FIRE RANGERS APPOINTED
They Begin Systematic Crusade Against
Wyoming 0oniagratiSn.
INTERIOR DEPARTMENT SENDS ITS ORDERS
IL L. Better II Now to Direct work,
Having Received Omcial Reports,
aud Also Communication
from Governor.

SARATOGA, Wye, Sept. l6.-(Special)-
c. W. Garbutt. superintendent Of forest
reserves for Wyoming, South Dakota and
Nebraska, is here to investigate the recent
forest fires in this section and extinguish
those now burning.
As the fire on Brush creek has again
broken out, as well as a new one on Doug
las creek, superintendent Garbutt has
asked permission of the department to
appoint rangers, one to take charge Of each
fire, which was granted. william r. Bran
ford and Shellie Wood were selected and
they have organized forces and repaired
to the scenes of the fires.
The Brush creek FIRE has gained con-
siderable Roadway again, owing to the high
wind Of the last few days. This FIRE vas
~extinguished by Captain N. j. O'Brien Of
Denver, and when he went away he asked
for permission to appoint guards to patrol
the forest to prevent the fire breaking
out afresh, but this request was denied by
the department.
The fire on Douglas creek is a new one
and has gained such Roadway that 1t will
be a difficult problem to extinguish 1t
before snow flies. 1t has a front Of eight
miles and is confined to the dense timber.
Ranger Branford says 100 men could not
put 1t out were they to fight the flames for
weeks. So far as known there are no min
ing camps or ranches in the path OF the
fire and outside of the destruction Of val
liable timber the damage will not be heavy.
Another fire has broken out in the coun-
try along the South Fork Of -Encampment
river.
All Of southeastern Wyoming is covered
by a pail Of black smoke and at times
the sun is hidden from view. At night
the moon resembles a huge ball of fire
and is a blood red in color.

From Governor Richards.

CHEYENNE, wyo., Sept. 16.-Governor
Richards has been informed by telephone
from Grand Encampment that for many
miles along the Wyoming Colorado line,
north of Pearl, Colo, a furious forest fire
is raging, devastating everything in its
path. Efforts to subdue the flames have
been exhausted without effect. Governor
Richards Immediately communicated with
Governor orman OF Colorado and arranged
for both to send a telegram to the secre-
tary OF the interior asking for aid.
According to the latest reports, there
are at least eighteen serious forest fires
burning in Wyoming, to say nothing Of
numerous smaller fires burning in southern
Albany county that are destroying great
swamps of fine pine timber in the Medicine
Bow range and threatening mining build
inRs.
Although a hundred miles away from
Cheyenne, the smoke from these fires OBJ
scures the sky here and the odor Of burn
ing wood is plainly noticeable.

from Superintendent Shelter, in charge Of
the forest reserve tracts in Washington

est Superintendent Garbutt Of Wyoming to
assist Supervisor Atherly Of the Crow
Creek reserve in fighting the fire reported
burning near Pearl, just south of the
Medicine Bow forest reserve. They will
employ a large number of men to assist
in the work. This is the only action the
department can take.
A new, forest fire that stretches over a
large area is reported in official circles
in South Platte forest reserve, which For
est Superintendent Nicholson and a large
force are working to extinguish. The dis
patches say the fire near Saratoga, Wyo.,
has been brought under control.

We notice that the Imperial Land of Imperial. San Diego coun- ty. does not advertise the price of water with their land these days. They used to do so, and its discontin- uance prompts LIS to ask the question; Has the price per share of water taken another jump of five or six dollars per acre per annum.-Reedly EXponant.
 The price of water stock in any one of the Imperial Water Companies has been fixed at SEQ share-one share to the acre. This price and the terms of payment are clearly stated in the il- lustrated pamphlet and other publica- tions sent out by the company.
 The Imperial Land Company is not advertising this stock for sale at the present time Agents for the company md others seeing that the price was gradually being advanced, purchased blocks of this stock as an investment md are now offering it for sale at prices less than the company's price. This price is being fixed to suit the the land on which it is to be located. If a settler locates in a piece of land that is a little rough he can get a concession on the price of the stock to offset the extra cost of the land.
 However it is said that the price of the stock is liable to be again advanced due notice of which will be given to the public.

Striking Oil.

Oil-the first on the Colorado desert has been struck at the Harper well. Rumors to this effect have been cir culating for some days, but the report is now automatically traced to a per sonal letter dated January z, from a man who had visited the well. He states that the drill is now down only 300 feet, and that at that depth there have been found traces of oil, in no great quantity as yet, but promising well for the future. The drill is work ing in soft shale, and the writer of the letter is positive that in the next three or four hundred feet good strike will be made The oil is of the best paraffine quality. This is the old Gail Borden we'll.

CAPTAIN PIKE INCONSISTENT

uClu, appeal Cu oOlO1 = oiiO COe.A ny
board at the meeting on Monday
and addressed the members adj
vising that the case which has
been pending for about two
years contesting the delivery of
the $4,000 of railroad aid bonds
to Henry Herman, eff Milwaukee,
and to the latter's associates,
among whom is Ex-senator ID.
M. Sabin, be dropped, and that
the bonds be turned over to Mr.
Herman, who in turn would be
willing to pay costs that have
accrued in the case to the
amount Of IS, 900. It is a little
surprising that a man of Captain
Pixies standing and well known
ability would make use Of the
old argument that was advanced
at the time the case was first
Instituted, which in effect is that
inasmuch as the bonds were
turned over by. the county board
for the portions Of the Sabin
railroads that were built from
Washburn and Iron River, that
it is any sufficient reason why
this additional batch Of $4,000
of Indebtedness should be ac-
copied. But we are Informed
that Captain Pike made just
such an argument, stating that
Washburn had it's road, and now
Bayfield, wants theirs. In all
fairness we would like to ask
Captain Pike whether or not he
or anyone else entertaining the
same views he has expressed,
has the least idea that it would
make one particle of difference
with the road whether the bonds
were turned over or not. The
road was built as was the Battle
Axe, ssto be continuously run and
operated as a railroad. " That
the Bayfield, branch has been
conducted on even looser lines
than was the Battle Axe is well
known. The road has been
operated to a very small extent,
and that entirely in the hauling
of logs. There are men today in
Bayfield, and throughout the
county that have not received
their pay for work done on the
road the present season. The
TIMES is, informed that the road
has not been in operation more
than onerhalf the time since it
was first built We are further
informed, and it is a matter Of
common knowledge that the line
has never been completed, and is
not a we'll regulated and well
running logging road, or any
other kind of a line worthy of
the name of a railroad, today.
Because Bayfield, county very
foolishly surrendered S185, 900
worth of it's best bonds that were
never earned is no reason why
Captain Pike, whether he is act
ing as disinterested party or
in some ones interest, should
ask the Bayfield, County Board
to surrender $4,000 worth of the
public assets. The case, we
understand, is about to come to
trial, and if the County is in any.
reasonable position to win, it
should be fought to a finish.
Captain Pixies argument is alb
solutely no argument at all, and
it is surprising that he should be
the author of such chat.

republican party of Wisconsin
