SEEKS FOOD FOR CANADA
FOREST FIRE SURVIVORS
16 'HuddIed in Dry Well as Flames
Swept Across Farm

RAINY RIVER, Ont, Oct. 1O.-The
terrible results of the Friday, Saturday
and Sunday forest fires are beginning
to be realized by the disheartened and
homeless thousands. Bodies found
along the railway track three miles
west of Beaudette were brought hero
this morning. There was not particle
of clothing left on any of them save
parts of shoes. The bodies had the
appearance of having been baked In an
oven.
This morning searching parties were
organized and went south to relieve
suffering and pick up the dead. 1t will
be days before all the dead can be
reached, owing to the great trees which
have fallen over the roads. In some
instances houses are filled with refu-
gees, who are without food. Matt
Hendricks came in from his claim,
three and one-half miles southeast of
Beaudette this morning and told OF
thirty persons who were housed in his
shack without food. He said that when
the fire struck his place sixteen of
them got into dry well eighteen feet
deep and remained there nearly suf-
locating from the heat and smoke until
the fire had passed. AS the fire passed
ii yeered to the southeast of his house,
which was not burned. Every other
inflammable object on the place waS
licked up by the flames.
FLED TO RIVER
Many settlers got into the Rapid
river and saved themselves by wading
in the water, although even then their
faces were blistered by the heat. Sew
eral bodies, which are probably those
Of the Roulin family, were found in
a clearing in the woods. The fire
still threatens the few houses along tie
river In Old Beaudette. The Eagle
companys men gave up hope OF saving
their property, two miles down the
river, and sent all their horses to n
place of safety. 1t cannot be learned
whether the property is burning.

Committee in Awarding Contract.

Samuel B. Donnelly, public printer, to-
day answered the rule issued against
him at the request of the Valley Paper
Company of Holyoke. Mass. which seeks
to prevent the execution of contracts to
purchase paper for government use. APP
proved by the joint committee of Con-
sress on printing The company COM
planned that the joint committee was not
properly constituted. and that when 1t
refused to consider the company's bid
and approved other bids it acted without
color Of right.
The public printer denies that the joint
committee was improperly constituted
and claims that even If it were not le-
salIy authorized it acted as the COM
mittee. and the company has no standing
in court to attack it's action. The rails
Ing of any such question belongs only to
the Senate or House OF Representatives,
it is claimed.
Last February. when the company filed
it's now famous mandamus proceedings
which called forth the ruling Of Justice
Wright that senators and representatives
are amenabie to the courts process
when attempting an administrative func-
lion. it is pointed out, the company ac-
knowledged the existence of the same

The committee; being de facto body,

perors OF Japan and Korea The asso-

tionary propaganda which seeks to free
Korea from japanese influence.

Emperor of Japan:
ITO the IIlustrious Emperor of Japan:
We, natives of Korea, in the name OF
humanity and liberty, beg your majesty

FAVOR ONLY TWO COUNTS.
Plan for Saving Money in Examin-
ing Treasury Paper.

Assistant. secretary of the Treasury
Andrews and Joseph E. Ralph, director
of the bureau of engraving and printing,
are to meet i'm a few days at Dalton,
Mass. where the distinctive paper used
in printing all sorts of government and
national bank currency is made, to con-
slider plans for reducing the count and
examination of this paper from three
times to twice, thereby saving the gov
eminent considerable money. Mr.. An
drews wants to familiarize himself with
the work of the paper factory
The contract for this paper during this
fiscal year is 55.OO0.OOO sheets. or 100000
pounds. 1t has been the custom to
count the paper at Dalton before it is
shipped here, count it again in the
Treasury Department on arrival and
again when it reaches the bureau. These
examinations and counts are absolutely
necessary to protect the government.
The paper is the only kind in the world,
and il the sheets should disappear coun-
terfeiters would have a picnic In initiating
the securities of the government
The proposition now under -ronsidera-
ton is to eliminate the count in the
Treasury Department. This would be
done by making a more careful eXami-
nation and count at the factory at
Dalton, and sending the paper direct to
the bureau of engraving and printing.
1t is estimated that the government
would save 900 a year in salaries by
reducing the number of counts to two. :"
