BIG TREES BURNING.
Forest Fire Sweeping Through the
California Grove.

Stockton, Cal, Sept News comes
by special to the Independent from
Murphy, which is connected by wire
with the Calaveras Big Trees hotel
that a forest fire has got into the
grove of mammoth trees at Upper End
near where the mother of the forest
stands, monster sequoia, S27 feet
high and rs feet in circumference.
The famous trees named after noted
men Of history are below the point of
attack and the only hope for the mag
nificent monsters of the forest Is a
change in the wind, as the fire fighters
are powerless to stop the flames. To
get into the grove of big trees the
fire had to cross the road leading to
Gardeners, which 1t did Tuesday night.
There is little underground in the
grove and that may be the means of
checking the fire but It's sweep
through the grove is greatly feared.
The valley in which the grove is sit
uated contains Of the Sequoias 90
monster trees.

fact that the plurality Tuesday was
only about 1900 less than in the cleo.
ton four years ago when Roosevelt
was elected, while the total vote was
reported to be per cent smaller.
This, he declared, would make the
Republican plurality approximately the
same as that four years ago. In view
of the reputation, which the Vermont
elections have as indicators Of the
probable outcome of the presidential
elections, he said tho result should be
highly pleasing to publicahs every

| White River Junction, VT, Sept. D.
The Republicans won the election II
Vermont Tuesday by carrying the
state for Lieut.. Gov. George H. Prouty
of Newport for governor by about %,
600 votes over James q. Burke oil
Burlington, his Democratic opponent.
The plurality was the smallest on a
presidential year since 1892, when 1t
was only 1886, and was followed by
Democratic national victory, but It
was larger than In 1888 and only
slightly less than In 1900. There was
a falling of in four years of about s
per cent in the Republican vote, while
the Democratic vote fell off about 2
per cent.
The Independence league appeared
for the first time and polled about
1000 votes. while the Prohibition and
Socialistic vote remained about the
same. An unusually large number of
local contests for members of the leg
islature, although bringing out a heavy
WV "hu AOouiIiu6 III O0mOCTdIlC gains
in the lower branch Of the legisla-
ture, apparently had no bearing on the
gubernatorial fight.
As Vermont is the first state to vote
during the presidential campaign,
there was much interest throughout
the country in the size of the Repub-
lican plurality.
At 1880 p. m. Lieut. Gov. Prouty
stated to the Associated press that he
figured his plurality at 29,S18 over
Burke, and believed that the missing
owns would bring his margin up to
10000. The governor-elect said:
I'm view of the fact that there were
10 great state issues to create enthusi-
SIN and arouse interest, the result Of
he election is very gratifying and
hows that the voters are taking
reat interest in the national cam
