FIRES AL ABOUT.
Forests and Prairies Are Burning in
FIathead County.


Kalispell. Aug. 4.-Fv,est fires are
raging in all directions from Kalis-
pell and great damage is being done.
Telephone communication with Co
lumbia Falls and Whitefsh is cut of
and it cannot be definitely stated the
amount of damage done. 1t has been
reported here by people returning
from Whiteish that the church build
ing and two residences had burned as
a result of forest fires near the town
and that the framework at the brick
yards had burned. II Is thought the
main portion OF the town will not be
damaged, unless a very heavy wind
sets in. The fire is on both sides OF
the railroad track, leading from White
fish to Columbia Falls and is raging
flercely.
Travel to the town OF Whitefish
was cut off Tuesday night by the fire
in the heavy pine timber along the
road for several miles. Another
large fire started near Dayton creek
and is doing great damage in the pine
timber in that section. Great clouds
of smoke made their appearance dur
ing the night and this morning. Sc
dense was the smoke n could not
see the distance Of three miles in
any direction. Reports received are
that fires are raging in all directions
and on Tuesday fourteen distinct fires
could be traced northeast and west
of Kalispell. It Is supposed. with the
heavy wind Of Tuesday afternoon
that the fires have spread with great
rapidity.
Word has just been received thai
a ranchman living near Whitefsh had
all his buildings and grain, as wei
as the timber. destroyed by fire, and
that he and his family barely escap
ed with their lives. The whole side
of the mountain east of Kalispell wa!
on fire Tuesday night, and 1t was
spreading at a rate to indicate tha'
the whole mountain would be strip
ped of its timber. Forest Supervisor
Haines and his force are doing al
they can fighting fires, but his force
of men is inadequate to cope with thu
situation.

wool is usually offered for sale in the
fleece. on market days which we have,
attended by eastern buyers. who
make an examination and offer a price
which We accept or reject. This year,
however, there is such a scramble for
the wool that the buyers have been
going from ranch to ranch, buying up
the wool before it is sheared, and

Mr.. Long sheared $4,000 sheep on
his range this spring. but believes,
nevertheless. that the life of the in
dustry in Montana will be short If the
settlers continue TO flow into the state
and take up the government lands,
which have heretofore been the free
grazing grounds for the flocks.

MONTANA OIL FIELDS.
Prominent Geologist Enthusiastic
Over Prospects.

Over Prospects.
Prof. S. Aughey, of Spokane, Wash,
a prominent geologist of the county,
who returned from an extended visit
to the oil fields of northern Montana
was at the Park hotel yesterday and
he spoke enthusiastically of the out
look for the Montana oil fields, says
the Great Falls Tribune.
Prof. Aughey was for Is years, pro-
lessor of applied science at the Uni
versity OF Nebraska. and has spent
practically a life time in the study of
geology. He has exported the oil
fields Of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas,
California and Wyoming. He was al
so for several years the consulting
geologist of the Oregon Short Line
and the Union Pacific railroads.
Prof. Aughey said that he was will
ing 10 stake his reputation as an oil
expert that oil would be struck in
paying quantities in almost the entire
Swift Current section and also in por-
tons of the Belly river, Cut Bank.
Two Medicine and North Kennedy
creek districts.
"The drillers will in all probability
strike large deposits of oil in the Swift
Current district at from 1900 to l.
500 feet. | think none of the wells
now being drilled have gone v e 700
feet at the deepest. In the Belly riv-
er district and the other places they
will probably have to go deeper than
1900 feet before they strike the sand
strata containing oil.
Il am especially pleased over the
prospect of finding oil In larage guam
titles by the formation of the coun-
try and the claim of Canadian geolo-
gists that wherever there has been
volcanic eruptions, one is very likely
to find oil deposits. The evidence of
volcanic disturbances is most pro-
nounced in the Swift Current region.
THE various stratas of the forma-
ton there go to make up the eretae-
cous group. The deepest strata in
this group, known as the Dakota, has
the sands containing oil, next comes
the Fort Benton strata, the third is
the Carlyle strata, the fourth the Mo
bara, and the fifth and last the Fox
Hill strata. The Fort Benton, Carlyle
and Niobra stratas are frequently ex-
posed in the Swift Current district,
but there are only frequent occur
rences of the Fox Hill strata.
Judging from the formation of the
country and oil bearing fossils and
shale, | am convinced that there is
oil there and that it will be struck
at about the depth | have stated"
