HUGE FOREST
 FIRE RAGING
 IN. MINNESOTA

ST. PAUL, Oct. 12. Duluth, Superior and other towns in the vicinity are reported to be surround ed with raging forest fires. All of the wires are down and the entire country to the north of Lake Superb or is in flames.
 Many of the settlers have been burned out and the Home Guards have been called out to aid in the rescue work which is now in pro- gress where the fire has swept.
 In most cases the settlers were able to save themselves by remaining in the open fields neal their houses, but little could be saved from the houses.
 The flames are running through the tops of the trees and are being carried by a strong wind. It appears to be the worst forest fire that has ever occurred about the Great Lakes.
 MANY BURNED TO DEATH
 The village of Brookston has been destroyed and six hundred people perished with the buildings. Cloquet, city of nine thousand people, is reported to be completely sur rounded by the flames.

It was to this famous school that another Fair- banks boy went some time ago and is still there, viz; Gordon McNeer.
 MT. Betticher's letter under date of Sept. 10th, was in part as fo!- lows;
 'I am writing simply to say thaj Bob arrived here safely last Thur day night and Friday mo. ming W, went out to the Cathcdal ChoiI school as he has alreadJ W itt"n you and Dr. Farrow as decid d to ad- init him on two months probation Mrs Betticher and have the little fellow with us now and will see that he goes out to the school some time on Wednesday. The boys must report sometime before six o'clock on Wednesday afternoon.
 "A letter from Gordon (McNeer) tells me that he will arrive Wednes- day morning so Bob and Gordon can go out together Bob looks well and while l am quite sure he is home sick for the sight of you all le is a brave little fellow and every one who has met him likes him very much. Miss Sanford, the house mother at the school is very much taken with him and Bob is going to find a great friend in her. She is devoted to all the boys and she is mother to ali without being partial to any. On Sunday afternoon we went up to the Cathedral for the service so Bob had a chance to hear the organ and actually to see the choir march although it was not choir of boys but volunteer choir for the sum mer. Beginning next Sunday the boys will be in their places and from that time on you can think ot Bob as identified with the Cathe dral choir"

 NOW RAPIDLY
 LOSING POWER

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 12.-Hunger is rapidly hurrying the downfall of the Bolsheviki regime in Russia. The peasants of many districts are or ganized into armed bodies to resist the Soviet attempts to take their winters supply of grain.
 The political strife has given way to a fight for bread and terrible famine is in sight for the winter as the result of the wasting of valu- able time by the farmers, the de- struction of food by the Bolshe- wiki and the wholesale exporting of grains to the Germans.
