rangers employed all the able-bodied
men whom they could press into the
service.
When the groups OF fire fighters
were overwhelmed the camps were al
SO destroyed. the clothes were burned
off the bodies of the men and the
bodies were often so charred that
fearchers stepped on them thinking
they We're pieces, of burned logs. The
fire obliterated the trails and the
burned country is difficult to go through
because Of fallen trees.
With these towns out of danger and
the settlers fled to places of safety, the
rangers were able to devote themselves
entirely to day to the saving of the
trees. Various fires are isolated and
will die for lack of food. In Montana
rain and snow fell, checking the flames.
In Spokane today the sun shone clear
and even in Wallace the smoke cloud
was lifted No one ventures to estimate
the financial loss for the extent of the
burned area is not fully known. A pine
tree centuries old has value beyound
the lumber it contains and the nation
al forest has lost many of the finest
trees they possessed.

MANY EXHIBITS
WANTED At JOPLIN
Resources of Middle West to Be Ex-
plotted at Ozark Interstate
Exposition.

Joplin, Mo-, Aug. 25-Realizing that
the Ozark Interstate exposition to be
held in Joplin, Mo-, October SIT in
elusive, is intended as an advertising
medium for the resources of the mid
die west, the citizens of the various
cities and towns through which the
Flying Squadron passed last week ac-
corded the tourists a hearty welcome
and assurance was given in almost
every instance that immediate steps
would be taken with view of having
all portions of the adjacent territory
represented at the big display.
The Flying Squadron consisted of
three large touring cars, carrying
twelve boosters. They visited points
in Missouri and Kansas, while one of
the cars continued the journey into
Oklahoma after bad roads forced the
others to discontinue the journey.
Other similar expeditions are to be
sent out later, while committees are to
be sent by rail to points remotely To-
Gated, but which undoubtedly will take
an interest in the exposition.
1t is expected the exposition will at
tract 100000 visitors, hence the adver-
tising value to community of its ex-
hibits may be easily appreciated. From
one part of the country will be sent
agricultural exhibits, while from others
will be sent mining specimens, live
stock, fruits, etc. A special Women's
department has been organized and
women in all parts of the district will
be represented at the Woman's Build
ing The idea of this big exposition,
which promises to grow in magnitude
from year to year, is to exploit in an
attractive manner the great natural re-
sources of the country included in the
Ozark region of Missouri, Kansas, Ok
Iahoma and Arkansas.
No charge will be made for displays;
booth space, lights, water, everything,
in fact, is furnished by the Joplin
Commercial club.
Already the exposition has received
the unsought endorsement of Gov.
Haskell of Oklahoma, who is urging
the people of his state to take an ae-
tive interest in the undertaking, which,
as is self-evident, is not for Joplin
alone, but for the united middle west.

SCHOOL CASE SETTLED
BY SUPREME COURT


Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 25.-The SUI
preme court has, in an opinion by
Chief Justice Dunn, affirmed the de-
cision of Justice Stillwell H. Russell
in a school district case from Carter
county. The trustees of Lone Grove
school district No 80 had called a spe-
cial election on the question OF buying
a site for a school house and erecting
a new building The proposition re-
ceived majority vote, but J. e. Nc
Carly, w. w. Barber and w. McElroy,
taxpayers of the district. brought suit
to enjoin the trustees on the ground
that the district already had school
house and Shat it took a two-thirds
vote to change the location of school
house.
The evidence showed that there was
a building in the district which had
been erected by voluntary eontribu-
tions before statehood. for school,
church and Masonic lodge use and that
it was still used as a school, but that
the district had no title to it. The court
held that a majority vote was suffi-
cient.

distinguish the rotten from the rot
tenest.
