Wilson Creek won seven silver
cups at the recent Dry Farming Con-
gress held at Spokane. Among
them is the Governor Cup" offer
ed by Governor Hay. There was
great rivalry between Grant and Lin
coin counties for this honor Espec-
ial interest attached to the fact that
Lincoln was the governors home
county.
A meeting which developed into a
rally was held at Wilson Creek last
week when the seven silver cups
were displayed to the people.
Speeches and hurrahs aroused in
tense enthusiasm. Never before
have the Grant county people real
lied the superiority of their soil.

Democratic PARTY HAS BIG
'SLUSH' FUND N CAMPAIGN
Party Better Fixed Financially Than Ever Before is
Report-Wall Street Gives Aid Republican Leaders
Aroused and Prompt Action Will Be Taken = Nor
gan Would Pit Wilson Against Roosevelt in 1912

Washington, D. c., Oct. 12.-Re-
publicans and democrats alike are
finding much TO discuss in the word
being sent out by the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee
in Washington, that the democratic
party is now better situated financi-
ally than ever before in its history.
The news is being published broad
cast, according to good authority,
and republicans are asking vertical
ton of the reports with more than
ordinary interest.
According to the congressional
committee, all leading corporations
and financial interests, including the
big business of Wall street, is
solidly backing the democratic par
ty. 1t is reported that Andrew Car
negie has contributed $4,000 to the
New York campaign fund, and that
J. P. Morgan's office is directing
Woodrow Wilson's campaign in New
Jersey.
1t is said Morgan is anxious to see
Wilson oppose Roosevelt in 1912 If
the latter runs for the presidency.
In Ohio, it is alleged, all the big
interests are backing Harmon. In
Indiana the same condition is report
ed to be working against Beverage.
The news being circulated by the
republican committee in Washington
is regarded as something of danger
note to republicans, and radical &C
lions in many quarters is expected.

May Delay Institute.

Superintendent Bowersox states
that the notice in the Daily World
yesterday of the institute to be held
here next week, was little pre-
mature. He advised Superintendent
Brown that if the instructors can
be secured for next week the insti.
tute will be held at that time. He
had, however, arranged for the in.
structors for the week following and
there is some doubt as to whether
he will be able to get them for next
week. He will not know positively
until tonight or tomorrow.

The superior court was in session
yesterday. The case being tried was
in Fred Franklin and his father-in-

International Falls, Mimi, Oct. IL.
With more than 200 and possibly
500 bodies lying in the woods, both
shores of Rainy river ablaze so miles
from its mouth in the Lake of the
Woods, the village of Clements, a
town of 200 people, leveled to the
earth, the most stringent means of
battle and the most that can be done
by way of relief will fall far short
of meeting the situation as it exists
in the Rainy River basin.
To combat this condition there are
but so state militiamen from Bemid-
il, and few refugees who have not
been rendered physical and mental
wrecks.
The hunt for dead bodies in the
woods-and they line every highway
and logging road in the burned dis
trict, which now covers more than
40 square miles-will take weeks at
the best. Coffins, in which to bury
the dead, and provisions to care for
the living are urgently needed.
Wind Has Left Fires
No amount of word painting could
possibly depict the horrors of the
holocaust. And there is we'll
founded belief that the end is not
yet. The only reason that more
towns have not been destroyed is
that the cyclone that made a verita-
BILE hell at Beaudette, Spooner, Grace
ton, Pitt, Williams, Swift and Roose-
welt, has lost track of the flames,
and is spending its fury elsewhere.
Three hours before the first relief
from Duluth reached Rainy River
on Tuesday morning the supply of
bread and flour in the town had been
exhausted.
Soldiers on the Scene
The Bemidji militiamen also came
upon the train after they had wait
ed in International Falls for six
hours for the Canadian Northern en-
CINE TO pull them over Canadian soil.
They Immediately plunged into the
black areas that once held the towns
OF Spooner and Beaudette, and fell
to picking up bodies and piling them
into collins. Most of the dead are
likely to fill unmarked graves, as
their bodies are charred beyond re-
cognition.
A sewing machine was wheeled in
to the streets in Beaudette and
few moments after the fire struck it
the machine was melted to an unre-
cognizable mass. The wind blew
through inch boards as il
they We're only shells, and knocked
men. women and children from the
Great Danger in Breeze.
Another breeze like that and 100
more forest fires will spring up in
this section. From one to so fires
can be found in every square mile
of woods in this north country.
With 1000 residents of Rainy Riv-
er harboring at least 200 refugees.
that city is still seriously menaced
by fires. The situation here is not
serious or even threatening at this
time, but every precaution is being
taken to make it perfectly safe. The
town Is being soaked with water by
the fire department. Vacant prop
erty on the outskirts, too. is being
wet down, and back fires guarded BY
hundreds, of men are being started
for a radius of five miles around.

To canvass the situation with
reference to the city of Colum
bus aiding in providing terminal
facilities for the Columbus, Mis-
sissippi & West Alabama Rail-
road, number of business men
met with the president of the
new road. Mr.. c.. F. Sherrod,
Thursday in the Mayors Office
and after discussing the matter
at length, appointed a committee
of five to work with the city at
torney in shaping the matter for
presentation to the city council
at its monthly meeting Tuesday
night. At the informal meeting
resolution was unanimously
adopted favoring the city doing
everything possible to assist the
enterprise and confidence was
felt that some plan would be de-
vised to reach material results in
that direction. The meeting at
the city hall was entirely infol-
NAL, about twenty representa-
tive business men gathering
there in the hope of furthering
the interests of the projected
road, which they believe making
as it will, a new and valuable
territory about eighty miles in
extent, tributary to Columbus,
identical with the best interests
of the town and community,
The primary purpose of the COM
mittee in laying the matter be-
fore the city council is to have
special election called so that the
people may pass on the question
of issuing bonds to assist the
road in securing right of way,
yards, etc., in Columbus. Presi- /
dent Sherrod several weeks ago
offered a suggestion in a public
shed statement that the city is
sue bonds for $4,000 for this
purpose. This proposition, which |
he wished understood as purely |
tentative, was made in further
ance of plans approved by numer-
Gus representative men of Co
lumbus to arrive at something
definite in making the new road
a reality.

ed several weeks ago, provides
for its connecting with the main |

The acknowledged strength OF
ex-Gov. Vardaman probably
makes him the leader in the

center of attack for the other
forces, which it is thought, may
result in a deadlock or possibly
in the election of a dark horse.
Besides Gov. Noel, several other
distinguished men who are not
considered as factors, may fig

make a choice from the announc-
