summer days, showing they believe life

Solitaire has been success in the stud.

Forest Fires.

Several counties of upper Michigan
and northeastern Wisconsin, and along
the line of the two states were burned
over last week by a forest fire, driven
by q gale, The dispatches came from
Escanaba, Mich, and Marienette, Wis,
both along Green bay, a part of Lake
Michigan, and tell of the destruction of
several towns ranging from 200 to 1000
in population The district is heavily
wooded, and part of it contains iron ore
deposits.
Six counties were burned over, and
also parts Of fous others, or in all about
a hundred square miles of heavily wood
ed country.
A nawspanar- nan who harperea 70
be IN the burned district. describes the
situation as appalling. I'VE were near
a lumber camn,' he says, There were
nearly 200 persons there. The first we
knew of the danger was the black
clouds of rolling smoke that suddenly
came down upon as.
1--WE were miles from lake or
stream. but there were men there who
had been through similar fires and, un-
der their guidance, every man was set
to work digging trenches in the soft
soil.
"Valuables were buried and when
the danger appeared greatest, the wo-
men and children were covered with
earth TIE tents and canvas sheets
were saturated with water anG spread
over them The 50 horses L.sre turned
loose. Some of them broke away. but
the greater number remained about the
old stables. and this required great
work on the part of the men to keep
them from tramping on the women and
children.
after the flames came, it seemed
but few minutes when the great for
est beyond was mass of fire While be-
hind us was nothing but blackness and
smoke. The sod-coyered cabins escap'
ed and all were safely accounted for.
The property loss in this vicinity will
be upwards of 81, 900, 900. Not bridge,
railroad or wagon survived the fire.
By Sunday the fire had about burned
itself out.

The Hepburn Bill.

On Friday last, and after nearly two
months of continuous debate and
wrangling, the U. s. Senate passed the
Hepburn bill, as amended by a vote of
II TO 8. The amended bill-some people
think it has been amended-to- death
will now go to the House, then to a
Conference Committee, and then to the
President, who may see fit to veto it.
as 1t is now very different affair from
what he started in to secure two wears
ago.
Senator Tillman, who, because of
his having charge of the bill. made the
closing speech. said: but for the work
of Theodore Roosevelt in bringing the
matter to the attention of the country.
we would not have had any bill at all
1t ls true that the idea was not his and
that the demand for the legislation was
made in three Democratic platforms
nevertheless, he seized upon the idea.
and the success of the issue is largely
due to his advocacy. / can't congratu-
late him on his victory. for / think we
should have had a better BILL" Mr..
Tillman intimated that the bill would
have been better one had the Presi- |
dent not altered his position He ex-
pressed the belief that if the bill failed |
to give relief it would be because the |
people went to Sleep" but disclosures |
like those at Philadelphia, last week. |
regarding the management of the
pennsylvania Railroad are liable To
make this Nation sit up and take
notice."
