FIRES IN COLORADO
SWEEPING BARE THE REGIONS
OF TIMBER.
Little Hope Of Distinguishing the
Flames - A Better Report
From Washington.

DENVER, Col, September 18.-Forest
fires are sweeping bare the timber regions
of the Rocky mountains from the Wyoming
line to central Colorado. The fires are
spreading with terrible rapidity, and con-
ditions are more serious now than at any
time since the fire was first reported about
a month ago. Government inspectors and
forest brigades are doing all in their power
to check the progress of the flames and are
receiving all the assistance possible of he
ranch and mine men. In some places the
fires have been checked, but not subdued.
Most of them, however, have gained such
Roadway that, with the limited force of fire
fighters and other means at hand the gov
eminent officials can see but little hope of
successfully distinguishing the flames and
must neceSsa rily allow them to burn them
selves outs New fires are reported daily.
new forest fire is reported in the official
telegraphic advices to the Interior Depart
ment today to BE raging in the section of
Idaho Just west of the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park and about fifteen miles north
of ST Anthpny, idaho.
Supervisor Henry Nicholson, dated at Ke-
nosha Range, Col, announces an abate-
ment of the fires in that region. His juris-
diction includes the Pixies Peak, South
saws are now clear and he can serve In any
other section where fire fighters are needed.
He telegraphs: AsFire well under control

The register and receiver at the land Of
fee at OLYMPIA, Wash, telegraphed TODAY
that so far as they can learn there Is no
danger to the timber on the public lands
in the vicinity of Buckler and Enumclaw,
and the fires in that section are practical
ly under control.

EXPENSES
SUBMITTED FOR
YEAR ENDING JUNE 80, 1904.
Increase Over Present Appropriation
Of but $500 - Review Of
Office Work.

DlStrict Assessor Fl. II. Darneille has sub
mitted to the Commissioners estimate
OF the amounts required for the support of
the assessors department Of the District
government for the fiscal year ending June
80 1904. The estimate provides for the sal
aries of the assessor the various assistants,
inspectors and clerks employed in the Office
of the assessor and shows that the total
estimated amount required for the year
1904 to be $79,4O as against the appropria-
ton Of $4,000 for the year 1903. an increase
of only $4O0.
In his explanation to the Commissioners
of the various items, wherein they differ
from the amounts appropriated in 1903 Mr..
Darneille says: 7-re4 -s9-. --
There is an increase of 5000 per annum
in the salary of a clerk who is employed
In examining all deeds recorded and wills
probated, separating therefrom those which
are necessary for the purpose Of making
proper transfers of real estate on the books
of this Office. He is also required to eX-
anime the title to all property the owner
ship Of which is uncertain disputed. This
work requires a knowledge Of real estate
law, close application and more than usual
ability. The title companies pay men en-
gagged in similar work much higher sal
airy. The incumbent is very efficient in
this line, has been in the employ Of the
District for some years, and the increase
asked for is inconsiderable when compared
manner in which it is performed.
Assistant Inspector of Licenses.
1.-The position of assistant inspector OF
licenses is a new one. At it's last session
Congress enacted a new license law which
largely increased the work Of the license
branch of the office. One inspector is un-
able to properly attend to the outside
license work, and the new man asked for
is Indispensable to the proper enforcement
of the law.
For the fiscal year 1903 Congress appro-
priated $500 for temporary clerk hire in
this office. l do not anticipate that We
will need that much during the ensuing
fiscal year but have asked for $3.50 to guard
against contingencies at those times when
the office is rushed with work beyond the
capacity of its normal clerical force.
"A new position is also created by the
needs of an additional inspector for the per-
sonal tax board. Congress, at its last ses
sion, enacted new personal tax law, and
provided certain machinery for it's enforce
ment. 1 find that we have not enough in
spectors to properly attend to the outside
work of this branch of the office, and have
consequently asked for one new man. This
position is essential to the proper enforce
ment Of the personal tax law.
The greatly increased volume of work
incident to the new triennial assessment
and the enforcement of the recently enact
ed personal tax and license law, has neces-
sarily delayed the preparation Of the annual
report OF this department for the fiscal
year, 1902 1t viii be completed and for
warded to you at the earliest practicable
date"

BIG PROJECT OF WoRKINGMEN.
Proposed Cooperative Organization to
Fight Capitalists With Capital.

A dispatch from Chicago, ILL.,, says: La

strikes that are of almost daily occurrence

which is to fight capital with capital. The
plan given out is to raise fund Of s., OOU,UvU

is in competition with a concern that is on
organized labor's unfair list. Only mem
bers of trades unions can become members
Of the association. Certificates will be sold
for $40 each. The number of certificates
each member holds will not control his vote
in the corporation. Each holder of certifi-
Gates will be entitled to only one vote. 1t
Is not the intention to abandon the bust
ness started to aid strikers after the fight
Is won. but to continue it as co-opera tive
industry, the men electing their own off,

been applied for. Thomas A. Nelson a
member of the Transfers National Union,
was elected temporary chairman at the first
meeting
I'VE intend to fight the capitalists with

BOUGHT HIS LIBERTY,
Negro Convict Sold Into Servitude
Ransomed by Men of His Race.

Fisher Million is free. The man with this
popular surname is the negro who was re-
Gently convicted at Sheibyville, KY. of
vagrancy, sentenced to servitude for one
year and then sold for that term by the
county officers to the highest responsible
bidder. That bidder was David Murphy,
also colored, and the price at which the
yagrant was knocked down.. to him was
81. The transaction attracted much atten-
ton throughout the United States, being
generally considered reminiscent Of scenes
that were familiar in the south before the
civil war. Million, however, will not have
to work for his master.
Soon after the sale Of the vagrant a
number of the colored citizens of Shelby
vile contributed to a redemption fund,
bought the convict from his purchaser for
S. and set him at liberty.
According to the latest advices from
Shelbyville, no objection to the transaction
has been interposed by the officers Of the
law.
The county made 81 on the sale, the in
dividual purchaser or lessee made 100 per
cent on the deal and Million, il employed
at wage of dollar day can liuuidate
his liability to the rescuers in eight days.

equivalent to ffty-one weeks, minus one
day. Everybody appears to be satisfied
What is probably an accurate account Of
the facts in this peculiar case appears in
the Shelby News. published at Shelbyville,
September Il The account follows:
Fisher Million, the negro man who was
indicted last year for vagrancy and was
captured several weeks ago at Lawrence
burg after being at large for about one
year, had his trial before Judge Davis in
the county court last Wednesday.
The jury brought in verdict of guilty
and fixed his punishment at being sold into
servitude for a period of one year, which
is the highest penalty.
Shortly after 3 o'clock Saturday after
noon Deputy Sheriff R. Walter Briggs ap-
peared at the court house door with Mil
lion and announced that he would be sold
to the highest bidder for cash. Quite

bidding started off at ST. A negro Iamed

FISH TO EAT MOSQUITOES.
Novel Plan to Abate New JERSEYS
Awful Plague.

A dispatch from New York says: AS the
result of trip of inspection over a portion
OF the Newark meadows on Tuesday, New
Jerseys state entomologist, John B. Smith,
declares that the task of getting rid Of the
mosquito plague, from which Newark and
the surrounding territory have suffered
each recurring summer, will be easy to
abate.
Contrary to the general belief, he says,
mosquitoes do not breed in all parts of the
meadows. but only occupy limited areas in
certain spots, where there is water
Meadow waters which are connected with
tidewater are not breeding places for mos
quitoes, Is the small fish which come in
with the tide feed on the eggs and the
"Wrigglers,' the latter being the first stage
of the development of what becomes a mos
quito.
To do away with the mosquito evil on the
Newark meadows. Mr.. Smith declares, it
will be only necessary to fill in the wet
places with ashes or to connect them by
bitches with the Passaic river or Newark
