FOREST FIRES DESTROY
OVER 10000 ACRES
Flames Sweep Township in
Observation-Disclosures in
Other States.

M1LLERS FALLS, Mass, May 1.2-The
forest Ares which have been sweeping the
townships Of Montague, Wendell and Erv-
ing for the past three days continued to
rage today, and up to noon had burned
over about 10000 acres Of timber and
brush lands. causing damage estimated
at fully 100000. Twelve farm buildings
have been destroyed by the fire since it's
origin.
There was but little wind blowing today.
and this aided the work Of tho volunteers
in fighting the flames; but that the fire
would have to burn itself out unless there
should be heavy downpour Of rain was
generally believed.

Serious Complaints Heard.

For several years. said Mr.. Sulzer
today, serious complaints have been
made concerning the conduct and ad-
ministration of immigration matters,
especially at New York.
There Is no we'll known or established
system for interpreting and executing
fairly and reasonably the immigration
laws. condition which has Of late
been condemned by several judges of
the United states courts. Moreover.
the press Of the country is constantly
demanding a reform Of the existing un-
American practices and policies in con-
nection with this subject. So, in my
opinion, it is high time a thorough in
vestigation was made and the evils COM
planned of remedied."

Mexican Capital Is Quiet
Despite Rumored Uprising

MEXICO CITY. May 12.-Despite the
rumors Of q student uprising and pos
sible attack on the city by the rebels,
which gave the more timid residents some
uneasiness last night. nothing out OF the
ordinary had occurred at the capital this
morning.
The students are said to have planned
q political demonstration, and precaution-
ary measures have been taken by the
government. The police guards on the
streets have been increased and a re-

The officials of the war department

Of his surrender Of Juarez, but 1t is said

periors. 1t Is reported here that he will
be tried by court-martial for the sur

Criticised for Surrender.
Notwithstanding that the press and

the defense OF the city appeared to in

made a heroic stand, the fact that he dis
played the white nag when apparently in
good fighting condition is widely COM
mented upon a. remarkable
II is believed that the evidence to be
developed by the court-martial may vim
dictate him. as it Is understood here that
a portion OF his command fought two
days without food or drink, and some
reports have it that Navarro handed his
sword to Col. Garibaldi only when the
suffering Of his men was such that he
could no longer endure the sight, hard
ened campaigner though he is.
Railroad communication is maintained
through Laredo and to Tampico, Vera
Cruz and points on the lsthmus of
Tehuantepec. Traffic is interrupted be-
tween Pueblo and Oaxaca on the Mex

ELECTRIC HEADLIGHTS FOR
SOUTHERN PACIFIC ENGINES

/ All of the locomotives of the South
ern Pacific company are rapidly being
equipped with electric headlights.
The system is the invention of one of
the men in the Sacramento shops of
the company and consists of a small
turbine engine and generator. This en-
CINE has the power of generating thir-
ty volts of electricity, sufficient for the
headlight, classification lights and sew
eral smaller lights about the engine,
all controlled by a switch in the en-
gineer's cab. This does away with
the inconvenience of using the old
fashioned torch at night when oiling
the locomotives.

A MOST HAPPY
FAMILY REUNION

Mrs. M. A. (Grandma) Crawford
c. H. Whitmore, enjoyed an unusually
| Merry Christmas this year as a result
of being the guest of honor at a fam
| lily reunion on Christmas day.
Mrs. Crawford had been visiting in
| Palouse, and returned home Sunday
evening, where she was greatly sur
prised to find her children, grand
children waiting to welcome her.
Those present were: Mr.. and Mrs. G.
H. Whitmore and family, Miss Effie and
Lena Whitmore and Master Ralph
Whitmore, all of whom reside in Mos
COW. The out of town members of the
afmily were Mrs. Whitmore's son-in-
law and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. B. l..
Youngs and children, Lucille and Ly
mon of Spokane. Mrs. Whitmore's
brothers, Perry and Donald of Spo-
kane, and Mr.. and Mrs. w. r. Craw-
ford and children, LaVerne and Doris
of Seattle.
Grandma Crawford, who will cell
citrate her 74th birthday between
Christmas and New Years, was the
liveliest member of the party and pre-
sided at the dinner table, which was
loaded to its capacity with the usual
goodies of the season, in a manner
which indicated the presence of her
ever ready cheerfulness and hearty
appetite.
This is the first time she has en-
joyed the pleasure of helping the
plates" of all her children at one table
for many years, but all are unanimous
in agreeing that she has not forgotten
single detail of that motherly func
ton which they so greatly enjoyed in
years gone by.
All Grandma" can say is that she
has had the time of her life.
