DANGER POINT IS PASSED
MINNESOTA TOWNS SAVED FROM
FOREST FIRES.
Refugees Are Returned to Their
Homes-Hymers, Ont, Reported
to Be In Peril.

Duluth, MIMI, Sept. 15.-While for
est fires are still burning along the
north shore, it is believed, they have
passed the danger point SO far as the
threatened destruction of villages Is
concerned. Hundreds OF thousands of
dollars worth of good timber is being
destroyed however,
Grand Marais, Chicago Bay, Love
land, Big Bay, Pigeon river and
other smaller settlements Immediately
along the shore are thought TO be
safe. The situation on the Mesaba
range is also greatly. improved and
the, flames in that territory have now
reached stage where they are no
longer considered dangerous to the
towns.
Under orders from Gen. c. c. An
drews, state fire warden, Chief John
t. Black Of the local fire department,
sent 40 men to the scene of the worst
fires above Grand Marais Sunday
morning. Although the settlements
are no longer in immediate danger
there will be plenty of work for these
men, for 1t is their purpose to save
as much timber from destruction as
possible. A hard downpour of rain
would put an end to the flames.
The refugees picked up at differ
ent points along the shore and taken
to Grand Marais have been returned
to their homes by the Gopher. The
homes and possessions of the settlers
back of Grand Marais were destroyed
by forest fires last Friday, according
to advices received from the steamer
America. The fire on Isle Royale has
subsidized and the damage there is said
to be less than at first reported.
Fort William Ont, Sept ia set
tier who came in from Hymers says
that bush fires are around the settle
ment, and that high wind would
mean total destruction. The water
supply is also very short and White
Fish river is now almost dry. Fires
extend all the way from Westfort to
Gun Flint on the international bound
airy line, The blaze around Westfort
on the borders of this city is not as
serious now, as the wind has shifted
away from the city. Trainmen say
that the entire forest from Nipegon
to Mackenzie is on fire. The situation
is about the same on the Indian re-
serve. Hymers is on the Duluth ex-
tension, 80 miles southeast of here.

REPUBLICANS WIN
MAINE ELECTION
USUAL MAJORITY, HOWEVER, is
GREATLY REDUCED.
THE DEMOCRATS ARE PLEASED
National Issues Are Not Potent ia
Influencing Result-Rert Fernai,
of Portland, is Elected
Governor.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 15.-Although
the Republicans came off victorious In
the state election Monday, Bert M.
Fernald Of Poland being chosen gov
ernor over Obadiah Gardner of Rock
land, the Democrats had the satisfac-
ton of seeing the normal Republican
plurality cut to less than 10000 votes
for the first time In presidential year
for more than quarter of a century.
All four Republican candidates for
congress were elected and for state
auditor, Charles p. Hatch Of Augusta
(Rep.) defeated his opponent.
Republican Plurality 5000.
At 1880 Monday night returns for
governor from all the cities and 400
towns and plantations out of 499 gave
Fernald tRep.) 6S.500. Gardner (Dem)
Gl,616. The same places in 1904 gave
Cobb CRep), 70,SS2; Davis (Dcm) 49,
712.
This shows a Republican loss of four
per cent. and Democratic gain of so
ger cent. On this basis-the Repub-
lican plurality in the state was esti-
mated at about 5000.
The result, which was much closer
than any of the Republican leaders
had anticipated, showed not only the
warmth of the contest, but the popu-
arity of Nv. Gardner throughout the
state, in the cities as well as in the
little rural districts where his fame
as the head of the state grange, pa
irons CT industry, proved great vote
gamer.
Local Issues Were Popular.
The Republicans were on the de
fensive throughout the campaign, seek
ing to hold the state by the usual plu-
rality by answering the various Dem
ocratic arguments, which were mainly
for resubmission of the prohibitory
Jaw, taxation of the wild lands and re-
form in administrative methods. But
little was said Of national issues, al.
though the Republicans, through out
side speakers, sought at various points
to bring such subjects to the atten-
ton of the people.
Local issues, however, proved more
campaign the Republicans Joined with
their opponents in discussing them
and in doing so strongly defended the
so-called Sturgis law and urged the
voters to support its stringent meth
DDS in the enforcement of the cause
of prohibition. The result of the hard
work by party managers and speakers
on both sides was large increase in
the turnout of voters, nearly 100000
going to the polls. number which
was within few thousand of the rec
ord for the state.
Bryan Is Much Pleased.
baltimore, Md, Sept. 15.--Upon his
