Mr.. Wilson already-has familiarized

it reaches the stage of ratification.

MT. MADISON FORESTS
SAVED BY RAINFALL
Fires Destroy Thousands of
Acres Before Storm.

GoRHAM, N. H., Oct. S.--A heavy rain
that fell for two hours this afternoon
was believed to have saved the forests
Of Mount Madison. at the northwestern
end OF the Presidential Range, from de-
struction by fire that ragged through
out last night.
At daybreak every available man was
rushed to the burning area by Fire War
den f. c. Wood. but despite every ef-
fort the flames rapidly climbed the
mountain on the Randolph side and had
burned off thousands of acres of timber
when the storm came.
The fire station on the mountain re-
ported this evening that the fire was
then smoldering and that danger o.
further loss had been averted.
