NEW FIRE is REPORTED IN IDAHO

instOn, Wire that the Danger
There TO Forests is be-
ginning to SubsIde.

DENVER, Sept. 1S.-Forest fires are
sweeping bare OF timber sections Of the
Rocky mountains from the Wyoming line
to central Colorado.
The fires are spreading with terrible ra-
pidity and conditions are more serious now
than at any time since the first fire was re-
ported about a month ago. Government in
spectors and forest brigades are doing all
In their power to check the progress Of the
Games and are receiving all possible assist
ance from ranchers and mining men.
In some places the fires have been
checked but not subdued. The greater por-
ton Of them, however, have gained such
Roadway that, with the limited force Of fire
fighters and other means at hand, the gov
eminent can see little hope Of successfully
extinguishing the flames and must neces-
sarily allow them to burn themselves out.
New fires are reported daily and much
fine timber heretofore untouched by the de-
vouring flames has been wiped out or else
Is now burning without hope of being saved.

CREAMERY At MILES CITY.
Matter Is Engaging the Attention Of
the Farmers.

the Farmers.
Miles City, May 26.-The matter Of
establishing a creamery in this To-
cality is beginning to engage the at
tention of many Of the farmers. Sew
eral years ago the subject was agitat-
ed, but the reliability Of the alfalfa
crop here had not at that time been
sufficiently tested, nor vas its value
as feed for stock demonstrated to the
entire satisfaction of a number of
farmers, who, therefore, opposed the
creamery.
These conditions are now known to
be absolutely favorable, and the sub
stitution of olemargarine for cream
butter is proceeding at a rate that in
many cases it is almost impossible
to tell when n is getting the pure
article. 1t is thought by the projec-
tors that a market can be found here
and in the rest of eastern Montana
large enough to assure sufficient
patronage to make the scheme a SUI
cess.

Vrooman of the western cooperative
movement has closed contracts for
the purchase of six Of the largest

the present purchase is but the be-
ginning of a movement to gather the
farmers eft Kansas in a cooperative
branch of the Vrooman Cooperative
company. The concern will be known
as the Wheat and Flour Cooperative
company. The farmers are to- be taken
into the scheme upon the payment of
500 each, for which they are to re
ceive the market value of the wheat
sold to the company, and in addition
will receive one-half OF the profits
derived, the other half going to CO.
operative stores, through which the
wheat and -four will be handled.
'"The plan," said Mr.. Vrooman, lis
to eliminate wheat spectators and
the middlemen. The farmers are in
earnest sympathy with the move
ment. It is the only way to head OF
the talked-of flour trust that is being
formed in New York"
1t is intended to ship to Great
Britain, to sell among the cooper
alive members there the surplus pro-
duction not disposed of in Kansas
