Detroit, June 22. - J rires in N orth

proportions by the gales of the last
two days, have destroyed at least
three villages, rendered hundreds
homeless, swept over thousands of
acres o f timber land and caused dam

Lelanau,
Charlevoix and O tsego have also suf
fered.
In many towns today lamps were
lighted, as the sun was obscured by
the heavy smoke.
The village o f Case, in Presque Isle
county, was destroyed today. A spe
cial train conveyed the homeless vil
lagers to Onoaway, where they were
sheltered tonight.
Legande, a little town in Cheboy
gan county, was also abandoned to
the flames tonight. Many women and
children were taken in wagons to In

, W hile a big fire at W olverine today
was being fought, a forest fire threat
ened another section of the village.
W hile the W olverine department was
engaged, a call for aid was received
from Rondeau, three miles north.
The firemen could not leave W o l
verine, and Rondeau was at the mercy
o f the flames. A hotel, several stores
and houses and the Michigap. Central
station were burned.
In Lelanau county a great fire raged
near Fouche. A ll night the glow of
the fire could be seen at Trayerse

Whirlwind o f Enthusiasm.
- Chicago, June 19.— For president of
the United States, William H. Taft, of
Ohio.
Taft on the first ballot, T a ft by 702
votes, Taft by the unanimous ehoiee of
the eonvention.
Such is the record o f the culminating
day of tho Republican national eonven
tion of 1908, effected amid scenes o f tu
multuous enthusiasm, and after a nerve-
racking continuous seasion lasting near
ly eight hours. With the president
named and the platform enunciated,
there remain* only the nomination for
vice-president to complete the momen
tous work. Last night the whole city
was given over to wild exultation in
honor o f the new candidate, whom
name goes echoing through the country.
The picture within the walls of tha
vast amphitheater as tha praaidential
candidate was named was oae truly
grand in it* magnitude. In front, to
the right and left, below and above,
the billowing sea of humanity, restless
after hours of waiting and stirred from
one emotion to another, was ip a fever
of expeetaney for the culminating vote.
The favorite eons o f other states had
keen named, save Knox and La Follatte,
and now on the rolleall came Ohio.
As the Buckeye atate was reached,
the tall, gaunt form of Theodore E.
Burton, with student-like faee and se
vere black, elerieal garb, advanced to
the platform to nominate Ohio’a candi
date. He «poke, fervently, with the
singing voice of an evangelist, which
»•ent ringing through the great building.
The close of his speech of nomination
was the signal for the long pent-up
feeling of the T a ft legions. Instantly
the Ohio delegates were on their feet,
other Taft states fallowing, while the
convention hosts in gallery and on floor
broke into a mad demonstration.
“ Taft, Taft, W. H. T a ft,” eame in a
roar from the Ohioans. Mogaphonea
seemed to apring from eoneealed plaeea
and swell the T a ft tumult into thunder.
A huge, blue silk banner bearing tha
familiar features of the statesman-sec
retary was swung before the delegates,
awakening a fresh whirlwind of en
thusiasm.
AH semblanee of order had been
abandoned, and the delegates were a
maelstrom of gesticulating men.' Tha
guidons of the states were matched
up by the T a ft enthusiast* or born»
under by the storm o f disorder. Tha
band was inaudible— a mere whisper
above the deafening volume o f sound.
For 10, 15, yes 20 minutes this uproar
was continued. I t was a repetition o f
the seene of Wedneaday, wheu the nemo
of Roosevelt brought the eonvention
into a frenzy. But there is a limit to*

California ’§ tribute to Taft was brief
and fervid. Now there was another
lull in the Taft movement, while tho
remaining candidates were placed in

The secretary was powerless to make
his call of states heard above the deaf

lowed up in the mad uproar. Gradu
ally, however, the curiosity o f the mul
titude conquered its enthusiasm and it
lapsed into silence to hear the result o f
the call. A hush of expeetaney hung
over the assembly as the eall proceeded.
Hasty summaries showed that T a ft
was far in advance. When New York
was reached the T a ft eolumn totaled
427. Ohio earried the T a ft total to
511, or 20 more than enough to nomi
nate. Still the eall went on until the
final result was announced by Chair

“ For Theodore Roosevelt, 3 votes;

Turpentine From Old Stumps.
Astoria.— Dr. Hawley, the govern
ment forestry expert, accompanied by
H. G. Van Dusen, made a trip to
the Walluaki district to examine some
land that had been logged off and wkieb
would be desirable farming land i f the
stumps could be removed at a reason
able expense. Dr. Hawley found one
stump, estimated to contain four cords,
including the roots, which he said
would contain at least $16 worth of
turpentine. Other stumps and roots in
the same neighborhood would develop
in proportion. The system used in pro
ducing this turpentine is a very simple
one, but to*be used to advantage there
must be sufficient stumps, in a vicinity
to warrant the establishment of a plant
as it would not be profitable to bring
the stumps and roots to a central plant.
Dr. Hawley will receive from the Wal-
luski in a few days samples of stumps
and roots with which he will make
careful tests at his laboratory at the
Clatsop mill.
