Men Fought Stubbornly.

"At one time 1.S00 men. besides two
companies Of soldiers, were fighting
fires in the Occur d'Alene forest alone,
and large crews were fighting fires in
other parts of the northwestern forests.
The men fought stubbornly. working
day and night building trenches around
the fires and gradually confining them
to small srear.
"Ali fires seemed to be under control,
when on August 20 terrific hurricane
sprang up. sweeping all the separate
fires together and making a gigantic
wall Of flame many miles long. Many

that the British government for the

HISTORIC FOREST
FIRES RECALLED
Great Losses of Life and
Property Caused by
Some of Them.

In connection with the forest fires
| now raging in the northwestern
states. Henry S. Graves recalls some
! notable confiagrations of the past. A
! bulletin from the National Geographic
which follows:
There have been some great fires
which attained historic. Importance.
One OF these occurred in> New Bruns-
wick in the fall of 1925, on the Mira
michi river, during a season of great
drought. Within nine hours that fire
had burned over strip of forest
miles wide. destroying every living
thing in its path. One hundred and
sixty persons prished and nearly 1000
head of stock. Five hundred and
ninety, buildings were burned and
cluding Newcastle. Chatham and
Douglastown. 1t is related that even
great quantities Of fish in the river
were killed by the heat of the fire.
Great Fire in Wisconsin.
Another historic fire was that
which occurred in Wisconsin in the
fall of 1871. A single fire swept over
miles. 1t destroyed the town of Pesh-
tigo. and between 1900 and 1900 per-
sons perished. That same year the
damage by fire elsewhere in the coun-
try was enormous.
still another fire, which is remem-
which destroyed the town of Hinck-
ley. Mimi. in the fall of 1894. AS in
other cases of great fires. there was
a season of exceptional drought.
Many fires were constantly starting
during that fall, but there was no
effective effort to extinguish them.
Forest fires were so common that
danger until it was too late to meet
the situation.
"As often happens when there are
many fires burning under these con-
ditions and high wind springs up,
the different small fires were sud
denly merged, and great crown fire
resulted which swept over the town
of Hinckley and six other towns. en-
ttrely destroying them. killing 500
persons and making over 1000 more
entirely destitute. The estimated loss
in property by this fire was more
than $25,000.000.
The most recent great disaster

was the driest ever known in the
west particularly in northern Idaho
and northwestern Montana. On July

without rain, passed over the north

rangers put out nine fires set by

measures were taken to ext;nguish them.

owe Much to North America.

Sir Auckland Geddes was professor
of anatomy at McGill University, in
Toronto. Both of them acknowledge
a debt to the invigorating atmosphere
of the North American continent.
where Eric first worked as lumber
man, and later had his first railroad
ing lessons on the Baltimore and Ohio.
Sir Eric's first billet in the govern
ment service was for the organiza-
tion and management of the hundreds
of miles of railroad lines behind the
British army in France, which he
pulled out of something like chaos
where regular staff officers had left
it. Then he succeeded Arthur Balfour
at the head of the admiralty, at
time when there were complaints that
the navy was in the hands of a rather
hidebound board of admirals and
needed more ginger-which 1t got.

LONDON, August 5 Correspondence
of the Associated Press).-One of the
useful discoveries which the war has
given the British nation is the Geddes
family. Sir Eric Geddes. as minister
of ways and communications. and Sir
Auckland Geddes. as president of the
board of trade. are at the head of the
two foremost departments engaged
in the great work of reconstruction.
while their sister is commandant OF
the Woman's Royal Air Force. with a
semi-military organization of several
hundred under her control.
The Geddes brothers come from
Scotland, which Is apt to be guar
anty of success, and before the war
they were almost unknown beyond
the circles Of their own professions.
Sir Eric Geddes was a railroad man
ager, and railroad magnates do not
hold as large place in the public eye
in England as they do in America;
smaller than a bishop or a master OF
foxhounds. which last is about the
most purple pinnacle of distinction. !

GREATEST OF MOTHERS ON
 EARTH COMING
She Will Knock on the Door of all the Homes in Juneau and the
 Channel in Few Days

The greatest mother on earth vii knock on your door sometime nex week. Her name is Red Cross and her visit will be for the purpose ol adding your name to the roll oi honor that she is preparing and which will embrace the names of all friends of humanity. It will be a roll of patriotism, indicative of love for your fellowman and for your country.
 It will be- one year on November II since the armistice was signed and on that date 1t Is confidently ex pected that 20,000.0O0 of people in the United States will have an swered the third Red Cross roll call by paying one dolalr each to the noble cause and securing membership for the year 1920.
 While 1t Is hoped that the great permanent Red Cross work of the future will be wholly work of peace
 -that wars have ended for all time with the laying down of arms in the conflict which recently has convulsed the world~@it ufs important to, bear in mind that the obligations of the Am ericanl Red Cross respecting the care md coiafOrt of the country's. defend DTS is'Snot completed. The para mount duty. Of the Red Cross organ ,zation Is to maintain the service for fighting men at 100 per cent eff. ciency until there is no longer any call for it.
 Figures show that demobilization If the military forces of the govern ment has not decreased the demands on the Red Cross in important branches of effort affecting the well fare of the men in uniform. On the contrary, there has been greater vol ,lme of work in certain lines during the last few months than there was before demobilization began. Great increases are shown in the volume of personal service rendered, due to he growing knowledge among the men regarding the help that is theirs for the asking, as well as the mount. ng character of problems that seem Q arise on the personal side of the equation as the ranks are thinned n the camps and the ability to give fuller service through the experi- ,nce of the previous months and years.
 There still keeps up also the orig nal distinctive work in the camps md hospitals for the vigorous and he wounded and the convalescent. All of it is work that must continue until the last man has been mustered put and the last of the hospitals IS closed. f't fpc sf4
 Everybody who responds to the third Rod Cross roll call, November 2-11, therefore, will have a part in carrying to completion the tasks which were assumed when the United States engaged in the war. And no body ought to miss the chance oi enrolling through cue of the million volunteer workers who will attend to the signing up for the year 1920.
