| State Fire warden A. B. Bedell of
Menominee is completing his report

send in the document within the next
several days. Mr. B. dell states that
the report will be a great jar to the
calamity howlers of both Menominee

he states the report will show that
the 10 SEES by fire We're comparatively
small and that some farmers claim
that the CONGREGATIONS have helped
them in clearing land to the extent OF
hundreds of dollars. Big pine stumps
which would require strenuous labor
to remove, have been burned out so
thoroughly that holes appear in the
ground to a dc pth of many feet Only
small amount of good timber was
lost. and only few farmers suffered
material loss, further than having to
do some hard work to keep the flames
from spreading into their buildings
These facts will come as distinct
surprise as the people have been led
to believe from lurid reports that the
fires had devastated whole farming
districts in the county, and burned
out timber of great value This I'M
