 Koreans Dream of Freedom.
 "The patriotic uprising in Korea says Dr. Kimm in a statement issued from his office here, lis kept up large. ly by the conviction that in the near future Japan will find herself with a more powerful enemy on her hands, when Korea can regain her 4243-year. old independence and throw of the yoke of annexation.

DEATH T0LL |S FIGURED AT 204 oF THESE 16o PERSONS ARE KNOWN TO HAVE
 PERlSHED.
SEARCHING FOR BODIES
Reports Continue to Come of New Victims Being Found in Ashes New Fires in Western
 Washington.

San Francisco, Aug. 27.-Owing to conficting reports from Missoula and Spokane, the total number of dead in the northwestern forest fires Is in doubt, but the latest information tends to substantiate an estimate of I6O killed and A missing as the total for Idaho. Washington and Montana
 This count includes 100 United States forest employees in Idaho and Montana. 50 settlers and fire fighters in the St. Joe valley, Idaho, with the remaining ten known to be dead dis tributed among the three states.
 Reports received by Supervisor Weigle at Wallace concerning the number of dead forest employees did not agree with that obtained at Mis- soula. The reports to Wallace say that of Ranger Hollingshead's 60 men on Big creek, IA bodies have been found and the other men are missing.
 Of GO men on Setser creek, 4S bodies have been found and five men are missing These 62 deaths of for SSN yVb dadCu u lIS Ll u6dlIS at Bullion mine and on the big fork of the Occur d'Alene, and the deaths in Montana and various Idaho creeks would bring the total number of deaths in service up to 100.
 Reports of Death of 115.
 There is a dearth of news from the St. Joe valley, where the fires are rag ing uncontrolled. Circumstantial ac- counts of the death of 115 men in four parties were brought to Spokane and Tacoma by survivors.
 The survivors say that GOO men were working on the Big creek, whereas the number stated by the forestry service to have been em- ployed there Is CO.,
 Joseph B. Hahn is said by the Wal and by the Missoula office to have only IA. Deputy Ranger Fishers re- lief party, attempting to reach Hahn by way of Avery, was forced to turn back and Fisher will reconnoiter from Saltese, Mont.
 uS SiSd HuiuDtf OI IlSn III SDO- kane who have arrived from the St Joe valley. where they fought the flames last Saturday and Sunday leads to the belief that the records of the forest service do not include nearly all the fire fighters.
 New Fires Break Out.
 Within the last IS hours fires of serious proportions have broken out in all sections of western Washington. Famed by strong northwest winl. the fires have spread with alarming rapidity and the state forest rangers and the patrols of the lumber associa- tions are pressing all available men to aid in combating the flames

PRESERVES FOODS" INDEFIN-
ITEIY

William II. SWEET of Portland, Ore,
claims to have rediscovered the lost
Egyptian art of preserving vegetable
and animal matter indefinitely
He has taken roses and let them
wither since last summer. Then the
petals, moistened, resumed their
original freshness and color, and the
withered buds burst into blossom
Corn on the cob, a year old, which
had dried into third it's former
size, was restored merely by being
placed in water over night. so that
it not only looked but tasted fresh.
other vegetables were similarly de-
monstrated
SWEET says that in so far as COM
parison is possible, he has succeeded
in securing suspended disintegration
in the products he prepares. He
operates a queer looking apparatus.
A fire burns in both ends of an OBJ
long case. Horizontal screen slides
bear the preserving product. Air
constantly circulates within.
Il have been experimenting for
fifteen years seeking for the element
which, successfully applied, kept dis
integration from affecting food pro-
ducts" he said. Several years ago,
by chance, l happened upon the eff
fects. So sometimes the things l
turned out would keep indefinitely,
sometimes they soured. l did not
know the cause. 1t is that cause
which | have now discovered. 1t is
an element that permeates the air
A child may apply it to the product
which is to be preserved when the
secret is learned"

HON. t. J. HAMS HOUSE ON FIRE.
Ffremen Responded Promptly at 3
O'Clock Thursday Afternoon.

AT p. m. Thursday the gong
sounded an alarm for fire which had
broken out in the residence of Hon.
Thomas j. Ham, corner of Eleventh
and Court streets. The fire depart
ment responded promptly, and al
though the fire had gained consider
able headway it was soon under con-
troll, but not until considerable dam
age had been done both by fire and
water. The fire was occasioned by
a window curtain coming in contact
with lighted gas jet on the second
floor, nearby window being opened,
the curtain was blown close enough
to the light to ignite, and no one be-
ing in that portion of the house, the
fire was not discovered until Mrs. II.
b. Searle, wife of the Doctor, who re-
sides next door, noticed the smoke
issuing from the window on the sec
ond floor, and from under the caves
of the roof. She Immediately gave
the alarm and notified Mrs. Ham
Mr., Ham, who has been i'll from the
result of stroke of paralysis, was
taken out and conveyed to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Decker, directly
opposite. Willing hands at once pro-
ceeded to remove the furniture, etc,
and as usual there was considerable
wreckage. The firemen worked en-
ergetically and saved the house from
complete destruction. The workmen
and employees at Industry point
brought out their emergency hose,
which has been installed at that
point, and did excellent service as
well as the firemen of the different
companies. Alert Hook and Ladder
Company from East Honesdale rem
dered signal service with the aid of
their ladders.

SCHOOL BOARD RESOLUTIONS.

The following resolutions were
passed by the school board:
Whereas, instruction in agricul-
ture is being recognized as a neces-
sity for young men and other lovers
of nature.
Resolved, That agriculture be in
troduced into Honesdale Public
Schools as one of the regular studies
of the school, and to that end that
Principal Oday be directed to pur-
chase 20 copies of the American
Book Company's work on farming
The subject to be introduced by Prof.
Oday during the remainder of this
term in such manner as he may think
fit and be regularly scheduled and
provided for next school year.
Resolved, That We approve of the
separate use of the gymnasium by
the boys and girls on different nights,
under the careful supervision of some
of the teachers; that in our judg-
ment the school house should be
closed by | 0 o'clock in the evening,
excepting on special occasions when
some special entertainment or con-
test is being held; that the gym
nasum is intended for physical ex-
ercise, and as Honesdale has a build
ing especially erected for amuse-
ments and dancing, we deem it un-
necessary to use the school house
for formal public dancing.
We recommend that our principal
and his assistant teachers use dill
gence in promoting healthful recrea-
tions in the gymnasium, in order that
the public shall be stronger morally
and physically, as well as improved
in manners and general behavior.
