Spokane. Aug. 30.-A line of fire
three miles in width is reported sweep

thousands of dollars damage and SER
iously impairing the value of claims
recently awarded by the government
to home seekers. The fire according
to advices from Coeur d'Alene and
Rockford has already done damage
estimated at six hundred thousand
dollars. There is apparently no means
to check 1t because of the wind. The
fire started yesterday in the o. R. &
n. camp. 1t is feared that parties
for that road may be
caught. Apprehension is also felt by
the road officials, particularly for the
safety of Everell Hartman, son of f.
H. Hartman, who with a school chum
is with a surveying gang. No word
Of the parties has been received ow-

COMPANIES ACCEDE To
DEMAND FOR LOWER CHARGES

company However when the season
opened it was announced that the
so cent charge would pay for the
housing of grain only for one month
after which a charge of 10 cents per
ton a month would have to be paid
in addition.
At once 4 cry Of protest went up
from among the farmers who alleged
trickory on the part of the companies.
Then the farmers began stacking
their wheat in their fields and de-
clared they would hold it there until
sold in preference to storing it in
tae warehouses. The plan of stack
ing in the fields was very generally
followed all over the country.
Apparently the action Of the farm-
eys has had the desired effect for the

The news of the reduction granted
by the grain companies has been
h'ehy pleasing to the farmers but as

want is a committee of five citizens

is facts.
I'VE have decided not to take any
further active steps in the Third

That they will store wheat in their

per ton until the first of the year
with a charge of 10 cents additional
per ton a month after January 1 is
now announced by the representatives
of the various grain companies doing
business in this county.
This announcement means that the
farmers of Umatilla county ana Of the

the same time the outcome of the
controversy is tribute to the influ-
ence welded by the farmers when
they present a united front and are
backed up by public sentiment.

Vienna, Aug. 20.-Edward H. Har-
riman, master mind of the railway
world must either cease participation
H. business affairs or suffer complete
physical collapse. This is the opinion
of Professor Streumpel, Viennese
specialist who diagnosed Harrman's
ailments. for whose advice Hartman
specially tripped Viennaward. Streum-
pei spent many hours with Hartman.
studied his case with as much thor
oughness as though he were a member
OF the ropal family whose physician
Streumpel is. In the first place, says
Streumpel. Hartman is suffering from
a systematic lack of proper nourish-
ment, which caused a general weak
ness. Secondly, he is suffering from
nervous debility, and exhaustion due
from overwork. He added however,
that Hartman is not suffering from
specific organic trouble, and pre-
dicted that If he watched himself care
fully and refrained from unusual work
mentally, physically he would enjoy
fair health.
The thing which surprised Streum-
pie most was Harriman's half starv-
e6 condition and he declared the need
OF better feeding for the noted fl
nancier was imperative. He outlined
three courses of treatment which he
cautioned Hartman to follow closely.
First, Hartman must lie quietly in
bed many hours each day, eating only
nourishing food in sufficient quanti-
ties. Nothing else he said would
build up the wasted tissues. Then
Hartman must take course in sun
baths. Streumple advised the finan-
cier to lie naked in the sunshine. BY
this means he hoped to strengthen
nerves. When there is no
sunshine he advised that champaign
baths" be substituted. This bath is
really water charged with carbonic
acid gas.
