WOMEN BATTLE WITH FLAMES
Their Heroic Work Assists in Savinu
Elk Citv.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 24.-That Elk
City is still on the map and out of
reach of the forest fires ravaging the
surrounding country, which is ablaze
for miles, is due solely to the heroism
of the women of the town who, while
the male population was fighting the
advance of the con%flagration, guarded
their homes and the business houses,
extinguishing a number of incipient
blazes started by brands carried from
the burning forests. Many of them
stayed on roofs of the buildings all
night and, but for their bravery, the
town doubtless would have been a
mass of ~smouldering embers.
The entire Iron mountain is again
ablaze and the fire on Squaw creek is
burning with renewed fury.
The American River district is a gi-
gantic furnace for miles. A number
Of outlying settlements, from which
Che inhabitants have fled, are certain
of destruction and it is reported that
the plant of the American Eagle mine,
one of the largest in the district, is
burning.
Scores of square miles of territory
are involved and hundreds Of men are
wanted to assist in getting the con-
flagration under control. Conditions
are epitomized in a brief message
from Forest Ranger Porter to Assist
ant Ranger Brown at G%rangeville. 1t
says:

since lie tx hold Of the administra-
ton. He has simply done what we all
expected he would do"
Colonel Roosevelt was in his hap
piest mood as he edged his way
through the crewd at the station and
smilingly remarked to one of his bust
ness associates that it seemed like
old campaign days. Mrs. Roosevelt,
Congressman and Mrs. Longworth and
Quentin Roosevelt came to the station
to bid the colonel farewell.
The colonel was d%isinclined at first
to discuss politics. When told that it
had been reported that he was expect
ell to make a detailed statement re.
garding Mr.. Taft's letter to Mr.. Girls

We'll, o are happy. aren't you,

but the colonel only beamed in reply.
The colonel and his family were es-
corted by the railroad officers to the
private car Republic and there the
former president was soon Joined by
County Chairman Griscom and Col
lector of the Port Loeb. Later the
colonel emerged from the rear of his
private car and made the statement
that he would go to the state conven-

compromise. as the issues were clear

The declaration of Colonel Roose.
welt was quickly taken to mean by
politicians that he proposes to go to
the convention at Saratoga and make
his fight against the 'old guard for
the platform and candidates that he
thinks most desirable. The colonel
made it clear that he meant every
word he said, for he punctuated the
closing of each sentence with a clap
of his hands. But beyond the state.
ment he said he had nothing to say

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 24.-With the
known dead placed at sixty, at least
200 seriously injured and as many
mor missing progress in the fight
against the forest fires raging through
out Eastern Washington, Idaho and
Western Montana is reported by the
forest rangers and United States
troops.
A summary of the situation given
out by one of the government forest.
ers showed that st. Regis. which was
reported in flames, still has a slight
chance Of being saved; that Mullan,
Saltese and Henderson,. all of which
were in imminent danger, are now
considered out of immediate danger.
Besides Wallace and Taft the towns
of Bryson, De Borgia and Haughan
have been wiped out.
While the situation is far from re-
lieved the progress made at st. Regis,
Mullan and Saltese, which were said
to be doomed, has encouraged the fire
fighters and they now hold out hopes
of being able to hold the flames in
check until a rain comes that will be
sufficiently heavy to extinguish the
fires. The wind is dying down at all
points, according to reports.
Conditions are still more or less
chaotic throughout the fire zone and
it is still impossible to get accurate
details OF loss of life or property dam
age. 1t is known that a fire along
Cedar Creek. Ida, near Saltese, de-
stroyed the plants of the Kansas City
Commercial company and the Amador
company, narrowly missing an i'm
mense dredge of the former nce
Six men are believed to have persisted
in this fire.

They started in and did uncover a lot of petty graft ing which by wide publicity in the press was made to appear to the ay- craze taxpayer little short of Boss Tweed's plundering of New York.

ASKING FOR LIBERTY.

When President Taft favored the eieht-hour law for all government em- pl0yes in his message, he asked that an exception should be made in emer- gancies the men to have extra pay, for he saw. as every enlightened Am erIcun must. that in time of war, and in other exigencies. an ironclad con- tract of this kind would prove to be an impediment Speaking of the eff feet of the eight-hour law in battle ship construction, the Boston Tran script says.
 "The private builders now actually constructing battleships are working their men ten hours a day. the con tracts having been placed previous to the enactment of the Fitzgerald act Hereafter under the provisions of that aet the eight-hour law applies to bat tleships as well as to public works Suo-contractors being equally bound by it. shipbullders say that they must have higher prices as insurance against trouble for violations of the law by firms W ho furnish fittings and equipments Tf. for instance, a firm of engine makers to whom a sub-con- tract had been let by the builders of a battleship should violate the eight hour law. the builders are advised that they. too, would be answerable The belief in this legal responsibility has certainly actuated several weu-known establishments refusing to bid on the proposals for two new battleShips. Congress often Iegislating carelessly, the Fitzgerald act makes no reference 70 'destr0yers.' and the ten-hOur day being possible in their construction, bids are plentiful for this class. where as only one has come in for the cap itaF ship. or superdre3dnOusht Even the firm that proposes to build this vessel asks S1,000,o0O more than for a battleship of the same class it con structcd when it was free to make it's own labor arrangements with it's own men,"
 fact never to be forgotten is that an increase of cost in manufactured articles of any kind by shorter days or advance of wages lessens the buy ing power of the dollar Things are high because conditions tend to make them high.

Adorable Little Alpine Caps.

Within two weeks every woman, girl and child in Holyoke will be wearing one of the adorable little Alpine caps that don't have to be fastened down with hatpins Q foot or two long and that make a young face charming and an older face more youthful. One HoIyoke lady who ventured forth with one on a couple of weeks ago, was never so complimented in her life on any hat, as on the soft, white cider down wool cap that was as comfort able as possible. Men who don't usu- ally notice such things were quickest to speak of the cap. The caps are called aviation caps, because they won't come off, even in an aeroplane
