FOREST FIRES {
 STILL RAGING. Thousands Without Food
 and Shelter. MANY TOWNS IN PERIL.

Naval Reserves Rescue Hundreds Driv.

 FIames-sail Up Just In Time to
 Save Lives Endangered by Fire and
 smoke-Lumbsr Camps Wiped Out
 Loss May Exceed That of Recent Dis
 aster In British Columbia.
 Duluth, Minn., Sept. F. = Whole counties have been swept clear of tim Der by the forest fires now, raging over the country around this city, northern Michigan and lower Ontario. Beaver Bay, on the north shore of Lake Su- perior, is in ashes, and its 2,000 inhab- itants are homeless and without food or shelter. After battling for three days against the march of the fire the 1,500 persons in Grand Marais, also on the north shore, were forced to flee, and it is believed the town will be wiped out.
 Several hundred men, women and children were saved from death on the shore of Lake Superior by the na- val reserves manning the steamer Gopher. The vessel was lying off Grand Marais and cruised up and down the shore fronting on the fire A mother with baby three months old was driven into the lake, and a rowboat from the steamer rescued both when sparks were falling around them in showers.
 Baby Dies In Smoke.
 About fifty persons sought refuge on a point of land projecting into the lake south of Grand Marais. A shift in the wind sent the flames and smoke straight in their direction, and the Gopher came up just in time to save all from death. As it was six .insen- sible women were carried away, and a baby died from the thick smoke which rolled over the place.
 Port Arthur and Fort William, both in Ontario, are surrounded by flames. and it is feared both will be burned down. The whole country to east and west of these towns has been caught in the rush of the fire, and besides the two towns mentioned half a dozen vil- lages are doomed.
 Country Burns For Thirty Miles.
 The lumber camps of George Moor ing and the Pigeon River company. on Pigeon river, have been swept clean, and the country for distance of thir- ty miles is ablaze
 It is believed the loss will amount to several million dollars, with the pos sfbility the amount may exceed the $10 100000 in the British Columbia forest fires of few weeks ago. Only a, heavy rainfall now can stop the flames, and the weather bureau pre- diets dry weather for at least two days to come.

SPECIAL DISPATCH 10 THE CALI,


RENO. New. March 1s.-Failipg to
make any effort to pay a personal note
which he had signed, Governor John
Sparks of Nevada today had a judg-
ment rendered against him in the dis
trict court for the sum of s2.244s7. The
note is held by w. II. Mccormick. one
of the best known bankers of Salt Lake
City.
Mccormick made several attempts to
force collection on the note since it be-
came due more than a year ago and
finally resorted to the court for redress.
Governor Sparks failed to make any an
swer to the suit and accordingly iudg-
ment was rendered against him today.

that the governor had settled the mat
ter since the suit was filed two months
ago. and were surprised at the courts
decision today.
