A BAD COUNTY ROAD.

We have received a complaint as
to the condition Of the public road
between Walhalla and Russells,
which, the complaint says, "is almost
impossible. The same complaint
comes from many of those who at
tended the Long Creek campaign
meeting.
The road leading from Walhalla to
Russells is one of the very important
county roads, and it should be look
ed after at once. 1t Is stated that
the road itself Is badly washed. the
heavy rains of couple of weeks ago
having LETT gullies innumerable in
places, while large rocks have been
left jutting out all along the road,
the whole condition being horrible.
We suggest that the proper au-
thorities take the matter up at once.
Proper repairs now will doubtless
save many dollars in the future. If
all reports be true, this road needs
immediate attention.

SOME HOME MADE HOsiERY.

Under the above caption the An
derson Daily Mail of recent date had
this to say:
The hosiery manufactured by the
Walhalla Knitting Mill is being push
ed by Henderson Bros, brokers', OF
this city. They have had some Of the
mems hosiery packed in boxes of
three, to sell for SO cents per box,
with this promise, Three pairs of
these hose will last you for three
months Good hose like these. man
ufactured by home concern, and put
up In such an attractive manner,
ought to have big sale"
And they are having q big sale.
The orders for hosiery received by the
Oconee Knitting Mill within the past
few months have more than doubled
and the beauty Of 1t is, the most Of
these orders are coming as dupli-
Gates. Those who are handling the
products Of the Oconee Knitting Mill
are finding the goods not only up to
the guarantee, but above 1t. 1t Is a
striking feature with regard to the
duplicate orders now coming in that
they all call for "the same goods
as We received before"
The mill is running full time, and
each mail brings additional orders
Not only is this true, but last week 25
new machines were received and are
being installed as rapidly as possible.
When all are up and running full
time the capacity Of the mill will be
increased at least 25 per mt.
1t is given on good authority that
the present output Of the Oconee
Knitting Mill is equal to that OF the
best mills North and East, and sube-
rior to many of them. The mills
reputation is staked on their new "Is-
Saquena" brand OF hosiery, which Is
proving popular and a good wearer.
The latest move forward by the
mill is the putting up Of their socks
so cents, with the mills guarantee
behind them. This mill is a Wal
halla enterprise, and the people Of
Walhalla should push it for all 1t Is
worth. 1t is an enterprise of which
we may justly be proud. People all
over the county will do well to call
for 30. X. NJ" and "IssaQuena" ho-
siery. Every pair sold helps an in
dustry which in turn helps the whole
county. The sooner we learn to boost
those articles MADE In Oconee," the
sooner will We learn how best to help
ourselves.

Bush Fires Sweep British Columbia
Burning Everything.

Winnipeg, Manitoba. Aug. 2.-As
| a result Of bush fires that started
yesterday, and still rage for many
miles, Fernie, b. c., Is wiped off the
map; Michel, IA miles distant, is in
flames and the fate of Hosmer, Olsen
and Sparwood, intervening towns, Is
in doubt, as they are cut off from
| communication.
More than one hundred lives were
| reported lost, "A of them in Fernie.
A territory 100 square miles N eX-
| tent is a seething mass OF flames.
Through 1t are scattered hundreds
of lumber men and prospectors, so
that the actual loss of life will not
be known for days. Much property
of the Canadian Pacific and the
Great Northern railways Is Destroy
ed, including bridges and rolling
stock burned, so that 1t Is impossi-
Bile to enter or leave the burning
area. Inhabitants Df the affected
towns have fled to open country to
seek safety. The railway companies
have placed all available trains at
the disposal OF refugees, and unless
there is a change Of wind within the
next twenty-four hours the whole of
the Crows Nest Pass country will be
abandoned to the flames.
There Is no possibility Of estimat-
ing the loss of life and property
which will result, for the flames are
driven by a half gale, making 1T i'm
possible to put up a fight against
their advance. The conflagration Is
the greatest which has ever visited
Canada.
The whole country is a seething
fire on the Crows Nest Line of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad.
Hosmer, Canadian Pacific smell
ter town, was wiped out. Thousands
are fleeing from Michel to the open
country.
Bush fires are raging from Gran
brook to the Crows Nest. The wind
is blowing a heavy gale, and all
available men are fighting the fire,
and west of Cranbrook it is under
control. Geographic communication
with Fernfe, Hosmer and Michel is
out.
Four men lost their lives trying to
save the huge Great Northern
Bridge, fifteen miles west Of Michel,
but 1t was destroyed. 1t Is feared
Michel also Is doomed, as the fire Is
sweeping eastward down the Crows
Nest, and unless the wind shifts the
whole Crows Nest country Will be
laid waste.
Hosmer, Elko, Sparwood, Olson
and Cokato are reported to be de-
stroyed.
r'he Canadian Pacific Railroad is
rushing relief trains with doctors,
nurses, food and clothing to the des-
titute.
A bulletin from Michel says:
This town is doomed unless the
wind changes. Canadian Pacific

has wired Mayor Ashdon, of Winni-
peg, for relief, saying there are 5000

While Francis w. Foley has not yet prayed out an injunction in the courts interrupting the work of the Art Metal company of Jamestown, N. T., In furnishing the freproof vaults at city hall, his friends say that after he assumes his position as head of the board of public works today some. thing will drop right around near city hall.
 He has not yet presented Controller J. N.
