with smoke. The best way is to leave
it closed altogether. With attention
to these details. which reverse the
customary practice with anthracite, a
furnace may be run on bituminous
coal SO as to keep house entirely
comfortable.
1t will be found difficult if not i'm
possible, to keep either a range or
furnace fire over night with soft coal
unless one has watchman on duty
to look after it. As an offset to this,
however, we have the ease with which
fresh fire of soft coal may be light
ed and its almost instantaneous re-
SPONGE in heat imparting efficiency.
1t kindles nearly ds easily as shavings,
and the coke of the previous fire does
not have to be removed from the fire
pot. All that is necessary is to shake
down the fine ash and make the new
fire upon what remains. With little
judgment, one having small supply
of anthracite available may run his
furnace through the day and evening
with soft coal, and by adding anthra-
cite at night have fire in the morn
ing. But with no anthracite at all he
can, with little more trouble than
he is accustomed to, keep his house
comfortable with soft coal Within
the next thirty days these facts may
be of great practical interest to the
householder. Most of the rumors of
sulke settlement now in circulation
have their origin in schemes of pollti-
cal advantage, and whatever the re-
suit, anthracite is likely to be costly
and hard to get except in a SIN all way
for some months to come. 1t is very
certain our people need not go hun
cry or cold, and equally certain they
will not.

A SCENE OF DEVASTATION.
Destruction by Forest Fires Worse
Thnn nt First Reported.

VANCOUVER, Wash, Sept. 16.-Re-
ports of loss of property from forest
fires continue to come in on every hand,
but no reliable estimate of the extent
of the damage can be obtained. A re-
port from the Dale settlement east of
Bells mountain is to the effect that
nearly every settler in that section has
been driven from home and his prop
erty consumed by the great wall of
ire that swept through there.
a Washougal report says that the
loss of property in that section Is worse
than was at first thought. The entire
surrounding country, including the
Skamaka, Last Chance, Latton and
Hple Bird mines. is smoking ruin
and many people are homeless. Lat
tons sawmill at Bear prairie was de-
stroyed, and two other mills back of
Fern prairie are also in ashes.
Mayor Eastman of Vancouver has is
sued call for a mass meeting of citi-
zens today to devise ways and means
TO succor the suffering inhabitants of
the burned districts of Clark county.

loss of life from forest fires were re-
ported Saturday and Sunday, says:
News from the fire on Lewis river
confirms the report of Saturday night
and adds to the losses. The fallen tim
Der has blocked the only road leading
up the river, so that the work of the
rescuers is slow. A party. of ten per-
sons with a team was known to be
camping in the timbers. The charred
remains of the horses and the wagon
were found, but no trace of the people
can be discovered.

Potato Crop is Blighted.

Assistant John F. Stone, of the
Cornel, N. Y, experiment station, re-
ported on Friday that the farmers of
New York state will lose one half of
the potato crop as the result of blight.
The blight is described as fungus
disease, and it is attributed to the
constant wet weather.
If the plants had been sprayedwith
a solution of copper sulphate, the
crop might have been saved, but now
that the blight has fully taken hold
there is no hope. The blight is said
to be sweeping in northerly and
westerly direction, and is bound to do
great damage.
