SUN DIMMED OVER LAKE REGION
Large Area in Haze of Smoke From
Forest Fires of the North.

chicago, Sept. l5.-A territory pe-
lieved to be 5000, miles in extent, or
seven times the area Of the state of
Ohio, is overhung with the most re-
n1arkable pail Of smoke experienced in
the history of this part of the coun-
try. Old residents of Chicago have
seen nothing like it since the big fire
of 1871 which laid waste $200,000,0 900
worth of property in this city, and
they confess that the smoke of those
days covered only a limited territory
compared with that affected by the
destructive forest fires in Minnesota,
Michigan and Wisconsin in the last few
days.
In Chicago the pail reached it's great
est density yesterday after thickening
perceptibly for nearly week. Similar
reports come from Milwaukee, Detroit,
Cleveland and other cities located from
500 to 500 miles from the center of the
ravishing flames. Lake navigation has
been made dangerous and the same
caution is exercised by naNigators as in
times of heavy fog.
