FIRES RAGING

Flames Spread Along Coast
of British Columbia and
Great Damage Results

VANCOUVER. B. c., Aug. 1s.-Ow-
ing to the long continued dry weather
forest fires are spreading throughout
the interior and along the coast Of
British Columbia. Practically every
district in the province which is
wooded has its fire and great tracts
OF valuable timber are ablaze. Moth
ing but heavy rains will prevent the
further spread of the flames. There is
so much smoke in the air that naviga-
ton is rendered difficult.
Millions OF feet OF standing timber
have already been destroyed by the
flames.
WELLINGTON, B. c., Aug. 10
The terminus Of the Esquimalt and
Northern Railway Is in great danger
of being wiped out by fires which sur
round It, Already much property. in
cluding the city school house of eight
rooms, has gone. Owing to the dense
smoke IL is impossible to penetrate to
the lower end of the town, but it is
known that the church, rectory and
several large residences are in the
greatest danger The railway en-
ployes are fighting the flames, four
locomotives hauling water.
The fire is drifting toward the Ham
ilton Powder Works and the greatest
anxiety is felt. as a strong wind is
driving the flames in that direction.

DISCUSS PACIFIC
NAIL CONTRACT
President and Cabinet Con-

ABROGATION is SOUGHT
Dealers Say Steamship Com
pany'S Agreement Gives
Monopoly to Corporation
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-The abroga-
ton Of the agreement between the Pan
Steamship Company, which monopoIizes
the Pacific Coast carrying trade from
the isthmus, was considered by the
President and his Cabinet to-day. The
jobbers Of the Pacific Coast, who feel
that for years they have been obliged
to pay exorbitant freight rates by rea-
son OF this combination, have brought
great influence TO bear upon the admin
istration TO dissolve the contract.
The United States now owns sixty
nine seventieths OF the Panama Rail
road stock. but the directors now hold
ing office were elected before the road.
with the rest OF the property on the
canal strip, passed to the ownership OF
the United States. 1t was understood
at the time Of the transfer that the
thirteen old directors. although they
were entitled to hold Office until April
next, would willingly and gracefully
step out and permit the members of the
American Canal Commission gradually
to take their places Three members
OF the canal commission are now di-
rectors OF the railroad, but they cannot
control. But Secretary Taft, under
whose control lies the affairs Of the
canal zone, has not met with this will
ingness to defer to the United States to
abrogate the contract now existing 1t
is necessary that six months notice
shall be given.
Although the administration with
holds the announcement Of what II
would like to do, there Is evidently con-
siderable annoyance over the fact that
the directory cannot be ar once filed
with representatives of the United
States Government. II IL were then
deemed advisable to respond aff1rma-
lively TO the plea Of the Pacific Coast
1obbers that the contract with the Pa
ctao Mail Steamship Company be abro-
gated. the breaking OF the monopoly
would rest merely upon the word Of the
President At present, however, the
directors cling tenaciously 10 their po-
sitions.
1t is ths intention OF the combination
Of Pacific Coast jobbers to establish a
line OF steamers between the United
States coast and Panama If the monop-
oily now existing is not broken. The
President Is asked to abrogate the con-
tract on the ground that IL is in con-
travention Of public policy generally
for the United States to foster or en-
courage monopoly.

CAMP ATASCADERO, Aug. 1s.-The
roar of. battle that has marked the pro-
ceedings Of the last few days to-day
gave way TO peace and stiffness.
1t was a day of rest for all. The
problem Of reconnaissance as scheduled
was omitted, that the troops might
rest and be in readiness for the long
event OF tomorrow. The early part
of the day was spent by many hun
dreds of the troops in the enjoyment
of shower baths.
The principal event OF the day was
the division drill OF the hospital CORPS.
which took place at $3.50 o'clock IN the
afternoon, beginning at q point on the
extreme south Of the camp. The pro-
gramme had been mapped out by Col
onel A c. Girard, chief surgeon. 1t
was executed by Major William Ste
phenson, acting chief surgeon for the
day. More than 200 officers, surgeons,
and enlisted men took part IN the ex-
ercises. 1t proved Of great value to
the militia. The drill was complete In
every detail
Major Stephenson acted in a double
capacity, being in command Of the
First Brigade. Able assistance in the
general drill was given by Major ".
P. Kendall, who had charge of the Sec
ond Brigade. Among the officers Of
the National Guard who took a lively
part in the proceedings were Lieuten-
ant Colonel ]. Pedlar OF the Sixth; Ma
jor ". w. Roblee of the Seventh; W.
]. Hanna Of the Second; Theodore
Rethers OF the First; Captain II. II.
Look of the Second; c. A. Rodgers Of
the Sixth; F. S. Enimal Of the-First
Artillery; S. o. Beasley of the First,
and c. A Dukes of the Fifth.
Dress reviews OF both brigades took
place at $50 p. m. and the appearance
OF the troops brought forth admiration
parade grounds was covered with peo-
pie. automobiles and several four-in-
hand coaches.
The First Brigade was reviewed by
Colonel A. c. Markley on the south
grounds and the Second Brigade by
Colonel H. G. Ward on the grounds IN
front of the division headquarters. The
troops were all in high spirits after
their days rest and entered with en-
thusiasm into their work The Signal
Service Corps, including all members
of that body here, Federal and State
militia. under command OF Major
George o. Squier, went through a pre-
paratory drill and inspection of the
division flying field telegraph train at
4:30 D. m. Over 100 men took part in
the drill The lance, field and wire
wagons were distinctive features in the
work. The drill was Of highly in
structive character.
The problem for tomorrow will in
cIude a march of all troops here from
the camp at a. m. to spot some
three miles distant. From that point
will begin probably the most interest
ing and at the same time most intri-
cate maneuvers of the field exercises,
the depIoyment of a division. This will
be under the direct command of Gen
eral Macarthur.
The militia viii be paid off here on
Thursday afternoon August 20, ana
will begin making preparations at the
same time to break camp. Early Fri
dav morning they will begin move
ment to their home stations.
