DESTRUCTIVE PRAIRIE FIRES.
Farmers and Ranchers Lose Heavily in,
. South Dakota.

Huron, S. D., Jan. 17-Reports
from Tuesdays prairie fire in the
western part of this, Beadle, county,
indicate that the losses are very heavy
to farmers and stockmen, many Of
them losing their entire supply of hay
and feed, besides cattlesheds and
barns.
The wind was blowing so to 60
miles an hour when the citizens turned
out and fought the flames away from
Wolsey. A special train from this city
was sent out by the Chicago & North
western Railway Co., with fire fighters
and they will help those from Wolsey
to extinguish the flames a few miles
east of Wolsey.
The burned area is from two to five
miles wide and from 10 to IL miles
long, in which are located many pros
porous farmers and stockmen, some OF
whom lost all their hay and feed and
also the barns and stock sheds.

CAN'T FIGHT IN T
Jeffries-Ruhlin Managers Given Cold Com
fort by Governor.

The people who. are trying to find a
state where the Jeffries- Rubin prize
fight can take place without inter-
ferece on the part of the officers of
the law, says the Record, appear to
have imagined that Montana would
gladly welcome the prize fighters.
The Cincinnati Post yesterday tele-
graphed to Governor Toole:
"Please wire us whether you would
allow Jeffries and Rubin to fight a
limited number of rounds in your
state in case the fight is prevented
here"
In reply the governor wired this
gentle hint.
''If the Jeffries and Rubin fight
contemplates a violation Of the laws
of this state, it is fair to presume that
the peace officers of Montana can be
relied upon to do their duty.

WITH THE LEGISLATORS.
Bill to Establish a System of Food
Inspection.

.. AASF~SNN -
Among the important bills intro
duced in the state legislature are the
following:
Senator Hoffman's bill on pure
food seeks to establish a system of
food inspection at the experiment. sta
ton. Spices, condiments and all food
articles that contain foreign substance
es are placed under the ban, and the
manufacturers and agents are made
criminally liable where adulterated
food is sold without having the in
gradients printed Oh the outside of
the package. The bill will carry with
it an appropriation to enable the Off
GERS of the experiment station to carry
out the provisions Of the bill in MAX
ing tests of spices, cheese and all
other food products that are frequent
ly adulterated.
Senator Kennedy's bill requiring
railway company's to vestibule the
front Of their cars or afford protection
to motormen or drivers is similar to
a law that has recently been enacted
in many of the eastern states. A bill
having the same object IN view has
been introduced in the house by Rep
resentative Stull.
Senator Geiger's bill providing for
the appointment of fire wardens in
counties where SO per cent of the tax
payers vote to create the Office and
dividing counties into fire districts, is
calculated to prevent forest fires in
those localities where there is a large
amount Of standing pine. The pay
of the fire warden while engaged in
suppressing forest fires is placed at
So per day and he may call to his as
s%istance any number Of citizens that
he deems necessary at a compensation
Of $3 per day. In case there is no fire
warden, the road supervisor is given
powers corresponding to those Of a
regularly elected fire warden and he
is authorized to call to his assistace
any number of deputies. The bill is
regarded as a m%eritorious one mas
much as forest fires destroy a great
amount of timber every year. In
other lumber producing states many
thousands of dollars are spent every
year protecting the forests from de-
struction by fire. Where no precau-
tion is taken to guard against it,
large areas are denuded by fire, and
the state is an equal loser with in.
dividuals; in fact, the state would
lose more by forest fire in this state
than individuals or corporations, as
some of the best timber is held by the
state.
Senator Mahon's bill relating to the
appointment of deputy clerks of courts
takes the appointment of deputies ou'
Of the hands Of the clerk of the cour'
and gives the appointive power to tn
judge or judges of the district court
Senator Mitchell's bill provides fo'
the protection of land and irrigation
canals from ranging stock. 1t pro
vides that no stock shall be ranged OF
an irrigation canal for more than q
hours, and also that it shall be il
legal for any person to drive cattl'
on to any property where there is
fence surrounding it, or wen enough
:, evidence to show that it had beel
