GREAT ACREAGE OF LAND

Florence, Colo, March 2.-The
water was turned onto large por-

Airship For Army Use.

WASHINGTON, Aug. s. = Captain
Baldwin has succeeded In fulfilling
the first requirement of his contrac
with the government for supplying q
dirigible balloon for the signal corps
OF the army. The board of officers
today at Fort Myer accepted it as far
as its construction is concerned. The
other requirements remaining to be
fulfilled are the speed and endurance
of the aerial craft. There was no of.
fetal speed test today, but after the
inspection Of the balloon Captain
Baldwin made a preliminary endur.
ance trial. The total distance of
about six miles was made in today's
flight, an average speed Of about II
miles an hour was maintained.

Butte Man Is An Easy Mark.

BUTTE, Aug. 6.-Frank H. Pilling,
manager of the Butte Adjustment com.
pany and prominent resident of this
city. is in Jail in Tacoma, branded as
an easy mark and charged by one of
his best friends of defrauding him out
of $4,000. Pilling drew check for
that amount on the DAILY Bank &
Trust company OF Butte, and James
r. Thompson, formerly of Butte but
now of the Thompson Real Estate
company of Tacoma, endorsed it so
the Butte man could get the cash at
the Scandinavian-Amer bank of
Tacoma.
With the cash in grip Pilling went
to Seattle, where he says he gave the
money to a confidence man, who gave
Pilling the pleasure of witnessing a
four.round fake prize fight uponwhich
the latter bet the $4,000, with the ex-
pectation of drawing down bunch of
easy money. The man who got the
money and several others whom Pill.
ing accuses are missing, and detec.
tives are securing the northwest in an
effort to locate them.

SPOKANE, Aug. 5.-Turning away
from the scorched and pani c-stricken
towns of east Kootenai, the great for.
est fire which has terrorized the peo.
pie of the Elk river valley for the
past four days has rolled to the north
and swept over the mountains into an
almost uninhabited region. Michel,
which seemed doomed yesterday after
noon,is safe today. Hosmer and Grow e
Nest are out of danger unless the wind
whirls toward the south again.
The work of rebuilding has already
begun at Fernie, the Canadian Pacific
railroad being the first to start crew
on new station. Smoke still envel'
opes the district in the wake of the
conaagration, arising from brush,
timber and the ruins of Fernie. The
burned district is about 40 miles in
length and most of it ranged from one
to three miles In width.

To Irrigate Prickly Pear Valley.

HELENA, Aug. 8.-The!name of al.
most every owner of land in Prickly
Pear valley has been signed to the
petition which was circulated asking
the reclaim alton service oflthe govern.
ment to take charged of the irrig alton
OF the valley. and to conserve the
water available for that purpose. The
project has met with the unanimous
approval of the property owners here,
and the petition with the signatuaes
will shortly be forwarded to James A..
Garfield, secretary OF the interior. In
ssmuch az H. N. Savage, chief of the
reclamation service, when in this city,
stated that q petition signed by q
large number of the property owners
of this city would undoubtedly induce
the department of the interior to take
hold of the irrigation of these lands,
it is thought that the petition will be
granted, and that government engin-
eers will this fall begin surveys of the
valley with view to carrying out the
actual irrig alton work next summer.

Suns Heat ignites Coal.

RENO. Aug. 6.-Ten Thousand tons
of coal lying in the Southern Pacific
yards in Sparkle became ignited today
by the suns excessive heat, and all
efforts to extinguish the flames with
water only added to its ferceness.
Continued warmth caused the spon.
taneous combustion, and it is feared

tomorrow the pile supports of the ele-
waited railroad leading to the bunkers

While fire hose was played into the
coal bins today the oxygen seemed to
increase the burning. For five years
in succession the railway officials have
been troubled with these fires, and
until the bunkers are covered from the
sun it is believed the flames will recur
annually.

That Secretary Taft is true friend
of labor is certain, and all the untrue,

him from continuing to be the friend

That President Gompers is wrong in

but as fearful crime against society.
Here you are bound to follow the
whim and fancy OF every changing

have absolutely nothing to do with

FLOUR MILLS IN TROUBLE.

MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. s The Pills.

pany, the largest concern of its kind
in the world, applied for receiver
ship in the United States district
court Eere this morning. Tia officers
of the great corporation appeared in
courtiin support of their petition.
The action was taken because The
company lacked ready cash with
which to purchase wheat to fulfill its
export contracts.
Judge Purdy appointed the follow

The application for receivers has
created surprise, but it is not expected
to cause any furry in milling or
financial circles. The milling in
terests in Minneapolis have enjoyed
an exceptionally good year and the
conditions that affected the Pillsbury-

TAFT TALKS TO LAWYERS.
Reforms Are Necessary In Methods
Of Dealing Out Justice.

Hot SPRINGS, Va, Aug. 6.-Judge
William II. Taft addressed the Vir.
ginia Bar association here today.
There were many prominent lawyers
practicing in the state present, and
Judge Taft was heard with intense in.
terest. He spoke of reforms necessary
in the legal procedure and the system
of dealing out justice through the
courts in this country, and his words
made profound impression. He
spoke in part as follows:
"The chief reason that the state
devotes SO much time and effort to
the administration OF justice between
indivduals in private litigation and
between states. and with persons
charged with crime in public litiga-
tion, is to promote peace and tran
guilty in communities.
Theoretically and abstractly, OF
course, our aim is to secure equal
and exact justice between individuals q
and between states. While we may
properly felicitate ourselves of this
function of our courts, enabling US to
avoid less peaceable methods to SET
tie political and legal questions. have
we the right to say that the present
administration of justice generally in
sures the continued popular satisfac.
tion with its results? I think not.
"Venality among our judges is
rare. The provisions for review and
for free and impartial hearing are
such as generally to give just final
judgments. The inequality that
exists in our present administr alton
OF justice and that sooner or later is
certain to rise and trouble US and call
for popular condemn alton and reform
is in the unequal burden which delays
justice and the expense which litiga-
tion under our present system imposes
upon the poor"

WANT CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
Democratic Managers Hope To
Collect Half Million Dollars.

FA1Rv1Ew, Aug. THE wherewith-
al with which to conduct the dem.
ocratic campaign was the momentous
question under discussion at Fsirview
today. It has been fully realized
that q properly conducted campaign
requires adequate funds to pay the
legitimate expenses, but the question
Of who is to put up the money is one
which has been the subject of more or
less discussion ever since the nomina-
tions at Denver were made. While 1t
Is admitted that from q number OF
source individual contributions OF
considerable size will be made, the
decision has been reached that the
bulk of the fund is expected to come
from the masses. A sum of not less
than five hundred thousand dollars is
regarded as necessary to meet the ex.
penses of the campaign.
The matter was talked over at great
length today by Mr.. Bryan with
former Senator Pettigrew of South
Dakota, q member of the finance COM
mittee, and tonight with Governor c.
N. Haskell, treasurer OF the nation al
committee. The decision was reached
that the finance committee should meet
in Chicago next Monday, aud there
enter upon the work of organization
and the perfecting of plans for raising
the necessary means for the campaign.

1t Is probable that the interstate com.

question of the reasonableness of the
proposed increase Of freight rates in
Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Flor.
ida and portions of South and North
Carolina, in the southern territory.
The decision will have an important
bearing upon rates generally, as the
questions to be determined in respect
to southern rates are largely the same
as may be urged as the basis Of in
crease elsewhere.
The railroads, 1t Is expected, will
urge rs reasons for raising their

from reducing their wages and will
point to decisions to that effect by
Chairman Knapp of the interstate
commerce commission, and Commits
siOner Neill of the bureau of labor
sitting as board of arbitration in
reference to the wages of employees OF
the southern roads. They will point
to reduction of their interstate pas

rates from 3 to 2 cents per mile in Vir.

in two other southern states.
