Forests Filled With Fire in Many
Directions, When Downpour Sets
in, Curbing Danger.
MILL AND MUCH LUMBER BURNS
Flames Get Beyond Control of Fighters
at Village of Roosevelt with Dis
astrous Results.


almost continuously since II clock
Saturday night has saved thousands
of dollars worth of property in Bel
trami and other northern counties.
Forest fires, which we're burning
in almost every dire ction entailing a
heavy loss and endangering farm
houses and villages, have been ex-
tinguished, reducing further peril
from this source to a minimum.
The rain has also put the ground
into fine condition for the farmers.
That the water began to fall at
the very moment when conditions in
the woods were becoming such as to
cause we'll grounded fears for serious
losses is shown by reports from near
by towns.
Fires Near Bagley and Kelliher.
Bagley had received news of bad
fires in the vicinity of Solway and
they were getting beyond control of
the fire fighters when the rain
quenched them.
At Kelliher, R. J. Poupore lost
several thousand cedar posts and
a large number of ties, at an esti-
mated loss of five hundred dollars,
before the rain began. This
fire started near Mayor Parker's
camp, and although crew of men
were fighting the further spread of
the fire, they were unable to check
the flames.
Eland Settlers Fight for Homes.
Albert Halvorson, tie and cedar
cutter for w. II. Wye, near Kelliher,
lost his shack and contents, three
tons of hay and about four thousand
posts.
At Eland, fires had been burning
continuously for six days and only
by great exertions were the homes of
many settlers saved.
Big Fire at Roosevelt.
In the northern part of the county,
the little village of Roosevelt wit
messed a disastrous fire last week
when the NJ. w. Simmons sawmill,
together with a 100000 feet of
lumber, house, barn, several head of
stock and about three hundred
dollars in cash were consumed.
Mr.. Simmons and men had put
up strong but unsuccessful fight
against the forest fire near his mill.
The shifting of the winds made it
impossible to check the onrush of
the flames and the mill yard was
soon ablaze.
There was no insurance on the
plant.
Dangers Ever Present.
The forest fires, which had been
raging in that neighborhood had
been partly under control by in
termittant showers and hard work
of settlers when the dry timber
would become ignited by flying
sparks and famed by winds would
start a new blaze, keeping the
settlersn constant state of an
xiety.
The drenching rains of the last
forty.eight hours are believed to
have extinguished every fire in the
territory except those that are
burn ing d deep in the ground.

was not bright and cheerful like the
other rooms, but was rather dark and
gloomy, and all 1t contained was an
old oak table and chair. In a corner
was a big box, and near it were some
papers strewn about as il some one
had dropped them and then had gone
away in a hurry.
Lucille picked up one of the papers,
but was disappointed when she found
she could not read 1t. 1t appeared to
be written In very different language.
"Oh, maybe Aunt Joy can read it,"
said Lucille. II must take it to her."
SO she folded the paper and started for
Aunt joys
Her Aunt Joy took the paper and
began reading it. Then suddenly a
smile shone upon her face and she
said, Lucille, you have not only
brought me good news

You wrote on both sides of the paper,
so the end of your story could not be
used.
When Lucille took the bunch of keys
she went to the palace, opened the
golden gate and then came to the door
with the diamond knob and lock.
First she went to the parlor and then
the dining room. There were fifty
bedrooms and the bathroom, kitchen,
porch and pantry.
Lucille went up moving stairs until
she saw the princess asleep in her bed
room. Lucille was a little frightened
at first, but the princess awoke and
asked her to have her father and
mother live in the castle. The prin-
cess was in silk from head TO foot and
diamond combs in her hair.
They went downstairs and got Luz
Giles father and mother and all lived
long and happy lives.

La Habra school. grade 4, age years.
Lucille went i'm the castle and she
found old-fashioned chairs and dolls.
She was much pleased with the castle
and in a few days the father and
mother moved in.
The castle was very big. so that Lu-
ellie could look out of many windows.
Lucille had many servants and had
girls to play with her. They had par
ties every day with their dolls
Lucille grew to be a princess and
she was married and with her husband
lived in the castle. She had a beauti-
full baby whose name was Roosevelt.
He grew up to be a man. and the
people in America wanted him for
president, so he was a president.
He was a good president. Don't you
think so? ELWOOD PROUD.

A SHORT SESSION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
When | first went to school l thought
that l was going to stay at school all
day.
When the teacher told me to go,
asked the reason. She said, well, the
first day we always send the children
home" 1 thought it was so funny to
go to school and stay about half an
hour. 1t seemed funny to go to school
and not stay hut little while.
The teacher said for me to come
back in the morning. / went back the
next morning and have been going to
school ever since.

UNUSED TO RULES

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My first day at school, I did not
know what to do. l talked out loud
and got up out of my seat and ran
out of doors whenever I got ready
Whenever / would get back the teacher
would tell me TO so to my seat. All
of the pupils would laugh at me.
When recess came they got around
me and tried to make me mad. When
school called. I tried to go into the
school house. / tried to study but
could not. 1 could not stay still long
enough. When noon came we went
over to a pond. 1t was frozen over.
The big boys skated on the ice, 1t
was lots of fun to watch them spin
along. When it came to 4 o'clock we
had to go home.
