Denver, Colo, oct. 1-Reports from
the western portion of the state con-
tinue to tell Of the ravaEes Of the for
est fires, which bid fair to devastate
the greater part Of the forests of the
state. A special from Glenwood
Springs, the center of the burning dis
trict, says:
THE fires in the mountains near
here have taken fresh life. owing to
high winds. The sun has been nearly
obscured all day, and the atmosphere
is heavy with smoke.
THE fire east Of Glenwood Springs is
fortunately in an unsettled portion of
the county, and aside from the i'm
mense loss by the burning timber, no
loss has occurred up to the present
time. The stock on the range, as far
as heard from, has escaped the fire"
A special from Montrose Colo, says:
The forest fires southeast of town about
25 miles have now reached large pro-
portions and can be plainly seen from
town. The range between Hairpin,
Messa and Sawtooth mountain is near
ly devastated.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. POSTMASTER
Wills received a letter from General
Shafter yesterday in which he says:
"The attacks of the yellow press upon
me and others of the administration
are simly outrageous. The articles are
filled with untruths. The behavior of
some of the yellow journalists was so
outrageous before we even got into
Cuba that l had to put my hand on
them, and after we got into Cuba 1t
was still worse. Their letters are the
result of personal spite. l am very
fond of Evans (pension commissioner,
and am very glad that you are Defend
ing him. Some of the G. A. r, are
simply unbearable, and seem TO think
If they can't have the treasury turned
over to them they are being defrauded."

Ratchford Does Not Expect sUrike.
Indianapolis, Oct. IN. d. Ratchford,
president of the Mine Workers union,
says that the report of an impending
general strike among the miners is un-
true. There will be no general strike,
said Mr.. Ratchford, during the life of
the Chicago agreement which lasts un-
til next May. What will happen in
the future no one can tell There Will
be no trouble anywhere as long as the
operators live up to the contract, and
the organization will protect them
There will be local strikes wherever the
operators violate that agreement, but
as far as this office is advised there
is nothing of that kind in prospect
now"

to bed when he suffers from a trivial indi-

strong effort he can add column of figures

They are the warnings of serious sickness.
A man who promptly heeds them, and re-

BAZILLE MAY SUE.
County VIII Not Pay His Claim for
Clerk Hire.

Clerk Hire.
The county commissioners last evening dis
allowed Abstract Clerk Bazi,le's claim Of
$500 for clerk hire, and he will be obi cd
to sue the county for the money. He ap-
peared before the commissioners and offered
to compromise the claim for 81, 000 but Coun-
ty Attorney Anderson advised the comm s.
soners that If the claim was good Mr.. Ba-
lille was entitled to receive every cent OF
it, and if it was not good, then he was not
entitled to cent. He believed the matter
should be tested In the courts, and after a
lengthy executive session the commissioners
decided to allow Mr.. Bazille to sue if he SO
desires.
All the commissioners were present and
Mayor Kiefer presided. Mr. Bazille appeared
and explained his case. He said that when
ne took office the law Of =. 1891 was in force,
and he paid two clerks $1,000 a year, with
the understanding that the county would re-
imburse him. There was a change in the
Jaw governing salaries and fees, and law
of 1885 was re-enacted Under that law he
would have been entitled to $500. But. he
was willing to let the matter go if the coun-
ty would pay back to him what he pad to
the clerks. He said that the clerks would
not be entitled to recover the amount of their
salraies from the county because the county
did not pay them.
Mr. Anderson contended that there should
be full settlement of tust claim, or
loss OF every cent of the claim If it was
not legal, and he argued that a proposition
to compromise the matter looked as though
justice.
The board went into executive session and
decided to follow Mr.. Anderson's advice.
Sheriff Wagner presented claim for s22-
600 for fees which he has turned into the
county treasury, instead of keeping. He
claims that while his Office was a fee office
It was changed to a salaried office Illegally.
He obeyed the new law and accepted a salary.
but now, 1t is alleged. he is not entitled to
the salary, and he wants his fees and all the
money he had turned into the county
The matter was referred to the committee
on claims.

The contractors having the work in
charge have just completed the Middle
river ditch in Polk county, the last Of
the irrigating bitches of the Red river
valley, being constructed under an ap-
preparation made by the last session of
the legislature.
The commission will make a trip Of
inspection next week
In round numbers 100000 has been
appropriated by two sessions of the
legislature, and the last appropriation
which became available directly after
the session Of 1897, has been entirely
exhausted and no more improvements
can be put on the system Of waterways
and irrigation in the Red river valley
until the next legislature meets, when
1t will be asked to make liberal APP
preparation for this purpose.
The river bed of the Red river is
higher than the surrounding country,
and the bitches are constructed in To-
calities where they can best be utilized
in drawing the water off toward the
lard. The long droughts in this locality
have made irrigation necessary and the
efforts Of the farmers, who have built
lateral bitches from their lands to the
main bitches, thus securing a reliable
and almost perfect system Of irrigation
The Middle river ditch just completed
by the commission has required nearly
two years to construct it, owing to the
fact that the land through which it
runs is of clay soil and being very
heavy and sticky, it is impossible to
make rapid progress. The work has
been completed satisfactorily 1T is said
and while on the ground the state
drainage commission will investigate
the needs of other sections of the val
Il nf
the legislature.
The great benefit which these bitches
have wrought to the Red river valley,
will necessitate quite a large appro-
priatfon to carry on the work next year,
as there are two counties which have
received very little assistance from the
state In this direction, and these will
not be left out in the suggestions which
will be made by the comm ssion in re-
viewing the work accomplished, and
that which could be undertaken with
expediency before the legislature next
winter.
Ezra G.. Valentine, president Of the
commission, is at present in the East
on business, and as soon as he returns,
probably in a few days, the commiss on
will meet in ST. Paul and make tour
OF the Red river valley counties.
1t is not improbable that Gov. Ciough
may accompany the commission this
time, although on former trips he has
been represented by his private secre-
tary, Roland Hartley.
