THE GREAT FIRES
ARE SUBSIDING

AUBURN, California, August 25.-
After stupendous efforts on the part of
hundreds of firefgnters, the sweep of
flame which has been threatening the
destruction of the Tahoe forest re-
serve has been brought under control.
Up to last night all effort seemed to
be in vain. The militia was engaged
but not until this morning were the
heroic attempts to stem the tide of the
confagration rewarded with any de-
gree of success.
1t was thought that the reserve was
doomed to destruction but, though
great damage has been done, the fire
is now under control.
EUGENE, Oregon, August 25.-The
town of Vending has been destroyed
by the rush of the forest fire.
MISSOULA, Montana, August Is
The forest fire situation in this district
has very much improved. The district
forester, coming as near as possible
at this time in an estimate of the loss
es, states that he believes the loss of
life will probably amount to not more
than seventy-five in this section.
In Gallatin the fires have been
brought under control. Eleven fire.
fighters are missing at Trout Creek.
DENVER, Colorado, August 25-This
city is almost in darkness. The light
of the sun is shut out by tremendous
blanket of smoke, suspended like a
pail over the town. The smoke cloud
is estimated as being three thousand
feet in thickness and is travelling at
the rate of forty miles an hour.
WALLACE, Idaho, August 25.-It Is
estimated that one hundred and six
teen persons have lost their lives as a
result of the forest fires in this sec
ton. At Avery the bodies of twenty
forest rangers, VINO were suffocated,
have been found by rescue parties.
They were cut off by the flames ad-
vance and killed by the heat and
smoke.
SPOKANE, August 25.-There are
one hundred and seventy-five members
or range parties missing. Twenty-one
bodies have been found at Bitter Root
Creek. Forest fire conditions now show
improvement, however, and many of
the fire fighters supposed to have been
missing have been accounted for.
is thought there will prove to have
been no more casualties than the one
hundred and seventy-five mentioned.
ALBANY, Oregon, August 25.-The
town of Holley is threatened with de-
struction by the advancing forest
fires.

SUGAR WORSE THAN RUM.

New sins are invented daily, the lat
est being the exhibition of prize-fight
pictures and inspection of them. Also
new causes of human depravity are
daily brought to light, the latest being
sugar. At the State dental conven-
ton in New Jersey, last month, doc
tor from Hoboken told the dentists
that the human race is fast going to
pot along of sugar. Its low price, he
declared, had caused degeneration
among the people, and he said:
The loss of energy through the con-
sumption of sugar in the last century
and the first decade of this century
can never be made good. Alcohol
has been consumed for thousands of
years, but has not caused the degene-
ration of the whole human race.
1t is news that sugar raises such
hob with us. Perhaps the painful
things that happened to the sugar trust
we're a consequence of human degene-
ration brought on by too intimate an
association with sugar. VIII the w.

coen AMswERs Hls CRITICS.

DETROIT, Mich, August 1O.-In an
open letter Tyrus Raymond Cobb Of
the Detroit base ball team yesterday
afternoon answered his critics, who,
he claims, have been dealing out too
much injustice to the player for few
days. The letter follows:
Much has already been said about
myself and my companions with the
Detroit ball club. / realize | am not
above making mistakes-not the least
one being in getting into an argument
with some ducks around this town not
worth the effort to win an argument
from. AS yet, however, have not
burned any orphan asylums or robbed
any blind men.
Critics say am getting a fabulous
salary. Whatever that salary is feel
that my employer, Mr.. Navin, believes
| am earning it to the best of my abil-
ity. I have always given the public
the best l have in me. If some of my
critics who have been roasting me in
the paper would work as hard and
honestly they would find out the real
facts connected with the recent trouble
on the team and would not be mis-
guiding the public.
CAS- far as dissension on the club,
can only point to our continued vic
tories. We are giving our best to
win another pennant for Detroit, and
when the end comes the fans of De
troit will find us there If some of oul
critics would be as sincere in the
hope that we would win as the play
ers themselves our path would be
much easier. We have not failed the
fans for three years, and we don't pro
pose to this year. 1t seems that some
of the critics who are supposed t.
mold public opinion are the first t,
desert us.

HOW THE INDIANS HAVE BEEN
ROBBED IN BIC LAND DEALS

and members of the committee, who
Intercepted the witnesses, would be
paid for services that the government
already had promised to give the In
dams without cost.
Scott also showed in his testimony
that the cost of employing McMurray
would be in addition to 100000 now
paid annually to regular attorneys.
Scott's contention was that the attor-
neys on the regular salary were not as
active as contingent fee attorneys.
1t was Scott who testified that he had
sent kilograms to Washington, urging
the approval of the contracts. He had
been working for McMurray without
any written or verbal agreement, he
said, as to sharing in the fee and had
induced many Indians to sign. He
worked in this respect among the In
dams, despite the opposition of Green
McCurtain, chief of $4,000 Choctaws.
In one telegram to Richard A. Adams,
an attorney at Washington he referred
to Vice President Sherman and Senator
Curtis of Kansas as understanding
better than any one else what the
Indians wanted"
Sherman and Curtis.
Questioned as to what he meant by
that, Scott said he understood that
Sherman and Senator Curtis had long
been familiar with Indian affairs and
he thought they were the men to be
appealed to, Notwithstanding it hat
been shown that both Sherman ant
Curtis had protested against the II
per cent fee. They thought it too
high and unnecessary.
Before becoming connected with Nc
Murray, Scott had been treasurer o
the Choctaw nation.
McMurray, in view of suggestion
made by Representatives Saunders ant
Stephens and Senator Gore that M
itemized expense accounts were eve
filed by his firm, told the committe
that such accounts were on file in tn
department of justice and in the int,
rior department and are accessible
Chairman Burke said he was aware {
2 this fact.

Theodore Roosevelt, who passed
through here yesterday en- route 10 the

ment of his defiance o. the Republican
old guard in his home State.
He states that he Will continue his
fight against those who are entrenched
in power in the party committees aud
who turned him down in favor of Vice
President Sherman in recent eXecu-
tive committee election. The fight
will be to finish, he declared, and he
would neither accept nor give quarter
A strong party in opposition to Roose-
welt is developing in The state, aud a
hummer of the leading newspapers are

Attacks National Committee.
SEATTLE, Washington, August %
Representative Murdoch, in a speech
here last night in support of the candi-
dacy of Miles PoindeXter, contesting
in the primaries for the Republican
nomination against Senator Piles, pre-
dicted that the State of Washington
would go insurgent, in spite of the fact
that it is the home state of Secretary
Ballinger.
Murdoch made bitter attack upon
the regular organization as not repre-
sentative of the party, and said that
the national committee should be re-
organized before the campaign com
menced.

SULPHUR, Okla, Aug. 12.-Law-
yers' expense accounts running as high
as 100000, single fee, already paid,
amounting to $75O,OOO, and contingent
fees still pending that would aggre-
gate about $4,000, figured in the inves-
tigation today of the Indian land af-
fairs by the special committee APP
pointed by the house of representa-
tives.
1t was pointed out that the Indians
had never received large amounts of
money due them without having to
come across in the shape of fees and
although they employed regular law
yers all along besides having constant
ly paid for the employment Of special
counsel.
The special fee of $750,0OO was paid
several years ago to ]. F. McMurray
and his law partners after they had
prosecuted what are known as the cit
izenship cases, which it was stated,
kept off the rolls $4,000 claimants who
wanted to participate IN the Claims
against the government.
BY the winning of that suit, it was
explained that the value of the prop
erty to the Indians who remained on
the rolls was enhanced $16,000,000, on
basis Of $4,000 for each of the $4,000
claimants kept off. The sale Of the
property and the division of the pro
ceeds is still being fought for by the
Indians.
Testimony of a choctaw.

animation of George F. Scott, Chloe.

CASE OF ANDREW JOHNSON
TAKEN FROM JURY TODAY

The case OF Andrew Johnson YER
sus the Keweenaw Central Railroad
company was finished today, when the
court took the case iron. the jury,
giving as his reason the fact that the
engineer should have acted as the ar
bitter in the matter and secondly be-
cause a receipt for payment i'm full
was held by the company.
Johnson, who Is a contractor sued
the company for the sum of $4,000
which he claimed was due him for
construction work. The engineer, he
claimed, made certain changes which
necssitlted more work than was stip-
ulated in the contract.
The Circuit court then took a recess
until Monday morning when 20 appli-
cants for citizenship papers will be
examined. The jury was excused
until Wednesday when the trial OF
Charles Davis, charged with robbery

train. Davis will fight the case. This
is the last case on the criminal calen-
dar and was not heard before because
of the absence of one OF the principal
witnesses.
