WAUSAUKEE. Wis, May 49,
Especial. Wv ausaukee is hemmed in by
forest fires. which are slowly creeping
up to the city, on north and south. Mil
lions of feet of lumber are burned. The
loss now is estimated at 100000.
At Cedarvil!e. town four miles north
of this city, forest fires have destroyed
many cars loaded with lumber on the
tracks. and big kilns filled with cedar
are burned.
A fierce wind is blowing sparks and
burning embers for miles. All trains
are being held here as the rails are
twisted from the intense heat. Hun
dreds of cords of hardwood, piled near
the tracks, are burning.

MANY CAMPS BURNED.

The Bird & Wells Lumber company
has suffered an enormous loss. Several
of their camps are totally destroyed.
The losses of the Bird, IL. Z. Christ,
Nose Swallow and many other logging
companies are steadily growing.
Three miles south of this place anoth-
er fierce fire is raging. The flames are
sweeping through slashing and forests.
The flames in some places are thirty
feet high. The dry condition is respon--
sible for the great loss. The ire sweeps
everything clean.
Trains are forced to wait here until
1000 new rails can be sent to repair the
tracks 1t is doubtful if trains can APP
proach the city from any side.
A Milwaukee road passenger train
was reported hemmed in at Cedaryjlle
and cannot run either way, as the rails
are twisted on both sides.
1t is not known how many passen-
gers are on the train. The train is now
waiting for relief in the way OF new

Nv the same token, one dishonest
man in business will, when 'ppr>'

4 hundred honest men, and 7'lch 81

ccptive for the observation hat there
is no honesty in business any more

base his observations upon \ F'ns'e

such a deduction or any number OF
such, establishes fact.
