FOREST FIRES SILL RAGE
Wanton Negligence Cause of Much
Destruction by Flames.

Destruction by Flames.
The forest fires which have been
burning in the vicinity of Bemidji for
several days were stopped to a great
extent by shower of rain, but the
rainfall was not heavy enough entire
ly to extinguish the flames and it is
possible that much damage will be
done before the fires are entirely
stopped.
Considerable complaint has been
made concerning the carelessness of
people who set fires in the vicinity of
timber. 1t is said that there are sew
eral instances where there has been
wanton negligence in the matter of
extinguishing fires which, when left,
were but small affairs and which later
destroyed much standing timber.

We understood the Rebekahs
were to install their newly elected
officers Wednesday evening and
went to the lodge to witness the
ceremony, but behold, instead OF
an installation there was work in
the degree and three good Rebek.
abs were made members of the
lodge. Upon inquiry we found
that at the previous meeting the
following members were installed
Mrs. Hattie Mckinney, N. O.,
Mrs. Anna Hathaway, V. G..

The team work in the initiation
was particularly good. A little
practice would make them perfect,
and the work Is the incest we have
ever seen put on a floor. We hope
our sisters will meet their captain
every Tuesday evening aud prae-
tice their drill. A few times will
suffice to perfect them in the work.

Furnish Their Own Power.

Last week we mentioned the
fact that the Harris Brothers were
going to furnish their own power
for their ice plant. The following
from the Daily Abstract will ex-
plain their plans more fully.
The first gas producer plant"
ever installed in Portland is being
placed in position in the new fac
tory of the Harris Ice Machine Co.
at st. Johns. This plant is guar
anteed to produce one horse power
hour on one and one-fourth pounds
of coal. The machine being in
stalled at St. Johns is a so-horse
producer engine. Anything inflam-
mable can be burnt in these ma
chimes, as coal, wood, sawdust,
bark or even sewage when com
pressed. The city of Glasgow
Scotland, disposes of its sewage in
this manner and secures power
from 1t to run its car service and
lighting plant. The plant is being
installed by the Pacific Electric
Co. Of this city.
