are reported TO have been driven from
their homes by the ravages Of forest
fires. and Joseph Burzinsky and wife
are missing. The settlers who escaped
say that the Burzinsky home was one
of the first in the path of the flames
and the fact that the Burzinskys have
not since been seen of heard from
leads to the belief they were caught
and have persisted.
The greater part of the Big Greek
settlement has been wiped out
Information comes from Dayton,
Wash, that the forest fires in the
Wenaha reserve are under control. The
fires there have ragged for ten days and
burned over a large area, destroying
several million feet of timber. 1t is
said to be the most serious that has
occurred in the Blue mountains for a
number of years.
Word comes tonight that the fires
in the st. JOS district have been
famed TO redoubled fury by high
winds and that nothing but rain can
check them.
A special from Sites, Ida, tonight
says the situation in the Elk City dis
trict is the worst in the history of that
region. Under the influence of the
high winds prevailing in the noun
tains for the last two days and nights
the forest fires are burning with re-
doubled fury. The whole country In
the vicinity of Elk City is ablaze.
The town is cut off from commune
cation with the outside world and sur
rounded by fires. The fires on Ten
Miles. which were supposed TO have
been burned out were famed into ac-
tivity again. Major Fem reports
three new fires on the Selway and on
EldOradO creek. Both are in dense
timber and are sweeping through the
forests faster than a man can walk.
No word has been received today from

ances, such as electricity, we may
safely say that the London tempera-
ture is increasing at the rate of not
less than one degree Fahrenheit every
century, which will bring us to the
Egyptian temperature perhaps a little
sooner than | stated-in, say, about
5000 years.
Recent research has shown that the
effect of the gulf stream in bringing
warmth to this country is much less
than supposed. Spreading, as it does,
when it leaves the coast of Newfound
land, it's temperature drops consider
ably, and in summer time cannot be
said to have any influence in increased
warmth to England at ALL
1t is rather to a drift of warm su.
perficial water, called the North At.
lantic drift, that the comparative mild.
ness of this country Is due But all
evidence. geographical, meteorological
and astronomical, points to the fact
that England and London are slowly
getting near to warmer climate.
