FORESTS ON FIRE
GREEN RIVER VALLEY A ROLL
ING SEA OF FLAME.
Spark From an Engine Started the
CONFEDERATION, Which Destroyed
Nearly Everything in It's Path.
Full Extent of Damage Cannot
Now Be Estimated.

Hot Spr ings, June 21.-The worst
fire that ever swept the valley OF the
Green river began as spark from Il
passing engine dropped into some brush
along side the track of the railroad one
mile west OF Lester. A strong east
wind famed this tiny spark, which in
"a hours has accumulated force and
grown to be seething mass of flames
more than 20 miles in length, sweeping
across the highest ridges of the Cascades
and feeding upon the splendid timber
that grows in such luxurious abundance
in all the length of the valley of the
beautiful Green river. The fire ragged
with relentless fury sparing in its
course only the little valley of the Hot
Springs and the Kloeber hotel and SAN
itarium and all the outbuildings. This
was saved only by the most stubborn
and persistent fight.
The hotel people were aided in their
fight by a fire engine which was hur-
riedly dispatched from Tacoma on re-
quest OF DR.. kloeber.
Down the valley the people Jared not
so well. Deans camp was destroyed,
and the Morgan logging camp was
burned. The fire reached haywood in
three hours, and at midnight reached
Eagle gorge -, miles west of here,
where it is reported the camp of the
Page Lumber Company is destroyed.
The scene from the veranda of the
Green River Hot Springs hotel is grand
beyond description. The mountains
present one great mass of flame and
smoke rapidly passing down the valley.
The full extent of the loss cannot be
estimated at this time 1t is known
that no lives are lost, although many
narrow escapes are known to have oc-
cured, chiefly among the crews of the
railroad men, who have so persistently
fought the fire all day, and although
tired and worn from their hard days
work, are still on duty. 1t is now
known that Pages lumber camp is de-
stroyed. This camp employed about 1875
men. The Burlington passenger train
No. 6, of the Northern Pacific railway,
had an excitinsg run through the fire
after leaving Canton.
The engineer brought them safely
through although the coaches were
scorched and the passengers were badly

followed by a reception at the palace,
and in the evening there was a grand
st. Lucia's Sulphur Mountain.

The Island Of ST. Lucia, not far from
Martinique, has a volcano, until lately
supposed to be extinct, that Is known
as the Sulphur Mountain. 1t has an ele-
walton Of 1000 feet above sea level,
while the crater covers about four acres
Of surface. The sides of this volcano
are barren of trees and herbs, and COW
cred by thick deposits of sulphur
Formerly it belonged to France, and
Louis XIV. built, at great expense, an
immense sanitarium around the boiling
springs Oh its northern slope, the ruins
of which are still standing. 1t was at
the time believed that the waters had
certain curative and medicinal quail
ties, but afterward this was found to
be untrue. and the sanitarium remained
untenanted, and a monument to mis-
placed and mistaken judgment.

THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MINI
Frs MAY QUIT.
Conference Will Be Held on July Il.
at Which Action Will Be Taken
That May Result DisastrOusIy to
industry in the United States and
Bring on a Climax.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 19.-Presi-
dent Mitchell has issued a call for a
joint convention of hard and soft coal
miners. a strike of 300 900 soft coal
men to assist the anthracite men in
their struggle may result This would
tie up the entire coal industry of the
United States and bring a climax to the
strike OF anthracite men.
The convention will be held in In
dianapolis. The call was made upon
the acquiescence of five districts of the
United Mine Workers, that number be-
ing necessary to issue such call.
Mitchell says that from all parts OF
the country reports have been received
OF sympathy, including even the Pacific
Northwest where the miners are not at
present affiliated with the mine work
ers of America.
BY a sympathetic strike of the soft
coal miners every industry in the coun-
try would be directly affected 1t has
been the evident policy of the operators
to allow the strike to drift with the
possibility that the miners organiza-
ton might be broken by long suspen-
sion.
In the meantime the anthracite of
the country has become exhausted and
a supply of soft coal rushed into the
markets. The miners, having played
their last card in the anthracite field,
necessarily turned to bituminous men
for aid
