RUSH CREWS To.
FIGHT 60O-ACRE.
FIRE ON FOREST.
Flames Sweep Large Area of
Grass and Brush Near
MS Road

Crews from every direction were
rushed by the U. S. forest service
Wednesday to fight a fire covering coo
acres of brush and grass in the vicinity
of Indian creek, in the southeast
corner of the Snake river division of
the Nezperce National forest. The fire
is near the North and South highway,
about eight miles south of Pollock.
Burning fiercefy, it is feared the
fire will soon reach valuable timber.
Ranger Rafferty,, of Council, and six
teen men were the first to reach the
fire, while Ranger Deasy, of higgins,
and twelve settlers have been dis
patched to fight the blaze. G. P.
Fickes, assistant supervisor of the
Nezperce forest, with headquarters in
Grangeville, gathered crew of ten
men in Grangeville and Whitebird,
Wednesday, and rushed with them to
the fire.
The fire started last Saturday, but
did not become serious until Tuesday.
Dryness of the brush in which the
fire started has permitted the flames
to spread rapidly. The fire is being
fought from three sides.

Richard F. Bicknell, former presi-
dent of the defunct Overland National
bank at Boise, has been arrested on
indictments returned by the federal
grand jury, charging him with misap-
plication of funds and the making of
false entries to the comptroller of the
currency.
Mr. Bicknell was bondsman for the
contractor on the Grangeville- White
bird link of the North and South
highway, and was eventually obliged
to virtually take over the contract.
He is reported to have lost much mon
ey on this enterprise. Mr. Bicknell
has visited Grangeville on several
occasions, and is known to many per-
sons here.
Mr.. Bicknell expressed surprise at
the return of the indictments, and said
he had '.lived in hopes' that he

Overland National to its depositors, -
He issued the following statement:
HE IS INUNDATED

The letter is as follows:
Dear Mr.. Nash:
Hon. G. G. Moore, Republican NOM

Governor Alexander to a discussion

been discussing the facts since the

Mr.. Alexander will speak in Pocatel-

very glad indeed to open negotiations
with your committee for a joint de-
bate between the two candidates at
such time and place. If this date is
not satisfactory, it is quite possible
that we could agree upon date that

cerned, but suggest that it should not
be delayed.
Thanking you in advance for re-
ply by return mail, 1 beg to remain,
Very sincerely yours,

DEFER STRIKE ACTION
Threatened Walkout Is Not

CHICAGO. July 2o.--William d. Mahon.
international president of the Amalga-
mated Street and Electric Railway
Workers Of America. will arrive In Chi
cago tomorrow to pass on the threat
ened street car and IL" strike.
Union officials announced that certain
provisions of their bylaws would so
operate as to make II highly improbable
that wallxout can be ordered at mid
night Sunday
Mr.. Mahon cannot himself authorize
strike cau but must have the con-
sent of majority Of the international
fexecutive board of ten.
While telegraph vote OF this commit
tee may be taken TO speed UP action, II
In believed that from one to several
days may elapse following decision to
apply for strike sanction before author
ity to order q walkout can be received.
Heads OF the local union have given a
pledge that the actual strike order. II
issued. will give twenty-four hours
warning before transportation is halted.
Possibility that another week might
pass before all the strike prcliminaries
required by the union rules can be car
ried out was seen by leaders familiar
with union procedure. Friends of the
city administration who have charged
a plan to time the tieup TO begin with
tho opening OF the Pageant of Progress

tion OF their claims. rx-f' 3.

coal famine Is imminent. he declared.
were outrageously misleading and were
working directly into tho hands OF the
strikers by creating false alarm. An
other dealer said:
II do not feel there Is any Immediate
danger. We arc not scraping our yards.
We have a months supply on hand for
our regular customers. BY the time that

The Brooklyn Chamber Of Commerce
In its official bulletin of July % will
print an analysis Of the coal situation
by Samuel Drummond, secretary OF the
Brooklyn Coal Exchange. Mr. Drum
mond says In part:
Brooklyn retail dealers handle ap-
proximately 100000 tons OF anthracite
a year; probably one-quarter OF that
quantity is now in storage in the bins
of householders. apartment houses. Of
flee buildings &C. so that II Is going TO
be necessary for them. in order that the
publics requirements may be met, to Sc
cure and deliver 100000 tons after the
time mining is resumed and before the
coal burning season Is over. This is
practically impossible and being so II
we have a severe winter we will have a
serious shortage and experience consid.

TO FREEZE OUT SHOPMEN

shipments were reported from various
road headquarters. the chief trouble be-
ing car shortage and inability TO get
back empties. This was particularly
true Of meat cars from Chicago and
other perishable products requiring
refrigerator cars. Representatives OF
the roads met with the New York MIX
Conference Board and found that milk
shipping conditions were encouraging
and "would not grow worse"
Delos w. Cooke. chairman OF the
transportation committee. of the Cham
ber of Commerce of the State of New
York, said the freight shipment situa-
ton had not yet required action by his
committee.
The central strike committee gave out
long list of train delays to challenge
the New York Central's report on de-
lays at Grand Central Terminal. The
strikers added that service was impaired
on the Pennsylvania.
Officials of the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford announced that they
had obtained from Judge Edward S.
Thomas OF the United States Circuit
Court in New Haven an order restrain
ing strikers or their agents from inter-
fering with its property or with en-
ployees, who had complained that their
homes and families had been threat
ened. The company said it's force OF
skilled mechanics was being augmented
steadily.
All of the principal roads touching
New York reported an Improvement in
conditions and that repair work. while
somewhat behind, was going on.
Few instances of violence were re-
ported. John Sprout, a Pennsylvania
shopman of Elizabeth. was attacked
and beaten by three thugs early in the
morning when he left the Waldo ave-
nue. yards of the Pennsylvania.
