Walker FIockine to That Place
to Escape Flames.

Forest fires continue to throw peo-
pie into a state of terror in the vicin-
ity of Walker. Settlers and home
steaders are driving into that place
from all parts of the country adjacent
to Walker and tell of uncomfortable
fires in their neighborhood. The
smoke is so dense that these people
have to remain either in doors or else
get out of the country.
Richard La Vigne, a homesteader
living near the old agency. arrived
and told of big fires less than half
mile from his settlement. This local
ity has been recently settled up by
farmers from Iowa and Southern Min,
nesota and it is feared that many of
them will lose their homes unless a
favorable change occurs in the wind.
Across the Great Northern track
another fire is burning toward Walker
and In the path of this sweep of
flames are the homes of several set,
tiers Fifty men guard the tracks to
prevent the fire from crossing when it
reaches that point
In the village the fire company has
all fire apparatus in the streets in
readiness to combat the flying embers
should a wind come up to blow these
f1rebrands into the village,

Health officers Busy in District Swept

The national guardsmen in the fire
district, who had become exhausted
by constant patrol duty, have been
reinforced by the arrival of fifty men
and six officers from Companies c and

In addition to guarding against dis
order and patroling the relief stores

entire body of men in khaki, under
General Fred B. Wood, will put
through with a vigorous hand the plan
of sanitation adopted by Doctors H. w

IN NEED OF MUCH ASSISTANCE
Destitution Widespread Among the
Fire Sufferers.

Fire Sufferers.
w. H. Gemell, general manager OF
the Minnesota and International rail
way, who accompanied Governor Eber-
hart to Baudette, has returned to
Brainerd.
While the loss of life, fortunately,
is much less than at first reported -
he said, there is, of course, much suf-
fering from destitution, and the peo-
pie of Minnesota will have plenty to
do all winter to assist in rendering
aid to those who lost their all in the
recent disastrous fire.
Evidences of the willingness of the
people of Canada to assist in doing
what they could to relieve suffering
made me doubly proud of my former
fellow citizens, the Canadians, and
made us realize that after all the
brotherhood of man recognizes no i'm
aginary boundary and that whenever
needed we can always depend on one
another for help.
"At the present time the committee
is we'll supplied with food. What is
most needed now is lumber and other
material for building purposes, hay
and other fodder for cattle, clothing,
shoes and warm underwear for chill
dren and women. Governor Eberhart
was much impressed with the gener-
Gus sympathy expressed all over the
state for the sufferers in the northern
part thereof and greatly cheered by
the generous offers of aid he has re-
ceived from all quarters"

Formation of New Elements.

Uranium appears to have decadent

elements. of which radium is one.
which in turn yield the emanatiOn
and other elements designated as
radium A. B. etc. The theory has
been propOunded that uranium, tho
rum and radium are undergoing
atomic disintegration, and the heat
that radium evolves is the direct out
come of explosions of the atomic
structure. Elements of lower atomic
weight thus result and hence the ap
pearance of helium. This would ac-
count for the presence Of helium in
the rocks and spring waters of the
globe. where it has been accumulating
for millions of years. DR.. Charles
