FOREST FIRE
DOES DAMAGE
Large Stretch of Heavily
Wooded Country in Crazy
Mountains Is Destroyed
FINE TIMBER BURNED
Vigorous Battle Is Being
Waged Against Flames,
but They Defeat All Efforts

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 5.-A special
dispatch from Big Timber. Mont, says
a forest fire in the Crazy Mountains,
twenty miles north of Big Timber, has
done considerable damage in the last
few days. The fire started last. Sun
day, and has gradually increased until
it has burned over a large stretch OF
heavily wooded country. Parties in
town to-day from that section stated
that among the timber burned is some
of the most valuable in that district.
A dispatch from Kalispell says that
forest fires are still raging with una
bated fury in the timber lands of that
county. and from all reports received
thus far the damage will run into the
thousands of dollars. Small holders of
timber lands are the chief sufferers
The fires are not raging in the
forests surrounding this city. but in the
finest lumber sections in Northern
Montana. The thickly wooded sections
about Atlanta, Sterling and Fisher
River are burning, as we'll as the tim
ber west of Libby and between Troy
and Bonners Ferry, Idaho.
About half a dozen frame buildings
on the outskirts of White Fish have
been burned. The people living in the
timbered sections are all out fighting
the fire, but are almost powerless to
check it's advances.

Firemen Commended for Bravery.

On the recommendation of Acting
Chief Engineer John Dougherty the
Fire Commissioners at the meet
ing yesterday commended Firemen
Charles Brownell, James Coleman,
William Sawyer John Herman, E.
Raffestein and E. Morrissey for their
bravery in rescuing lives at the fire on
Mason street on July %. The Com
missioners awarded the contract for
hydrants to the Risdon Iron Works.
The purposed erection of a chemical
engine house on Missouri and Twen-
tieth streets was referred back to the
Supervisors, as the amount appropri-
ated is insufficient to construct the
kind of house desired.

Miss Guadalupe Vallejo Ex-
pires in This City After
Brief Illness.

Miss Guadalupe Vallejo. daughter of
Don Jose de Jesus Vallejo and the ia
vorite niece of the famous General
Vallejo passed away quietly at the
French Hospital Thursday morning at
l o'clock after a brief illness Her
friends and admirers were legion. Her
fame rests not so much in her relation
ship TO famous characters, but on her
own wonderful literary and linguistic
accomplishments.
Only recently the deceased received
the permission of General Lew Wallace
to translate his remarkable work, Ben
Hur" into Spanish. At first the gen.
eral was unwilling to give his permis-
sion, but upon receiving the assurances
of men of letters of this State that Miss
Vallejo was qualified to undertake the
work General Wallace gave his per-
mission.
Miss Vallejo was not slow to appre-
ciate the confidence reposed in her abil-
ity, and forthwith began her labors to
give to Spanish readers the work which
had already been translated into almost
all other languages.
Never realizing that her death was
so near, Miss Vallejo called her niece,
Miss Antonita Vallejo. to her side a
week ago and gave into the young
lady's hand a typewriter history of
the Vallejo family, saying at the time,
My dear, it is well that you keep this
account Of your ancestors. l have pre-
pared it specially for you; guard it."
Miss Vallejo was born sixty years ago
in the Mission of San Jose, and up to
ably young. She leaves a sister, Mrs.
f. L. Kern, who lives at SIS Telegraph
avenue, Oakland; two nephews, Conrad
E. Kern and r. E. J. Kern, we'll known
musicians, and a niece, Miss Antonita
Vallejo, besides several cousins.
The funeral will take place this morn
ing from the Spanish church, Yglesia
de Nuestra Sonora de Guadalupe, on
Broadway, between Mason and Taylor
streets.

Traffic on the coast line of the
Southern Pacific was delayed for aD
hour yesterday morning through the
de1ailment of the second section of
train No. 9, which is due at Third and
Townsend streets at 7:10 o'clock,
Both sections of the train had arrived
on time at San Bruno station and the
first section was moving on when the
tower man observed the second sec
ton also moving, contrary to the sig
nails. AS a train from another direc-
tlon was due to cross the track on
which No. was moving, the operator
promptly threw a switch just in time
to catch the engine of the section, and,
although the latter was moving very
slowly the engineer was unable to
come to stop before the forward
wheels of the locomotive had gone off
the rails. A wrecking engine was sent
out from the yards and in a short
while had the derailed engine back on
the track.

a MOST VALUAsLE sTAMP.
5000 VIII Not Buy One Of the RareSt
Specimens Extant.

Specimens Extant
A Broadway, N. Y, stamp collector,
who has clients all over the world,
showed to a reporter for the Sunday
Press trade circular from London
telling about a recently discovered
stamp for which offers of $1,000 have
been refused. An American collector
living in England is said to have Of
fered more than that sum for 1t as
matter Of speculation. But the firm
that owns the stamp keeps 1t locked
In Its safe. Only limited number OF
persons are permitted to see 1t.
The coveted stamp Is what is called
a "tuppeny Mauritius" and is one Of
the rarest In the world. It's value is
due to an engraver's blunder His
wits went wool gathering while he
was at work, and the stamp was i'm
printed with the words "postofice" In
stead Of postpaid" When the blum
der was discovered the entire issue was
hastily withdrawn, and all sold that
could be recovered were destroyed.
The rece:.t discovery was found in the
collection Of Glasgow man who died
about two years ago and whose heirs
we're disposed to treat his postage
stamp hobby with contempt.
II have seen these stamps in mu'
seums," said the Broadway collector,
