Sioux Falls Press: Fooled in his

Isl Plunkard' is one of the bits of
city and country melodrama that do

as in Sioux Falls, for instance, the
seventh time last evening.
The play is q rural comedy drama
with j. O.. Lewis in the title role.
-Four acts, with the specialties, band
and orchestra, furnish clean and
wholesome entertainment.
Specialties, such as the popular
home quartette, go far to make the
show q success. Baby Arletta Lewis,

even at her tender age.

The Timber Loos is Large.

Washington, Sept, 1.-THE forest
fires which have just laid waste whole
counties in Minnesota. Michigan, and
extended into Wisconsin, destroying
many towns and making many people
homeless, have focused the attention
of both government and state forest
oflicersIon the:enormous losses OF forest
wealth which will be checked up to the
year 1908.
In the whole northern half OF the
United States throughout the vast
territory extending from coast to coast
the reported destruction by forest fires
has been terrific and it is likely that
the year will go down as one of the
worst in the last quarter century. 1t
seems that no part of the country has
escaped the work of the devastating
flames. The latest DISASTERS in Min
nesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin are
the worst that have visited the Lake
States this year. Other sections have
also suffered from forest fires during
the spring and summer months, and the
reople of the Pacific Coast, the Rocky
Mountain and the New England States
and Canada have had thorough, and
in some cases continuous experience
in fire fighting.
Officers in the United States Forest
Service here say that it is doubtful if
this years actual losses from forest
fires in all parts of the country will
ever be known but it is certain that
they will run up SO high in the millions
that the country will be startled when
a complication of statistics at the end
of the season makes it possible TO give
even the most conservative figures.
Suffice it to say, were all the timber
burned up this year in all parts Of the
country converted into cash, it could
provide for good sized navy of first
class battleships.
The government has had lot of
work in the fire fighting line on the
National Forests, but serious as the
fires have been careful patrol and the
organization of force to battle with
the flames as soon as discovered has
held the losses down to point where
they are insignificant when considered
the fearful destruction which would
have come about had there been no
protection.
Although the fire menace has been
serious in all sections, officers of the
Forest Service estimate the total cost
of the forest fires on the National
Forests for the season, exclusive Of the
salaries of forest officers, will not be
more than $4,000. The sum is small
when it is remembered that it means
fire protection for approximately 1885,
100000 acres of National Forests, less
than two tenths of a mill per acre.
Progressive state fire wardens and
forest officers, individuals and private
corporations having large timber hold
ings, have organized fire fighting forces
along much the same line as the gov
eminent in many cases, and in this
way they have given protection to mill
lions Of acres of timber which might
have been destroyed had it been left
unprotected.

An almost fatal accident occurred
this week at the homo OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Milford at No. 5O4 Van
Buren, street, when their infant
daughter was tipped from It's crib,

turing It's skull. For time II was
beloved that the little one could not
survive, Improvement was taIrly UNI
Ill yesterday, when It became more
marked.
The accident was a peculiar one,
and resulted in tho most unexpected
manner, The father of the baby was
reading and at the same time rolling
its bed back and forth. Suddenly
the bed was tilted and the little one
fell with great force to the floor In

The attendant physicians state
that there is now great probability
that the child will recover and show
no permanent signs OF It's mishaps,
this however, in the absence Of COM
pllcations.

WOMAN SUES ROCK

Fare is Paid.

An interesting case IS claiming at
tention of Special Judge Merrill in
the district court today under title
OF Mrs. Adolia Williamson VS., the
Chicago, Rock Island & Gulf rail-
way ct al
The plaintiff who sues for dam
ages, alleges that she has been in
jured through the improper conduct
of the agents and employees of the
defendant company, in that after
she had paid fare for her son,
Frank Williamson, a lad of tender
years, he was by force elected from
a train OF the company at Minco,
Okla, and that she was not permit
ted by the said agents and servants
to quit the train with her son,
Mrs. Williamson further alleges
that despite the fact that she told ;rhS
auditor and conductor repeatedly
that she had paid the fare, they dis
puted her word and she was humili-
ated in the presence of her fellow
passengers
The case will likely not go TO the
fury until tomorrow. Quite a bit Of

Mr.. John Sebastian, Passenger
Traffic Manager, Chicago, Ill.
Dear Sir:--Referring to enclosed
clipping from the London Chroni-
Gle this morning For the last four
or five years Canada, Australia and
the other English colonies have been
enjoying the advantage of and get
ting lot OF advertising along agri-
cultural lines through exhibits in
Great Britain and on the continent,
| would respectfully suggest that a
very strong effort be made to en-
able our southwest territory to make
a display Of its varied resources.
Something worthy OF the country
which will show the great agricultur-
al, mineral and commercial interests,
will attract the attention OF the
thinking people, create thirst for
further information and give us an
opportunity to accomplish practical
results,
This is great opportunity for
our entire southwest territory If
arrangements can be made for har-
monious cooperation by our several
states for the good Of the whole.
Through a very comprehensive dis
play as an object lesson, we can pre-
sent a great diversity Of profitable
propositions to attract the investor
and homeseeker. The railroads have
done great deal in this direction,
hut the time is most propitious for
the states to take steps to let the
people know what they have.
Il have no doubt of your ability
TO make the several states and terri
tories interested look at the matter
in this light. sab
