Themselves Out.


Themselves Out.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Sept 3d.
SpeciaL)-The forest fire is approach
ing close to the city of Stanley, Chip
pewa county. The Northwestern Lum-
Der company, Of that city, reports q
loss of 100000 feet of pine and hard
wood timber. The same company owns
the logging railroad through the burn
ing district, eighteen miles, and is send
ing out men on this road on fiat cars
with tanks Of water and making a.
desperate effort to save the timber
The city OF Stanley is enveloped in
smoke, and the citizens are working
heroically to save the town.
Fires are burning all along the Wis
consin Central tracks between Withee
and Lombard in Clark county, and
Bloomer, in Chippewa county, is threat
ened. Eight farm houses near the VIII
lage have been destroyed.
The G. L. & B. Co., Chippewa Log
glng company and Mississippi Logging
company, each having offices in this
city and known as the pool COM
panies, Frederick Weyerhaeuser presi-
dent, own nearly all the pine which is
being destroyed. Manager Irvine states
tonight that it Is yet impossible to
give an estimate Of the amount of pine
already burned, but he says the loss
Is enormous. Many loggers of this
clty, who have lumber camps in the
lire district in which were stored log
glng outfits, report everything burned.

Idaho, 1.-The GEN."
From the Salt Lake Christmas Herald.

Aa"'t a'S S1e Lake christmas Herald.
Miss Idaho pauses on the thresh-
hold OF the new year. Standing in
regal robes she watches the spry
young 1898 chase bent and bearded
1897 to its death; she hears the
pealing Of the Christmas bells and
as she awaits the death knell of the
old year she glances swiftly back
over her achievements of the past
year-and her heart swells with
pride, for to her it is a crown Of
glory set with IL gems Of rare bril-
liancy. Proudly she holds her head
She has won an honored place in
the sisterhood of states, and she
feels her Importance. Before hel
vision passes a pageant of glittering
splendor. Emblazoned on its ban
ners are inscriptions, telling the
story of the year, and as she reads
she resolves that the next record
shall be even greater, grander.
And indeed, Idaho's record for
1897 is one that the people of the
state need not be ashamed of. In
those II short months the growth
OF the state as a whole has been
fattering, while the advancement
of sections of it has been nothing
short of phenomenal.
In the northern part of the state
the people have experienced a sea-
son of great prosperity and they
have taken advantage of it to up
build their respective localities.
