TACOMA, June 21.--Standing tim
Der to the the amount OF $50 900, 900
feet has been burned in five districts
along the line of the Northern Pacific.
This timber comprises a splendid for
est OF fir and is all readily accessible
because 1t grew within few miles OF
the railroad. Two days ago these
giants of the Washington woods
reared themselves in an almost un-
broken maas, covering s3 miles Of ter
ritory: today all that remains Of
them are the smouldering, blackened
trunks. The value OF the timber de-
stroyed is placed at s1.ioO.oOO. A spe-
cial tonight to the Ledger from Hot
Springs says: Lester Is now the
threatened point The forests on
each side Of the village are now in
flames and an increase In the We
locity OF the wind would likely doom
the town. At a late hour this even
ing the forests above here were burn
ing fiercely and the flames were being
driven into the belt Of timber not
hitherto touched.
The valley for miles is brilliantly
Illuminated by blazing trees but the
the most combustible material nearby
has been consumed and the fire Is
slowly receding on both sides OF the
river. If the wind remains in its
present quarter "a hours longer the
fire will pass the summit Of the Cas-
cades. II is only 13 miles from here
to the Stampede tunnel. 1t is not
thought that the fire will reach the
tunnel, however.
Down at Kanskat, % miles below
here. tract of several square miles
is in flames. At Covington, eight
miles east of Auburn. there is a fierce
fire covering two square miles and
rapidly spreading.

NEW CATTLE INpusTPy.

CHICAGO, June 21.--Plans that were
first taken into consideration about a
year ago nave been developed In the
last few months to point where some
of the great packing establishments in
Chicago have begun experiments on
what may prove revolution in the
cattle industry Of the country, says
the Inter Ocean. The project involves
the settlement OF several hundred
thousand acres of what Is at present
nearly valueless land In northern and
northwestern Florida and southren
Alabama the cultivation on a large
scale Of the Cassava foot and its use
in feeding cattle and hogs. If the plan
developes as 1t Is now in the minds
of the leading packers, the southern
states win become the center OF the
cattle-raising industry. 1t Is stated
that arrangements are being made
for the accommodation Of consider
able number of cattle to be shipped
from the stock yards here TO northern
Florida to be fed on Cassava root
The results of the fattening process
will be compared with similar work
in the West, regarding which the COM
ditions and cost are already definateIy
known. The results obtained will de-
termine the future of the Cassava ex~
pertinent.
