milwaukee,, WiS.-Advices received
from Northern Michigan indicate tina
the worst forest fire since Phillips wa.

Upper Peninsula.
Latest advi .es are that 4 tract thirty
miles square, including the northern
half of Henominee County, the eastern
portion of Dickinson County and the

Six villages were reported to have

a town of 1000 inhabitants and is the

Party lines have been wiped out in
the enactment of this legislation,
though they have in some measure in

of the measure. With only three Sena-
tors and seven Representatives casting
their votes against it, neither party
can lay claim to exclusive credit. and
neither is doing so.
