R. Hamel and 3 for G. S. Chesterman. Asa conse- quence no business of any character could be transacted and the firms do- meeting of the city council last week, when he was instructed to make an investigation as to the amounts that had been paid to the various alder- men contrary to the charter which prohibits any alderman from taking contracts from the city or furnishing the city any supplies, etc., by an ad- dress made at the council meeting M onday evening. He said he had all and more than he could do in taking care of important litigation and other matters requiring his attention |, in the interests of the city, without making investigations which were prompted by spitework. He advised the council that if it was desired to dig up illegal bills that had been allowed, to appoint an auditing committeee to do the work. He did not believe that any claim was made that the bills paid hereto- fore to aldermen, or the bills held up at the last meeting, were fraudu- lent, but on the contrary that the city had value received for every bill rendered. His remarks were very pointed and as a result the bills for groceries for the poor furnished by a firm in which Alderman Hughes is Our Ice Service like our ice, gives universal satisfaction. ~Every custo- mer is pleased at receiving each day a full weight of hard, clean and clear water in the solid state.

Helena, Mont., Aug. 17.—Forest fires eontinue master of the situation 'n Western and Northwestern Montana. A report from Kalispell states that three companies of the Twenty-fiftth infantry have been ordered there and will immediately proceed to the Flat- head reservation and Glacier National park, where fires are raging beyond all control The situation in Glacier park is des- perate and more troops will be rushed in at once. There is a probability that the militia of Montana will be pressed into the fire fighting service in the event that sufficient regulars cannot be procured. A bad fire has broken out in the forests near Rorax, according to a re- port received by the forestry head- quarters, and Supervisor Koch will re- quest the immediate dispatch of sol diers to the scene as the blaze is as- suming formidable proportions. - A new fire near Adair, west of Mis- soula, caused the dispatch of a force of thirty-five men to that place. Rains in Western Montana helped the situa- tion and a strong breeze is believed to have resulted in little damage with the exception of fanning the Borax and Adair fires to greater intensity. RAINFALL WAS VERY LIGHT Fire Situation in Washington Shows No Improvement. Portland, Ore., Aug. 17.—American troops have invaded Canada, but thelr expedition was against a common foe, forest fires. Soldiers dispatched from the American Lake maneuvers to Re- public, Wash., followed the roundabout railroad route, passing throngh Cana- dian territory. Their destination was the Colvill reserve, where a line of fire fighters fifteen miles long is be- ing maintained. Several delays - have occurred in moving the soldiers, owing to the re- cent shipment of equipment from the forts. During this time millions of feet of timber have been destroyed. The fire situation was not improved materially by the light rain which fell in some sections. No new fires are reported to the forestry headquarters. BIG HOTEL IS THREATENED Fires May Destroy Hostelry on Shore _'of Lake Yellowstone. Livingston, Mont., Aug. 17.—The beautiful Colonial hotel, built on the shore of Lake Yellowstone, in Yellow- stone park, over 100 miles inland, at a great expense, is threatened by a flerce forest fire raging near the lake on Flat mountain. The flames. broke out during the night and troops from Fort Yellow- stone rushed to the scene. The fire is being closely guarded by soldiers. 1t 1s the largest yet in the park and the situation is considered serious.
