POLICEMAN CARNEY BACK.
The Borough Council Upon Petition

Policeman James Carney. who has
been Palisades guardian of the
peace for several years, was sus-
pended on January first at the re-
quest of several citizens here, who
charged that he was off the water
wagon too much. His case was in
vestigated by committee of coun-
Gil. A petition was signed by an
overwhelming majority of the resi-
dents asking for his reinstatement,
based. of course, upon his absolute
promise TO yield no more to the old
temptation. No one in Palisade has
for Officer Carney anything but the
kindest possible feelings. and every
one wishes him Godspeed in his new
endeavor. He is brave and valiant
man.

REPORT FIRES IN TRINITY
AND SISKIYOU COUNTIES
Men of WeaverviIIe Help Forest
erS Fight Flames

REDDING, Cal, Aug 23.-Forest
fires are raging in the mountains north
of this place through Trinity and Sis
kiyou counties to the oregon line.
At Weaverville the atmosphere is al
most sitting. All the men in the town
have been summoned by the forest su-
pervisor of the Trinity forest to beat
back the lines of six big fires burning
north of the town limits. The biggest
fire, on Bowerman ridge, near Miners
vile, has coursed over 1900 acres of
ground, skirting In a curious way a
large tract of valuable standing timber.
West of the sawmill town of Hit.
near the oregon line, sixty volunteers
are helping the rangers in the fight
against a fire that has been running for
four days. 1t is still uncontrolled, and
after burning along the Southern Pa
cific tracks for some distance is now
working its way into the big timber
Four fires have broken out along the
Salmon river banks, and another is
coming down the Horse creek tributary
toward the klamath river.
All of the fires in the Shasta national
forest are practically under control.

show that conditions in the st. Joe
country are not as bad as had been
feared. West of Missoula, st. Regis Is
still safe. Iron Mountain has never
been in grave danger.
Word was received here from Avery,
in the st. Joe country, that the town
and its people are safe and the fire
has subsided enough to permit relief
parties to start out in search of the
fighters who were caught in the fire.
One party of 165 men, supposed to be
lost and dead, was found today in the
upper st. Joe. The men had been in a
tunnel for two days and were un-
harmed.
1t is held by experienced woodsmen
here that there is no warrant what
ever for the sensational stories of loss
of life which were sent out from some
quarters this morning.
While the fires are still serious in
some quarters, especially along por-
tlons of the west side of the Bitter
Root mountains, the main blaze, which
has terrified western Montana and
northern Idaho, is believed to have
passed the critical stage. More than
1000 refugees in Missoula are being
cared for.

TEN FIRE FIGHTERS DEAD;
FOUR BLIND; -FOUR HURT

WALLACE, Idaho, Aug. 29.-Steve
r. Marquette of Independence, Iowa,
who was a member of Ranger Bells
party of thirty-seven men that was
hemmed in by the flames at. Beau
champs ranch, on Big lake of the
Occur d'Alene river, ten miles from
Wallace, arrived here today and re-
ports that ten of the party are dead
and eight in a hospital camp, four
being blinded and four suffering from
broken legs. Five of the uninjured
men are assisting a physician in nurs-
ing the unfortunates.
Among the dead are Joseph Beau
champ and Roderick Ames well known
ranchers, who had distinguished them
selves by bravery in the fight against
the flames. Mr.. Marquette said:
when the flames swept up the can
yon of the Big Fork we found our
selves surrounded on all sides by fire.
We ran back to the clearing at Beau
champs ranch. Bell ordered us to lie
down in a pool formed by the creek
Beauchamp, Ames and the others who
perished sought shelter in an opening
in the hill which Beauchamp had dug
for his valuables. The water in the
pool where the men who escaped lay
was only five inches deep, and the
sparks and hot wind compelled us to
turn over every few minutes to avoid
being roasted. We breathed through
wet garments. Tobacco boxes and
razors in the pockets of men melted
and broke from heat. We lay two
hours in the water"

FIGHTERS CHARGED WITH
STARTING FIRES ARRESTED

BOHEMIAN, Mont, Aug. 23.-Fire
conditions continue to grow worse in
the Gallatin forest, and more men are
being sent to the front with equipment
for a long stay.
Fires at the head Of Bear canyon and
in the lower Bear canyon, and near
Hoffman, have Joined and the flames
are sweeping eastward toward the yell
lowstone river.
The fire has crossed the divide south
ward at the head of Bear canyon and
Middle creek canyon, and threatens an
immense area of heavily timbered
country In the heart of the Gallatin
forest, where the fighting will be very
difficult.
The fight of the rangers In Bear
canyon will be abandoned tonight as
hopeless.
In Bozeman canyon the fire has a
hold both in the lower and upper ends,
but is burning less fiercely than yes
terday.
Supervisor Conkllng telephoned this
afternoon from Gridley, north of the
Yellowstone park, that he was hurry
ing toward Cinnibar, where the flames
were spreading rapidly. Mr.. Conkling
estimates the burned area tonight at
55 square miles.
Last night in Bear canyon four men
of a party Of fire fighters who were
sent up Sunday afternoon were ar
rested on a charge of starting fires.
They are now in jail.
AS an experiment in rainmaking the
city authorities and county commits
sioners jointly are having 200 pounds
of dynamite exploded in the hills just
east of the city tonight.

VOLCANO-LIKE SMOKE
HANGS OVER MONTANA

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 23.-Although
no forest fire of consequence RACES
within 100 miles of Butte, the smoke
hung so heavily over this city last
night that the environs themselves
might have been ablaZe.
Conditions in central Montana are
little improved. The blaze south Of
Bozeman was not under control at 9
o'clock this morning and troops are
demanded. The fires in Lewis and
Clarke counties about Willburne and
Gould still rage. Neihart, Barker and
other towns in Cascade county are yet
in peril, the exact status Of the blaze
being unknown. A lrairie fire near
Harden, in Yellowstone county, threat
ems that town, while it Is rumored that
Wibaux, in Dawson county, is threat
ened by a prairie fire.
These fires are all Independent of the
Occur d'Alene blaze. Many are hun
dreds Of miles from the scene of that
conflagration, but the entire state,
prairie and forest, Is like tinder, and
no one can tell what town will go
next.
The smoke now covers an area OF
several hundred thousand square miles,
lying over the state like pail from
a volcano. Only an abundant rainfall
can extinguish the various fires, as the
rangers have more than they can ham
die and sufficient troops do not seem
to be available.

The Idaho militiamen are on the way
from the encampment at American
Lake, Wash, near Tacoma, to the
Coeur d'Alene. President Taft noti-
. fed Governor Brady today that he
would send to Idaho all the troops
available, but that United States SOL
diers could not be used for police duty.
Governor Brady will go to the front
tomorrow. None of the towns of Idaho
is In immediate danger, it is believed.
The fire is destroying much timber in
the national forests of the Great noun
tain chain whose crest forms the north
eastern boundary of Idaho and which
chain is called the Bitter Root, Occur
d'Alene and Cabinet ranges-in its
progress northwesterly from the con-
tinental divide of the Rocky noun
tains. These mountains and all OF the
Panhandle of Idaho are thickly clothed
with pine, spruce, red fir and hemlock,
and most of the country burning has
never before felt the breath of fire.
The timber cannot be eXcelled any
where In North America except near
the Pacific ocean. The people of the
United States, as owners of the ma
tional forests, are the principal losers
of property. 1t will require decades to
restore the devastated portions of the
forests. Big corporations, notably the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
railroad and the Occur d'Alene lead
and silver mines, which use much tim
ber in their workings. have also suf-
fered great losses. The timber losses
may reach S10,000.000. 1t is estimated
that more than 1900 settlers in Montana,
Idaho and washington have lost their
homes,

BLAzES IN COEUR D. ALENE
BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL
Wallace Sends Out Call for Doc
tors and Nurses

MISSOULA, Mont, Aug. 23.-The
forest fires which have ragged along the
Coeur d'Alene branch line of the
Northern Pacific during the last few
days are gradually being subdued, ac-
cording to reports received by the rail-
road officials here today. During the
night the high winds which prevailed
yesterday died down and in nearly
every burning district the fighters
were able to make progress against
the flames.
AT st. Regis, Mont, where the stu
alton was very serious yesterday, con-
ditions today were more encouraging;
in fact, many of the refugees were
preparing to return to their homes in
that town.
From Wallace; Idaho, an urgent call
has been received through the railroad
company for nurses and Sisters of
Charity to aid in relief work.
There are some fires around Mullan
and Burke, but these are not Of an
alarming nature.
No report has been received from
Saltese today, but superintendent
Fowler of the Northern Pacific and
his forces left st. Regis early today
for the isolated station and will pro
ceed at once with the rebuilding of the
damaged sections of the track.
No positive report has been obtained
of the situation at Henderson, but 1t
is believed by refugees that little loss
was experienced at that place.
Through passenger service has been
resumed on the main line of the
Northern Pacific, temporary track
having been constructed around the
burned bridge at Tuscor.
From the Bitter Root section no
serious fires were reported today
The smoke is lifting perceptibly here
and the sun is almost visible.
