(HE AD|RoNDAcKs ON FIRE
Five Thousand Men Fight Spread
ing Flames.
At Least $4,000 Acres of Valuable
Forest Lands in New York Threat
i. ened With Destruction.

North Creek, N. Y.-The forest fire
conditions in all parts of the Adiron-
dacks are growing worse hourly, with
no sign of relief. Although at least
5000 men are engaged in fighting the
flames day and night, not a single
fire has been checked, and the smaller
burning areas are rapidly spreading
into CONGREGATIONS, which in some in
stances are coalescing.
At least $4,000 acres of valuable
forest lands are On fire and the extent
of the destruction may be much great
er. A big fire has broken out at
North Hudson, in Essex County,
where ESQ men are fighting it on both
sides. This fire is already miles in
extent. Small fires are s%pringing up
in a hundred localities and the situa-
ton is becoming extremely alarming.
Gangs of men are being rushed
into the woods from the large cities
to fight the fires. At the North Woods
Club, a popular resort twenty miles
north of here, patronized by fashion
able people, many of the guests who
had come up to hunt are leaving and
fastening back to their city homes, as
fires are burning on all sides of the
club property and the smoke condi-
tons are extremely annoying.
In the village of North Creek the
smoke is so dense that at 9 o'clock a.
m. it was impossible to see fifty yards.
Sun, moon and stars have been OBJ
scured for several days, and at night
the roads are SO dark that it is dan
gerOuS to venture uDOn them. Never
has it been known to be so dry in this
locality. The highways are a mass of
heavy dust, the streams are drying
up and the supply of drinking water
is almost exhausted.

Albany, N. Y.-Colonel William F.

said that, while reports were being

we're all practically under control.
Fire patrols are being maintained in
various sections of the Adirondacks,
and the fire wardens are being en-
ployed day and night. Colonel Fox
said:
Although many fires have broken
out we have them under control. The
reports of the fires and the damage
done are exaggerated. This is espe-
cially true Of the reports from North
Creek"
Colonel Fox regards the fire re-
ported near Big Crooked Lake, in the

A FINE RECORD.

Preston News: We have closely
followed the remarkable work done
by Congressman Burton L. French
in the house Of representatives, and
view wi b pride the envia BILE position
which he has attained in that au-
gust body. He has been the author
Of several measures which have
passed, for the benefit Of the people
Of his home state, and his work will
rank with the most representative
men in the house.
UP to the present momeut we
have not seen fit to change orr opin-
ion from a former article. His
manly and upright character is SO
we'll known that he needs no ex-
tended enconiums from US, for hard
work aud assiduous attention to
duty has endeared him to all mem
bers Ct the Grand Old Party.
Changes used to be very frequent
in congressional bodies, hut now-a-
days constituents have arrived at
the conclusion that the office should
seek the man and not the man the
office, and as Mr.. French has shown
his loyalty and faith to the Gem
state, the length of time which he
has represented the people should
not be bar to returning him again
to the halls of congress.
1t is men who have the character
of honesty and integrity that we
need at Washington. Men with
hearts, with a mind, with will.
Men who will stand Loyalty by their
state, irrespective of party ties.
Brave menl Strong menl Men
who have opinions and a will
Men whom the lust Of office can
not kill. And when any of Idaho's
sons show these traits the term Of
office is really Of very little import.
Mr.. French is a man who is
greatly admired. No subterfuge or
egotism there. He handles vital
questions in grave, methodical
way, and he accomplishes more by
works than loud mouthed, frothy
orators-and it is such men as he
that we need to act as a balance
wheel to the excited ones. Mr..
French should be returned.

PROHIBITION COMING
WESTWARD.

Whatever any one can say or
do, the temperance movement is
the one great social phenomenon
OF the generation. Oregon has
just gone so nearly dry that all
but 20 counties will henceforth
have no saloons. A number of
towns in the north part of Idaho
have just done the same-voted
dry. Moscow is one, and the
mayor Of the city, who was a
Shoshone visitor last week, says
that the change for the better is
wonderfully marked. The near
by town of Pullman has gone
dry also, according to the mayor.
Pendleton, Oregon, which form
erly had AZ saloons, is now as
dry as a bone.
Idaho is going to fall into the
same line, in the next very few
years. 1t is partly moral,
partly a social, and partly an ec-
onomic crusade. The temperance
issue as it has been presented
through the prohibition party,
is doomed to as great failure in
the future as it has been in the
past. Prohibition is not a DO
litical system; it cannot take the
place Of political parties which
are primarily for conducting the
business affairs of city, county,
state, nation. Butnon-partisan
restriction of the liquor traffic is
coming sofast that five years ago
the present list of prohibition
states would have been deemed
an impossible dream. Idaho will
come to prohibition as the old
parties have come to so many
other social and business reforms
through the education and de-
sire OF the masses and not
through having the issue made
and handed them like pills which
nauseate even though they may
do good. The national plat
forms of this year will contain
many declarations that 20 years
ago were considered the vagaries
ofpopulistic wind-iammers. But
the people have grown up to these
ideas, and even Roosevelt the
idolized is sometimes considered a
conservative, though heis shown
to be more radical than the pop
ulists and reformers who were
once held to be dangerous because
OF their ideas which he had
adopted.
But whatever argument of per-
sonal liberty, business interests,
political expediency, or anything
else that may be brought up, the
temperance wave is coming to
Idaho very soon; probably not
later than the next election after
this.-Shoshone journal.

TO CELEBRATE
 IN BULGARIA.

Sofia. Bulgaria, Aug. 15.-Celebra- tions are being held today throughout Bulgaria to commemorate the twenty first anniversary of the accession of Ferdinand as prince of Bulgaria and the consequent freedom of the country from Turkish thralldom.
 During Ferdinand's reign Bulgaria has made many advances toward a wider and freer liberty. Moslems, Jews. Roman Catholics and the vari- ous sects of the Eastern Christian churches now live in amity. The cred it of the nation has become better than ever before.
 The only blot on Ferdinand's reign was the assassination of the prime minister, Stambouloff, to whom Ferdl- nand owed his throne. Stamboulof was called the Bulgarian Bismarck and was a statesman of great ability. His cold-blooded murder on the streets ot Sofia is as yet unpunished and there is still suspicion in many quar- ters that Ferdinand shared in the re- sponsibility for the crime.
