TO STOP FOREST FIRES
Gen. G. G. Andrews Explains the

Lansing, Mich, Aug, 2S.-Before the
American Forestry association to-day
General C. C. Andrews, ex-minister to
Sweden, who is serving his eighth year
as chief forest fire warden of Minnesota,
contributed a paper on Minnesota's sys-
tenn for preventing forest fires. This
SYSTEM" he said, makes town super
visors fire wardens who can summon
males upwards of IS years Of age, to help
extinguish fires. central officer enforces
the law. County commissioners award the
pay for local service, the state contribut-
ing one third. Some counties are back
ward in paying and uncertainty Of pay is
the weakness Of the system. 1t would
be more effective If the state were to pay
two thirds and counties one-third. A
great forest fire cannot be eXtinguished
but can be prevented. The Minnesota
system has helped to educate the public
to better care Of the forests.
"Certainly there can be no such thing
as forestry unless forest fires are prevent

nesota, a forest fire was spread twelve
miles and was caused by two small boys
who set fire to dry grass to find lost

caused by children too young to be held
amenable to the law. This has made me
think that 1t might be advisable to intro

Helena, Mont, Aug. 2S.-After lying in

The interior department has ordered a
section of land Withdrawn from entry,
subject to the action Of congress in Great
ing national park. .--
The attention OF General Miles, who
commanded the troops at the memorable
last stand of Chief Joseph, was recently
called to the fact that the bodies OF
twenty-ene of his soldiers who were killed
in battle had not been removed to Fort
Keogh for interment, as he supposed but
were buried in a sort Of trench with only
a rude pile of stones to mark the spot
He sent Colonel Maus, his aide, to in
vestigate and upon becoming assured OF
the truth asked the interior department tc
withdraw the land about the spot from
entry. --. - ." '-..-. ...

troops occurred this morning and as
result five prisoners are in the guardhouse

tain j. Beaver Gearheart of Company F.
Twelfth regiment is suffering from a
wound on his shoulder made by a stone
thrown by a striker. This morning
report gained currency that the striking
men were gathering in force to make
march on the No. 4 colliery, where the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation company is
mining and cleaning coal. The colliery is
at the west end of the Panther Creek val
ley and the governors troop was ordered
to that point. Companies and K of
the Twelfth regiment were placed on troll
ley cars and run through the valley. When
the cars reached Summit Hill they were
surrounded by a mob OF strikers who
hurled rocks at the soldiers and called
them hard names. While Jimmy Mar
teen, an Italian, was in the act Of hurting
stone at car, several soldiers jumped
off and made an attempt to capture him.
Marteen offered resistance and the SOL
diers were compelled to fix their bayonets
In the melee which followed Marteen was
slightly wounded in the left side.
The troopers started back to camp and
as the cars rounded curve just outside
OF Summit Hill, at a point where the
tracks take an abrupt dip, the motorman
on the first car made the discovery that
the rails had been creased. The cars
were stopped and the soldiers were sent
ahead to place sand the rails. When
this had been done, it was possible by
moving the cars slowly to reach Lansford

tured Joseph Mccain, young miner.
They proceeded again, but had not
gone far when another crowd was en-
countered and the soldiers were again
taunted and stoned. Half dozen SOL
diers jumped off and captured three men

VERY LlTTLE IS BEING DONE.
StA*ps of the Work in the CoIIieries
Causes Apprehension.

Pittston, Pa, Aug. 2S.-The chances for
IN early resumption Of the mines in the
anthracite coal fields the same scale
as they were operated previous to the
strike of the mine workers are not very
good according to the outlook here. The
superintendents of the coal companies
practically admit that at the present rate
there Is no chance of getting the collieries
open for many weeks. Several Of the col
lieries have been started, but not one is
working at anything like it's capacity. At
each of these mines, it is admitted by the
companies, they have only about LOO men
at work, but the claim is made that they
are getting more every day. The colleries
working are the Oxford, Of the Peoples
Coal company: the Won Storch and Dick
son, Of the Delaware & Hudson; the Cay
uga, Dodge and Hampton, OF the Della
ware. Lackawana & Western in this city
and the Avondale of the latter company at
Kingston. The normal tonnage of these
mines during regular working time is / 900
tons per day, while at present they are
turning out about 300 tons.
While an average Of 5000 tons of mined
coal is being daily prepared in the district,
the average for 1900 when but ITS days
were worked during the year was IS, 9sS
tons per day.

Loose Coal to Be Brought Out.

New York, Aug. 2s.-The presidents OF
the coal roads have decided to bring at
once to New York and other important
centers Of consumption in the east enough
anthracite coal to bring the price down to
the neighborhood of 81 per ton. The coal
to be brought here is that which has been
lying loose in the mines since the strike
began. There are many thousands OF
tons Of it. Before it can be shipped it
must be hoisted to the surface and put
through the breakers and sifters. This
work can be done by ordinary laborers.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 2S.-Milwaukee
millers were agreeably surprised this
morning by the announcement that the
North Western road would take Of the

on 100 pounds. Taking effect to-day the
rate on grain carloads, originating in
Minnesota, North Dakota and South Da-
kota may he nilled in transit at any i'll
termediate station or any station in 1lli-

The products of the grain, after being
1nilled, will be waybilled free from the
milling stataion to any station east OF
the milling point or to any station in
Illinois or Wisconsin, taking Chicago
rates, and to points north of Green Bay
or Amigo or east Of Clintonville at the
arbitraries above the Milwaukee rate on

state line is not to exceed the combi-
nation of local rates via Minneapolis.
George Schroeder manager Of the c.
Manegold Milling company, in discussing
the concessions made by the North West
ern, says the result will be to, place the
Milwaukee millers on an absolute parity
with those in Chicago and Minneapolis.

very extremity of the peninsula, report
that over six inches of rain had fallen

which had been like furnaces for
many months had running streams.
Early this year there was q
