FOREST FIRE
FIGHTERS STILL
WAGE BATTLE
Situation Continues TO be Crit
ical and Hinges on Change
In Wind
PROTECT SETTLEMENTS
Reach Such Magnitude That
Rangers Devote Energies
To Populated Areas

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. Dawn to-
day again disclosed the forest fire
fighters in northern Minnesota des-
perately waging their battle with
the flames in their effort to hold
them in check. While the fires are
said to be not out of control at any
point where they are burning, the
situation continues critical and a
change in the direction Of the wind
accompanied by an increase IN velo-
city might cause a holacust.
Efforts are being made to steer
the combined Ellsmere and White
face fires into the territory burn
ed over by the old Markham fire,
which it is believed would give the
foresters an advantage.
Fires have reached such mag
nitude, the forestry service an
nounced that little can be done ex-
cept to guide them around settle
ments and where possible onto
areas already burned over.
Deputy sheriffs and representa-
tives from the county engineers Of
flee have taken charge O.: roads in
the fire zone and at intervals are
guiding automobiles through the
dense smoke.

FOREST FIRE
CLOUDS HANG
OYER THE CITY
Unusually Warm Weather for
October Is Reported by
The Weather Bureau

Peculiar appearance of the sun,
a haze hanging over the city and
the unusually warm first day OF
October kept the weather bureau
busy today answering ques' ions.
The misty atmosphere was
in part an Indian summer haze
smoke waiting from the forest
fire regions of Minnesota formed
into clouds which was responsible
for the overcast appearance of the
sky and the dull red of the sun
in the early morning, according to
0. w. Roberts, weather observer.
Particles of smoke from the forest
fires form into low-lying clouds,
Mr.. Roberts said. Recently sim
liar condition was caused by smoke
from forest fires in Idaho.
Sunday, October /, was real
summer day. The thermometer
touched 81 at it's peak, a mark
equalled only twice before in Oc-
tober in the 4S years history of the
weather bureau. The mercury
went this high in 1910 and in 1920.
Weather records do not indicate
that the present stretch Of warm
weather is anything unusual, ex-
cept that the rainfall is consider
ably below normal.
Following the recent wet spell
which delayed threshing for sew
eral days, the dry weather has been
pleasing to many trainers which
grain not ,threshed yet. It has
made fall plowing more difficult.
Estimates of the amount of grain
remaining to be threshed vary
somewhat. Not more than half of
the grain has been threshed in the
western part of the state, accord
ing to number of persons who
have travelled extensively over the
territory. Lack of threshing ma
chine capacity and lack of farm
help are among the causes, while
elevators in many towns are re-
ported already jammed to the limit
with grain and some are having
difficulty in getting enough cars
to ship grain to the Twin Cities
and Duluth.

YOUNG
BISMARCK MAN
PASSES AWAY
Sherman Knauss Succumbs to
Illness Which He Fought
For Several Months

Sherman Knauss, we'll known
young man of the city, passed away
in local hospital Sunday evening
after an illness which extended over
a period of many months. Death was
due to complications arising from
heart and kidney trouble.
Herman was 27 yeaW old having
been born in Garner, Ia, April 8,
1895. Not long after this his par
ents moved to Syracuse, N. Y, where
Sherman entered the public schools.
In 1902, he came With his parents
to Bismarck, completing his school
courses here as graduate of the
Bismarck high school. ..,
Z, During the summer months Sher-
man worked in the Office of the Bis
marck Tribune, learning the trade.
He was. an earnest worker and be-
came an experienced printer and val
ued employe of The Tribune. He
became a member Of the printers
union. In 1920, seeking broader ex-
perience, he went to Fargo, work ked
for a time on the Forum as a limo
type operator and the following year
went to Billings, Mont, in the en-
ployment of the Billing; Gazette
There he met j. E. Clavadetcher, a
native of Switzerland and former
member of the Minneapolis SYM
phony orchestra, under whose tutor
ship he became q-<e proficient as

in failing health he was advised to
rest. When his condition did not i'm.
prove he was taken to the Bismarck
hospital where he remained for about
two months, but the best medical aid
failed to restore his health.
Sherman became intensely inter-
ested in his musical work, and dur
ing his illness; he often spoke Of his
aspirations and his desire to continue
his studies on his recovery. He re-
tained his cheerfulness and conf
dence all during this time. In his
