A WEEK OF
FIRE FIGHTING
Forest Fires In all Directions Cause
Much Anxiety and Hard Work.
But Little Damage Done.

serious fire broke out near Roes-
ler's planning mill Sunday afternoon.
The fire whistle sounded and large
number of men were sent out there
with buckets and teams and the
street sprinkler and commenced to
stay the march of the flames. The
woods were on fire for "a long dis
tance to the west and emitted in
tense heat, while the smoke was al
most sitting. The re was at first
on the west side of the road, and
close to the road on numerous tracks
were several hundred dump cars and
material belonging To Contractor
Balch, who built the road from
Ladysmith to Superior. At one
point the fire reached a lumber pile
close to the track OF the Wisconsin
Central, on which stood a long con-
struction train. Word was sent in
for an engine and the cars were haul
ed out, two of them on fire. BY
making a flying trip to the water
tank in the city the fire was put out.
AS it was evident that unless extra
ordinary efforts were used to stay
the flames all the construction ma
terial would go, two locomotives
were brought in requisition and sup
piled water to the men with buckets.
The result was the flames were sub
dued with but small loss, pile of
lumber and number of dump cars.
At the same time the fire broke
out at Roesler's mill a very heavy
fire started in the woods along the
river In the direction of Port Arthur.
The fire department went down near
the Alden Novelty Works, and hav-
ing a hydrant there connected with
the city water works, the buildings
and grounds around were thorough
ly sprinkled with water, reducing
bers and sparks. Although it pre-
sente1 a very threatening appear
ance for a time,, no damage was
done.
Monday, 1t was thought best by
the mayor and members of the coun-
Gil to back fire west Of the Central
tracks, north from the High school
building, in order to save the city
from fire breaking out in that direc-
ton, should there be stiff gale. A
number of the tiremen turned out
and worked all day. 1t is now
thought that Ladysmith is reason
ably safe.

LENROOT STOLE
ALL HIS THUNDER
HSiiver Joe" Konkel Calls Lenroot a
Good Democrat.-He Converted
Eleventh, Dist. Thro Lenroot

"Silver Joe' konkel, democratic
candidate for Congressman from
this district, spoke to an audience OF
seventy-fve voters at the court
house last Friday evening. Mr..
KOnkel is editor of the Superior
Clarion Leader, and although prob
ably strong editorial writer, is
hardly a match for his opponent,
|. l.. Lenroot, as public speaker.
He said that Mr.. Lenroot had been
reading his paper for the past twelve
years and had absorbed most of his
theories. He agreed with Mr.. Jen-
kins that the Eleventh congressional
district went democratic when Len
root received the nomination. In
fact he claimed to have converted
LenroOt and Lenroot had converted
the people OF the district. He quot
speech as proof that he was not a
republican. LaFOllette and McGOv-
ern are also good democrats, accord
ing to his theory whether he claims
to have converted them also he did
not state. Mr.. Konkel had only
good words to speak of the republi-
can candidate for congressman, but
said that he was endeavoring to be
elected under false pretenses. and If
the voters OF the district wanted to
elect a democrat they should vote
for one who is running on the demo
cratic ticket.
w. S. Manning presided over the
meeting and several prominent men,
bers of the party from over the
county were in attendance.

Affiant further says that he told Mr..
Anderson that the impression has gone
out in both city and county that he,
Mr.. Anderson, was in league and
truckled to ''the gang, that the gang
was the enemy of the moral forces,
and that because he had failed to cor
rectly estimate the power and influence
of this force there was but one of two
courses of action left for him to take,
namely:
1st. Either to withdraw from this
political race or court a humiliating de-
feat; or,
End. To withdraw from the gang
and tell the leaders of that element
that he did not desire their aid and an
nounce publicly that he did not want
their support in this campaign.
AS to the first Mr.. Anderson re-
piled, "I will not withdraw; will stay
in the race if spend the last cent of
money | have" AS to the second Mr..
Anderson replied, Il will not do it, for
[ must rely on that element, because
the other people have gone to the sup
port of Mr.. Carow, my opponent"

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

School started Sept. 7, with a large
attendance. 1t is difficult for the
scholars to settle down to hard study
after the good times they have enjoyed
during vacation.
1t makes most Of the high school
scholars feel good to see Miss McFaden
in her old place again helping them
fight their battles.
A certain "bunch" who have taken
back seats had best behave or they
won't keep those seats of honor long,
for Miss McFaden knows them of old.
We are glad to see Grace McGee
back with us again this year.
The Sophomores and Seniors have
held class meetings already, but we
have neither heard nor seen anything of
the Junior Or Freshmen class meet
ings. Of course we all know that the
Freshmen are "fresh" in the business
and need advice from their Seniors con-
cerning their class meetings, but the
Juniors have had two years of expert
ence and ought not to need any advice.
The Freshmen of this year seem very
studious and conduct themselves quite
differently from the Freshmen of last
year. Perhaps they know that such
conduct as theirs is more apt to win
favor with the superior classes and the
teachers also. But then they, need
not seek the favor Of the teachers for
they have that in the beginning.
Parents should watch for the month
ly report and see how their children
are getting on in High school.
All parents are invited to visit the
school. The sight of parent seems
to stimulate the scholar to do his best
The High school scholars have form
ed an organization for the purpose of
giving a program on Friday after
noon every other week. Beth Newman
has been elected as presiding officer
and Erma Miller, Lillian Lee, Edith
Clark and Irene Cole for the committee.
The boys, we notice, are somewhat
interested in basket hall. We hope
this year they will have more success
than they did last year. But we also
hope they will pay more attention to
their studies than to basket ball.
