that this will ba added to very ma

District ' Forecaatej Beats' reports that
tha rains have been almost wholly con

will ba tha means of checking to no
small extent the forest fires that have
been raging of late In certain localities.
"While the wet weather will dampen
the hay which haa been cut, the rains
have not been sufficiently heavy." aald
Mr. Beala thla morning, "to cauaa any
damage of consequence to ths . crop
The benefits from the showers will ba
greater than ths damage they cause.
They will help to extinguish tha forest
fires." ,
Tha Indications ara for ' fair ' and

Burckhardt - had a string tied to tha
resignation and ha has made a desperate
effort to retain his offloe. He appealed
to Senator-Mitchell to . help titan, but
tha senator refused to do so. Jack Mat
thews wss unable to keep fits lieuten

publicans of more -or less prominence
concluded, sfter Investigation, that ltJ
was best ' not . to, interfere. Sinos ths
county convention and ths Jime election
Burckhardt haa ceased to exert any In
fluence in Republican polltlca.
Burckhardt has told his friends that
ha la golng tnto tha "hotel business."
At ons time he hoped to secure the posi
