there is little chance to fight the fire.
The fire is working in the general di-
rection of southeast.
Boulder. Colo. Sept 2G.-(Denver
Republican Speclal)-An entirely new
forest fire has broken out in Boulder
county 1t is not in any manner con-
nected with the Eldora fire, as it is
several miles north of il 1t is in the
/ heavy timber near Arapahoe peaks,
in what is known as the Silver Lake
district
William F. Stewart and parties who
own the Silver Lake mines, discovered
the fire Tuesday evening, some time
after having been visited by a
stranger who came to borrow some to-
bacco. Mr. Stewart believes that
when the man lit his pipe of tobacco,
carelessly threw away the lighted
match and thus caused tine fire. Others
believe the fire was of incendary ori-
gin.
Mr.. Stewart and party fought the
fire until o'clock yesterday morning.
They had 10 get out OF the neighbor
hood of circuitous route, rs the fire
was along the regular road. 1t is be-
lieved the shaft house and cabin as
well as the cabins of many other min
ers in that vicinity have all been de-
stroyed.
The fire is the fiercest ever known in
this county. The timber there was
lighter and thicker than at Eldora.
There are Il number of people from
Boulder beyond the fire. but they can
not be communicated with. 1t is not
feared that they will be injured, as
they can escape to the north and west.

On the Way to Manila

Tho reported marriage of sixty
teachers on the way to Manila Is af-
fording fun for the paragraphers. A
Chicago paper says:
"The federal matrimonial bureau
known as the agency to secure teach
ers to go to Manila under the Taft
Commission wants some more for
early shipment. Already there are
runners that some of those who mar
ried in haste on arriving on the trans
port at Honolulu on their way to the
Philippines are repenting at leisure
The next batch should secure anti
marriage insurance in advance of sail
ing or divorce certificates in blank for

more confident now that it will remain
on this side of the Atlantic yet IL
while longer.
Certainly the Columbias superiority
in light airs appears to have been dem

not, in fact. make as good showing as
did Lipton's first challenger in the
half dozen fukes that preceded the
actual races two years ago. What
Shamrock may be able to do in heavy
weather is, of course. problematical,

her admirers insist that she is distinct

then Columbia's ability in heavy

again. The harder it blows the faster
she goes and the better she behaves.

as follows:

THE PROPOSED WASHINGTON M0NU-
MENT.-The following is an excerpt
from the report OF the committee on
coinage of the u. s. House of Repre-
septatives on the bill to coin tokens
from the proceeds OF the sale of which
il is said a monument to General Wash-
ton will be erected 10 this city:
1.-THE matter is 10 the hands OF the
Washington Monument Association, Of
Alexandria, w., al association com"
posed of q number of leading business
men of that city, which Is chartered
under the laws OF Virginia, their object
being to erect memorial monument TO
Washington, as q citizen. Ia his home
town on the centenary of bis death.
The plan proposed is TO erect monu'
ment upon pedestal with special de-
sjgn for each side thereof, showing
Washington as he was known ID tnat
old historic city. Here In 1749 he
helped survey the town (the sesqui-
centennial of which event was recently
celebrated there). Here in IVA he
was member of the Friendship Fire
Company, to which company be pre-
scented fire engine: the 90 COM
psny still keeps up its organlz ,tion.
Here in 1888 he was made worshipiul
master of Alexandria Lodge, No. %,
A.. f. and A. NJ. This historic lodge,
now known as Alexsndria-W Washington
Lodge, still has many relics oil WASH
ingtoo. and the chair occupied by him
as master is still used for that purpose.
Almost In view OF Alexandria lies
Mount Vernon, where Washington
showed his appreciation OF agriculture
Us the foremost farmer of bis day. IL
was in Alexandria that Washington al
teodsd court, voted, visited, built bis
business office, transacted his large sf-
fairs and attended church, contributing
largely toward the erection OF old Christ
Church, OF which he was vestryman.
Here. too, he endowed free scboo,-
among the fret in this coun,ry-
which still continues as monu-
ment to his patriotism. Every
memory that ciogs around the
Father of his Country is associated with
this old city. 1t is not an unnatural
sentiment that actuates these people 10
their desire to commemorate the mem
ory of their greatest citizen as he was
known among their fathers. While
the city council and the people of Alex.
apdria have responded literally toward
this fund and promise to do more, still
the association, feeling unable to do
Justice to the occasion and the mao.
with the funds at their command, ap
piled to Congress, as shown by the bill
AL presented, to have struck at the
mint Washington memorial half dol
lar, aud offered to defray all the ex-
pense of material and mintage, hoping
10 sell the same to coin collectors at q
premium.
