There is practically no hope that
any rain will fall for some time.
Famed by westerly winds, surg

instructions of forest officials, some
for private lumber companies and
others under the sheriff's orders.

Experienced timber men say
nothing can check the flames but

Flames are on all sides OF the

call charter election, make a plea
that they acted in good fait in set
ting the date of the election for the

sooner.
The reasons given for this action
are chiefly as follows: That the
petition is weak in that it does pot
show that the signatures of the
men on the petition are qualified
voters; that their occupations are
not stated; that the genuineness
of the signatures are not attested;
that there is no way Of verifying
the legality of said signatures ex

that on this showing not over one
fourth of the petitioners are legal
voters; and that there was no cleo
