Utica, Aug. 25.-Theodore Roosevelt

without quarter on the "Old Guard" Of
the Republican party in New York
state. Having been drawn into the
fight. as he says, against his will. he
has determined to pursue it to the end,

Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude was indicat.

he issued.

The colonel said he was going into
the fight with his eyes open, and with
full realization of the fact that he
might not be successful He said he
felt that, on account of the attitude OF
members of the organization, he was
at perfect liberty to carry on uncom.

Colonel Roosevelt's Endorsement OF
state Senator Frederick Davenport
was the first step in the fight which
ne expects to carry on from now until

Sherman Refuses to Talk.
Vice President Sherman, who is one
OF the central figures in the struggle
and whom Colonel Roosevelt opposed
by his Endorsement of Davenport said

From the mass of sensational re-
ports sent out early in the week there
are only nine authentic cases of death
in Montana. These included eight
miners at the Bullion mine, near Bo.
rax. and one death at Taft. A few
are still included among the missing,
but the list of these is gradually d.
minishing as communication is being
restored. ...
With assurances that the storm of
Tuesday night had materially lessened
the danger, scores of refugees started
from this city to return to their de-
serted homes along the Couer d'Alene
line of the Northern Pacific Those
returning homeward were principally
people living between Saltese and Iron
Mountain. Some of them have lost
their homes while others who never
expected to see theirs again, will find
them unchanged. The refugees. are
being carried to their homes by the
Northern Pacific free of charge.
Wires Being Restored.
Telegraph and telephone communi.
cation is being re-esta blished and the
railroads are forwarding relief and
repair supplies for the restoration of
their lines.
All settlers have been brought from
dangerous locations and no further
loss of life is expected. One hundred
and fifty men are holding the fire at
Troy and force Of 200 men is en-
gagged at Libby. Everything possible
is being done with the 500 men in
that field to get the fires under con-
troll. No further .helpis needed there
| at present.
From Priest River, Idaho, Supervis-
or Miller has requested more aid.
District Forester Greedy advised him
that troops were not available and
instructed him to secure laborers at
Spokane. Supervisor Miller reported
that 40 miles of the south and west
boundaries of the forest are afire. The
fire is burning north and west Of
Priest Lake. The check to the fires
by Tuesday nights storm is giving
the forestry department an opportun-
ity to reorganize it's fighting forces
and attention is now being paid to the
mobilization of crews for relief work.

The Northern Pacific railroad is car.

the repairing Of its damaged line be-
tween st. Regis and Wallace.
The company's S bridge, a struc-
ture several hundred feet long, and
the Carbon Hill bridge have been de-

to the Dorsey tunnel, however, that
the local officials are most interested.
This bore is long and wooded through

Mayor Grant Conard of San Diego,

extolled it, declared it had resulted

The schools comprises numerous
stone buildings and 4, 900 acres of land,
and is open to all Indian children ex-

Five Civilized tribes in this state.
The land is valued by the officials at
100000 and the buildings at $500 900.
Representation has been made ut
Washington, it was stated, that the
buildings were dilapidated, the farm
lands Of little value, and that Indians
refused to send their children to the
school.
The committee, headed by Repre-
sentative Charles H. Burke, chairman
of the house committee on Indian af-
fairs, made thorough inspection Of
the place. The equipment was said to
be in excellent condition and the farm
lands among the best productive In the
state. For the government to close the
institution and sell out the lands would
be to rob the Indians of one of their
chief sources of education, said an Of
