ENCOUNTERS STRANGE
MARINE PHENOMENON
Vessel Sails for a Day Through
Snow White Water

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Aug. 13.
In a report made yesterday to the
United States photographic office here
the statement is made Of an inexplic-
able phenomenon that marine interests
declare is without precedent. The
statement is filed by Capt. H. Samuel
son of the American barkentine Auro
on arrival from Callao, Peru.
June II, in latitude II degrees south
and longitude so west, according to the
report, the vessels course brought her
into an area of snow white water. The
expanse was so large as to require
nearly. an entire days sail to traverse.
Its merging with the natural ocean
water was sharp and definitely defined
in color, creating a marvellous scene of
marine beauty.
Investigation failed to show that the
phenomenon was due to submarine vol
canic eruption, or other upheaval. A
bucket filled with the milk white liquid
when left an hour on the barkentine's
deck resumed normal sea water color.

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 13.-The i'm
mense forest fires raging in the Couer
d'Alene district in Idaho, especially in
the vicinity of Wallace, Murray and
Mullan, are taxing the fighting re-
sources of hundreds of men almost be-
yond endurance, and the task of sub
DUNG the flames is practically hope
less.
Citizens of the threatened towns are
in a wild state of panic and the dense
smoke which envelopes them causes
intense suffering. Men and women are
praying for rain and that there may be
no change of wind.
A heavy pail of smoke hangs over
the district. Ashes and embers are
falling everywhere. Any change of
wind from the south to west would
bring the fiery furnace to the top of
the hills overlooking Wallace, where
the flames would create a heat in
which frame buildings would burn like
tinder, despite all precautions.
DRIVEN BACK BY FIRE
The fighters on Placer creek were
twice driven from the trenches yester-
day by raging tempest of flame.
Reports from other districts tell of
serious losses to fire fighters in the
way of camp equipment. The forest
ers camp at the Bullion mine has

and the camp at Bird creek met with a
similar loss. Fires in the Murray dis
trict have made great headway.
A supply pack train of thirty-five
packs with q relay of thirty-five fight
ers, en- route from Iron mountain to
independence creek, at the head Of
the st. Joe, unGer the direction of
Roscoe Hailes of the forestry bureau,
is reported whereabouts unknown"
FLAME FIGHTERS MUTENY
The fire fighters became alarmed
while en- route, mutinied, stopped the
train, removed packs and abandoned
them and started back to Iron Noun
tain.
Attorney Aitken arrived from Mis-
soula today, called on Sheriff Wallace,
and asked to have the mutineers ar
rested, but decided by the time they
could be reached they would have
crossed into Montana, and the trip
would be useless. The forestry office
has had no word from Halles as to
what became Of the horses and packs.
The Pine creek fire jumped into Big
creek of the st. Joe, burning section
8, township 46, 3 east, in choice and
heavy timber, said by the forestry de-
partment to be among the finest
growing on the reserve.
The fighters, worn out by their long
hours, have found all their efforts
have been to no avail, and look to no
relief until a heavy storm stops the
fires

RELATIVES ASK POLICE

Resident of Hemet Who Was
Robbed in San Diego Missing

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 13.-Relatives of
I. B. Sawyer of Hemet, Cal, have
asked the police of this city for trace
of Sawyer, who has been missing for
a number of tdays.
Early this week he was brutally
beaten and robbed in the lower end
of town by three Mexicans and on the
day following his experience he left
the city, declaring he was afraid to
remain here longer. Since that time
he has not been seen.
The chief of police today was noti-
fled of Sawyer's disappearance and of
the belief of his relatives that the
blows he received from the Mexicans
either caused a temporary arrangement
of mind or death. Sawyer was a vet
eran of the Civil war.

there was not enough equipment on
hand to care for more than the new
laborers secured from day to day.
A report made at the forestry office
today shows that there are at present
1000 men in the field, exclusive of the
soldiers, and 300 pack horses, all being
maintained at the expense of $500 a
day.
In the forest about Missoula the sit
uation is worse today. Fire is spread

Reformer's Mistake.

The girls who have lunch in the
District building ladies' tearoom are
giggling over the story of the female
reformer and how she got left.
1t seems that the female reformer,
who is occupied in one of the offices
of the District building, espied a
young girl with dresses at her shoe
tops" going in the side door of sa-
loon.
Woof! She telephoned to the po-
lice and told exactly what she had
seen and where the place was.
Around came two large policemen.

them went in at the side entrance
and made Investigations. He came

Real Courage Displayed In Becoming

Saving Wretched Horse From

The horse dragging a street piano
along the main thoroughfare OF
large New England city was so evil
IDENTIFY inadequate TO his task that peo-
pie turned and looked at it. Some
laughed-it was funny sight to them
to see such a raw-boned, half-starved
rat of horse, dragging the gaudy in
strument, with a fat man tramping
sturdily along beside 1t, but others
looked serious. Something ought to
be done about 1t. The thing was an
outrage, and why did not the police
attend to It? But whether they smiled
or frowned, nobody took any definite
action.
Two young men came along the
sidewalk together. They looked at
the spectacle in disgust, but were go
ing on their way like the others, when
one of them hesitated, and then
stopped abruptly.
why doesn't somebody get that fat
Villains name, and have the society
that looks after animals take that
beast away from him?" he demanded
sharply of his companion.
The other smiled.
why don't you?" he asked, per-
tinently.
well, why don't II" The other
| drew a long breath. Because I'm
afraid of having the crowd call me a
'butter-in.' That's the trouble with
most of US. I wouldn't be afraid to
stand up in front of any man in sight
in an out-and-out fight; and as for
that man, either of us could turn him
over and spank him without taking
out coats off. But we're all afraid or
being considered chicken-hearted."
Right you are, Billy" agreed his
companion. But don't see just what
you're going to do about it."
What l am going to do about It,"
exclaimed Billy, sis to kick myself
across the street, and take the first
steps toward separating that man
from his horse! And I'm not going to
let myself care a snap who sees me
doing it."
True to his determination, the young
man strode across the street and
stopped the procession. A moment
later, and little crowd of interested
spectators concealed him from his
companion. The crowd grew. Pres
emily it attracted the attention of
distant policeman, who hurried up and
forced his way into 1t. There were
signs of lively discussion; then the
crowd melted, and Billy rejoined his
companion.

phantly, SIS now going to be handed

Precious Mexican Relic.

In the chapel of monastery at
Puebla, Mexico, is one of the most pre-
cious relics of the Spanish conquest
of America. 1t is small wooden
statuette Of the Virgin Mary with the
infant Jesus in her arms. Battered
and worm-eaten as 1t is 1t is dressed
in silks and gold aud jewels and placed
upon the high altar for the veneration
of the faithful For 1t was given to
fernando Cortez by the Emperor
Charles ", and the famous conquista-
dor carried it throughout his career.
The relic at one time saved the life
of Cortez during battle. But for IL
Mexico's history would have been Diff
ferent.
One hand has been replaced by a
hand of silver. This hand was shot
away by bullet that would other
wise have killed Cortez. He gave the
statue to Acxotecatlec, captain of the
republic of Tlaxcala. who was his ally.
Ever since his days 1t has remained in
the monastery, but there Is now a
movement to take 1t to the National
museum, where the ravages VI time

American women do not find that sort

Mrs. Elizabeth York Miller, who is
herself an American, and has only
lived in England for two years, ad-
mitted that the American husband is
not so companionable as the English
husband.
But Americans were very unselfish.

TYPES GIRLS LIKE

ALITY MAKES BEST LOVERS.
over In England They Think the Eng
Iishman Is Supreme, and Two
American Wo7-cn Fave sided
With Them.

For long 1t has been supposed that
Englishmen do not make good lovers.
1t is said they are too plain, straight
forward and downright. They lack, 1t
has been suggested, the flnnesse and
skill of foreign men in wooing.
But the statement of Mrs. Gertrude
Atherton, the famous American nov
elist, that If she married again she
would marry an Englishman for choice,
since he is far the most interesting
type, raises the question anew.
Inquiries go to show that, in the
opinion of some people at any rate,
not only is the Englishman better
lover than the American man, but
| better even than the Frenchman, the
| Spaniard or the Austrian.
Mrs. Atherton added that as her pro-
fession made her habits and home un-
stable, she did not intend to marry
anybody.
But she was sure that men of other
than English nationality, and Ameri-
can men especially lacked the sub
tlety of the well-bred Englishman, his
finesse and his charm of conversation
and manner.
Another English author, who asked
that her identity might not be dis
closed, as she did not wish to quarrel
with American friends. spoke even
more definitely.

girls marrying Americans?' she asked
There is a good reason for this.

Clever
Little Reginald

In the first car which Mrs. Flyte
entered little girl with forget-me-
nots on her bonnet was standing on a
seat and reciting In loud. clear tone
the story of Little Miss Muffett Mrs.
Flyte hurried forward into the second
car.
There she found two small boys,
watched by their admiring parents,
playing tag in the aisle. Bag in hand,
she succeeded in lodging the combat
ants and sought third car.
AS there were no children visible in
that car she dropped gratefully into a
seat IN front of which bunch of very
