At Nebish.

Oscar Ellinson, who lives here,
and who has a contract for erect
ing store building at Redby, wa S
in the city today and states that
the forest fire in his neighbour
hood is doing considerable damage
to property. Mr.. Ellinson had
some $500 worth of lumber on the
building site and the fire of yester-
day totally consumed it, entailing
great inconvenience to the con.
tractor. He also states that barn
belonging to H. F. Howe, was
totally destroyed. On his way
to this city he stopped few min.
utes in Nebish and says that the
coal docks together with the Clark
company cedar and 10000 feet OF
lumber, the Granger building were
consumed by the fires of the forest
of that section.

Narrow Escape at MaIIard.

Mallard, April 22.-(Special to
the Pioneer. )-Forest fires have
been raging here all day yesterday
and today, and the country here
abouts this forenoon looks like a
blackened waste, as a result of back.
firing to save the town and valuable
property adjacent to this place.
Yesterday afternoon forest fires
ignited the farm residence of
Charles Mccarthy, three miles south
of Mallard, and Mrs. Mccarthy
barely escaped with her life.
Mrs. Mccarthy was asleep in the
upper story at the house, when the
fire caught on the frame building.
and she awoke to find the rooms
filled with smoke. She rushed out
of the house and to a place of safety,
none too soon. The house and
several small buildings were burned
to the ground, as the fire swept on
in its destructive co urse through the
woods.

At BagIey.

Bagley, April 22.-(Special to the
Pioneer. 1.-The heavy forest fire
that swept over this portion of the
county yesterday destroyed con-
siderable cord wood, several barns
and considerable lumber, which had
been left where portable saw mills
operated last winter. The large
barn and sheep sheds at the Moen
farm, north of Bagley, had a narrow
escape. Had it not been for the
large number of town people who
turned out early in the day to assist
in fighting the fire these buildings
certainly would have went. A
large straw stack within fifty feet of
the buildings took fire and only for
the timely work with buckets of
water and wet blankets the buildings
would have been destroyed.

FOREST FIRE SWEEPING
OVER THE WHOLE COUNTRY
Woman Narrowly Escaped Being Burned, Near Maard.-..
Sawmill Destroyed Near Solway....Big Fire at
Puposky Was Checked By Hard Work.

Forest fires appear to have got
almost beyond control in the coun-
try east of Fosston and north and
south of Bagley and Bemidji, and
much damage has been done, and
in many instances residents on
farms in the timber districts have
been forced to fight desperately to
save their property, and in several
instances some have narrowly es-
capped with their lives.
For many miles north of Bemidji
the air is filled with dense smoke,
which has grown blacker, but word
received in the city during the
past few hours is to the effect that
there is no danger of fire spreading
cityward. Considerable timber
country has been burned over, and
much damage has been done to
standing timber add other property.
kilograms and phone messages
from other places indicate a gen.
eral drynese and combustable mat
ter will easily ignite with disastrous
results.
Rain is much needed and unless
relief comes from that direction
much great damage will result from
fires.

MUCH MONEY REALIZED
FROM GAME and FuRs
Hunters and Trappers Have Made
Big Money. Game Should Be
Protected from Wolves.


The fact that the economic value
of game to the state of Minnesota
has been underestimated has been
received with satisfaction at Saint
Paul, the center of the fur trade.
The value of the furs secured by
Minnesota trappers during the hunt
ing season has been estimated at
over 100000.
Not long ago Professor Lang, of
Saint Paul, estimated that the game
birds, animals and fish of the state
had an economic value of 1000, 900.
From report issued by the State
game and fish commission it is now
evident that it represents the value
of the fur animals alone, and that
with protection, game meat and
fish will soon be worth nearly as
much. The large increase in mink
and musk rats killed IN different
parts of the state admirably justifes
the efficacy of the game laws. The
fur of the musk rat is worth from 10
to IS cents skin.
The mink which is highly priced
is worth from IS to So on account
of the richness and beauty of its
fur. Both have been exceptionally
plentiful throughout the season, and
the people who make business
Of securing these animals for CON-
mercial purposes have beaten all
previous records and obtained over
100000 as the reward of their
industry. It is also reported that
many farmers sons have been
able to earn several hundred dollars
by killing these quadrupede in the
vicinity of their homes.
The game laws, however, are
unable to protect the deer from
the predatory instincts of the tim
Der wolves; and, if they are to be
protected, it seems that steps must
be taken to appoint state wolf
catcher to kill the wolf pups.
The return of herd of caribou
to the region northeast of the north
arm of Red Lake in Beltrami
county, and the steps which have
been taken to prevent the Indians
from killing them, is matter of
congratulation. If these noble
animals are properly protected by
the Indian agent, as they deserve
to be, they will attract lovers Of
wild animals from all parts of the
world, and will become an inter-
esting feature of the state for cen
turtles to come.
