Thousands Are
Fighting Fires

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 5-From
the Rocky mountains in Montana to
the Columbia river in Washington
and up to 100 miles from the Cana
dian border, thousands of men are
fighting forest fires.
Particularly dry weather followed
by thunder storms has made the for-
est conditions critical. Lightning
has started more fires than the rain
has checked.
A fire in Kaniksu forest, eastern
Washington, last night had jumped
the Idaho line.
A fire in the hills at the head of
the st. Joe river is reported as as
cunning tremendous proportions but
is so inaccessible as to make fighting
il almost impracticable. Twenty
five other fires started by lightning
at the head of the Locksaw fork of
the Clearwater river have been re-
ported under control.
A fire on Marble creek in Idaho
has been burning two weeks but is
at last reported under control.
In Montana a fire has burned ov-
| er 1000 acres In the Blackfeet for
est in excellent stands of timber. AT
latest reports it was still spreading.

Pierre, Aug. 5-Should the bal
ance of South Dakota be in the same
position as to coal supply on hands
as are Ill out of 43O towns circular
lied by fuel administrator j. J. Muir
ply the state is in a serious condi-
tion from fuel standpoint for the
approaching winter.
The Ill TOWNS, which have sub
mitted reports to Administrator Muir
ply include population of 6S.636.
They declare that since April /,
about 28,774 tons of coal have been
received for all purposes whereas the
annual requirements, according to
their estimates, are 320,123 tons.
In case the reports from the rest
of the state are similar to those al
ready received, South Dakota has on
hand and received since April ]
about 266,885 tons of coal whereas
the annual fuel neds of the state on
the same ratio is 2,S06.124 tons.
This, of course, is a rough esti-
mate of the situation as it appears
today from the reports in the hands
of the state fuel administrator. II

SPENCER PERFECTs
FEDERAL MACHINERY
THE EXISTING EMERGENCY.

! Washington, ID. c., Aug. With
specific plans drawn up for distri-
button of coal during the existing
emergency, Fuel Distributor Spencer
was pressing the completion today of
the federal organization through
which, nthe final stage, distribu-
tion of the entire fuel output of
mines will be controlled.
AS formally announced with Sec
retary Hoover and the central COM
mittee appointed by the president,
the function of the federal organiZa-
tion will cover distribution among
the railways, federal institutions and
the states, with the governors of
states to handle local supply. AS a
guide in the ALLEGATION of supplies,
state fuel committees are to report
at once on the situation by the va
rious class of consumers in their ter
ritories, with list of those who
should receive priorities.
Detailed instructions drawn UP for
the state place financial responsible
ity for all coal shipped into a state
on the governors committee, which
also assumes, in each case, entire re-
sponsibility for distribution and pre-
vention of profiteering.
Control of fuel distribution to the
railroads will gradually be assumed
by special committee here of rep
resentatives from the different rail
way groups.

abandoning the office of state sher-
iff and the state constabulary, and
on moving the state university from
Vermilion to Sioux Falls.

not become laws unless indorsed by
the people.
Initiated measure No. / deals with
the construction of a state hydro
electric plant.
Measure No. 2 is an act to repeal
laws relating to the state sheriff.

state constabulary, the purpose of
which is to detect crime, apprehend
criminals, suppress riots, prevent af-
trays, and preserve and enforce law
and order.
Repeal of "blue laws" prohibiting
in which an admis-
sion fee is charged, is sought in the
third measure.
A state owned bank, somewhat
similar TO that in North Dakota, is
sought in the fourth measure, and
the fifth seeks to have the location
