FOREST FIRES
GROWING WORSE
Hundreds of Thousands of
Acres of TimberIand
Are Burned Over.
II TOWNS ENDANGERED.
BUSINESSES ARE DISPATCH
ED WITH MEN TO HELP IN THE
BATTLE.

Duluth, Mimi. Sept. 12.-The forest
fires in northern and northeastern and
eastern Mime sofa and northwestern
Wisconsin are growing worse.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of
tim Der land already have been burned
over and the loss of standing timber
on the north shore of Lake Supe rior
alone is estimated at 100000.
Grand Marais, a town of 1900 per-
sons, 100 miles from Duluth on the
north shore and Beaver Bay. eighty
miles northeast, are reported ablaze
and it is feared both will be destroy
ed.
The training ship Gopher has sue
ceeded in removing the inhabitants of
Grand Marias and the ste Ameri-
ca has gone to Beaver Bay to bring
away the people as the result of an
appeal to Gov. Johnson.
Practically the entire north shore
and Mesaba range districts are ablaZe
and scores of small towns and settle
ments are in danger of destruction.
Telephone and telegraph connections
are practically cut off, so that the fate
of the more distant hamlets is I'M
known
Many Towns In Danger
Among the larger places in danger
are: Coleraine, Bovey, Nashwauk,
Marble, Hibbing. Bull, Big Bay, Chi
cago Bay. Cotton, Aurora, Mountain
Iron, Benshall. Fort William, Ont, Hy-
mers, Ont, Port Arthur, Ont, Cascade
and Nutson.
There is but little hope that these
can escape serious loss. if not total
destruction, unless there is rain with
in a few days. The inhabitants are
putting up a brave fight against the
flames.
Hibbing, a town of nearly 10000
persons, has had to fight almost con-
stantly for two days.
The inhabitants there are being aid
ed in their fight by the refugees from
Chisholm, who have been supplied
with food and shelter since the de-
struction of their own homes on Sat
urday.
The Great Northern, Northern Pa
cific, Duluth, Missabe and Northern,
Duluth, Rainy Lake and Winnipeg,
Duluth and Iron Range, Duluth and

trains out fighting to save property
long the lines and protect bridges
and stations.

the mines at Bovey Nashwauk, Bull,
Aurora and other places at different
times to fight fire and are subject TO

This paper is in receipt OF a letter
and contract from the American Pro.
tective Tariff League, which offers to
furnish plate matter editorials advo-
eating the Republican high protective
tariff free for use in the paper. To
do this for all of the papers of the
United States will cost the League
hundreds of thousands of dollars, and
the trusts, which are the beneficiaries
of the robbing tariff, are putting up
the money. If the trusts can afford
to do this they are making millions
out of this same high protective tariff
of the Republican party, amt they?
And you, dear horney-handed son OF
toll, are getting it in the neck for
those same millions. Is this good
logic, or is it not? Yes, Mr.. Protec-
tion League, we will run your boiler

WHAT ABOUT SHERMAN, MR..
PRESIDENT?

If Theodore Roosevelt is really
looking for undesirable public men
he need go no further than the Re.
publican national ticket. Let him in.
quire how many millions of dollars OF
Indian oil leases have been given
away since James Sherman was made
chairman OF the committee on Indian
AFFAIRS of the house of representa-.
tives. Let him find out what the In.
dams ever got for these leases in ex.
cess of bottle of whiskey. Let him
find out how many times those leases
were given away in some omnibus
appropriation bill. and how few were
granted in bills whose title stated
their contents.
If the Republican party proposes to
appeal to the conscience. the patriot.
ism and the incorruptible citizenship
of the country It must rid itself of the
candidacy of James Sherman or its
campaign is forgery on its face

shall the big-mitt rule? Were not
you and yours in power. and have
you not been in power for four long
years? Have you anything good to say
for those who have been in power
these four long years? If so, why
not express your appreciation of your
co-workers at the state house in these
various epistles written by you for the
edification of the public? We would
like to know what excuse or reason
you can give for the continuance In
power of the Republican party in this
state.
VIII you kindly show what good
what is commonly called the Silly"
Sixteenth General Assembly did for
the people of this state other than to
expend all the money possible i. could
get hold OF for any old graft that was
possible to be thought Of In 1904
this party of which you are a member.
In the general assembly was known as
the most corrupt assembly that ever
entered the halls of the State Capitol.
You know, or ought to know, the rea.
sons why the Peabody war bill, which
at that time by committee of Re
publicans was cut down from $500, 900
to 100000. 1t was because the people
who had paid out the money and taken
warrants would not agree to a graft
OF 100000. 1t was defeated, and
now the people of the state of Colo.
rado are asked to vote bonds of $780,
900 to pay of a bill which upon com
mittee report was 100000. Why this
great difference between 1904 and
1906?
In your plea for honesty, why do
you evade the questions which are at
issue in this campaign and devote
your energies to Hon. John F. Shat.
froth? Because the signs of the times
show emphatically that the people
are tired of Buchtels, Peabodies and
McDonalds, and are as we'll informed
about Hon. John Shafroth, his hon.

good old way of public addresses, we
are presented the spectacle of Jesse
Mcdonald, Republican nominee for
Governor, gum shoeing his way
around the state with Luther NJ. God
dard. the corporation judge and rene
gade Democrat. Mcdonald is afraid
to take the platform in some COM
munities for fear that he be asked
how it happened that he became Gov
ernor without having received soii-
tary vote for that office. The truth is
that Mr.. Mcdonald has no idea to pre-
sent and no intelligent means of ex-
pressing any if he had. His thinking
is done for him by the corporations
which ever found him a ready tool.
Wonder if Jesse Mcdonald expects
to be elected Governor by the same
infamous practice as put into The ex-

The Democrats stand for an honest

Governor and will take his seat in

IMPROVEMENTS BY
 SPRINGDALE MILLING CO.

]. $. Ewalt, of the Springdale Milling Company, continues to make improvements on the prop erty. He has recently built an addition of 22x70 feet north of the engine room in which to store coal. and when new wheat begins to come in a portion of the room will be fitted up as storage room. The engine room has been enlarged, and a brick floor laid in front of the boiler, and the room generally overhauled and put in good shape
 All three floors of the main building have been cleaned up, machinery dusted and wiped, and now when you buy Challenge four you can have every assur- anee that it is perfectly clean. The careful housewife who brides herself on her neat housekeeping should go down and see how clean mill can be kept.
 T he grass and weeds around the building have been moved, and the premises put in apple ple order generally. A visit to the mill IS worth the time of any one.
 Mr. Ewalt has recently pur- the property west of the mill and now owns all the land adjoining the mill through which the creek runs.

 But little damage was done in town except to shade trees, and practically every place ia town suffered more or less in this re- speet. In some places the trees were blown down, and in others only limbs were blown off.

THIS COUNTRY
 IS ALL RIGHT.
Crops in Much Better Condition Than Many People
 Imagine.

A trip through tie country now will convince anyone that this section IS in much better shape. so far as crops are concerned, than many people would have us believe. Cat harvest Is about over with, and IL is safe 10 say that never in the history of this section, was the crop so good as this year.
 Wheat IS now being harvested, and although this crop is not So good as oats, there will be an average yield.
 of those who are prone 10 look on the dark side, have been lamenting the fact that there would be little or no corn this year, but fl such persons will take trip out through the country they will find plenty of evidence to convince them 10 the contrary. Growing corn is black and thrifty looking, and in many places is clean, showing the ef- fleets of thorough cultivation.
 Taking everything into eonsid- eration, the farmers in this sec ton are probably In better shape and have better. prospects than those of any other section of the country.

Ballard, pastor of the Baptist Church, whose sub jeet was Life. He told his hearers that their lives would be just what they made them, and that they should strive 10 live right II for no other reason than the satisfaction such a course would bring in this life.
 The benedietion was pronounc- ed by Rev. Ledbetter, pastor of the NJ. E. Church, South. and the march was taken up to Bluff Cemetery. After the introdue- tory exercises an address was de- llvered by Prof. ]. H. Reynolds of Fayetteville, taking for his subject Law of serviee-of nat ural helpfulness. It was timely and to the point. He spoke of the principles of the two orders, and said we needed more men of the character of President Roose- welt and Governor Folk, men who would dare to do their duty in the lace of whatever opposition.
 Then followed the decoration of the graves of the deceased members of the two orders, while the band rendered appropriate selections, after which the lodges returned to the hall and dis banded.
