A SCENE OF DEVASTATION.
OevastatfOn by Forest Fires WOFsy
Than at First Reported.


Than at First Reported.
VANCOUVER, WASH, Sept. 16.-Re
ports of loss of property from forest
fires continue to come ip on every hand,
but no reliable estimate of the extent
of the damage can be obtained. A re.
port from the Dale settlement east Of
Bells mountain is to the effect that
nearly every settler In that section has
been driven from home and his prop.
erty consumtd by the great wall Of
fire that swept through there.
A Washougal report says that the
loss of property in that section is worse
than was at first thought. The entire
surrounding country, including the
Skamaka, Last Chance, Latton and
Blue Bird mines, is smoking ruin,
and many people are homeless. Lat.
tons sawmill at Bear prairie was de.
stroyed, and two other mills back Of
Fern prairie are also in ashes.
Mayor Eastman of Vancouver has Is.
sued call for mass meeting Of citi-
zens today to devise ways and means
to succor the suffering inhabitants of
the burned districts of Clark county.
A special from Kalama, where great
loss of life from forest fires were re.
ported Saturday and Sunday, says:
News from the fire on Lewis river
confirms the report of Saturday night
and adds to the losses. The fallen tim.
Der has blocked the only road leading
up the river, so that the work OF the
rescuers is slow. A party of ten per-
sons with team was known to be
camping in the ;timbers. The charred
remains of the horses and the wagon
were found, but no trace of the people
can be discovered.

cry. owned by Beddall Bros, one mile

twenty-five nonunion men. who are
now being protected by fifty armed

the dead line, 200 yards from the wash

The Lehigh Coal and Navigation
company reports that more than fifty
new men are at work at Nos. and Il
collieries. while the Readings wash
cries at North Mahanoy and Maple
Hill, which started last week, have 100
nonunionists. These gains have been
accomplished without trouble.
An official of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation company says that it is ex-
pected that the daily output from the
No. 4 and No. II colieries will now be
increased from 1,400 to 1900 tons

ridicue the claims of the company.

Shorty shifted about uneasilv, aud
then, In lieu Of anything better, he
pnt his arm about her shoulder.
The girl shivered and drew away.
"What's the matter. said Shorty.
"You're not afraid OF me, are your"
"No," said the girl; '1'm more
afraid OF myself"
This was beyond Shorty's compre'
hension.
"You' re what?" he asked roughly.
"On, Shorty" cried the girl ear
nestly, cant you understand that
it's all over now and we must not see
each other any more?"
"What dye mean?" he demanded.
"Don't you know Pm going to take
you away to morrow. got some
money left, and," he added magnan-
lmously, eve can get married before
we go if you want to-"
Maggie laid her head upon the top
rail Of the bench and began 10 cry.
~ can't do it. l won't do it," she
sobbed. "You must go away
alone"
Shorty did not know what to make
of this. What did the girl want if
she did not want him? Why had she
visited him in the prison, worked for
him, lied for him, if she did not want
bin.
Jaw, come off,, he said gently.
"What do you want, anyhow"
"This,' said the girl, springing to
her feet and dashing the tears from
her eyes. II want you to 90 away
where l will never see you again. What
did, did because loved you, and
l am glad Of it-glad that l lied for
you and got y ou off,"
Shorty looked at her in wonder. He
could not understand this girl. There
was something in her beyond his
comprehension.
His confidence in hims elf was weak
ening.
"You better come with me, Mag
gle, "he said. "I'll promise to be
good to you" Is.
''It ism t that, " went on the girl. II
told you | was not afraid Of anything
but myself. ! know what you are
d thief, and l know what l ANA
liar, and | know what we both ought
to be. and | can't do it, We could
never be happy or good and-oh,
Shorty. III always think Of you as
you we're that night at the dance, be-
fore l knew, and -go-go away now
or can't stand it,.
Shorty began to realize something Of
the tumult in the girls breast.
He felt. rather than understood
her struggle for her ideal.
He knew that should he take her
in his arms even now she would not
be able to resist him.
Something of her innate desire
for what was good and true stole
over him, and to his everlasting
credit he did not resist it,
II guess you're right, Maggie"
he said brokenly. II thought we
could have gone away and been
happy together, butt guess you're
right"
There was world of gratitude in
her eyes as she raised them to him
and his eyes grew misty.
"Good-by," he said
She placed her hand in his, and
they stood there for moment,
neither daring to say a word. Then
he turned and walked swiftly away.
She saw him for a moment in the
glare Of tho electric light and then
he disappeared in the shadows be-
yond.
Half an hour later there was a
knock at Mrs. Dolan's door. She
wiped her eyes and opened it ca
gerly.
Mother" said Maggie, 'can
come home?"

ARMY TRANSPORT SERVICE.
Presentation Of Views to Secretary
Root Late Yesterday Afternoon.

Mr.. Alfred Windsor, representing the
Boston Steamship Company. appeared be-
fore Secretary Root yesterday afternoon
and made brief argument in favor Of the
acceptance of the bid of that company for
the transportation of troops and supplies
between Seattle and Tacoma and Manila.
He was followed by a delegation includ-
ing Miss Clara Barton and other members
Of the Red Cross Society, who advocated
the continuation of the use of San Fran
cisco in the military transport service in
the general interests of the proper and hu-
name treatment of sick or wounded SOL
diers on account of the excellent camp and
hospital facilities at that port, which, it is
alleged, are lacking at all the other ter
minal points mentioned.
Secretary Root informed all the parties
In interest that he was making a careful
study of the question in all its phases. and
at the present time was unable to give the
least intimation as to his probable course
of action.
