FOREST FIRES BLAZE
THROUGHOUT UPPER
MICHIGAN PENINSULA
Valuable Timber Being Burned
Near Newberry and BIazes
Show in so Sections

Newberry, Mich, Aug. l3.-R-
Flares of new forest fires dappled the
smoke covered upper Michigan pe1in-
sula today as scores of blazes threat
ened to spred to virgin timber.
The fire front shifted from Me-
nominee county where 20 fires burn
ed, to strong 285 miles east of here,
where a new blaze toppled hardwood
trees a short distance from the town.
This blaze was the first reported in
valuable timber land. More than so
fires throughout Michigan were con-
fined to cut-over, marsh and brush
lands.
Blessed by moderated winds, towns
and cities were not in immediate dan
ger, but fire wardens were frankly
worried. Unless rain fell, and soon,
they said, the peninsula would be
swept II the winds were strong.
George Grasby. so. living near
Ralph. was the first known victim of
the fires. He was believed to have
suffocated while carrying water to
extinguish a fire near his cabin.
A fire continued to shoulder just
outside the city of Menominee. Of
ficials said 1t would burn harmlessly
for days unless a sudden west wind
hurled flames into the city.
Several fires burned across the line
In Wisconsin. Most of them were In
brush and slashings and considered
under control. Fire officials of both
states agreed that conditions approx
mated those Of 1910, when heavy for
est fire losses were traced to TIA
drought and drying up of water holes.

HOOVER Still HOPES

President Has Not Abandoned
Idea Of Journey, and May
Visit Texas

washington, Aug. 13.-R-Presi-
dent Hoover definitely has abandoned
plans for q trip this summer to the
national parks of the Rocky noun
tains. but the idea Of q western trip
before congress convenes In Deem
Der has not vanished entirely from
his mind.
In announcing cancellation Of the
trip because OF his intention to direct
drought relief, the chief executive left
the door open for a visit to this Sec
ton should conditions permit.
IT do not propose to go west" he
said, adding:
AT least not for the next month
or two"
Mr.. Hoover had promised Texas he
would visit there, il possible this year.
and under the initial itinerary
mapped out he had planned to go to
that state. In addition, he and his
advisers are anxious he shall have an
extended vacation before undertaking
the strain Of another session Of con-
gress.
However, all his plans are conting-
ent upon the conditions surrounding
his administration, including the
drought.
The president already has two def
mite trips before him. For Oct. Z he
has accepted an invitation to attend
the Kings Mountain battle arniver-
sary and In the same week has agreed
to address the American Legion con-
vention In Boston.
He has before him also the POSSIBLE
ity of q Caribbean trip that would in
clude Mexico, Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Virgin Islands.

Washington, Aug. 13.-P>NAn i'm
mediate fifty per cent slash in rail-
road freight rates on hay, feed, water
and livestock in the drought areas,
stood out today as the first large scale
action for relief Of parched agricul-
tural lands.
Government relief plans meanwhile
marked time until tomorrow's confer
of gocernors. President Hoover
wants their suggestions and plans
before proceeding with any broad re-
lief measures. An idea of what line
the governors recommendations may
take came in dispatches from CAPT.
tails Of some Of the affected states.
Governor Hammill Of Iowa, leaving
Des MoineS for Washington, said he
favored immediate aid to the farmers
in need, together with arrangements
through the farm board for seed for
next years planting, and financing by
the board of q transfer of grains from
surplus sections to the drought areas.
In Kentucky, the agricu ] t r
branch Of the State Bankers aSsocia-
ton formed later with Governor
Sampson a plan based on underwrit-
ing the tax bills Of drought-suffering
farmers through federal assistance.
No Rains In Sight
Expectations Of relief continued
concentrated on government agencies,
a. weather forecasts promised no
soaking rains. Railroad rate cuts
have been worked out between the
roads and the department of agricul-
ture with a safeguarding arrange
mert by which farmers applications
for special rates will be- certified to
railroad officials by county agricul-
tural agents. This was done In hope
of preventing speculative use Of the
emergency schedules.
The low rate is to go into effect
Immediately on roads operating to
and from drought areas north of the
Ohio and east Of the Mississippi rivers
Within a day OF two they are expected
to be extended to the remainder OF
the dry regions.
Apart from the apparently growing
need Of many farmers for assistance
to tide them over the winter, consid-
cradle study vas being given to the
set up of machinery for giving the
sufferers a new start next spring, with
feed, supplies and the necessary fl
nancing to carry them through the
growing season.

Persistence Of Agent There Wins
in Struggle to Get Perma-
nent Well Sunk

Fort Yates, N. D., Aug. l3.-tR-A
fifty-year struggle with nature for
an adequate water supply on the
Standing Rock Reservation at Fort
Yates is being won.
E. D. Mossman, Indian agent on the
reservation, has sunk a huge well
which Is expected to furnish sufficient
water for the residents Of Fort Yates,
and to eliminate the hazard of
drought, always threatened by the
tickle Missouri river.
The Missouri "just won't behave"
say Fort Yates residents who have
seen the stream shift In its course
many times.
At present water Is obtained from
the Missouri, but the unruly river by
its misbehayior may cut off the vii
lage from Its water supply without as
much as a days notice.
Are Always Lucky
Providence has been kind" MI.
Mossman said in explaining the good
fortune the Fort has thus far exper-
fenced. When the river has shifted,
Providence seems to have always pro-
vided some side stream from which
we could draw water. But If w had
an adequate well, it would not be
necessary to depend entirely on the
whims Of the stream"
The new well, conceived by Mr..
Mossman, is the result of many years
work. Fifteen test holes were drilled
on the agency grounds before the
present site was selected.
In the past quick sand and mud
have been encountered In efforts to
drill a well, and 1t has been necessary
to resort again to the Missouri river
for water.
1.-THE new we'll is Is feet in dame
ter and will be, when completed,
about 10 feet deep. It is expected to
take several months before construc-
ton will be finished and a water sup
ply given, from the well to those lv.
ing at Fort Yates.
"Mossman's Folly" some people
were inclined to call the project when
the Indian agent set out to obtain .
reliable water supply for the Fort.
"Mossmans Monument" is now the
appelation given by many a the well
nears completion with indications It
will furnish q water supply for the
village for many years to come.
His Persistence Wins
Persistence on the part Of the In
dian agent led to the discovery Of the
well now being drilled. In the face
Of di~scouraging results. Mr.. Mossman
continued his efforts, convinced that
somewhere on the agency grounds q
well could be sunk to furnish suff1-
cient water for the village.
Indian laborers and well drillers
have been working far into the night.
Mr.. Mossman has not been content
to just supervise the project, but has
During his spare moments, Mr..
Mossman Is at the well, directing.
