Of New Castle. Pa, in ten rounds here
last night
After the first few rounds Ross was
clearly outclassed, and the gong saved
him in the tenth. Schreck was by far
the cleverer and easily won the plaudits
Of the crowd.
IN the opening round honors were
about even. but after that Schreck had
things pretty nearly his own way. Ross

GREAT FOREST FIRE
THREE MILES WIDE.

Spokane, Wash.-Battling desper.
ately, but almost hopelessly, 300 far
mers and timbermen fought a great
forest fire three miles wide, which
swept through the splendid fir and
tsmarack timber north and west OF
Lake Couer dAlene. For forty hours
the fire defied all efforts TO check it,
and as the flames approached Rookie
ford Bay they split in two, one wall
of fire moving northeast the other
southeast, beyond control.
The fire last night was about
twenty-five miles southeast of Spo,
kane, and is burning a patch three
miles wide, and has already gone a
distance of more than six miles. For
every mile it moves it is estimated
100000 in fine timber is destroyed.
and the total loss up to noon was
estimated at $1,25O,OOO.
There are no white settlers on the
Idaho side, the flames there being
confined to the newly opened reserva.
ton for which the drawing was held
ten days ago. On the Washington
side of the boundary the fire has been
in timber owned by the Blackwell

All through the year 1908 the little god

he had every expectation of spending cozy

off 20 per. cent.
In Manhattan borough alone nearly 10000
persons are going about in single blessedness
or otherwise. as they take it-who ought
from the statisticians point of view to have
been married last year.
The statistician takes a cold-booded view
of it, merely marking it down an interest
ing fact to be footed up" with other interest
ing facts. He hasn't a word to say about
loves young dream and hope deferred and all
the furtive tears for which those 10000 non
existent marriages responsible You can't
make averages of such things as a young
mans disappointment and a nice girls heart
ache.
The results of hard times are always. first
of all, fewer diamonds imported and fewer
marriages recorded. Jewels and matrimony
go hand in hand as indications of a rising or
