A Union Of Fires.

1t was really union of a number
Of separate fires, driven to fury by
the fierce hurricane Of August rs. To
the west of the Idaho-Montana boun-
dairy in the region of this fire lies a
very inaccessible mountainous coun-
try, into which, on account of the alb
sence of trails and Of forage, it was
almost impossible for forces of fire
fighters to penetrate. When the hur-
ricane arose 1t drove the fires upon the
parties which were hewing a way to-
ward them, forced these parties to seek
refuge wherever it could be found,
and swept down upon the forests
where the fires were up to that time
generally we'll in hand. The extern
sive losses are ascribed to the COM
bination of hurricane and lack Of
means to get to the fires and put them
out before the storm came. On the
forests which were best equipped for
controlling fires the results achieved
are regarded as a demonstration of
the efficacy of the fire-fighting meth
DDS employed, even under highly ad-
verse natural conditions.
Forester Graves believes that, as
usually happens in the case of big
fires, there will be found to be con-
siderable areas of living timber with
in the regions now mapped as en-
tirely burned out. OF necessity, the
figures given are tentative, for it has
been impossible to examine all the
burned areas thoroughly. AS fast az
possible however, the Forest officers
are locating and estimating the bodies
of timber killed but capable Of being
numbered, If taken in time. There
will be an enormous quantity Of fire
killed timber, both on the Nationa
Forests and on private lands, to b.
disposed of as soon as possible, sine

The Campbell Bros. are giving two
performances in Hattiesburg today,
and everyone who visited the big show
this afternoon voted it one, if not the
best ever seen in here. The show is
run on strictly business principles,
and there is no gambling or short
changing allowed on the grounds or
in any part of the tents, and every
one came away with nothing but praise
for the Campbell Bros Shows. This
is a new name for the South, the
Campbell Bros. being a Northwestern
organization, but they are certainly
making good, and every place they
exhibit they are invited back. A good
MANY people had formed the idea
that it was a show on the order oil
the rest of small organizations that
make this section of the South, ano
I consequently were agreeably surpris
ed to find it one of the better class
shows of the country. The parade
which took place about one O'CLOCK
was good, and is really very creditable
to the management. Three brass
bands, and steam caliope furnished
music. and the herd Of seven ele
plants, ian uncommonly large mum
ber), attracted everyone's attention
and the lady and gentlemen riders
were all costumed in bright, flash!
suits, and made a very pleasing ap
pearance. The horses were in beauti
full condition, and some Of them rea
thoroughbreds.
The afternoon performance pleased
everyone, as there was such variet!

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
DISCUSSED IN EUROPE
(By Union Associated Press.)

London. Oct 2S-Although for the
past few weeks the leaders of the
government and the opposition have
been in conference frequently, it
would be not officious for one to state
almost with authority, that no agree
ment has been reached regarding the
impending changes in the system of
the whole system of parliamentary
government and in the fundamentals
of the British government. This is all
the more unfortunate because the lead
ers of both parties have, during these
conferences, made sincere efforts to
reach a non-partisan solution of the
grave questions involved The basis
of the sweeping changes under discus
sion is Earl Gray's federation scheme
for the empire, which he outlined dur
ing his visit to London in June. This
project provides for local home rule
for Ireland, Scotland, England and
Wales. The Imperial parliament is to
consist of a house of commons of 10C
members and a senate of the same
number. The commons will comprise
approximately twenty-five Irish, TWEEN
ty-five Scotch, twelve Welsh and 13'
English members. The senate will in
clude 100 of the present lords. Thu
colonies will be represented by six
year senators on an approximate popu
lation basis. This is, of course, tn
scheme in the rough, but the idea i
immensely popular in Ireland, Scot
land and Wales.

BREEDS AND LAYING CAPACITY.
Laying capacity varies greatly
among individual hens. This has
been discovered by the; use of trap
nests Experiment station records
show that hens vary from $50 eggs
per year to no eggs. Frequently a
looking hen, in good health. v-ill
rot pay for the food she eats, while
another hen Of the same breed and
with the same care, will lay eggs
worth three or four times the cost
of the food.
The smaller breeds, such as Leg
horns. are usually the most profit
able for egg production. The Leg
horns should lay as many eggs as
the Plymouth Rocks and breeds of
that kind, on one-fourth less food.
But the question Of profit does not
hinge on egg-yield alone. Large re-
turns will be secured from the sales
Of the Plymouth Rocks for market,
which will about balance the differ
ence in the cost of feeding. Weekly
