Range Fires,

Butte, Mont, Jan. 20.-A special from
Great Falls says an extensive fire on
either side of the international boundary
line, extending for distance if 10 miles
east and 20 miles west of Sweet Grass,
is reported. Practically all of the range
between Mile river and Lethbridge has
been burned by the flames and several
hundred tons of hay have been destroyed.
The fire extended to the valuable sheep
range in the Sweet Grass hills, and own
ers of flocks in that vicinity are con.
fronted by the serious necessity of secur
ing new winter range. There has been no
snow in that section for nearly three
months and the grass burned very rapidly.

Chicago, Jan. 2O.-The Record Herald
says:
Professor Charles w. Pearson of the
chair OF English literature in the North
western university, which is conducted
under Methodist auspices, has thrown q
bomb into the ranks of Methodism in Ev.
anston, the seat of the university, by Civ
ing out for publication a statement Of
his belief that biblical infallibility is a
superstitous and hurtful tradition and
that the biblical stories of Christ bring
ing the dead to life and of his walking
on the water and feeding the multitude
with the loaves and fishes were mere
poetic flncies, incredible and untrue
Professor Pearson declares that the pol.
icy of the Methodists is one of inactiv.
ity, obstruction and Jesuitical silence on
the part of leaders of the churches, but
are not held by the body of the church
He says that most of the present church
teaching and that most of the Sunday
school teaching is almost farcical and en-.
tirely inadequate.
