HEAVY DAMAGE
BY FOREST FIRES
Worst Ones Are Reported In Mon
tanaEvery Northwest State Is
Suffering Heavy Rain Is Only
Hope to Save Timber.
PORTLAND, Or., July 15. Unless
forest fires burning In Oregon, 'Wash
ington, Montana, Idnho r.nd British
Columbia today are extinguished
cither by the men battling against
them or by a Lcavy rain, timber es
timated to be worth hundreds of thou
sands of dollars will have been des
troyed. The worst fires are reported In Ida
ho and Montana.
According to Forest Supervisor
Welgle, of the Coeur d'Alene nation
al forest, seven big tires are play
ing havoc with some of the finest
pine In the state.
Worse in Idaho.
Big Rock In Idaho Is the scene of
the worst fire. Another almost as
extensive Is burning at Kelson's Sid
ing on the Coeur d'Alene river. Dud
ley and Pine Creek districts likewise
are fighting thes. North of Harri
son on Carlin bay a valuable tract ot
timber was destroyed. This fire Is
one of the few under control.
At Spirit Lake, Idaho, four square
miles of brush and timber are re
ported to have been burned. An
other destructive blaze is giving
trouble at Loon Lake and In the Col
villo valley.
Three in Montana.
In Montana three distinct fires are
playing havoc with timber on .Flat
kead Indian reservation. The gov
ernment has empowered the agent to
spend a sufficient sum of coney to
prevent the spread of the fire.
From Kallspell, Mont, comes a re
port of a great fire lnhe Flathead
Talley, which is beyond control of the
scores of fire fighters. A number
of Great Northern tie camps have
been destroyed alrer.dy and no hope
Is entertained of extinguishing the
fire until rain falls.
Fires are also doing much dam
age near Libby, Cyro, St. Regis and
Whlteflsh. The blaze at St. Regis al
ready has cleared a path a mile and
quarter wide. The timber in that
district Is dry on account of the ex
tended drouth and Is proving ex
cellent tinder to keep the glaze go
ing furiously.
Four cw Fires.
According to a report reaching
hero today, four new f'res have
sprung up in the Western Park In
Montana during the night.
Three hundred men a-e attempt
ing to hold the forest fire In the
Kootenai national reserve In check.
The flames continue to spread, how
ever, and a call for additional help
has been made.
Although forestry ofilclr.lc, assist
ed by losEors. settlers and private
employes of rallrords, mills and tim
ber companies, aie maklnj a valiant
fight, it Is admitted that the only
real hope of getting the fires under
control is a copious rainfall.
There is little indicatl u that any
rain will fall in the fire-swept regions
today or tomorrow.
Weather experts declare that rain
may not fall for a week or more.

"Taken nU'lrTall, the umierfaklnK
crading outfit In the field, the company
a contour map ot the valley showing the elovntlon of every tract. It Ib
proving the greatest individual enterprise in southern Oregon and ono
that will mean much to tho valley.
Fish Lake Company Organized in 1900.
It was In 1900 that tho Fish Lake Water company was organUed by
Holllstor, Cat., peoplo, Induced so to do by tho report ot V. T. McCray, who
had, as engineer, filed upon tho waters ot Fish Lake at tho southern base
of Mt. McLoughlln. Tho original members ot tho company were O. D.
Vincent. William Palmtag, J. II. Belser. C. B. Williams (since deceased),
Leon and Fred Williams, of Holllster, Cal., I. L. Hamilton and V. T. McCray,
M. Purdln and tho late Rutus Cox ot Medford.
Primary Object of the Company. j
The primary object of tho company, which is now being carried out bj j
the new owners, was to bring a canal around tno rooinuis so inai u -Uon
of tho valloy north of Talent might bo Irrigated. Thoy began work on
their canal In 1901 and In 1903 had completed 16 miles of ditch to the
j....,. ., fvr. irhiM, ninr. tho next vcar. they offered to dollver frco
to farmers beneath the ditch all the
met, residents claiming mat aiw "- w.-, --.
orchardlsts have become more or less educated, and over 60 miles of lat
erals have been constructed.
Realizing In 1907 that tho demand for water would bo much greater
In the next few years, ilr. McCray conceived tho Idea ot bringing the wa
ters of Four-Mile lake, lying on the east side ot the Cascade divide. By
bulldlag a dam of propably 40 feet high across a narrow gorge It was esti
mated that the water could be carried over a low place In the divide between
the two lakes and utilized to Increase the water supply for tho Rogue River
valley. The proper represenatlons wero made and the right to tho waters
of Four-Mile were assigned by tne government w m ru i ., ,.
which assures their successors of water In plenty for all time.
In tho passing of the Fish Lake company, a corporation which has
done much to develop the valley merges Into ono which may do even nioro
still It was necessary for the pioneer
afterward.
Statement to Water Users.,
For tho benefit of the water users In tho valley. Mr. Cummlngs, manager
of tho new company, has issued the following statement, which gives In a
concise form the purposes of tho new company, together with Its proposition
to the public:
"To the water users of the Rogue River vauey.
"The Rogue River Valley Canal company, a corporation duly Incorpo
rated under the laws of tho state ot Oregon, has completed survoys and
plans for the enlargement and extension of the Fish Lake Water company's
canals, which it has acquired.
"The project when completed will serve all that part of tho valley
Ivlng between the roothllls on both sides of Bear creek, from Talent on tho
south to Rogue river on the north a total area of approximately 55,000
acres.
..t i , ntnnnnv'e intpntlon to
struction already commenced, and to
made for Irrigation service at as early a date as possioie.
"Lands lying under the Hopkins canal can be supplied with water for
the season of 1911, and the company is now prepared to execute contracts
for perpetual water rights on any part of this area.
"That construction may not be delayed on canal lines yet to be built,
the company desires an expression from the land owners of tho valloy as to
their needs for water, and to this end will appreciate applications being made
so that requirements for construction may be anticipated.
"The cost of a perpetual water right will be $50 per acre, payable
one-fifth (1-5) In cash, the balance in four (4) annual Installments, bearing
six per cent interest.
"The annual maintenance charge for water delivery will be i- per
acre, per annum, payable at the company's office on or before January 1st
of tbe year In which service is required.
"Payments on both water rights and maintenance become due and
payable only after actual delivery of water to the land.

The polico admitted that they
"shadowed Crippen for several weeks
prior to the discovers' of the body,
but excuso their failure to keep him
under surveillance by saying they
had no authority to arrest him."
An inquest will bo held tomorrow.
It is believed that tho police have
sufficient evidenco to establish tho
identity of tho body or they would
not be willing to have an inquest at
this time.

NTO ACTION!
LONDON, July 15. Although
thoy anticipated some outcry over
tho alleged lack of respect for the
memory of tho Into King Edward, tho
Liberals nro preparing to force
Premier Asuuith into definite notion
respecting tho abolishment of tho
house of lords.
Tho progressive Liberals wore
waiting for a brief respite out of
respect of tho late king's memory,
but thoy cannot see tho necessity of
a continued truce.
The progressives lmvo tho support
of tho Irish nnd Labor league. Tho
fight for reforms in the house of
lords, therefore, will bo resumed at
tho autumn session of parliament,
and by January, it is predicted, an
other general election will ho called,
on the definite issuo of tho lords'
extermination.
REVISES HIS OPINION OE
Wllllntn P-Umtag of Holllstor, Cat.,
who has been 1 ere (or sovornl days In
coauectlon with passing of tho tltlo
ot tho Fish Lake company to tho
Rogue Rlvor Canal compniy, took a
trip over tho valley Thursday nnd
was Immencoly surprised nt what ho
saw.
"When I camo up from Holllstor,"
said Mr. Palming, "after an nbsonco
of sovornl years, I wns surprised at
tho great crowth of Medford, nnd
declared that tho town was growing
too fast for tho country surrounding.
Tho othor day I took an nutomobllo
rtdo through tho country and was
compelled to rovcrso my opinion.
When n German makes up his mind,
It usually stays made, but this tlmo
the arguments on tho othor nldo wore

Inclined to think now thnt tho town
