Mistake.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., May 1l.-(Special)
TO be sent to a point 1900 miles from his
destination by mistake was the expe-
rience Of little Greek boy about Is years
of age. who the other day was found wan
derng about the street OF Woonsocket The
lad was taken in by kind-hearted residents
OF Woonsocket who endeavored to learn
something of him,- but owing TO the fact
that he was unable 20 talk English but
little could be learned from him. As near
as could be gathered he had only recently
arrived in the United States from Europe
and through some mistake had been sent
on to South Dakota instead OF to Woon-
socket, r. l., where It appears certain he
has relatives who he came TO the United
states TO join, The unfortunate boy had
but S5 cents in his pockets when found
wandering about the streets, so a collection
was taken up for him and arrangements
made to have him forwarded to Rhode
Island.

Forest Fires

Woods in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan Are on Fire and Strong
Wind Spreads Flames.

ST. PAUL, May 11.-owing to the unusual
drouth in Minnesota, the forests in the
north and eastern part of the state, in
northern Wisconsin and Michigan, have
been burning for several days and great
damage has been done. So far, however, no
fatalities have been reported.
No rain has fallen in Minnesota this
spring in any amount and since the last
snowstorm Of April "a and 26 not enough
moisture has fallen to thoroughly wet the
ground.
Everything Is dry as tinder, especially
in the woods, and fires started by settlers
In clearing their lands and 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 helped the spread of the
flames.
Reports from Calumet, Mich, state that
the fires about Aliston, Painesdale, South
Range and Baltic are less serious today
From Cass Lake, Minn the reports are
more assuring today.
Indications today are that the fire has
been checked, unless the wind comes up TO
cause the fire TO jump across the barrier
The same section of Minnesota was swept
by fire two years ago. At that time CHS
holm town of 2,5OO. was wiped out, and
the residents of Grand Marais were taken
from the town in boats.

nation.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-President Taft
is facing a new party complication. In
his effort to obtain an appropriation of
$25c, 600 to enable the new tariff board to
ascertain the difference in the cost of pro-
duction here and abroad and thus lay the
foundation for another tariff revision based
on accurate and scientific information, it
is said today that the president would have
the opposition of Representatives Payne,
Dalzell, Fordney and other high protec-
tionists of the house.
The insurgents are backing the presl-
dent up in his demand for the appropri-
alton, and republicans generally are look
ing to the appropriation and the promise
of another revision which it carries as one
of the brightest elements of hope in the
coming campaign.
The insurgents are wondering today IL
in the event Of opposition from Messrs.
Payne, Dalzell and the others, their repub-
licanism will be called into question by
the powers that be-"
The plan of the ultra protectionists It
is said. is to rest their opposition on a

freight house, which has been discussed
for some time, Mr.. Mohler said. we are
going to let the public build that for us

than we can afford TO lay out at this time.
We will be busy for year or two erecting
our new office building and the new car
shops and planning plant. which will neces-
state an outlay of about $2,00O0O0. We are
soon to call for bids for the new car build
ing and planning mill, which will cost ap-
proximately 100000 with the machinery in
