MANY HUNDREDS DEAD
f1r?8 Swept Through Forest With I
Such Speed That None Could K?c?pe,?Moid
Tlian Two Hundred
Persona Perish in Idaho Alone.?
Property Loss $20,000,000.
If the stories of men who returned
last Friday from the St. Joe country
are to be believed, the loss of life
along Big Creek, a tributary of the
St. Joe river, was appalling and the
dead in' Idaho alone will -number
more than 200, even if Ranger Halm
and his 84 men turn up, of which the
forest officer in Wallace is not hope+S
*ul.
All estimates of the financial loss'
eB place it at over $20,000,000, mostly
in timoer. Supervisor Weigle has
given hope for the safety of Ranger
Halm and 84 on the headwaters of
Wnncflr F\ A.
tne 01. juc mci. 0?_ _ .
Herns, at the head of a still larger
party on the St. Joe, is safe.
The loss of life occurred mostly
last Saturday and Sunday week, when
a gale fanned smouldering embers
into great fires and drove flames
through the mountain with the speed
of an express train, giving fire fighters
no chance to flee for their lives.
None of the town in Idaho and Montana
ie now in danger and the critical
period is passed.
With 8 6 employes of the forest
service known dead and grave fears
felt for a number of others who are
missing, headquarters of the Couor
<l'Alene forest service at Wallace,
Idaho, is anxiously awaiting news
from the relief expedition sent to
rescue Ranger Joseph B. Halm and
# 84 men who have not eince been
heard from when they were on the
headwaters of the St. Joe.

that 600 men were at work on Hi#
Creek last Sunday when the wind
blow flames through the canon. Apparently
truthful accounts of the loss
of 4 7 of the men were received Fri- !
day. These deaths should not be '
confused with the losses reported
from Avery.
Near Avery 47 bodies have been
found and 10 Japanese, four negro
soldiers and an unknown number of
S settlers are missing.
Sixty-five men, natives of the Mediterranean
country, arrived in Spokane
from Hig Creek and said 15 Ausy
trians and two American choppers
were burned to death last Saturday
week. From the story of the survivors
it appears that these victims
were working at a point farther up
the creek than the au Italians already
reported dead.
The Austrians were undertaking
to back fire but their work was so
unsuccessful that they were killed
by the fire they themselves had just
lighted which ran back on them and
drove them against a wall of flames
advancing from the opposite direction.
The towns along the line of the
Columbia and Puget Sound, a short
coal road, are in greater danger than
those along the Milwaukee line. The
t Columbia's agent at Tailor reported
Friday that the fire was within 7 00
yards of the town. He added:
"Two houses 011 the outskirts were
burned last night. Wind blowing
hard. When fires get into heavy
timber above hero nothing can save
the town. Worst is yet to come."
The Columbia & Puget Sound sent
a passenger train to Tailor Friday
might and is holding it there ready
to bring out the people. Tailor is a
town of 600 population.
Warden Simons received the following
telegram from Ranger Stone
at CVioncon, on the line of the Milk
waukee:
"The fire here is from one to three
miles wide. Need all the help I can ,
get. Can not keep fire back. Loss (
to personal property great and possibly
some lives lost." ,

one of the 30 men imprisoned in War

six perished, said Friday:
"There vere 75 of :?s under Ranfer

been there a short time, 3 0 ot -is

Pulaski told up to lie as close *o
the floor of the tunnel as we could,
! or close the wall. We tried to block
up the entrace of the tunnel with
blankets, but the fire burned them
off as fast as we put them up.
"The flames licked up 15 feet from
the mouth like a blast. T.he smoke
was suffocating.
"About an hour and a half after
we had been in the tunnel, Pulaski
lost consciousness.
"Two men who got scared rolled
around in the middle of the tunnel
instead of keeping by the edge or on
the floor and they died across my
knees.
"Nearly all of us during the six
nours were lying in water that dropped
from the roof and walls of the
tu nnel.
"When the fire finally passed and
the tunnel cleared a little nearly
half of us were unconscious. The
eyes of the others were gummed together
from smoke and tears so that
we could hardly open them. Five
were dead.
"We found a sixth man, burned !
to a crisp, but we don't kn >w what
became of the others. T.he two hoi- 1
sea were nearly suffocated and their
eyes were falling out of their heads. 1
We had to shoot them." '
George BIberon, owner of a mine
on Placer creek, southeast of YVal- 1
lace, who reached safety Friday, said 1
the number of dead would never be
known. He continued: <
"Harvey Bertram, a deputy rang- (
er, had nuch difliculty in holding all I
his half crazed men. Believing they (
were being trapped, one or two of
his party threatened to commit sul- 1
cide. At times Bartram was able

FISTOIS WERE DRAWN
i < >
\
And Things Looked Squally at One
Time, but Matter* Were Quieted
Down, and the Meeting Was Itesumed.?Lyon
Defended Himself.
Did Not liefer to Crews Again.
With the end of the campaign in
sight the lirst real excitement occurred
at Laurens on Friday. While
J. Fraser Lyon was addressing the
big crowd J. T. Crews, Henry Wright
and others mounted or tried to mount
the speaker's stand "to get Lyon.
Attempts were made to strike the attorney
general, none being successful.
For about five minutes the excitement
was intense.
Friends of Lyons and of the Crews
brothers crowded toward the stand.
Mr. Lyon had been speaking but a
few minutes when the trouble occurred.
'Mr. Lyon in opening his
speech told that he was "on Laurens
soil" to reply to an editorial in
the Laurensville Herald accusing
him of dishonesty. He went on to
say that he was prepared to prove
the editorial maliciously false in that
part referring to his character. He
charged W. T. Crews with being responsible
for this editorial.
While Mr. Lyon was speaking V.
T. Crews, his brother or some one
standing with the two men and their
friends near the speaker's stand
miIIpH * "ItfMifl r?t.h#?r loffprs "
Mr. Lyon replied, "1 am going to
read all about you."
J. T. Crews then leaped on the
stand with others, standing near.
Crews tried to strike Mr. Lyon, but
was caught before he could reach
him. Mr. Lyon was awaiting the
attack with fists clenched. Henry
Wright had not succeeded in mounting
the stand but cursed t lie at tor-,
ney general, who at once tried to
strike hint, but being unable to reach
him landed a kick in the neighborborhood
of tlie stomach.
IJy this time the whole grove was
in utter confusion. A few half drawn
revolvers were seen and tragedy
seemed imminent. People rushed on
t.hfl atii llrl Priuiulu nf t tw> f'ruii'j
thers tugging to join in the attack,
while friends of Mr. Lyon pushed
their way through the crowd to reach
his side.
Citizens and policemen mounted
lhe stand for a few moments vainly
sought to restore order. John I .
Holt, clerk of court and it. A. Cooper,
county chairman, implored the
urowd to return to their seats. The
ideas of these gentlemen finally
quelled the riotous attitude.
Mr. Bolt conferred with Mr. Lyon
ind announced that in order to inuire
a peaceful continuation of the
neeting Mr. Lyon had consented not.
:o make further allusions to YV. 'i.
Llrews. As 'Mr. Lyon renewed his
ipeech cheers for Lyon and Crews
were given.
By this time the crowd was seated
tnd the critical situation in a great
sense relieved, serious trouble having
been averted by the quick action
>f Messrs. Bolt, Cooper, and others.
\ policeman with his hand on his
revolver took his seat on the steps
)f the stand and there remained unit
Mr. Lyon concluded his speech.
Mr. Lyon, resuming his speech,
jaid he had stood for his personal
lonor when it was assailed and would
continue to do so. lie said he was
speaking to the honest people of
I/aureus and expected them to hear
iim. He said he had been attorney
general for four years and would he
or two more.
A voice from the crowd cried, "Not
f you have anybody running against
i'ou." He then told how he had
served South Carolina as attorney
general. He made no reference to
Ovans ;n his speech. Closing, lie
.aid he expected the support of the
>est people of Laurens. He was
heered by many while speaking and
vas heartily cheered and applauded
vhen .he closed.
R. M. Evans opened his speech by
ailine Mr. Lvnn 11:1 ?ipm li*? ni'olmhiv
uis not used heretofore when Mr.

rlr. Lvon was "an infamous liar" the

ntended to resent it. Mr. Cooper
egged Mr. Lyon not to do so an I
hen told ESvans he would have to <

HELPED THE TRUST
WHAT A DKMOCItAT SAYS ABOUT
DUTY OS LUMBER.
Says It Kobs the People of Many
Millions of Dollars and Returns
Them Very Little.
To the Editor of The State:
As the Denver platform declared
for lumber to go on the free list
really should any Democrat back the
niirtv nlntfnrm? If fhp I)pnmcr:it?
the next house or the next president
it will be due largely to the votes
cast for protection on different articles
by Democratic senators and
representatives. A vote for one cent
or one dollar duty on lumber is indorsing
the Republican policy of protection
and the Republicans will use
it with deadly effect in close States
and districts.
How any Democrat who pledges
himself to abide by the platform of
the party can back w.herever he sees
tit is beyond my comprehension. For
thirty years the Democracy has contended
for free lumber. The Mills
bill more than 20 years ago contained
a provision for free trade in lumber.
The Wilson act contained a free
lumber clause in 1 804. The Payne
Dill reduced the tariff from $2 to
$1 per thousand.
senator Aictricn and tits band of
robbers restored the duty to $1.50
per thousand. This rate was reduced
in conference to $1.25 on rough
lumber. In addition to that there
will be a maximum duty of 25 per
cent, ad valorem added. So instead
of the people not feeling this burdensome
tax it only puts into the treasury
about two million dollars at a
cost of $120,000,000 to the American
people.
More than 7 0 per cent, of the timber
in the South is owned by 11011
resident corporations and stockholders.
Three-fourths of the timber
supply of our country is on the Pacific
coast and we must in a few
short years go t.here for our supply
and only to face the lumber monopolies
there. If we forego the $2,000,00
of revenue we relieve the tax burdened
people of more than $118,000,000.
Lumber, like salt, is a prime necessity
of life and should be on the
free list. Instead of passing a New
England scheme to pay for their old
worn out lands known as the Appalachain
park bill, let the duty be
be taken oil of lumber and then we
will be able to obtain this necessity
free of duty and muc.li cheaper to
the consumer from Canada, British
Columbia and Mexico.
if the removal of the tax voted on
lumber will not reduce the price then
i mo *i.zd mx noes not uenenr tne
consumer. Then why impose the
tax? Why were the lumber lords
moving Heaven and earth for this
tax? They cared nothing about the
little $2,000,000 revenue, but were
looking after that $1 20,000,000 for
their own pockets, which the Aldrich
tariff gives them. Democrat.

COTTON SOARING
Aagast Ceatrads Reached Highest Figare
Siace Cifil War*
MARKET FLUCTUATION
Highest Figure I touched Was Twenty
Cent.**. JRIO.DO a Hale Cain Over
Saturday.?Hulls Willing to Sell
at that Figure and Market Drops
Hack to Kighteen and a Half.
Sensational as the fluctuations in
the cotton market have been previously
during the progress of the
bull campaign, which started last
winter, they faded into insignificance
when compared with the big jump
in the price of August contracts Monday
morning. Closing Saturday at
16.82, after having sold at 16.07 on
Friday morning, the first sale of August
that morning was at 16.95 and
inside of half an .hour the shorts were
trying to buy at 19 cents a pound, or
21 S points $10.90 per bale over Saturday's
close and at the highest figure
reached since the Civil war.
There were frequently 25 and 50
points between sales and only five
transactions occured on the advance
from 18 to 19 cents, while shortly
after that the price was forced up
to 20 cents per pound, nearly $16
per bale above the closing figure of
Saturday, and 245 points above the
highest price reached by any contract
during the famous bull season
of 1902-04. At this price W, H.
Brown, the floor leader of the bull
party offered to sell 100,000 bales
August. This relieved the strain
under which the market had been
laboring all tbe morning and at the
same time seemed to set a limit to
the advance. Several of the big
local spot people sold when they
found that the bulls were willing to
give the shorts at 2 0 cents a pound
and the price dropped back to 18.20
almost as rapidly as it had advanced
earlier in the day.

GUNS TURNED ON TAFT
L\ FOIilJSTTE DIKKCT8 FIRE AT
THE PRESIDENT.
Iliff Bill's Attempts at Keeoncilijitioa
With the Insurgents Seem 10 Be
of No Avail.
President Taft cuddling up to the
insurgent Republicans has met with
a rather cold reception at the hauds
of the LaKollette hosts, who are
readers of LaFollefte's weekly. Sal
uraay s issue or tnat magazine contains
a scathing attack on the president
in its editorial column"
After referring 10 the fact that
the president is reported to be working
on a letter to be published in
the Republican campaign textbook,
to counteract the influence of the
VYinono speech, which riled the insurgents.
the article continues:
"It is stated that 'there is ao desire
on his part to read any person
out of tjie party.' What has happened
since the president left Washington
for Beverly? At that time
Republican senators and representatives
were denounced as 'pirates' at
the White House because they had
voted against the tariff revision upward,
and refused to swallow a bad
railway bill on the recommendation
of the president that it was good.
"It is scarcely four months sinie
Mr. Taft dispatched Wickersham to
Chicago to deliver a speech reading
the progressives out of t.he party.
That speech was approved by Mr.
Taft.
"Not later than June, James
Schoolcraft Sherman, vice president
by grace of Cannon, journeyed to
Milwaukee to address a Tory assemblage
convened for the sole purpose
of perfecting an organization to defeat
the progressive Wisconsin senator
and representatives. Vice President
Sherman stated that he was
there at President Taft's request.'
Mr. Taft's interest was still further
shown by his sending a telegram of
congratulation which was read at the
meeting.
"We have not complained that the
president and the vice president are
taking part in the campaign against
progressive Republicans. We have
made no protest against the hothouse
politics played by the administration
with federal patronage since
the vote on the tariff bill.
"LaFollette does protest against
the dishonesty and cowardice back
of such dispatches as the one above
quoted from Beverly. Lei the truth
be plainly stated. Let the president
stand out in the open. The administration
has presumed to read Republicans
out of the party for voting
their honest convictions on legislation.
The president is directly taking
part in State tights involving t.he
election of Republican senators and
representatives.
"These are facts."
There doesn't seem to be much
chance for harmony between factions
that get as wide apart as the LaKollette
followers and the Taft followers
seem to be.
