GREAT FIRE AT BEAUMONT.
OH Region Abiaze and May be Entirely
 Destroyed.

Beaumont, Tex, Sept. 12.-The oil field is on fire and, judging by the great volume of smoke which is flowing in from Spindle Top, there is grave danger that great loss will be sustained, if the field shall not be entirely destroyed. The fire started early in the evening in some waste oil along the Texas and Sabin tfacks and burned about sixty feet of trestle. This was got under con trol and it was believed that all danger had passed, but in the meanwhile the fire, in some way. had been communi- cated to the field and several huge set ting tanks, containing thousands of barrels of petroleum, have already ex- ploded and others are reported as being in the direct line of the fire which has spread over wide area already. The ground is saturated with oil and there is no chance for stopping the progress of the flames tonight. The fire is spreading rapidly and it is believed that the whole field will be ignited be- fore daylight.
 A telephone message from Gladys, which is the station at the old field, says the whole of the Keith Ward tract, em- bracing several acres and containing large number of wells, has been burn ed over and it is believed that some of the wells have caught although this is not positively determined, as no one can approach to find. out.
 At o'clock the big tanks belonging to the Higgins Co. are burning. Run ners have been sent out in every di- rection. The streets are filled with people. thousands of them now on the way to the field.
 A statement issued to-day shows that there are 40 producing wells in the field some of which are buried under earth to safeguard against fire.
 At 80 o'clock this morning (Friday) the telegraph operator at Gladys says he fears that he will soon be compelled to leave his post and all means of com tmunication will be cut off,

DROUGHT IN ARKANSAS.
Section q state where there Has
Been No Moisture since
Last April.

Kansas City, No., March 24..In an
effort to relieve the condition of set
tiers in the drought-stricken section
of northern Arkansas steps were
taken Saturday at the live stock ex-
change to raise contributions to pur-
chase provisions for the suffering peo-
pie. A general appeal is to be made
to the people of Kansas City.
A deplorable story of want and des-
titution was brought from Arkansas
by A. Il. Doss, of Handy, Sharp county,
one of the five counties in which the
suffering is most intense. He says:
''Since last April there has not been a
good rain in our section. What little
vegetation the sun did not dry up was
nipped by the fall frosts. myself tried to
raise peas. kaffir corn and turnips, which,
better than corn and wheat, can stand a
drought. but even these were failure.
The kaffir corn grew only foot high and
the peas not more than six inches. The
people had absolutely no source Of income.
They have had neither food nor water for
their stock, and finally, when reduced to
the extremity where they had no food for
themselves, were forced to sell their cattle,
horses and mules. Their present condition
can hardly be described. Many families
have subsisted for days on acorns alone"
The drought condition extends
northward across the Missouri line
from Arkansas.

TELEPHONE SUBSCRIBERS WIN
Michigan Telephone Company Must
Give Full Service to Subscribers s
Of Old Company.

Detroit, Mich, March 24.-The
Wayne circuit court, sitting en- banc
Saturday, granted mandamus re-
quiring the Michigan Telephone COM
pany to extend to the remaining sub
scribers of the late Detroit Telephone
company, which was absorbed by the
Michigan company( it's full service and
connections. For time after the alb
sorption the Michigan company ex-
tended it's full service to the subscrib-
ers of the Detroit company. Michigan
rates were cut to the same figure as
charged by the Detroit company and
most of the subscribers to the lat
ter company then put in Michigan tel
ephones, which were superior. Several
months ago, when the Michigan COM
pany installed new switchboard and
raised its rates, the few remaining De-
troit company subscribers were cut
off from full service and given connec-
stions only with each other. They petit
toned for the mandamus. The case
will be appealed to either the state SUI
preme court or the United States
courts.

In the vast tropical forests that
clothe the banks of the Amazon river
and its tributaries there are gathered
every year $4,000 tons of rubber, and
100000 laborers are engaged in get
ting it out. This requires the tapping
of some 24.000.000 trees. and, as the
rubber trees are scattered through
the woods, with an average of two
trees to the acre, it may be taken
that since the beginning of the sea-
son in last August 5O,OOO,OOO acres Of
Amazonian forest have been worked
for rubber.
