FOREST FIRES SWEEP MICHIGAN
Several Persons and Much Property
Consumed by Spreading Flames.

Detroit, Mich, July 12.-With
hardly more than half dozen houses
left standing in the villages of Aus
able and Oscoda, with the city of Al
pena fighting a disastrous fire, and
with forest fires raging along the line
of the Detroit and Mackinac railroad
from Ausable to Cheboygan and 9TH
er points in the northern part of the
lower peninsula, a heavy rain is
needed now to prevent possible
heavy loss of life, such as attended
the destruction of the village of
Metz, Oct. 16, 1908, and the burning
of nearly score of persons, seeking
safety on relief train. The smaller
towns of Metz, Millersburg and Tow
er, along the Detroit and Mackinac
railroad, were reported to be burning
today, and Lewiston, in Montmoren-
cy county, and Alger and Turner, in
Arenac county, were said to be seri-
ously threatened by forest fires.
The wire service from Ausable
north to Cheboygan was interrupted
this afternoon, but news Of the fires
at Alpena, Oscoda and Ausable was
forwarded to the Associated Press by
train to East Tawas, where wires
were available for transmission to
Detroit There are rumors that some
lives were lost in the first at Oscoda
and Ausable, but it was impossible
tonight to obtain any confirmation.

NOTHING SOLD AT LAND SALE
State Expects New Appraised Tracts
Will Prove Inducement to Buyers.

No land was sold at the state land
sale held this morning at the court
house under charge of Theodore Nell
son, who represents State Auditor
Iverson, at all land sales. The sales
during the past few months have
been small, owing to the fact that
land which is placed on sale at the
present time, has been on sale for
the past year and there is no demand
for it. Relative to this Mr.. Nelson
said: Several of the appraisers
were here this morning, and they in
formed me that they have complet-
ed the appraising of more than 5000
acres in Beltrami county, and will be
for sale in the near future"

TELL IT TO FOREST RANGERS
W. T. Cox Says Fires Should be Re-
ported to Them Directly.

Announcement has been made that
fires breaking out in the forests
should be reported to the nearest
ranger. Information is being sent
direct to the forester's Office at the
capitol, and much time is lost in
transmitting it back to the rangers.
State Forester Cox has prepared a
list of the rangers and their ad-
dresses, to whom fires can be report
ed directly. Mr.. Cox says that while
it is important that such information
reach the state forester's Office, it
would be much more effective if the
rangers are notified directly L. F.

If County Board Favors Project High
way May Be Constructed Under
New ElweQ Law.
INCLUDES NEW STEEL BRIDGE
Structure to Be Erected near Outlet
and Made Strong Enough for
Street Cars.

Much interest was shown at the
meeting held last evening in the
Commercial club rooms, for the pur-
pose of discussing the proper meth
DDS to pursue in the esta blishment
of boulevard around Lake Bemidji,
and plans were agreed upon which it
is believed will mean the construc-
ton of such a road with the next
six months.
W. R. Mackenzie and w. N. Bow
ser were named to circulate a petit
ton, which when completed will be
sent to the board of county commits
sioners. At noon today seventeen
persons had signed the petition.
State to Pay Half.
If the commissioners act favOrab-
ly on the petition, it will be sent to
the state highway commission for
it's approval, and if both bodies act
upon it favorably, the road will be
constructed, as is provided for in the
Elwell law, passed by the recent leg
islature, whereby the state will pay
one-half of the total cost Of the road,
the county One-fourth and the other
quarter to be obtained from assess
ments
The petition will be published and
posted, then there will be the hear
ing, the state survey and then comes
the advertising for bids for the build
ing of the road.
Preliminary Work Takes Time.
1t is probable that the work which
will necessarily have to be taken
care of before the contract can be
let will take three months, and as
the road cannot be built in less than
another three months, the boulevard
can not be in use in six months and
this 1t will be, if the plans arranged
last evening do not miscarry.
Roy Bliler, the Beltrami county
surveyor, has completed an estimate
of the cost of constructing the eight
miles and a half required to make
the boulevard, which was read al
the meeting last evening.
Estimates Cost at $4,000.
The estimate amounts to $4,000
as the amount needed to complete
the road, which includes the erect.
ing of steel and cement bridge over
the Mississippi river at the outlet
of Lake Bemidji.
Il have so drawn my estimate, u
said Mr.. Bliler, "that it will include
the building of bridge across the
river at the outlet. The bridge to
be entirely of cement and steel. 1t
will be SO arranged that if it be de-
sired to run street cars it may be
done, without rebuilding the BRIDGE -

Miss Eva Shea Delivers One of Best
orations Ever Heard at High
School.

In what was without a doubt the
best Grafton delivered at the high
school this year, Miss Eva Shea gave
full account of the life and deeds OF
Joan of Arc. Miss Shea gave vivid
description Of the little village in which
Joan was born and gave an interest
ing Rccount of her early gtrlhood,
telling how she was directed and ad-
vised what to do, and where to start
by visions
Miss Shea made plain what potent
factor Joan of Arc was in freeing
France. She took Joan to her highest
point of favor in France and then by
her ability as a reader, touched the
hearts Of the entire student body, In
her pitiful story of Joan's death.
Eva Shea, in her Grafton this morn
ing, gave evidence of great POSSIBLE
ties as a reader. She received much
favorable comment, but no more than
was due her. ...
Miss shea will be one of the lead
ing candidates for the heavy roll in
the senior play.
