TWENTY-SEVENDEAD
FOREST FIRES ARE STILL RAGING
 LIN NORTHWEST.
Citizens Working Like Heroes To Save the Towns From Roaring Flames
 Herd of Sheep
 Destroyed.

Alpena, IIich., Oct. 1T-With twenty seven known to have perished yester- l day in Presque Isle County and with a forest fire still raging uncontrolled throughout the counties of Cheboy- gan. Presque Isle Alpena and Altoona. as well as in other scattered districts throughout Northern Michigan, dilig- ent search was begun today to determ- inc the full extent of the holocaust.
 It may take many days to reveal tragedies that are likely to have oc- cured on isolated farms. The death list may not be fully known for a week. It is thought the property loss will run into the millions. Whole vil- lages have been wiped off the map and logging camps by the dozens have been destroyed with their entire sea- sons output.
 Near Turner, a flock of nearly one hundred sheep were burned alive.
 In the immedi-te vicinity of Millers- burg alone losses are estimated at a half million dollars.
 Other districts where bad forest fires are reported are in the neighborhood of Elmira, Gaylord and Johannesburg. in Otsogo County; Cadillac. in Wexford County: Crawling in Crawford County. where four million trees planted by the State Forestry Commission, were de- stroyed; Grawn, in aGrand Traverse
 
 Huron County.
 In the upper peninsular threatening forest fires are reported around Sault Ste Marie and Canaba, and ALoughton. At Koss. near Menominee. eighteen homes are reported destroyed with as many Lore thre: .ened.
 Navigation Suspended.
 Navigation has been practically sus- pended at the Soc owing to the dense smoke and the Presque Isle fog station on Lake Huron was abandoned yester- day by Patrick H. Garrity, who was obliged to flee for his life.
 Alpena, Long Rapids and Rogers City, were last night reported in grave danger. At Alpena last night the' common council at a special meeting authorized Mayor Mcknight to Issue what temporary relief he thought best for the sufferers. Provisions and clothing will be sent from Alpena to the scene of the Metz disaster and also to needy victims in Alpena county Alpena citizens will hold a mass meet ing Sunday noon to adopt further measures.
 First reports coming in today from the fire swept district in this section of the State did not materially increase the sum total of damage despite the fact that high winds swept over the burning section all night. The vil- lages of Poser and Laroque which last night were in grave danger. escaped and are today regarded out of dan ger. Rogers City is in most danger of any of the settlements in Presque Isle county. large force of men are working to save the town. Both Long Lake and Wilson township also es- capped with few losses, although both were in great danger last night.
 Reports are constantly coming in of the destruction of small logging camps, farms and buildings. and isolated groups of houses. Petoskey on the west side of the State, reports that the fire situation in that neighborhood is better than last night. Hastings Heights, a summer resort near Con way Is threatened today, as is Riggs vile

That Vast Wealth.

Birmingham Ledger.
 A story in The BiEmingham Ledger on Friday last told that the estimat- ed coal in the lands sold by the Monte- vallo school Is about 300.OoO.O0O tons. That ought to make that land worth that many dollars. Some coal is worth about $i.00 at the mouth of the mines. and some is worth $500 there. When the retailer sells us coal for about in the ground, knowing that 1t costs a little less than dollar to get it
 A few days since two men were talking on a car. and one said We have bought coal land here for SIC an acre, and I have paid $250 for the same class of lands In Pennsylvania."

 and 1t is rapidly being transferred to outside holders who know something of It's worth. By. no means has all her There is wealth yet In the hands of our own people and The Ledger hopes that they will get nearer a fair value than any of the land yet sold has
 The University owns an estate worth two or three million dollars. It too will probably be sold at some small price-that is, we'll towards farm land values. We have seen ine lands sold for less in fee simple than the trees would sell for at 25 cents each. That has been done not ten times. but hundreds of times, in this Statn, We have seen poplar lands with coal, sold as coal land. and the buyers sold enough poplar trees out of the gulches to pay for the land. That occurred in Walker county We have seen land sold for less than 1t would yield gross in one crop.
 There is not an acre of land in Jef- ferson county not worth 9100. The rockiest acre in the county would pro- duce more than 10 per cent interest on $100 in plums and berries or fruit, We Alabama people have only recent F.
