Many Burned in Clarke County.

Vancouver, Wash, Sept. IA
number of deaths in the Rock creek
district, near Bell's mountain, have
been reported here. The fire was
driven by high east wind, which
swept everything before it.
Fire, according to the reports, swept
over strip of timber in the northern
part of this county, IL miles wide, for
a distance of 40 miles. The country
around the headwaters of Lewis river
is known to be full of prospectors and
miners, and it is believed that many
more lives are lost than are now re-
ported.
More than 20 families in the vicin-
ity of Rocky creek are rendered home
less. Measures are being taken among
the authorities and citizens here to
render speedy assistance to the unfor-
tunate fire sufferers. As reports say a
large number Of, people are left desti-
tute for the time being by reason of
the destruction of buildings, crops and
stock unless they are given relief soon,
much suffering is sure to result.

DEATH LIST INCREASING.
Thirty-Eight Known to Have Perished In
the Lewis River Country.

Kalama, Wash, Sept. H. Reports
from the fire stricken districts of Lewis
river continue to grow worse. The
charred and lifeless bodies of 38 people
have already been found, and all be-
lieye that there will be more to follow.
Many settlers and an unknown num-
Der of campers from outside points are
missing. The burned district was
settled by perhaps 500 people, most of
whom were prosperous, while many
we're well-to-do. Nearly all of the
farmers had good buildings, their
barns filled with hay, and. their pas
lures we'll stocked with cattle. What
was a week ago the beautiful and fer
tile valley of the Lewis is now hot
and silent valley of death, covered pro-
miscuously with the blackened bodies
of both man and beast.
At one place the irons of burned
wagon, the roasted remains of team
of horses and the dead bodies of nine
people tell the tale of an unsuccessful
attempt of party of pleasure seekers
to escape. While fleeing from the
flames they were stopped by a big log
that had fallen across the fcad. The
team was burned on the spot, and SO
fierce was the fire that none of the nine
persons were able to get more than
few steps from the wagon.
Many people saved their lives by
jumping into the Lewis river, the
water of which. in some places, was
warm from the intense heat OF the
surrounding flames. ABOUT 60 people,
who were camping at Trout lake, near
the base of Mount st. Helens, were
saved by taking to the water on inn
provised RATS of poles and logs. About
140 sections of the finest timber land in
Cowlitz county have been burned over,
and much of it destroyed completely.
It is estimated that the property loss
in this county will not be less than
81 900, 900. Three hundred people
have been left destitute and homeless,
at least SO lives have been lost.

State Attorney Douglass has
Interpreted the law that voter is
qualified to sign q petition OF a
person seeking to become an indepen-
dent candidate. This may be
law but it is not good logic. A
person that has exercised the privi-
lege of voting or select a candidate
has exercised all the privileges he
should have. By being premitted
to vote and then sign petition he
is igven two opportunities for select
ing a candidate for the same Office in
case the result of the primary elect
ion should not suit. Further voter
might assist in an extremely unpopu-
lar aspirant it being successful at the
primary and in the meantime have
q friend who was waiting to become
a candidate by petition and after
the primary sign the friends petit
ion, and he being q stronger man
would defeat the one named at the
primary. If it is law, it should be
changed, go that when man has
once voted he should not be per
mitted to again vote or petition for

time shortens during which the
fuel can be received cheaply by
water, in the event Of resumption
of work, at the mines, tho con-
sumers with empty bins are grow
ing stoid and somewhat indifer-
ent. This is due to some extent to a
feeling of hopeleesness as to home
comfort during the cold months
soon to come; but it is more largely
the result of a conviction that
houses can be heated and food
cooked with soft coal of the better
grades. Anthracite coal has been so
generally used by householders
because of it's superior quality as a
heat producer, and also because Of
it's comparative cleanness, and
householders are thoroughly &C
quainted with the methods OF
getting the best result from it's
combustion. On the other hand they
are ignorant az to the management
TO soft coal fires and will have much
to learn before they can get satisfac-
tory results. But necessity is a great
spur to effort, and the people will
soon acquire the knack of getting
soft coal to give out it's most fervent
glow, in range, furnace and CRATE,
and then the anthracite agent will
have Il new problem to deal with.
Thousands of consumers may find
that by the exercise of a little
patience that they can do COM
fortably and economically with soft
coal, and as result there may be
a conn 4 atively widespread deter
mination to stick to soft coal when
the strike is over and prices have
gradually found their nomal level.
This would materially reduce the
annual demand or anthracite; coal,
and perhaps cause the coal barons
to modify prices in order to win
back trade.
A permanent reduction in the
demand for meat will be the result
of the prevailing high prices for
everything offered in the butcher
shops. Forced to economize in the
consumption Of meats, people have
learned that they can get along with
much less than was Thought possible,
and they have determined to
adhere to their j.. changed Diet
Should meats become cheaper,
through q relaxing af the grasp
of the meat trust, or an increase in
the supply of beeves and hogs,
those consumers would probably
be gradually won back to a more
literally flesh diet, put prices will
probably range high for sometime
to come and thousands Of. con-
sumers will be permanently cured
of the expensive meat habit. Mil
