one ventures to estimate the financial
loss, for the extent of the burned
area is not fully known. The nation
al forests have lost many of the finest
trees they possessed.
Yesterdays developments in the
forest fire situation in Montana were
encouraging. For the first time in
several days the sun shone through
the pail of smoke that has hung over
Missoula. Hopeful reports came
from all directions. Men reported
missing were found. The intensity of
the flames was greatly reduced by the
snow and rain of Tuesday night. All
towns in the fire area are now out of
danger There are only nine authen-
tic cases of death in Montana. These
include eight miners at the Bullion
mine near 3orax and one death at
Taft A few are still missing but the
number is gradually diminishing as
communication is restored.

THE WARNER MONUMENT
Letter Of Appreciation Of Historical
Town interests

Editor of the Banher:-I have
heard only words of appreciation and
praise for the imposing granite men,
orial that Col. Olin Scott has erected
on the battle monument grounds to
Col. Seth Warner of Revolutionary
fame. The proportions and simplici-
ty of the structure give 1t strength
and beauty which will never tire as
the creation is a true work of art. At
the inception OF the project of erect
ing statue to Col. Warner had
some doubts as to the desirabillty of
having the surmounting figure in
stone but | must confess that 1t ap-
peals to me more forcibly than any
/ bronze figure that | have ever seen.
Stone under the cunning chisel of the
artist is capable of giving force and
expression to the features. Bronze,
on the other hand, covers the face as
with a mask, expressionless, cold
and dead. Again | like the location
of the monument. The hero that
has been immortalized In Thompson's
Green Mountain Boys" stands In the
foreground as II TO welcome the visi-
tor to the greater monument which
mutely tells its own story. There
can be no rivalry between the two
monumnets as they are so dissimilar
in size, general appearance. uses and
purposes. All homer to Col. Scott in
setting up this grand memorial in his
native town.
hear that Mr.. John V. d. S. Mer,
rill, who takes live interest in old
historic Bennington, has raised a mod

suitable markers on several of the

There are Altogether thirty-odd spots
deserving recognition. Some OF these
are known but very few now livlnl
here or elsewhere. For instance

TYPHOID EPIDEMIC
M. e. Wheeler of Rutland Blamed for
Spread Of Disease in That City

Spread Of Disease in That City
Rutland Aug. 25.-At a meeting Of
the local board OF health held last eve
ming at the office OF Or. c. f. Ball,
health officer. II was the expressed
opinion OF the board that the present
epidemic of typhoid in this city is for
the most part due to the cess-pool
maintained by NJ. +. Wheeler at his
cottage on the Mendon river.
This Is the second scare Of the
kind in this city during the last two
years. A similar condition existed a
year ago when iniunctions were is
sued against several persons for con-
Eliminating the city water supply. AT
that time, say the Board, Mr.. Wheel
er promised to remedy conditions but
has not done so.
Although two or three new cases
have developed, II is the opinion OF
the board that the situation is under
control.

TAFT MAY
NOT TRY TO

President and Friends
Shocked at the Main
Election.
(By United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
BEVERLEY, Mass, Sept. 13.-No
statement regarding the election in
Maine was issued toda yfrom the
executive offices here. The Maine
results shocked Taft and his ad-
visers. That Is an open secret and
the result was not more pleasant
because of the presidents recent
visit to Maine and the semi-pol Utica
speeches he made in which he
called attention to the length Of
service Of Maine's public men.
Although nothing like a state
ment has been given out, the idea
seems to have been adopted by
common consent that President
Taft will not be candidate for re-
election. Supporters of the admin
istration are denying that there is
breach between Taft and Roose-
Welt, but the Maine returns are con-
sidered demonstration of the be-
lief that there is no love lost be-
tween the president and his prede-
cessor.

election will be hurried change in
