FOREST FIRES LAST YEAR
HAVE BEEN WORST KNOWN
United States Has Lost Many Millions
of Dollars in Timber Conflagra.
tIons of Past Twelve
Months

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Govern-
ment officials here say that in the whole
northern half of the United States
from coast to coast, it is likely that the
year will go down as one of the worst
in the last quarter century.
This years actual losses from forest
fires in all parts of the country will be
up high in the millions.
The Officials say the fires have started
a widespread movement in many states
to check them by adopting rational sys-
TENS of fire protection.
The total cost of the forest fires OF
the carefully patrolled national forest
reserves for the season, exclusive OF
the salaries of forestry officers, will moi
be more than $4,000.

rule in trade reports. although changes are
Insignificant and 1t is only IN the aggregate
Interruption of holiday made a comparison
with the same week last year unusually ad-
verse, but Industrial reports indicate that
much machinery that has been idle for 30
many months resumed after Labor day. Pro-
duction of pig iron is now at higher rate
than at any previous time this year. and
many hands have returned to work at textile
mills, while shipping departments in all wear
ing apparel houses beginning to feel the
pressure demand for fall and winter trade.
Trade in domestic hides Is light.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO. Sept. 1.-THE wheat market
opened firm with prices shade lower to 40
| iac higher. and during the first hour fresh
gains of nearly lie were made in all deliveries
| as a result of active buying by the leaders.
The bullish enthusiasm seemed to be based on
the firm demand for flour in the northwest
and the brisk inquiry for cash wheat at all
/ the principal centers in this country. On
| the contrary the Liverpool market easy
and the movement in the northwest was
| again exceedingly liberal. Receipts at Minne
apolis and Duluth today were more than four
| times as large they were for the. CORE
| spending day last year. AS the session ad-
vanced offerings became more liberal and be-
fore the end Of the day than 5000, 000
It was claimed, had been sold by about a
dozen traders. These heavy sales caused a
slump In prices late In the session, from
which tho market failed to rally. New York
reported twelve boatloads had been taken for
export but locally the export business was at
standstill. Demand for cash wheat here
was tame at yesterdays prices Outside mar
kets for cash were firm early but weakened
later In the day. The market closed almost
at the bottom.
All deliveries Of corn sold at new high rec
ord marks for the season, September at one
time selling at S1%c December touched 70stc
and May 6shc. The fresh advance today was
due to an active general demand based on
the reported drouth in the belt. The
market closed easy with prices H@sso lower
to Nc higher.
ket At the sample tables cash oats were
firm to No higher. The market closed easy
at net declines Of Nose.
Trade in provisions was active and the

JACOB A. RIIS LECTURES
ON the Poor of the Cities and Praises
settlement Work.

settlement Work.
Jacob A. Riis delivered an interest
ing address in the First Presbyterian
Church on Wednesday evening, under
the auspices of the Mems Club of the
Church, his topic being "The Neigh
bor." He traced the changes in econ
omic and social life which have result
ed in the well-to-do living at the oppo-
site end of the town, from the poor
who are compelled by circumstances
to live near the shops in which they
are employed and the loss of interest
and feeling of brotherhood which has
resulted. He declared that the world
is steadily growing better, telling OF
tenement house conditions as they
were before the New York laws were
passed and the resulting improve
ments, the lessening of sweat shop
work through the Investigations Of, the
| Consumers League and the location
of play grounds in the cities.
The change in the feeling of the
churches on the NquestIon was illus
trated and the work of settlement
houses praised for introducing an up
| lifting element in the ciJies. His re-
marks were illustrated by many stories
of human life which had come under
his view and he urged still deeper
realization of the brotherhood of all
men-all neighbors as solution of
many of the vexing problems of the
day and safety for the future.
