F CREST FIRE
LOSS $4,000
Reports Show That Figure will
Cover Damage In U. p.

The damage from forest fires I'm the
upper peninsula this spring viii not
exceed $4,000. State Forestry Warden
VIM. II. Oates has received reports
from deputies i'm all but two or three
counties of the peninsula, and these
list losses aggregating approximately
$4,000 No reports have yet been re-
ceived from the lower peninsula.
The reports To date indicate that for
the most part the havoc wrought was
In the destruction on sideways i'm the
woods. The reports are filed by coun-
ties, every fire that occurred i'm each
particular district being listed.
The heaviest loss was in Schoolcraft
county, and here the damage totals
only $500. Three thousand hemlock
logs ON skids were burned, as were ten
cords of hemlock bark. As far AS is
known, Marquette county is the heav-
lest sufferer. Where standing tim
Der was scorched. IT was counted as a
total loss.
The next heaviest loss was in Raber
township, Chippewa county. according
to the estimates received by Mr.. Oates
The damage there is put at 81, 900.
Damage everest i'm ated.
THE reports that have received"
said Mr.. oates at Marquette, sub
stantiate my belief that the damage
from forest fires i'm many places in the
upper peninsula this spring were at the
time grossly over-estimated. My dcpu-
ties were instructed to procure infor-
nation as nearly accurate as possible.
and | believe that the loss as it has
been reported To me covers details
which in the estimate of one unfamiliar
with the work would have been over
looked, and still the aggregate is lower
than the estimate made by great
many people.
The damage from forest fires last
spring was much lower in comparison,
but the comparison is not fair. for the
reason that last year there were steady
rains and the fires were given no
chance 10 make a Roadway. This
spring everything was dry, and had the
department not had such an effective
organization and had ii not received
the hearty cooperation of the town
ship fire wardens ana supervisors the
damage would have been much higher
than il is"
The reports show that i'm but few
cases has there been damage To per-
sonal property. a few shacks Of lum-
Der camps were destroyed. but for the
most part the flames were kept well
away from the buildings.

An Impressive Program.

The mothers Day program at the
Christian church Sunday by the ladies
of Dorcas circle was most interesting
and impressive. The church was
crowded, and throughout the program,
as the speakers and readers brought
back to the people thoughts of home
and mother, some long since gone to
the other shore, there were tears, some
Of Joy in happy recollcctions Of an
angel mother, others Of bitter anguish
because mother had been neglected
through thoughtlessness or ignorance.
The program brought it all back, car
ried the people back to the old home
where once again they saw a curly.
headed chap, or bright-eyed girl, care
free and hungry to get out Of the
home nest into the big world, standing
at mothers knee. The ladies did ex
ceptionally well, and received many
flattering compliments for their work

Assessment Well Along.

According to Deputy Assessor Molloy
the work of assessing Clearwater
county is now well along, individual
property being practically all assessed.
The assessment Of timber holdings will
be taken up as soon as the cruise is
completed. Town property is getting

throughout the county. So far the
Republican has heard Of no complaint
over the valuations placed by Mr..
Blake or Deputy Molloy, and if there
was some system whereby the people
could look over the entire assessment
Of the county and compare notes be-
fore the valuations are sent up to the
county equalization board, little COM
plant would ever be made. The peo-
pie want nothing but square deal.

q lot Of work on the roadbed up the
Clearwater branch from Arrow juno
ton. Construction crews are widening
the grade In many places, and the
wooden bridge At Arrow is being re-
placed by = heavy steel structure.
The general impression is that the N.

water branch ready for heavy trains.
and that the near future will see actual
work start on the Missoula cutoff. It
is admitted by railroad officials that the
sale Of the government timber near
Orofino, advertised to take place in
July of this year, will mark the begin
ming of active railroad work, and that
the Missoula cutoff will be a necessity.
The surveys have all been made, and
everything is ready for letting the con-

London, Sept. 10.-The correspond
ent OF the Daily Nal atiRotterdam,
end of the Daily Mail at Rotterdam
has telegraphed the text to the mes
sage sent by Emperor William to
President Wilson under date OF
September 4 1t is as follows.
Il consider it my duty, sir, to in
from you as the most notable repre-
sentative of the principles of human
ity-that after the. capture OF the
French fort of Iongwy, my troops
found in that place thousands OF
dumdum bullets which had been
manufactured in special works by the
French government. Such bullets
were found not only On the French
killed and wounded soldiers and on
French prisoners but also on English
troops. You know what terrible
wounds and awful suffering are caus-
ed by these bullets and that their use
is strictly forbidden by the general
recognized rules of international war
fare.
Il somlemnly protest to you
against the way in which this war is
being waged by our opponents, whose
methods are making it one Of the
most barbarous in history. Besides
the use of these awful weapons the
Belgian government has openly incit-
ed the civil population to participate
in the fighting, and has for long
time carefully organized their resist
ance. The cruelties practiced in this
guerilla warfare, even by women and
prisests, toward wounded soldiers and
dcctods and hospital nurses were
such that eventually my generals
were compelled to adopt the strong
est meanres to punish the guilty and
freighten the bloodthUsty population
from continuing their shameful deeds
Some villages and even the old
town of Louvain, with the exception
of its beautiful town ball OHotel dc
Ville), had to be destroyed for the
protection of my troops.
