Oldfield covered the half mile in seventeen seconds flat and the mile in thirty-six seconds flat. The previ- eus records were held by Oldfield with the same car.

FIRES COVER LARGE AREA Apparently the Entire Northeastern Corner of Minnesota Is Alaze and the Smoke Hands Like a Fog Over Lake Superior—Situation Almost as Bad Along the Wisconsin Shore of the Lake. Duluth, May 12.—After an all night battle with the flames Grand Marais, ! the north shore village of 1,000 souls, is safe. A special dispatch by wire- and Marais states that the fe for the preszent. The op tor at Grand Marais was unable to send any details, as he was exhausted by his efforts to save the wireless station. village is The previous evening the wireless sent a mes- n stating that the fires were threatening the village and that the station itself was in dan- ger of being burned. He said that he was going out to help fight the fires and that if nothing more were heard from him the Duluth operator would know that the station had been de- stroyed. All night long the Duluth operator kept calling Grand Marais at intervals of half an hour, but no reply was re- ceived. About two years ago, when the dis- astrous forest fires which destroyed Chisholm swept Northern Minnesota, Grand Marais-'was threatened and for nearly a week the citizens, aided by the Minnesota naval reserves, fought back the fiames. At that time most of the heavy underbrush was burned out and it is not believed here that the flames would have much to feed upon. But what grass and underbrush there is is as dry as tinder and so are the buildings in Grand Marais. Fires Cover an Immense Area. Apparently the entire northeastern corner of Minnesota is ablaze. The smoke from the fires hangs over the lake like a fog and in spite of the clear, dry weather it is impossible to see more than a mile or two on the lake. The smoke in the woods is al- most stifling and fishermen who went out to the trout streams are returning with inflamed eyes and throats. They report that the animals are being driven out of the woods by the flames and are seeking the lake shore. All i along the lake fresh wolf and deer tracks are to be seen and the animals themselves are frequently sighted. There is no prospect of rain. The fires on the south shore seem to be almost as bad. Before the smoke grew so dense no less than twelve dis- tinet fires could be counted on the Wisconsin shore of the lake. The fires approach right to Duluth’s back door amnd in the suburbs of the city the owners of little truck gardens are fighting back the flames. WIND IS GROWING STRONGER Forest Fire Situation in Michigan More Serious, Houghton, Mich., May 12.—The sit- uwation with regard to the forest fires is little changed. Some-old fires have been quelled, but others were break- ing out in the new localities. No rain to speak of has fallen in this section in maore than a month and the brush is like tinder. The wind is blowing with increased velocity, making the work of fightinrz the flames more diffi- cult. Communication with I1’Anse, Bara- 8a, Alston and other places is cut off, the wires beirz down. Fishermen on- Keewenaw bay have left their nets and are fighting back the fire from their homes. A hundred lumbermen and mill hands of the Heb- ard Lumber company at Pequaming have been sent to fight the fire that is approaching the company’s property. Fire Line Constructed. Cass Lake, Minn,, May 12.—Flames are still raging in the forests, but after several hours’ hard fight by the forestry rangers and volunteers the fire line has been constructed around the fire’s path »nd indications are that the spread has been checked un- less the flames jump the line. The damage done to seedlings and home- steaders’ property is heavy. Wisconsin Town Narrowly Escapes. ‘Wausau, Wis.,, May 12.—Fire which started in Dr. Daniel’s barn at Mosinee from a forest fire, it is believed, swept away the postoffice, four stores and five residences, besides the mill and offices of the Joseph Desert Lumber company. ‘'he Wausau fire depart- ment fought the fire all night. Homesteaders Burned Out. Bayfield, Wis., May 12.—The forest 'fire west and north of here, which threatened many homes, is now under control, after a hard fight by the fire department and citizens. Several homesteaders on the Barroms, six miles south of Cornucepia, have lost their homes. — ————— AR A \peman s ¢ 14 e m—— ROOSEVELT VIEWS GERMAN SHAM BATTLE Rides With Emperor Over Ma- neuvering Field Berlin, May 12.—Colonel Roosevelt, in the company of Emperor William, witnessed a mimic battle in which 12,- 000 men of the German military en- gaged in the vicinity of Doeberitz. It had been feared that the former president would be obliged to forego this part of the entertainment planned for him because of the con- dition of his throat, which is still somewhat sensitive, but Professor Fraenkel, the throat specialist, made another examination and decided that Mr. Roosevelt would suffer-no incon- venience through being for a few hours in the open air. Immediately after breakfast Mr. Roosevelr, attended by Lieutenant Colonel von Koerner, motored to Doe- beritz, where he was joined by the emperor. The colonel wore a riding costume and was provided with a su- perb thoroughbred from the imperial stables. His majesty also took a mount and together they rode over the maneuvering field of some twenty square miles and observed the work- ing out of the army problem. The scene of the evolutions was admirably adapted to bring out the resources of officers and men. The topography was varied, open tracts being skirted with thick forests and broken by streams, rough elevations and swamps. LONG WAIT BEFORE THEM Number of Men in Line for Land Opening on June 20. Cass Lake, Minn., May 13.—Inspired by the news that lands would be opened for filing June 20 Joseph Beau- lieu, with a chair, some blankets and a few morsels of food, took a position in front of the land office door to await that date. He was joined in a few minutes by eight others, including George Ritchie, R. S. Barnum and Captain Wilson. All are determined to live by the door of the office day and night.
