MONTANA TOWNS
APPEAR DOOMED
ST. REGIS AND STARR IN PATH
OF STILL UNcONQUERED
FOREST FIRES.
Congress Asked for Half Million DOL
lars to Fight the Flames.-Secre-
tary Lane has Authorized
Uses of $4,000.

Missoula, Mont.-Word has been re-
ceived from st. Regis to the effect that
only the wind can prevent that town
being swept by forest fires. The town
was saved Thursday only by sudden
change of wind. st. Regis has several
hundred inhabitants.
Stark, a village in the hills in this
county, also was threatened with de-
struction by fire.
Congress was asked Wednesday by
Secretary Lane for special appropri-
alton of 100000 for fight forest fires
in Montana, Idaho and Washington.
Latest reports from Idaho, he said.
declare the fires cannot be extin-
guished save by heavy rain, of which
there is no immediate prospect"
To meet the emergency, the secre-
tary was authorized the use of $4,000
appropriated for the land office field
service, but not intended for forest fire
lighting.
1.-THE latest word from our agents
in Idaho" wrote the secretary, lis
that all that can be done is to keep
the fires from spreading over a much
wider territory
Light rainfall and cloudy weather in
northern Idaho and western Montana
were helping crews of fire fighters to
hold in check numerous blazes in the
forests. Although nothing short of a
downpour will serve to stop altogether
the spread of the flames, few new fires
were reported, and il some sections
existing fires were reported well under
control.
The Pack river fire, the largest in
northern Idaho. continues to grow, and
was estimated to have covered more
than fifty square miles. The ranch
buildings of the James Carey, near Nc
Arthur, Idaho, were burned by this
fire, which jumped the control lines
in one place. New lines were being
established.
The Mission creek fire, which re
crossed the international boundary,
was reported as still burning in Can
ada, destroying valuable timber. 1t
was within a mile of the boundary.
but had not crossed to the American
side, it was stated.
The Round Top and the Boulder
creek fires in the Kaniksu forest were
still growing, and the Blue Lake fire,
In the same reserve, was burning In
good timber. Other fires in that vicin-
ity were quiet Friday. A new fire was
burning over twenty-five acres west of
Priest lake.
In the Occur dAlene forest, the Bear
creek fire was burning over 200 to
1900 acres Friday and was being
fought by 125 men, with fifty more be-
ing sent to help them. 1t broke con-
troll Friday and burned over 200 acres
additional since then. Because it is so
high in the hills it is not doing much
damage

March Says Army
of 100000 Need
in Peace Times

Washington, Nov. 25.-The opinion
of the army general staff and the
administration is that a peace time
army of 100000 men is the mini
mum necessary to care for the ma
tional interest, General March, chief
of staff, declared today, correcting
an Interpretation of his annual re-
port, published Sunday, which
placed the minimum at $50 900. Cen
eral March emphasized that he never
had changed his estimate of 100000
as the smallest upon which to rest
the military power Of the United
States.
In his report General March rec
commended one field army of five
corps skeletonized to so per cent of
its strength. Taking four divisions
OF 10000 men to a corps, such cal
culation would show about 526 900
men which skectonized to so per cent
of strength would make 100000 men.
General March, however, made it
plain today that he was basing his
estimate on the army crops as a
practical unit completely organized
with all it's clements for service.
With five corps on that basis would
mean an army in excess Of 900 900
men which skeletonized to so per
cent Of strength would make the ar
my of 100000, which the chief of
staff recommends.

May Reduce Rate
on Local First
Class Mail Matter

Washington, Nov. 25.-Postmaster
General Burleson has approved pend.
ing bills to reduce the rate of local
first class letter postage to a penny
an ounce. A letter for delivery
within the postal limits of the office
in which it is mailed would take a
one-cent stamp instead of two
cent stamp.
Mr.. Burlcson has advised congress-
men that the present two-cent charge
on that class of mail exceeds the cost
Of handling and that he recommends
the reduction because he believes the
postal service should not be con-
Quoted for profit.
