Forest Fires

Washington, Sept. 23.-"The drouth that Is pre-
,aiIine throughout the country, with such serious
~ae,,,+s will be broken about the beginning of next
week" predicted Mr.. CARROT forecaster OF the

turbance which will set in on the Pacific Coast

country and bring fairly copious rains. the forest
fires are due to the fact that there have not been
anv well defined storms in those regions Forest
fires have had no effect in preventing rains in the
past nor will they have in the future. The forests
have to very small degree an influence on the
rainfall, not enough to be appreciable.
The forest fires in various parts of the country
are being watched carefully by the government.
The forestry service has already made arrange
ments for a complete report from an agent sent
to investigate personally the situation in the

VIRGINIA on the Mesaba had an
annual school meeting Saturday
night. Virginia has been sore ever
since. Virginia has not gotten
over the old style of holding meet
ingS where a half dozen loud voiced
friends of the pre-arranged program
vote down a couple of dozen weak
er-lunged adversaries. A propo-
sition was voted OH to made the
district an independent one but
the present board and their admir-
ers voted that down. The law in
this matter says that the vote on
the changing of a district shall be
by ballot and that it shall be for or
against and also that petition of
electors must be had to bring the
question before the people. Then
the clerk protested that the meet
ing was voting him too much sal
airy but de gang carried it over
his objection and he will be COM
PEELED" to accept S75 per month
for doing, as he said, about SIS
worth OF work. The assemblage
also voted to allow the treasurer 2
per cent Oh expenditures which
amounts to over $4,000 for the
treasurer who has less work than
the clerk. When the proposition
was preached to publish the pro.
ceedings of the board for the in.
formation of those who paw the
taxes, the clerk said the teachers
objected to having the minutes
made public. Wouldn't that ia1

"Suppose?" the Prince was white
