GRAND MAR|AS IN
GREATEST DANGER
Forest Fires Sweeping Over
States of Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota.

Duluth, Mimi. May IA wireless
message from Grand Marias late to-
night says the wind has risen anew
and again the town is in grave danger
of total destruction. The fire struck a
large belt of dry timber three miles
from town this afternoon and the
toward the lake. Every available per-
son in the town is fighting the flames.
DROUTH THE CAUSE.
St. Paul, Mimi, May 11.-Owing to the
unusual drOuth in Minnesota. the for
ests in the north and eastern parts of
the state, in northern Wisconsin and
Michigan have been burning for sew
eral days and great damage has been
done. So far. however, no fatalities
have been reported.
Little rain has fallen in Minnesota
this spring, and since the last snow
storm of April "a and 20, not enough
moisture has fallen thoroughly to wet
the ground. Ordinarily soaking rains
prevail during April and May.
Everything is dry as finder. espe-
ciaIIy in the woods, and fires started
by settlers in cleaning their lands ana
by sparks from locomotives spread
rapidly into growing fires.
For the last two days a strong wind
has been blowing over some of the
northern counties and this has helped
the spread Of the flames, blowing the
smoke over a wide area. The air last
night in St Paul was pungent with the
odor of burning brush and grass.
Hard Fight BEING Hade.
Reports received from Calumet,
Mich, state that the fires about Ais
ton, Painesdale, South Range and Bal
tic are less serious today. From Cass
Lake, Mimi, also, the reports are more
assuring. After several hours of hard
fighting by forest rangers and volun-
teers, a line has been established
around the fire and the wind has abat-
ed. Indications today are that the fire
there has been checked unless the
wind comes to cause the fire to jump
the barrier
The damage done to Seeding trees
and homesteaders' property is said to
be great, although no estimate is pos
sible.
The same section of Minnesota was
swept by fire two years ago At that
time Chisholm, a town of $500 people.
was wiped out and the residents of
Grand MaraiS were taken from the
town in boats. The state militia was
sent with the naval reserve vessel
Gopher to assist the fire-fighters.
Wind Has Abated.
Specials from Two Harbors, Mimi.
say the wind has gone down and that
the forest fires are under control.
Another dispatch from HOughton,
Mich, says that some of the fires in
that vicinity have been brought under
control, but that new fires have
started in other places. and with the
wind blowing as 1t did yesterday the
work of stopping the fire is difficult.
Calumet, Mich, reports the danger
passed

J. Horace Mcfarland, president OF the
American Civic Association. spoke on
civic art in America, before the Wash

He said civic art IS often understood 10
consist of filing streets with marble
fountains. setting up tons Of statuary in
parks, twining lamp posts with wrlgly
things, and buildings with punches of
fruits and flowers tied with impossible
stone ribbons.
Mr., Mcfarland said Washington sup
piled the one example Of civic art based
upon intelligent planning, and where
other cities have gone upon incidental
plans, Washington shows a preparation
for definite end.
He spoke of the signboard nuisance and
mentioned the signboards near the Capt.
tol, which ne characterized as an outrage
unjustiiable from any standpoint The
Garfield statue, he said, is used as a
background for the advertising Of Quaker
Oats, and il would not be long before the
Coca Cola people would hang a sign on
