Forest fires in Canada have just
destroyed 100000 worth of prop
erty and caused a loss of several
hundred lives. Forest fires are
matters which neither the govern
ment, reciprocity or the lumber
trusts have been able to prevent or
control. They have, to date caused
more damage to forests than the
woodsman's axe. The recent Canad-
ian fire was one of the most ter
rible in history.

{. CHICAGO BOY
BURNED IN FIRE FIGHT
Blaze in Peat Recalls Acct

Year Ago.
Especial TO The TrMEs.)

East Chicago, Ind, jury 30.--Another
dangerous. occurred yesterday in a va
cant lot facing Barring avenue between
142and and 143rd street. The origin OF
the fire is upnknown but it is suppose i
ii was started by boys who have a
penchant for that sort of thing around
East Chicago.
The fire department was summone ]
to put out the blaze after a little boy,
whose name was unknown to the fire
chief. had burned his foot quite pain
fully. A year or two ago a little girl
was very severely burned by stepping
into 8. bed of live flame which she could
not see owing to the coating OF ashes
which covered IL.
The danger in these fires comes from
the fact that they burn deep the tor
having the appearance of having been
merely passed over by fire which ha
died out. In some places the muck mas
been known to burn two feet deep.
few days ago some Beacon street
boys started blaze IN the brush jus,
west of White Oak avenue, which
might have proved serious in the dry
boys were interfered with however be-
fore the blaze became uncomfortable
and put 1t out. The police are keeping
a shap lookout for youthful fire-bugs
and promise to deal severely with any
who are caught in this dangerous mis-
chief.

DEFAULTS
HIS BOND

Paul Miller. 90 Bier Place. Chicago
who was arrested by Captain Hanlon
for speeding on Indiana boulevard last
Saturday afternoon did not appear for
trial before Judge Barnett this morn
ing and his bond Of $50 was defaulted.
Miller was driving 80 miles an hour
when he was arrested and his case was
the second where a bond was forfeited
the former bond being s25.
In one court in Chicago the Judge
imposes a fine of s1.00la mile which
they are found to be driving and Mil
Ter likely thought 1t would be wiser for
him to forfeit his $40 than to pay $32
and costs.
Judge Barnett generall imposes a fine
of So and costs amounting to SIS. This
morning Jimmy frost was figuring a
problem out. If Miller would have ap-
peared for trial he would have saved
$500 and as he stayed away he lost
$500. Then how old is Ann?

but when they get over that I am going
to get them" said Captain Hanlon this
morning.

The election situation In West Ham
mond seems 10 have clarified consider
ably In the past twelve hours. The
people of the village have come to the
conclusion that the proposition to make
the village a city has carried.
Martin Finneran says that 1t is not
necessary to have a majority of the
votes cast at the last general election
in favor of the project
He says that all that is necessary Is
to have a majority OF the votes cast
at the recent special election. This
majority was a large enc and so in his
opinion the village is now city
There are a few technicalities upon
which there is some doubt. however.
When the date of the election was
changed 1t is said that the required 80
days notice was not given in accord
ance with the provisions of the law.
This, however is not likely to cause
any trouble unless some one went TO
the trouble to contest the election on
these grounds. There are some minor
matters that might have been done
more thoroughly but from present in
dications the election. which was held
in good faith, will stand and the citi-
zens of the new city of West Ham
mond. Will at once proceed with the
plans for their election.
Everybody wants to see the change
made and they say that any one who
would take advantage of a technicality
to force the city to hold another cleo
tion when the cost of the three others
has been considerable would arouse the
wrath of the residents of the place.
