Fleeing From Flames.

Winnipeg, Man, Aug. 3.-As q. result
OF bush fires, the town Of Fernie. B
c., is wiped out as a child cleans a
slate; Michel, IA miles distant. is in
names, and the fate of Hosmer, Olson
and SparwoOd, intervening towns, is
in doubt, they being cut off from all
communication.
Over 100 lives are known to have
been lost, "A of them at Fernie.
A territory of 100 square miles in
extent is a seething mass of flames.
Through it are scattered hundreds of
lumber men and prOspectOrs, so that
the actual loss of life will not be
known for days. The property Of the
Canadian Pacific and Great Northern
railways is destroyed and bridges and
rolling stock burned so that it is i'm
possible to enter or leave the burning
area.
The inhabitants of the towns have
fled to open districts in the vicinity in
hope Of safety. The railways have
placed all available trains at their dis
posal, and unless there is a change Of
wind the whole of the Crows Nest pass
country will be left in flames.

"Hymn Of Praise"

The Handel Oratoria society of Aug

lege auditorium gave excellent rendi-
tions of Gounod's "Gallia," lament
alton, and Mendelssohn's Hymn of
Praise" The chorus of abouh 70
voices under the direction of PROBES
sor Emil Larson, was assisted by Miss
Grace Ames, soprano, Mrs. Edla Lund,
n-ezZo soprano and Edward Walker,
tenor, and the college orchestra of 20
pieces. The work of the chorus was
excellent, the parts were well balanc-
ed and the reading and Interpretation
were good. Miss Ames was in splen-
did voice and added to her laurels in
the beautiful solo Jerusalem, Jerus-
alem.' Mr.. Walker was heard here
for the first time and his solo work
was quite pleasing. His voice while
not very strong has a sweet quality
and his readings were very true. Mrs.
Lund as usual sang in good voice.
Miss Lille Ceryin was at the organ
and Sigfrid Laurin was at the piano
and ably assisted the chorus.

a err at Banquet.

County Judge r. w. Olmsted has
returned from Springfield where he at
tended the annual meeting of the Illi-
nois association of county and probate
judges. Judge Olmsted is secretary of
the association, and was one of the
speakers at the banquet which con-
cluded the session, and at which Gov
ernor Deneen, Speaker Shurtleff, JUS
tice Carter of the Supreme court, ex-
Governor Yates, Attorney General
Stead, and Lieutenant Governor Sher-
man responded to toasts.
The association decided to meet
hereafter at the same place and in
connection with the state bar associa-
ton and the association of states at
torneys. The organization will not
lose its identity, and will remain sep
arate from the other associations, but
certain features such as the annual
banquet, could be enjoyed jointly, and
greater benefit will be derived, it is
believed a
Want More Jurisdiction.
There were many interesting papers
read, and some of the discussions re-
suited in the appointment of commit
tees to endeavor to secure legislation
along the lines favored by the associa-
ton. Among other things changes
were advocated in the administration
act of the statutes relative to probate
practice. Efforts will be continued to
secure the passage of the testament
airy trust law, and the bill increasing
the common law jurisdiction after a
spirited debate. The last mentioned
action was urged particularly by the
counties in the southern part of the
state, which have to depend entirely
on non-residents judges of the circuit
court. This situation gives rise to
much complaint against the conditions
surrounding the practice of law in
these counties, and these places fav-
ored the enlargement of the county
court jurisdiction to make it coeXten-
sive with that of the circuit court.
This was held by the association to be
too radical and revolutionary in its
nature, and it was the opinion that
such legislation could not be attained,
The association considered the increas-
of the limit to $4,000 to offer a con-
siderable remedy, and one more likely
to meet win favor in the Legislature

AT the meeting last year committees
