FIRE SITUATION
is MOST SERIOUS

| Three companies of the 18th in
fantry, who belong at Fort Lin
coin, near Bismarck, n. D., III
command of Captain Amos H.
! Martin, arrived Sunday afternoon
on a special train. They had been
out at American lake attending the
military encampment and were or
dered direct from there. On Mon
day two more companies of the
same regiment arrived here on a
special Northern Pacific train.
They were on their way home when
they received orders to these parts
to fight fires, and came in by way
of Helena. Company E, in cons
mand of Lieutenant McLachlan was
sent to Olney, and Lieutenant
Gregg with company F is stationed
at Fortine which are the most
threatening places in the Saltwater
district. The other companies
were sent to Glacier park.
Supervisor Hams went to
Olney Saturday night to size
up the situation and returned
Monday with the news that the
Saltwater fires had burned out sew
eral homesteaders, including their
cabins and much of their goods and
timber, and the situation was not
getting a bit better.
The Peter DeGroat crew of 33
men were stationed there, and for
"a hours had an awful time of it.
Their camp was in the line Of fire
and was entirely destroyed, includ-
ing all blankets, tents, food and
tools. The last word that came
from DeGroat was Friday at 10
O'Clock, and nothing further com
ing all day, Saturday the officials
became alarmed and relief expe-
dition was sent out. They found
the men, but three of the number
had been pretty badly scorched in
the fire and were in serious con-
dition.

GOOD GAME CALLED
ON ACCOUNT OF SMOKE

The dense smoke from the forest
fires spoiled good ball game Sun
day between Whitefish and Kalis-
pell. In the fifth inning it was 1
to 1, with the likelihood of it being
anybody's game. The smoke and
dust kept on growing more dense
every minute, until at last the out
field could not be seen at all. The
umpire called the game as the score
stood at the request of the players,
but a great howl arose from the
grandstand and bleachers, that it
would be unfair to leave it that
way, SO the boys all went back to
work again. Kalispell was at bat,
and to cut things short rather than
than to take chances on getting
hurt, the Whitefish boys let Kalis-
pei get in score without any ap-
parent effort to stop them, and the
game ended.
Thompson was in the box for
Kalispell and pitched d fine game.
It took a couple of innings before
our boys got next to him, but when
they did they began pounding him
out. Skillman, a south paw FORM
erly with a San Francisco aggrega-
ton, was picked up on the southern
trip and has been drafted into the
Whitefish ranks. He is there with
the goods and had the Kalispellites
tanning the air. 1t was profess
sional game all the way through
in which the pitchers played the
important part, but were faultlessly
supported in the field. Kalispell
got their first score in the second.
It was all goose eggs for Whitefsh
till the nth when the boys got next
to Thomson's twirls and landed sew
eral out in the field, then by some
clever base stealing, engineered by
Coins, they brought in the score
that tied the game. The odd one
that Kalispell got didn't amount to
anything and would not have been
allowed if the game could have been
continued.
The other two games of the series
were postponed until some later date
when the atmosphere clears of
smoke.

motion, but this increases day by day

million miles.

SPOKANE. Wash, March A.
Manufacturers. shippers and meF-
chants are circulating petitions urg-
ing the council TO authorize a special
election. at which. the voters In
Spokane will be asked to go on rec
ord for or against the granting OF
franchises by the city to the Chicago.
Milwaukee q Puget Sound and the
North Coast Railway companies with
out terminal rate and common user
clauses. This. II is believed by many,
will solve a problem. upon which the
chief business interests and the news
papers are divided in their opinions.
The city council denied the COM
panies' applications for franchises to
enter the city by vote OF nine to one
at its last meeting. the chief cause
assigned being that the officials re-
fused to bind themselves to grant
terminal rates on westbound ship
ments to Spokane In the absence OF a
ruling by the Interstate commerce
commission in the Spokane rate case.
The council insisted upon the same
rates that are being made to Pacific
coast points. instead Of local ship
pers paying for 4 haul OF more than
400 miles back to Spokane from the
coast, in addition to the terminal
rate.
The North Coast Railway company
Of which Robert II. strahorn OF spo-
kane IL president. has expended Sc
100000 for right Of way in eastern
Washington and on terminal grounds
in Spokane. and the Milwaukee has
acquired more than 80, zoe. 900 worth

OF comets and draw them into clip

make regular returns as members OF

attracted many comets and changed

The magnitude OF the heads Of
comets range from 10000 to 1907
900 miles in diameter. A few have
been seen with less diameter than
200 miles. but many greater than
100. 900. The nucleus OF the comet
OF A. d. 1911 was / 100000 miles in
diameter, that OF the earth being
1916 and the sun Itself 866, 600.
With this colossal bulk the mass Is
small, for the nicely balanced mo-
tions Of the planets are not disturbed
even by their near approach.
The head Of the comet OF 1880 was
100000 miles wide, and OF 1853,
Donati's, 100000. The present comet
must be comparable to these mon
sters, since its apparent magnitude Of
nucleus Is greater than that OF the
planet Venus, although 1t is three
times farther away.
The giant comet Of 1S43. that won
der OF the ages, actually plowed
through the corona OF the sun at a
distance OF only $4,000 miles from
the appalling surface OF the solar
disk. Its velocity was more than $50
miles per second. How a body prac-
tically without mass, or at least a
force Of attraction strong enough to
be detected, could dash through the
coronal envelope and escape without
humiliation Is standing mystery.
