square miles, and the taxable property,
reckoned on the present basis, will not
be less than 5000, 600, 900. The ground
for these large estimates of the probable
growth Of Columbus Is the fact that the
city is a railroad center, and as such Is
likely to increase rapidly in commercial
importance. Passenger transportation
in this millennium of the prophets will
be by means Of some sort of aerial navi
CATION, and the street railroads Of today
