In the whole history of congress,
covering a period of us years, there
are only two of it's members who
have a record of more than forty
years of service-Justin S. Morrill, of
Vermont and William B. Allison OF
Iowa. John Sherman's house and
senate career combined was six years
less than Mr.. Morrill's and four short
of Mr.. Allison's as it stands today.
In aggregate continuous service in
both houses Morrill, stands ahead of
all others. He was elected to the
house in November, 1854, serving
twelve years from March 4. 1855, and
stepping from the house directly into
the senate. He died Dec. IS, 1895,
aged IS, still a senator, with an un-
broken congressional career of forty
four years lacking sixty-six days.

BAKERSFIELD, June 19.-Fire broke
out today on the flats of K ,rn county
above Kimberlin and tonight the flames
are raging fiercely in the foothills,
thirty-five miles distant
Thousands upon thousands of acres
of valuable feed land have been burned
over and cattle owners and ranchers
are threatened with the complete loss
of their feed and stock throughout the
foothill grazing territory.
More than two hundred employees and
owners of threatened ranches have
turned out to fight the flames, but from
latest reports their efforts have been
unavailing..
The flames were first noticed about
noon and in less than three hours they
had reached the opposite bank of the
Poso creek, fifteen miles distant, and
tonight it was stated that the lower
foothills, twenty miles farther away,
had been reached.
Ranch owners from Bakersfield have
hurried to the scene, taking with them
men to fight the flames.
The damage will be enormous, as the
feed this year has been plentiful and
large numbers of cattle have beer
placed there to Craze.
