, DESTRUCTIVE FOREST FIRES
I Forest fires have been raging in
. . .
the mountain districts of Washing
ton , Oregon , Montana and Id oho
fo : - several days , with an appalling
loss of life , and destruction to pro-
perty and timber that will reach
into the millions , while the suffer-
ing of the homeless and terror
stricken residents of the ill-fated
districts is beyond dcscri ption.
Fortunately a fall of snow in the
mountains and rains in the valleys
of Montana has doae much toward
bringing the forest fires under con-
trol , thus alleviating the suffering
to some extent of the thousands
who have been fleeing from the
I walls of flame and clouds of stif-
ling smoke that bore down upon
them and left only ruin and death
in its wake. Advices from the
stricken districts state that it is
the worst forest fire ever exper-
.
ienced in this country.
Valentine people had an inkling
of what conditions must be in that
far distant deTSsTated section.
Monday and Taesday the wind
beng ; from the north and west
the sky was clouded until at times
the sun was entirely hid from
view , and when the sun was visi-
ble it appeared like ] a big round
ball of fire , while the air seemed
impregnated with a fine dust that
choked and stifled and irritated the
throat to a most uncomfortable de-
gree. Many complaiuecj of head-
ache , and the smoke was so , , dense
that one could see . only a short
distance. Think of what the suf-
fering must have been out there ,
hundreds of miles distant , where
a thick pall of smoke still hangs
over the cities and valleys.
Days and weeks will elapse be-
fore anything like a complete es
timate of the fatalities is availa-
ble. Besides the scores of resi-
dents of the mountain districts
that are known to have perished
hundreds of rescuers can not be
accounted for.
Three hundred fire fighters of a
total force of GOO , which had been
battling the flames in the burning
white pine forest of Northern
Idaho , are thought to have per-
ished as all efforts to locate them
have been without success.
In a tunnel of the Old War Ea-
gle mine on Placer creek , seven
miles fromYal1ace , forty-one
men under Forest Ranger Pulaski
were packed } tightly together to
escape a sheet of flame that swept
down the gulch. They hugged the
ground and buried their faces in
the mud in the flood of the tunnel
until the fire went by , when , half
mad from the heat , they threw
themselves into the cr ek. Five
were left dead in the tunnel , and
another cut off from the crew was
Pound ' burned to a cinder. .
Incendiarism is now believed to
be responsible in large measure
for the spread of the forest fires
and forest rangers are now en-
gaged in rounding up definite evi-
dence.

Get Your Trees Ready
for Winter.
Stop cultivating : deep Let them
shed their leaves and ripen up their
wood bv only keeping dust on top of
ground to retain moi&ture in ground ,
and on town lots where trees are
watered gradually reduce amount of
water. A tree needs moist ground
during fall and winter. . If town lot
trees need water later water them at
freezing up time for their winter use.
We have all the varieties of Cher-
ry , Plum , Apple and Forest and
Shade Trees , Evergreer-s. Small Fruit
Shrub , Ro , ; ; es and other ornamentals.
GET THE CHEAPEST for a long
time usefulness. A TREE IS A PER-
MANENT INVESTMENT. Get trees
grown nearest home. They are ac
climated and grown under same con
ditions you want them to gro ! " T , con-I
where they can be had the quickest.

From all reports crops are as
good down here in the sand hills i
as in the farming localities. We ]
can beat other places in ranch land
and equal them in crops in quality
although not in acreage , for cattle
pay better.
Charlie Blair , who had sach a i
bad attack of heart trouble and
acute rheumatism in June , has
been able to ride around some the

A hail storm skipped around
among us August 10 , doing but
little damage until it struck the
Snake. Grandma Tong's garden
is said to be ruined and at the
. Overton ranch vegetation was beat
into the ground. It reached past
Speck's ranch and Gypsy valley.

grade last year.
Mr. Liptrap , of Gordon , hauled
goods near Speck's ranch for a
gentleman from Wyoming who is
moving on a claim. He has known
this country for several years but
has traveled over several states
trying to find better land , but has
decided , all things considered , this
is the best.
