Houghton, Mich, Sept. 5.-The
losses by forest fires in the upper

heaviest on record
The forest fires which have been
raging in Houghton county for the
last few days sprang up afresh dur
ing last night, and today Houghton
and the entire Portage lake district
is enveloped in dense pail of smoke
occasioning much alarm.
To the east there are no fires
within 8 miles of the towns, but to
the south the woods are burning to

Millions of feet of timber have so

busy themselves in the laudable and
necessary work of framing up the
program to be pulled off later in the
day.
Afternoon Session.
Scenting carnage. a large number
of spectators lined the hall when
Chairman Barrick called the after
noon session to order. He urged
brevity and expedition and called for
the reports of committees.
There being no contests, the com
mittee on credentials recommended
the adoption of the lists as submit
ted. and that delegates present could
cast the vote of absentees by pre-
cin,l The report was adopted with
out opposition.
The first ripple came when the
committee on order of business rec
commended that the nominations for
representative come last on the list,
instead of first. as in the call. DR..
Parker moved its adoption, but |. n.
Whitehead moved to amend so as
to follow the call; but so well did
the machine have matters in hand
that the report was adopted with a
whoop.
Scott Mckinney of the committee
to name state and judicial delegates
then reported the following, which
was adopted without opposition.

made to get everything in shape for

then broke ths .ccoid for quick work
The opposition to the machine had
been crushed into apparent submis-
sion so the oiled program came off
quickly.
Forenoon Session.
Early in the day it was apparent
that matters We're not going smooth
ly with either the republican ma
chine or the candidates, the latter
being legion.
A hitch in the order of nomina-
tions was largely responsible for the
delay in calling the convention to
order. The main point at issue was
the Office of representative, it being
the desire of the leading candidates
to postpone nominations until the
end of the list This was to allow
certain of the would-be representa-
tives better opportunities for trad
ing support on the other offices.
A large number of the free-think-
ing delegates were opposed to this
plan, urging that Justice and Gus
tom required close adherence to the
official call which provided that u
candidate for representative be nom
mated first.
The steam roller" was not work
ing extra well so early in the game,
and the point had not been settled
when the convention was called to
order an hour late.

man John r. Mann. few beside dele

hush and a tense atmosphere, not
unlike that preceding decisive bat
tie or championship prize fight, per-
vaded the gathering, as it was gen.
orally believed that there would be
something doing before the session
was over.
On motion, the reading of the con-
vention call was dispensed with.
A. e. Barrick of Clifton was the

chairman. He went straight to busi-
ness, and in few seconds A. c. New
