Over 10000 Acres Devasted at
Kirk Fork on Amer
lean River.
1900 SHEEP BURNED
MANY Small Blazes are Detect
ed and Extinguished;
Serious Condition.

The forest fires throughout the dis
trict continue with unabated fury and
this week to add to the vast destruc-
ton Of timber, 1t Is stated that 1900
head of sheep belonging to Chas. Dun
ham, which were grazing on the re-
serve in the neighborhood of Gospel
Ridge, several miles beyond Adams
were burned. The first report that be-
came current here was to the effect
that Mr.. Dunham's band Of 1000 head
had been destroyed, but since that time
messages from Adams Camp state that
some few hundred have been located
and that l 200 had been lost. Mr.. Dun
ham went in to that section late last
week and has not been heard from re-
garding the matter
1t is said that Mr.. Dunham had an
aged man in charge of his flock and
that he was without dog Another
sheep man of the district happened by
his camp recently and told him that
the fire was getting pretty close and
that he had better be getting his sheep
out Instead of attempting to move
the herd it is said he deserted them.
The truth of the situation will not
be known until Mr.. Dunham returns
from the district 1t is needless to say
that his loss will be severe one.
Fire Conditions are Bad.
Throughout the entire district the
conditions are fierce. New fires are
occurring daily which in many in
stances are stamped out without much
damage. A new fire on Deer creek,
south of the Salmon river, is being
fought by the stocl1men of that Sec
tlon and now covers something like
200 acres.
The Gospel creek fire, despite the
Efforts of the men combating it, has
now burned over more than 1000 acres
and is still unchecked This is the
district where Chas. Dunham's sheep
were grazing. Two fires have been To-
Gated back Of Buffalo Hump and men
nave been sent i'm to hold them in
check. The Lightning ridge fire, across
he Clearwater from the Grange lille
Electric Light & Power Co.'s plant
covers an area of more than 1900 acres
ana while the timber being destroyed is
not OF SO much consequence there is
no telling where it win stop. Another
piaze at the mouth of Cougar creek
also covers lot of territory and burns
with unabated fury.
10000 Acres at Kinks Fork.
The big fire on Kirk Fork of Amer.
ican river now covers up to 10000
acres. This fire is not doing much
uamage having been brought under
control by the big crew. Another on
Little Elk covers 1000 acres. The
'eiway fire has got through to Mea
ow creek and Bargaman creek; there
are also two good sized fires south of
at the Meadows ON the Clearwater
near the McComas place, fire covers
patch of 100 acres or more.

Daniels Commends
Crew Of Destroyer
SHAW for Courage

Washington, May l5.-Secretary
Daniels has commended II members
of the crew of the destroyer Shaw
for their courage and devotion to
duty at the time of the collision be-
tween their vessel and the Cunrad
liner Aquitania last October 9, near
the English coast. Two officers and
10 men lost their lives in the acct
dent. .-.-
The Shaw was conveying the
Aquitania, and was zig-zagging. as
usual, when its steering gear be-
came disabled. Had it followed its
course it probably would have ram
med and sunk the Aquitania. Its
commanding officer ordered full
speed astern and thus so changed
the Shaw's course as to bring it
under the bow of the huge troop
ship.
Ninety feet of the Shaw's bow
was carried away in the collision,
but in spite of this, picked men OF
the crew got the vessel to port with
out assistance, but not until the
men repeatedly faced death in
fighting the ships magazine.
Led by the destroyer Kimberly.
the Shaw made Portland. England.
under its own steam, although the
floor of the engine room was flooded
and there was huge hole in the fire
room just aft of where the de-
stroyer had been cut in two.

Chicago Grain.

Chicago, May 5.-One of the severest
breaks ever witnessed in the corn market
took place today as result of definite
notice that the United States government
would import wheat from Canada and
that a downward revision of the cost of
foodstuffs was looked for. In few
minutes, the price of corn shriveled IL
cents a bushel. Violent reactions, how
ever. ensued. The market closed excited at
3 to Az cents net decline, with July,
$165A D1.65%, and September, $1,000
1907. Oats, IN to 2$ cents down. and
provisions varying from IL cents off to .
cents advance.
First reports about intentions of the
United States government regarding Can
adian wheat were exaggerated, and to this
fact was largely due the steep descent of
the corn market, as well the big re-
bound. The rumors which preceded au-
thoritative advices were to the effect that
all imports restriction on Canadian wheat
into the United States had been taken off.
Instantly, prices OF corn began TO drop a
cent at time, automatic stop-loss SELL
ing orders came into play on a huge scale,
and at the same time all support was tenn
porarily paralyZed. Then, the ruth be-
came better known that only moderate
importation of wheat from Canada had
been arranged for. and that no radical
revision of foodstuffs prices was expected
at present Before the sensational col
lapse, the corn market. influenced by con-
tinued weather, which made both hauling
and planting nearly impossible. had scared
to the highest prices yet this season.
Oats were swayed entirely by the wild
fluctua tions of corn.
In the face of the sensational downturn
in line with the hog market. All Of the
days advances in packing house prod
ucts, however, were virtually wiped out.
