Thompson Falls, St. Regis and
Maiden in Great Danger
From Forest Fires.
SITUATION IS MUCH WORSE
Seems Impossible to Check Spread of
Flames Situation Also Critical
in IdahO-A Number of
Narrow Escapes.

Missoula, July 22.-Forest fires in
district No. l., which have been part
ly subdued during the past few days
are springing to new life and reports
came to the headquarters here tonight
that the flames are creeping danger
ously close to Thompson Falls, capital
of Sanders county, and St. Regis, a
small town in the western end of Min
eral county. High winds would prob
ably result in the destruction of both
places.
The Thompson Falls fire is within a
mile and quarter of the town. Resi-
dents of the place are out fighting
the flames tonight in cooperation with
the forest service men. Supervisor Ba-
ker reported to the local offices that
the fire would probably be checked if
the weather remained favorable.
Near Henderson.
The Henderson fire, which has been
raging for several days in the Lolo
national forest had advanced to with
in two miles of the town and as a
matter of precaution back-firing" has
been started. St. Regis at the pres
ent time is directly in the path of the
flames. This town was threatened
last week by the same fire. The Cole
creek fire near St. Regis has broker
beyond all control.
The supervisor of the Bitter Root
forest stated tonight that the fire or
the south fork of Hughes creek was
the worst in the reserve. 1t advanced
five miles today and the force of mer
fighting it will be. increased to 25 to-
morrow.
Assistant District Forester Glen A
Smith, who is in direct charge of fire
fighting in the district tonight made
public figures showing the cost O.
fighting fires in the national forests
of Montana and northern Idaho.
During the past ten days the for
est service has spent $4,000 and th'
estimate for the next ten days is tina
$24O,OOO will be used in fighting fire
Twenty-Five hundred men are nov
employed by the forest service il
fighting fires and this number will b'
increased to 5000 within the next fiv'
days.

STATE FAIR WILL Be
HELD DESPITE DROUGHT
Practically Every County in State
Will Be Represented with Com
prehensive Exhibits.

Despite the seriousness of the
drouth situation which is reaching a
crisis in some localities, practically
every county will be represented with
comprehensive exhibits at the state
fair, Sept. to 13, according to re-
ports received at the office of Secre-
tary Horace S. Ensign, who has COM
pletely canvassed the county advisory
members and superintendent in
charge of assembling the collective
county displays.
The general tenor of these reports,
summarized in a sentence, is that "It's
easy enough to make good showing
at the state fair when the year has
been good one for crops, but the
real test is in a year such as the pres
ent one has been; so we purpose show
ing the excellence of quality of the
states soil products at time when
quantity of yield is Disappointing"
While many near failures and in
some instances total failures have
been reported, a careful survey made
by F. E. Fuller, field agent in agron-
omy of the cooperative extension SER
vice in agricultural and home econom-
les, who has been collecting data for
the state fair, gives tone of optim-
ism to the prospects of demonstrate
ing that Montana can produce crops
worthy Of exhibition, even in the face
of the most adverse conditions record
ed in the agricultural history of the
state.
Every County Has Something.
"Although Montana as a whole will
not go much over one-fourth of a
crop" declared Field Agent Fuller,
81 have not been in a county where
there are not some good looking crops
o ia nature that would make any ex-
hibitor proud.
"Every farm will not have them,
but a little scouting around will en-
able practically every county to make
good showing; and the, tendency
generally is to stand by the state fair
to show what can be done in a bad
year. 1t is conceded that this year
more than ever the counties will be
judged by their competitive exhibits
and there is no section of Montana will
ling to admit it's total failure to pro-
duce a crop worthy of display at the
big exposition"
The cheerful note of Mr.. Fuller's
report is exemplified in the optimis-
tic rejoinder to his inquiry of GER

While the decision to cancel some
of the county fairs has been reached
by local directors on account of drouth
conditions, there have been no cancel
lations of space at the state fair. On
the contrary, requests have been made
for additional allotments by some of
the counties.

RAILROADS GRANT Low
RATES ON LIVESTOCK
FARE AND A THIRD FOR ROUND TRIP IS AUTHOR
lied ON SHIPMENTS OF MONTANA CAT
TIE TO FEEDING GROUNDS IN
OTHER STATES

Rates on shipments of Montana cat
tie to feeding grounds in other states
have been fixed at "a fare and
third" for the round trip, according
to telegram received by the Mon
tana railroad commission from F. D.
Turner, division freight and passenger
agent at Billings for the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railway. Half
rates on shipments of feed into Mon
tana have been granted. This decis-
ion was reached at conference of
officials of the United States rail-
road administration in Washington,
Mr.. Hunter said.
The reduced rate on cattle ship
ments applies only where the stock
is returned to the state. This is COW
cred in the arrangement whereby the
shipper pays the full rate on ship
ments from the state and will obtain
a one-third rate when he ships the
stock back. He must exhibit the or
iginal freight bill and make affidavit
that the animals to be returned are
the ones which We're shipped out for
feeding.
Sheep shipments will be handled on
the same basis as cattle, the following
excerpt from Mr.. Hunters telegram
to the commission covering the point:
Con cattle and sheep from points on
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and
c. B. & @. to points for feed, going
charges as fat cattle or sheep rate,
return movement one-third of going
rate where original freight bill is sur
rendered and affidavit furnished Of
same. Tariffs showing charges will
be published as soon as possible
A minimum of 20 cents per 100
pounds is placed on feed shipments
into the state under the half-rate plan.
Cotton seed cake in carloads will be
handled for so cents per 100 pounds
from Oklahoma and Texas to points
on the G. B.. & O., Mr.. Hunter said
and for 60 cents on the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific. This is little
more than half the regular rate.
Figures quoted by Mr.. Hunter are
for the c. B. & @. and connecting lines.
The same principle and percentages
will apply on all other lines, railway
officials assert.
Announcement of the rate reduc-
tion puts an end to great uncertainty
which has existed among stockmen
since agitation for consideration on ac-
count of the drouth situation was be-
gun. A straight half-rate on ship
ments out of the state to feeding
grounds was asked by stockmen at
the meeting held in Helena on Satur-
day, July IL, M. j. Gormley, assistant
regional director for the federal rail-
road administration, attended the
meeting and promised to use his in
fluence to aid the drouth victims.
