Idaho and Montana. Up in Duluth
it was 50 dark some days that it was
necessary to burn lights all day. So
much smoke hung over lake Superior

day and night. Several times in this
locality, in the early morning, the
sky took on most peculiar color 1t
was yellowish green until the sun
arose for his days work. The heavy
rain of last Wednesday night has
cleared up the atmosphere.
