Wundrede of Men Battling in Vain With Flamee—Great Damage Te Timber. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 25.—The fires near Looter Pen d’Oreille river are spreading to the Idaho side toward Priest Lake, covering a large territory and doing immense damage. The tim- ber of the Fidelity Lumber company of Newport, and the Panhandle Lum ber company of Spirit Lake is suffer. ing the greatest damage. The fire started in the vicinity of Ruby and Blue Slide. Hundreds of men are fighting the flames, but are making little headway. Supervisor Weigle, of the Couer d’Alene forest service, estimates that 1,500,000 feet of timber will be de stroyed. Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 25.—A steady dowspour of rain in the West Koote- may and Fernie districts all Sunday night is checking the forest fires. The fires, however, are still burning around Hosmer, Michel, Fernie, Coal Creek, Morrissey, Jaffray, Cranbrook, Moyle and Creston. The managers of the lumber com- panies are expending large sums of money in employing men to fight the fire which is a hard task as at times the wind blows a gale. There are cases where men have worked 18 hours without sleep or rest. The East Kootenay Lumber Com- pany, Vattsburg Lumber Company and Otis-Staples Lumber company have suffered heavy losses. Valuable timber south of Nakus on Arrow lake and in the vicinity of Granbrook has been destroyed. The chief sufferers are railway and lumber companies although numerous fruit ranchers throughout the country lost their residences and property. JEROME OUT FOR RE-ELECTION. District Attorney Will Run On Inde- pendent Ticket.

Last week it contained a Lengthy harangue about the county fair grounds, the aim evidently being to discredit its usefulness, and to reflections upon the county commissioners for expending money improve the grounds. But the grounds are here and have already been the means of doing more good to the entire county than forty Murray Taylors could do in forty years. cast to OO It was a pitiable and despicable scene that was presented yesterday | afternoon in court before Commission. er Pratt, when F. W. Hill, a minister of the gospel appeared in his own behalf as a_ pettifogger, attempt- ing to befog a witness that was not befogable. The cause of temperance will suffer for many years to come as a result of the things Hill has done. The advocates of law enforce- ment and the proper regulation of the saloon business will be met with a reference to the notorious Hill and his methods. It will serve as an unanswerable rebuke to those who would sincerely labor for true and much needed reform. The harm that has been already done will be hard to overcome in future years. Good Stretch of Country Road. Some time ago Lee Cochran and Len Hunter were awarded a contract to grub and clear three miles of? county road running west from the”? state road two miles north of Dee!
