men on the list of the government for
esters employed in Idaho have reported
to the supervisor, or are known to be
safe.
Spokane. WASH. Aug. 24.-Iifty-four

Idaho, Montana and Washington. A
government crew working on the Big
Fork of Occur dAlenc has been lost, it

of twenty employees Of the United
States forest service were found with
in u radius of one mile on Setter creek
yesterday by a searching party headed
by Deputy Sheriff Charles J. Sullivan

beyond recognition.
Spokane, Wash, Aug. o4.-The news
that comes from the burning forests
OF Idaho. Montana and Washington in
creases the seriousness Of the situation
s." far as the destruction of timber is
concerned. but reducos the estimate of
the loss Of life. Only lf' y-four persons
are known to have persisted.
Hundreds of national forest rangers
who yesterday were reported missing
and probably dead have not all turned
up safe, but IA of them have.
The firc-SWcpt country contains
many lakes and streams of water, and
by taking rcfuS" in these the skillful
rttngorS probably saved their lives.
Everywhere except near the towns
the fires are sill spreading. Many
companies of United States and state
troops are on their way to the scene,
hoping to OutmancuNcr an enemy that
cannot be conquered by Il front attack.
The best hope Of tho threatened for
ests, however, is in the Sky. Rain
and snow have fallen in Montana and
light rains in Idaho and the season OF
fall rains is near at hand.

in His Own Party.

Buffalo, n. Y. Aug. 25.-TheOdorr
Roosevelt pledged himself to the men
Of Buffalo today to help them n al:
sincere citizens to fight croOkedncss

II will help you just as did in the
past" he said, speaking to the Elliott
club, whose guest he was at breakfast.
He made a plea for the punishment
of crooked and grating public officials
and the election of honest ones in their
places as the only process Of gradually
but permanently raising the morals of
political and business life and said he
thought it his duty to hunt out rocks
and especially the crooks in his own
party.
Il believe in party government" he
said, but the the question of
honesty is involved | recognize no
party distinctions, or if | do it is that
I take it that it is q little more my
business O put the CRATER and crook
out of public life if he belongs to
my party than if to another.
This attitude demands that ones
attention be fixed not on financial or
social status, but on conduct"
