FOREST FIRES
ARE SUBSIDING
LITTLE RIVER C0MPANY'S
MILL IS SAVED
POWDER HOUSE ExPLoDEs WITH
GREAT DAMAGE
only TWO Are Known to Have Been
Killed In confagration Estl-

10000 Acres
Epy Associated Prsss.l

EUREKA, Cal, Sept. 25.-The forest
fire that has been raging in the nortn-
ern part of this county for the pas
three days and nights is now subsidine
somewhat. The tire has swept IRON
Bulwinkle eastward to Carson's camp
and timber, and the danger is past al
the Little River Redwood company
plant.
Later developments show that al
though all the buildings at Little River
were burned, including the cook house
cabins and powder house, which ex-
ploded last night at o'clock with great
resulting damage, the main mill, valued
at 100000, is so far practically unin-
jured, leaving the total loss about
S125,O00 well Insured. The fire there Is
still smouldering, but is safe unless
the wind comes up again, which now
seems probable, as it has been increas-
ing within the last few hours.
The main hope of the superintendent
of the plant is in the huge reservoir,
which is to be credited with the safety
of the main mill so far.
The fire has threatened TO cut on
pipe and If this should happen the
whole plant would be doomed. Crews
OF men are bending all their energy to
saving the mill.
A late telephone message from Car
sons camp, owned by William Carson,
ST., the wealthiest lumberman in this
county, states that the fire has now
swept in there from Bulwinkle, dis
tance of seven miles, and the only hope
of saving the camp is that the wind
may die down and not come UP again.
The green timber was merely SCARED.
It is impossible to place a figure on the
damage at present, but with the Lit
tie River company loss 1t will easily
total s20.000 exclusive of thousands of
cords OF bolts and ties that were burned
and timber that was destroyed.
So far but two deaths are known
to have occurred-Charles Schmidt,
at first identified as being Frank Wet
more. and the body of an Indian, said
to have been found at Trinidad. Hum
dreds of squatters and bolt makers
are known to have lived in the burned
district, and although hundreds escaped
as refugees, bereft Of all their possess
sions, there may have been some who
met death in the blazing timber
Everyone excepting a few fire fighters
was compelled to leave there last night
on account of the sitting smoke. and
grave danger is imminent.
At present the fire Is spreading but
little Smaller fires throughout the
country still smouldering need but
wind to fan them into a blazing inferno
again.
Up to date the fire has swept from
Trinidad on the north to Little river
and Carson's camp on the south, em-
bracing a wide strip of the timber belt.
Even If it does not spread again it is
roughly estimated to have covered an
area of about $4,000 or 10000 acres.

HITCHCOCK GIVES REASONS
FOR RESIGNATION OF Du POINT

| NEW YORK, Sept 25.-In an elabo-
ration of the announcement of Du
| Points resignation, Chairman Hitch
cock said that Gen. Du Pont had re-
| signed because he felt that the PEN
Ndency of the suit by the government
against the powder company with
which he is connected might be en-
ployed by our opponents to the injury
of the campaign to which he Is so
earnestly devoted. His resignation,
therefore, had been accepted
Mr.. Hitchcock said no successor to
Gen. Du Pont had yet been selected.
but that action in this matter would
follow soon.
When asked If President Roosevelt
and Mr.. Taft had not objected to Mr..
Du Pont at the time of his appoint
ment, Chairman hitchcock replied In
directly that the chairman of the ma
tionai committee always made such ap-
pointments and in this case he Glitch
cock) assumed all responsibility, as he
assumed full responsibility for other
things done in this campaign.
From now on the campaign, accord
ing to Hitchcock, is to be aggressive
along the whole line. Reports received
by him while he was in Chicago were
most encouraging, he said, including
advices from every campaign manager
in the west.
Asked as to the advisory assistance
he was receiving from Senator w. MUIR
ray Crane of Massachusetts,, Mr. Hitch
cock said he had already received
valuable assistance from the senator
and he hoped to see him frequently
during the remainder of the campaign.
Before taking up the resignation of
Mr.. Du Pont today Chairman Hitch
cock had a conference with Represen-
tative Mckinley of the congressional
campaign committee, in which plans
for pushing effectively the congression-
al campaign were informally canvassed.
Following this Vice Presidential Can
didate Sherman met Chairman Hitch
cock and the latter gave to Mr.. Sher-
man an outline of the work to be done
| from now to the finish of the campaign.

geles hoping to recover a fortune he
had lost in real estate speculation and
mining deals, and while his health was
not good. he was enthusiastic and made
brave efforts to amass fortune. He
was familiar with all manner of real
estate operations and engaged in that
business, For a while he prospered;
then his health began to break and he
was unable to properly attend to his
business. He persevered and whenever
able TO get about would work faith
fully trying to secure enough money
with which to live in ease during his
declining years,
His condition finally became such that
he had to give up his business, and
then he was taken care of by kind
hearted widow. From time to time he
earned little money by selling prop
erty on commission.
Asked In Vain for Help
when his health began to fail he mo-
tilted his wealthy relatives in the east
and asked them TO contribute to his
s,Inport until such time as he was able
to care for himself. This was refused,
and when he became stronger he bor-
rowed money and went to New York.
He was again repuised ana sent back
to California. This action of his wealthy
cousins seemed to break his heart and
he lost interest in life.

Of the convention itself. Col. Doran said he had never attended one in this territory which had been more regu- larly conducted than this one. There was not flaw in the record and the proceedings from parliamentary point of view, were faultless with one possible exception and thar was not vital II would perhaps have been in keeping with precedent if the appoint ment of the resolutions committee had not been made until after action had been taken on the report of the ere dentials committee. However. Chair man Herring had ruled that the con- vention as ultimately organized. would be allowed to pass upon all resolutions which might be offered.
 For the sake of harmony. said Col. Doran, there had been a disposition on the part of the Yavapai delegation to enter into any reasonable and hon. orable compromise. That delegation was the pivot by the way, on which the convention revOlved. and would have been in position to enter into d compromise if the other side had cared less for the offices and more for good of the party. There were only two things upon which the Yavapai members were insistent One was strong Foraker commendatory res olution. and the other was that there should be no Taft instructions or any endorsement of Taft, which would nullify the Foraker resolution or be inconsistent with it.
