WALLACE.-Forest fires are raging
all over the Northwest, with a very
serious one burning in the Silver King
GuIch. The recent rainfall in West.
ern Washington has modified the stu
alton there in most places where the
fire seemed to be about to get abso-
lutely beyond control. At Tillamook,
Oregon, j. r. Casperson was killed
hghting fire there, and several others
were taken to the. hospital to be treat
ed for injuries received while helping
to fight fires. Many of the firest in
Eastern Washington were caused by
lightning striking the trees, and the
fire soon gained Roadway owing to the
dry condition of the brush.
NEz PERCE.-A meat market and
drugstore were completely DESTROYED
by fire here recently, with an esti.
mated loss of $4,000, believed to have
been started from defective motor
wiring on the ice plant of the Cold
Storage Market. The fire department
did effective work in preventing the
first from spreading to nearby build
ings.
