Duncan, who gained her inspiration
from the ancient Greek dancers,
thereby attaining to great fame in
Europe, will begin a New York sea-

the great love that exists between
rival dancers, Miss Duncan has this
to say of Maude Allen, the famous
London Salome dancer:
-Four years ago Miss Allen came
to me in Berlin and said she was a
poor American girl studying dancing,
and 1t would help her so much to
see me. So | gave her tickets for

BRITISH COLUMBIA FIRES
Timber Losses VIII Reach a Large
Sum,

ANScCNS
Sum.
VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 2O.-A
heavy pail, caused by the many large
forest fires raging in the timber dis
tricts, hangs over this city today, and
the air is heavy and oppressive. The
fires are the worst ever experienced
in this section of the country for
the past 10 years and though large
forces of men have been in the field
making constant battle against
them, they have been unable even
to put them under control, and every
hour that goes by witness their
further spreading. The worst fires
are in the Squamish valley, Brown
Island. Point Gray and Capilan val
ley, and hundreds of thousands of
dollars of timber land has been
destroyed and much more will be
consumed before the fires can be
checked. Some of the fires are APP
preaching dangerously near the city,
and approximations are expressed for
1t. The city, however. realizes its
dangerous position and II is belived
that should the FIRE spread toward it
and threaten 1t. that a large enough
force Of men can be put in the field
to check It.

BOOKER T. ON LYNCHNG
Negro Educator Deplorcs Conditions
Tolerating Il.

ToleFating IL.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.--The World
prints today a signed statement from
Booker T. Washington, made at
Baltimore yesterday, in which the
negro educator comments at length
upon the recent lynchings. In his
statement Mr.. Washington says:
Within the past so days rs negroes
have been lynched in different parts
of the United States. OF this number
only four of the % were even
charged with criminal assault upon
women. How long can our civili-
cation stand this? l am making no
special plea for the negro, innocent
or guilty, but am claiming attention
for the danger that threatens our
civilization.
For the negro criminal and es-
pecially for the negro loafer, gam
bier and drunkard have nothing but
severe COMBINATIONS and no punish
ment is too severe for the brute that
assaults a woman.
Mob justice undermines the very
foundations upon which our civiliza-
ton rests, namely, respect for law
and confidence in its security. There
are, in my opinion, two remedies:
First of all, let us unite in the de-
termined effort everywhere to see
that the law is enforced, that the
people at all times and all places
see that the man charged with crime
is given fair trial. Secondly, let
all good citizens unite in an effort to
rid the communities, especially Of
the large cities, of the idle, vicious
and gambling element.
AN in this connection / would not
be just and would not be frank UNI
less / stated that the better element
of the black race could use their
Influence, especially in the cities, to
see that the idle element lives by its
wits without permanent or reliable
occupation or place of abode il either
reformed or gotten rid of In some
manner. In most cases 1t is this
element that furnishes the powder
for these explosions"

Perhaps the thing which will be the most farreaching in results, however with which he has come in touch, is d German invention or rather discov cry. the steriIizing of municipal water by the means of electrified air, or ozone. through a process which kills the germs of all infectious diseases and epidemics. It is called the Sic mems and Halske system. The Ger man army officers have taken an in tereSt in this plan. for obtaining pure water supply for their troops. IL is a well known fact that disease kills more men than bullets. and most of the army sickness is caused by an impure water supply. One of the things which must be met in making such an apparatus for army use will be to get the weight down to the re- quircd minimum so that it can be readily transported over most any kinds Of roads The value of the sue cessful use of such a plant to supply pure water to armies during times of war. would be incalculable, saving thousands of lives.
 The plants consist of. besides mo- tors. transformer and ozone appa- ratus, sterilizing towers, in which the water tricklinS slowly over pebbles is brought in intimate contact with a current of oZonized air passing in the opposite direction. There is also sand filters in which the water is filtered before entering the sterilizing towers. an air dryer and an ozone blower. Ozone is produced by exposing air to the action of a static high tension discharge The ozone is forced against the finely divided water by which treatment it is claimed great quanti- ties of bacteria are destroyed. MT Schwarzschild explained that ozone is an ailotropic form of oxygen produced by the condensation Of three volumes of oxygen into two of ozone. hence

SCHOOLS BEGIN
NEW TERM WORK
Teachers and Scholars Bring
Enthusiasm With Them

After vacation of over two weeks
the public schools of Grand Rapids
resumed operation Monday. As usual
the first day did not show a COM
plete enrolment as number have
been away for the holidays and are
somewhat late in returning. How
ever those who have returned, and
were present at the opening of school
Monday morning, are fresh and
active and the new school term will be
characterized by the vim and energy,
gathered during the rest period.
The teachers as well as the students
are much better fitted to begin the
exacting work of the present term.
The Wood County Training school
also resumed Monday. Most of the
students were on hand and ready
to begin the work. A few were
absent. but these arrived later and
now all are hard at work again.
During the vacation period the
Training school has been undergoing
some improvements, and the students
on their arrival Monday were en-
thusiastic in their praise of the trans
formation. New furniture and rugs
were in place, and the floors, which
have been highly polished during the
interim, reflected many pleased and
happy faces,

and the young people, bronzed and
healShy looking, give full corrobora-

through the foot hills, hours of lying
in wait for game, and camping out
on the half broken trails.
Mr.. Coverings ranch is eighty
miles from Lander, the terminus of
The Northwestern Line, in the midst
of the finest Big Game country in
America. 1t is at an elevation Of
1000 feet. The ranch covers thou
sands of acres. The houses are of
logs, with big open fire places and
large rooms, and possess particularly
strong interest by reason of the fact
that Owen Wister is said TO have
written the first part of his famous
novel, The Virginian, here.

Henry Meuret, of this city was ar
rested eight miles west of Nekoosa
Friday evening by Undersheriff J. L..
Sell and brought back to Wausau Mon
day morning to answer to a statutory
charge preferred by Miss Edith Bandy
of the town of f'lieth. The warrant
for his arrest was issued January Is,
1907, and since that time the sheriff
has been searching for him. At one
time he was located in Grand Rapids,
Mimi, but could not be eXtradited be-
cause of the nature of the offense,
consequently it was necessary to wait
until he returned to this state. 1t
was learned he had returned few
days ago and Undersheriff Sell imme-
diately started in pursuit. He was
located on a farm about eight miles
west of Nekoosa running an engine
for corn shredder. He will probably
be given hearing this afternoon.

THE TORRENS
SYSTEM GOOD
Many Minnesota People Pleased
With Insurance of Titles.

The T0rrens system of land trans
ferring has been discussed in open
debate in this city, and has several
times been before the state legis-
lature. The people therefore will be
interested in the following account of
the practical operation of the sys-
tenn in Minnesota, as given by the
Minneapolis Tribune of recent date:
The business of the county, in the
state title insurance, or as it is
generally known. the Torrens system,
has increased considerably during the
past year. After several seasons of
small business iU has come to be a
paying affair, netting something
above the cost of running the office,
aside from providing the required
sinking fund for the insurance of the
titles.
During the past year the Torrens
clerk has performed work on papers
netting the office 81, ,734 in fees. The
outlook at the present time is that
the year 1908 will find the work in
creaSing materially. 1t has taken
people years to become informed of
the value of this system. and the
work is only really beginning. 1t is
a system of listing property with the
state, SO that a new record is made,
the holder is declared to be the actual
owner against all other claimants,
and the state assumes the risk of in
Suring the title. The fee is COM
paratively small and after a piece of
property is once recorded in the title
book it is as easy to borrow on or sell
as piece of merchandise.
Il look for great increase in this
class of entries this year, said
Register Skog. ''It is the cheapest
and surest title insurance for the poor
man, and it does away with all future
intricacies and red tape. 1t has sur
prised me that the people have been
SO long getting acquainted with its
provisions"
