VALUABLE rIMRER.
Miles Of It Were Destroyed in Color
ado BY Forest Fires.

Salida, Col, June 21.-Forest fires
in the vicinity of Mount Array, south
west of this city, have swept up one
gulch and down another, burning
miles and miles of valuable timber.
A. new fire started Thursday at Mills
Switch, seven miles from the Summit
Marshall Pass, on the western slope,
and in very thick timber. 1t is less
than Is feet from the Rio Grande
tracks, and the smoke blinds the train
men as they pass through.
Tacoma, Wash, June 21.-The fire
department of this city has sent men,
engines and hose on a special train to
Buckley, in this county, which is
threatened with complete destruction
by forest fires, raging between that
town and Enumclaw, King county. A
great cloud of smoke hangs over Ia
coma, 33 miles from Buckley. The
Mountain mill, two miles east of Buck
ley, burned Friday. Undoubtedly
many lives OF mountain campers and
loggers have been lost.
Enumclaw is also threatened with
destruction. The whole population is
fighting the flames but the water works
has been burned and the work of pro-
tecting the town Is difficult. The wind
is blowing a gale, and much farm prop
erty already has been destroyed. The
damage to timber and buildings in
the town is over 100000. About 40
women and children were shut off by
the fire from reaching the town, and
are suffering greatly from heat and
smoke. Twenty buildings and large
mill are burning. Everybody is ready
to remove and wagons are being
loaded.

GEN. }. x. SMITH.
Ordered to Proceed to San Francisco
and Await Further Orders.

Washington, June 2O.-Gen j. K
Smith, who recently was court-mar.
tailed in Manila, has been instructed
to proceed to San Francisco and there
await further orders. Just before he

been ordered to the United States to

order was suspended and still is pend.

his detention in the Philippines. AL

press dispatches from Manila that he
was acquitted

POSTAL CURRENCY.
Postmaster General Payne Takes q
Strong Position in Its Favor.

Washington, June 20.-Postmaster
General Payne takes a strong position
in favor of the establishment of pos
tai currency in a letter he sent to con-
gress Thursday transmitting the re-
ports of the committee appointed to
consider pending bill providing for a
post check system. He enclosed with
his letter a measure drawn by the ma
jority Of the committee for enactment
by congress, which he believes will
meet the end in view. The text of this
measure was announced by the press
some time ago. In his letter the post
master general says:
There is great need of some form
of postal currency and that the one
proposed is very simple and would
prove of incalculable convenience to
the public" The postmaster adds:
Hundreds of thousands of letters
carrying small amounts in the form
of ordinary currency or silver or post
age stamps are transmitted every year
through the mails. These letters are
a constant temptation to those hand
ling them, as it is easy to identify let
tiers enclosing currency. The postal
checks provided for in the proposed
bill would be much more easily OBJ
tanned and cheaper than the present
money order and with the extension Of
the rural free delivery service to the
remote parts Of the country would go
far to provide q cheap, convenient and
safe method to transmit small amounts
through the mails, and would be avail
able in those sections not heretofore
covered by or adjacent to the money or
der offices or the banks of the country
