CHOAS RULES IN
MADRIZ CAPITAL
Government is Tottering and
People Panic-Stricken
Estrada Army Approaches and Lives
and Property of Americana
Are in Peril.
Washington— The provisional gov­
ernment o f Nicaragua is tottering to
its fall, the Madriz army is demoral­
ized, consternation reigns in Managua
and Dr. Madriz, his general-in-chief,
Toledo, and general Iriaa, are prepar­
ing to dee the country.
This, in effect, is the news received
by the State department from United
States Consul Olivares at Managua,
and these advices are confirmed by dis­
patches from Mr. Johnson, United
States consul at at Corinto.
The panic in the capital is threaten­
ing the lives and property o f Am eri­
cans. Crowds are reported traversing
the streets crying, “ Death to the
Americans.”
While the cruisers Vicksburg and
Yorktown are at Corinto and in close
touch with the situation, the legation
and consulates in Managua are under
heavy police guard and preparations
have been made to meet attacks on
American lives and property.
The situation grew out o f the victory
won Thursday by the revolutionists,
who defeated a strong column o f gov­
ernment troops and crossed the Tipi-
tapa river.
The removal o f the government army
seems complete. Mr. Olivares reports
that General Toledo, who was in com­
mand o f the Madriz troops, arrived
in Managua following his defeat and
announced that his force had been
Beized with panic and fled when at­
tacked. Soldiers made their escape to
Grenada while others continued their
flight to the capital.
Grenada appears to be at the mercy
o f an undiciplined mob of soldiers, who
are reported to be pillaging the houses
there.
It is added that the Gstradan force
is already at the gates of the city and
is preparing to take the place by as­
sault. From the evident demoralised
condition of the Madriz forces, observ­
ers believe that Granada will be taken
by Estrada with little trouble and the
way to the capital thus practically will
be clear.
It seems the unanimous opinion in
Managua, Mr. Olivares reports, that
the power o f Madriz is steadily weak­
ening and that his overthrow may be
momentarily expected.
The revolu­
tionary army is only 20 miles from the
capital and the capture of Managua is
looked upon as inevitable.
SH O W E RS Q UEN CH FIRES.
Weather Comes to Rescue o f Idaho
and Montana Forests.
Spokane, Aug. 24.— Ligh t rain be­
gan to fall this afternoon in Wallace
and other Coeur d’ Alene mining towns
that have been scorched or threatened
by the forest Ares, and the weary fire­
fighters took new hope. Nothing but
a heavy downpour w ill quench the
flames that are eating up the big trees
o f Northern Idaho, Northwestern Mon­
tana and Northeastern Washington,
however.
The Idaho m ilitia and United States
troops are on the way to do battle with
the red invader, but the soldiers can
accomplish little more than protection
o f the threatened towns.
Ranger Kottkey, who with 200 men
was reported as missing, is (unharmed.
He was never near Wallace, as report­
ed, but was near Adair, Idaho, on the
Milwaukee. He reached Missoula this
morning and reported his men safe, ex­
cept two packers.
Tonight he left
Missoula at the head ot a party which
went to search for missing fighters
along the line o f the Milwaukee, where
it is believed all will, in time, be lo-
crated.
Ranger Van Dyke, on Independence
creek, and Ranger Derrick, at Saltese,
Mont., both reported tonight. I t had
been feared that Van Dyke's crew of
75 men had been cut off.
The most sensational rumors o f loss
o f life continue to be circulated, but it
is impossible to verify them and it
seems likely that, aside from losses
among the national rangers, the num­
ber o f dead in the three states w ill not
exceed 100.
The known victims o f the forest fires
number 63, as follows:
In and near Wallace, Idaho, 38; in
and near Newport, Wash., 8; near St.
Joe, Idaho, 6 men, supposed to be for­
est rangers; at Saltese, MonL, 1.
The Idaho militiamen are on the
way from the encampment at A m eri­
can Lake, near Tacoma, to the Coeur
d’ Alenes.
President T a ft notified
Governor Brady today that he would
send to Idaho all the troops available,
but that United States soldiers could
not be used for police duty. Governor
Brady w ill go to the front tomorrow.
None o f the towns in Idaho are in im­
mediate danger, it is believed.

Boise, Idaho— The Grandview Land
& Irrigation company was declared
bankrupt by Judge Bryan, o f the
Seventh judicial district, court, sitting
at Caldwell. George F. Fenton was
appointed receiver, under $7,000 bonds.
He took immediate charge of the canal
system.
Complaint against the company was
filed by N. C. and Harriet J. Massey,
heavy land owners, who chrged that
the officers conspired to bankrupt the
settlers, that their orchards and crops
are ruined, owing to failure to deliver
water for irrigation, and that the
money paid the officers was used per­
sonally by them instead o f on the sys­
tem.

Santa Rosa — Horticulturists and
fruitgrowers are united in their praise
o f the two new varities o f peaches and
one o f plums producted by Luther Bur­
bank, the plant wizard. Crosses of
the Crawford and Muir species have
resulted in a fruit o f greater commer­
cial value. The Bartlett plum seed­
ling is also a betterment in shape, col­
or and preponderance of flesh over pit.
Most o f the juiciness and high color
o f the Crawford peach has been trans­
ferred by Burbank to the smaller and
firmer pit o f the Muir. The color-free
pit of the Muir is also retained. The
vigor and ability o f the new trees to
resist diseases is still another recom­
mendation o f the Burbank creations.
E. J. W'ickson, dean o f theycollege of

•That Town is Doomed.
News
Spokane, Aug. 24.— Passengers on a
Spokane Falls & Northern railroad
train which arrived here tonight re­
ported that when the train passed
through Clayton,
Stevens county,
Washington, this afternoon, a great
forest fire had almost reached the edge
of the town, which apparently was
doomed to destruction.
Clayton has several hundred inhabi­
tants and is the seat o f an important
sewerpipe industry.
Destruction of
the town would involve large financial
loss, but probably
no
casualties.
There is no way o f obtaining further
news, wire communication being cut
off.
Clover Creek, Ore.— The forest fire
which has been raging here for the
past week is still spreading and the
soldierB promised have not yet arrived,
and there are not men enough to con­
trol the flames.
The smoke is heavy and the heat is
something awful. Tne fire is running
to the north and east on the govern­
ment land and to the south on the pri­
vate holdings.
I t is being held in
check on the west by firefighters.
There are between BO and 60 men
fighting fire for the lumber companies.
Josephine Has Ten Fires.
Grants Pass, Ore., Aug. 24.— Ten
forest fires are burning in Josephine
county. The local forest officers are
working their men day and night.
The force has been doubled. Besides
these regular fire fighters farmers are
being drafted, while many whose prop­
erty is endangered are banding togetn-
er for the best protection that can be
had.
O f the ten burning districts, two
are taking on a serious aspect.
At
Six-M ile creek, the fire has spread over
a territory 15 miles square.
Coyote Bite; Then Rabies.
Asotin, Wash.— An unknown sheep-
herder was found along the Snake riv ­
er 20 miles from here in a very precar­
ious condition with rabies, resulting
from a bite o f a mad coyote.
The
sheepherder was coming down the r iv ­
er from the mountains where he had
been employed for several months. As
he was passing over a high rim rock,
he was confronted by a coyote, which,
when within a few feet made a spring,
burying its teeth deep into the flesh of
his body.
The herder has slight
chanec o f recovery.
Man, 80, Walks 1880 Miles.
Portland— Reaching here on the last
leg o f his journey half way across the
continent on foot, Anderson Love, 83
years of age, was picked up and cared
for by the police.
The octogenarian
started on his Western journey from
Minneapolis in March, soon after he
was compelled to abandon his employ­
ment in the flouring mills o f that city
because o f deafness. Having no living
relatives save a grandson on a ranch
near Roseburg, the aged man, desiring
to be with him, started to walk to his
destination with but $4 in his pockets.
Open Shop Mill Wrecked.
San Francisco— For the fourth time
within two years the mill o f the Pacific
Coast Mill & Lumber company, in Oak­
land, was wrecked Saturday night by
exploding dynamite. Two years ago
the company had a strike o f hands and
declared for the open shop, and since
then they have defied the labor anions.
This latest dynamiting was done by
men who knew just where the most
valuable machinery was located.
The
explosive was placed under this ma­
chinery and it was almost completely
wrecked.
Wind Storm Spreads Fire.
Walla Walla, Aug. 24— This section
tonight experienced one o f the worst
wind and dust storms of the year, the
storm having extended generally over
Southeastern Washington and North­
eastern Oregon, where forest fires are
raging in the Wenaha reserve. Thirty
men le ft Walla Walla for Elgin, Ore.,
in response to a call issued by Forester
J. M. Schmitz, and about 20 le ft in
automobiles to assist in controlling the
fire in the timber on Looking Glass
Canyon. Another large force will be
divided between Toll Gate and Elgin.
Forty Strikers Freed.
Loa Angeles, Cal.— Forty strikers,
charged with acting as pickets at the
Craig shipbuilding works. Long Beach,
were discharged from custody by or­
der of Judge Hart and the cases dis­

Eugene, Or., Aug. 25.— F ire swept
into the town o f Wendling from slash­
ings nearby early last night and wiped
out all but three houses. Heroic work
o f 150 employes saved the mills o f the
Booth-Kelly Lumber company.
When the flames entered the town,
the women and children were rushed to
Marcola, and later came into Eugene,
in charge o f A. C. Dixon, manager for
the company.
Telephone and telegraph wires be­
tween here and Wendling went down
early, but a courier arrived shortly be­
fore midnight with word that when he
le ft the burning town at 9 :30 the big
mills were in no immediate danger.
The mill men were then taking their
first rest in 48 hours.
The company
store was saved from the flames, but.
the bunkhouaes, church and school
house and all residences in the village
were licked up like so much tinder.
The fire started from slashings near
the town. Men had been fighting the
fire for two days, but, with the high
wind in the afternoon burning, brands
were swept over the heads o f the
firefighters and within an hour the
residence section of the town was in
ashes.
W hile the flames were in progress
75 loggers fought their way through
the burning district and assisted in
saving the mill property.
A telephone message from Hale at
9:45 last night brought the report
that the fire raging along the Wild Cat
and over the divide from Hale is not so
serious, but grave fears are enter­
tained i f the winds rise again.
Three families near Walton weie
driven out and their homes burned.
Those who lost their homes are A- E.
Whiteaker, W. W. Lyons and Julian
Davies.
Hale also reports a big fire over in
the Deadwood country, which destroy­
ed the home o f A. Almosi.
The stagedriver from Hale to Eu­
gene reports that the fire now raging
in that vicinity has a frontage o f eight
or ten miles. He does not think the
stage between Hale and Mapleton can
make the trip tomorrow.
Yacolt, Wash., Aug. 25.— Between
250 and 300 men, employes o f the
Twin Falls Logging company, o f Ya­
colt, are penned in behind a fire and
are unable to reach Yacolt.
Whether
or not any have met death is not
known. There is only one avenue of
escape. They can go down Fly creek
and reach Chelatchie prairie.

The fire on Fern Prairie last night
swept down on the little town of
Shanghai,
and at 9 o’clock eight
houses had been burned.
The North Bank mill has been
burned, with a loss o f about $11,000.
The fire has been burning all day in
the Weyerhaeuser timber.
A big fire on the L ittle Washougal
is raging five miles above La Camas,
and 50 men nave been sent from La
Camas to make a valiant fight to keep
it on the other side o f the stream. Re­
ports come in telling o f the burning of
grain fields and barns filled with hay
and grain.
Fletcher’s woods are on
fire.
Being caught in the fire, the fine
dairy herd o f Mr. Courter perished.
Mr. Courter had a good-sized herd and
it is said that all were burned to death.
Recause he finds no place In estab­
lished churches to preach the Gospel
message which he feels called upon to
deliver. Nathan B. Fry of Colville has
built a church of his own, the Colville
( ' ash.) correspondent for the Spo­
kane Spokesman Review writes.
It Is a wooden building 30x44 feet,
with 22-foot walls and will seat 300 or
400 people.
Every foot of lumber,
every sill and plate, every framed
door and window, every cedar shingle
was made and put In place by the
hands of Nathan B. Fry. without hu­
man assistance.
With his own hands and the crude
appliances of the backwoods, this de­
termined preacher split, trimmed and
put In place 11,844 cedar shingles, the
long, slender and handmade sort that
outlast two generations.
The preacher-hermit has arranged
the auditorium on an angle. As he
puts it, “ the sills are crooked, the
plate Is crooked and the floor Is
crooked." thus giving him a chance to
get his seats at obtuse angles to each
other and making every seat a good
seat from which to see the preacher
He Is making the seats with his
own hands, not according to any es
tabtlshed pattern, but on an original
scheme that Is saving of material and
yet simple of construction.
Nathan Fry Is preaching regularly
each Sunday even now, his audiences
being In the Indian settlements, mill
villages and backwoods towns.
The church Is nearly square Inside
the auditorium, as a portion of the
front of the building bad been used for
stairs, opposite which Mr. Fry has es­
tablished his living rooms. His bed Is
under the stairs on the second story.
There Is a touch of business sagac­
ity In these primitive arrangements,
which Is even more pronounced In the
plan for finishing off 12 rooms above
the auditorium, six on the second
story and six attic rooms for sleeping
chambers. These rooms he proposes
to rent to small families to support
himself and pay the expenses of run­
ning the church.
Women and Politics.
Mrs. Humphry Ward says the nor­
mal woman (and especially the mar­
ried woman) lives In Irreparable lg
r.orance of politics because she Is so
much engrossed In her own business.
Does Mrs. Humphry Ward really sup­
pose the normal man has no business
of his own, or spends all his time In
meditating on the principles of the
constitution? In fact, he has so much
business that he Is shrewdly tempted
to leave
politics to a professional
class— which Is notoriously the great
drawback and peril of modern democ­
racy. I think the enfranchisement of
women would, like proportional rep­
resentation, tend to counteract this
evil. Other good people say the nor­
mal woman must not have a vote be­
cause she cannot fight. This argu­
ment Is not only foolish, for several
reasons, but Insulting to all Infirm and
ancient men. What! shall I be de-
