ONTARIO COAL Is BURNING.
Thousands of Tons Set ON Fire at C.
Il. Docks.

Tacoma, Wash.-A special to the
News from Fort William, Ont, saws;
The most destructive coal fire that
ever visited the head of the lakes has
been in progress for several weeks at
the Canadian Pacific coal docks. To
combat the conflagration and save
tens of thousands of tons of soft coal
that is threatened, the railroad COM
pany is resorting to every known
means of extinguishing the blaze. The
fight has so far been without result.
Hundreds of tons have been reduced
to ashes and thousands of tons more
may go before the fire is checked. The
coal is in mountainous piles.
Famed by gusts of wind. clouds of
smoke and flame burst forth at
night, giving the appearance of a min
iature volcano in eruption. In an ex-
treme effort to eXtinguish the
blaze the company is preparing to put
a steam shovel in operation, 1t will
be weeks, however, before the seat
of the blaze is reached if this method
is successful. Spontaneous combus-
ton is responsible for the disastrous
fire.

The restaurant was crowded with

Jones OF Baker City, was the best
ground gamer of the season. He is
a man of powerful strength weighing

Jones tore through the Pendleton line

fulls for a school team.

players are hard to select. Probably
Niles of Weston should be given a
place over the other men for this po-

good runner in a broken field, as well
as being quick to fathom the plays
of their opponents and a good open
field tackler. Niles is an excellent
man for the back field for the reason
he feels the benefit of team work, al

himself AS much could be said of

will be given to Finch OF Baker City.
