FIRES IN FORESTS
BURN FARM HOMES
MARlNETTE COUNTY SETTLERS
ESCAPE WHEN FLAMES AT
TACK DWELLINGS.
GOODMAN is THREATENED
Thousands of Feet Of Logs Are pc
stroyed by Fires Raging in oconto
county-summer Cottages Burn at
Lake Backgammon.

Marinette.-Forest fires are menac-
ing property in several parts of Mar
nette county. Two farmers near Arm
strong Creek have been burned out
and with their families escaped from
their burning homes. NJ A. Collins,
a farmer near Amberg, was also burn
ed out He was unable to save his
live stock.
The Goodman sawmill at Goodman
has been closed and the employees sent
out to fight the fire and save the town
which is threatened with destruction.
Much timber and pulpwood piled
beside the spur tracks and sidings of
the railroads awaiting shipment to
the paper mills is endangered by the
flames.
Damage in Oconto County.
Surfing. Forest fires have been rag
ing all the week in the vicinity OF
Claywood, Lakewood and Townsend
in Oconto county. Several hundred
cords of cordwood belonging to the
Falls Manufacturing company of Ocon-
to Falls and thousands of feet of logs
have been destroyed Unless there is
rain soon much of the country in the
northern section of Oconto county
will be in great danger.
Summer Cottages Burned.
Superior Brush fires which have
been sweeping the country east and
south of this city, endangered the vii
lage of Nebagamon and destroyed five
summer resort buildings mile across
the lake. The burned buildings were
formerly used as tuberculosis sanl-
tarium, but had been abandoned for
that purpose and remodeied. They
were worth $4,000.
The brush fires have died down, but
heavy pail of smoke hangs over the
district, and drifting out on Lake SUI
perior makes navigation hazardous.
The danger of a confagration is not
considered imminent, as the country
is not heavily timbered, but many
farm houses are threatened.

STATE TREASURY DEPLETED
With No Large Receipts in Prospect,
Treasurer Calls Upon DEPOSIT
tary Banks for Money.

Madison. State Treasurer Henry
Johnson reports the amount in the gen
eral fund on May 1 was $1,932.2S8.O4,
as against 1921, 941.45, a decrease OF
$1.z99,353.41. He found it necessary to
call upon the depository banks to re
plenish the funds of the working banks
by $619, 400.
There is no prospect of extraordi
nary receipts. Not until August will
the general fund be augmented. when
the railroads will pay the second hall
of their taxes, about $1,900,0O0. With
the legislative session thirty or forty.
five days longer, adding $1,000 per day
to the expense, the situation is not
promising.
