At midnight over throe squaro miles of timber had been burned, and the fire was racing across the moun tainous country. Tho building of the Dalnatia Mining Company burned yesterday. When the laBt reports were recoived men were fighting to savo tho structures of the Nabob, Highland Chief and Little Pittsburg mines. A call has been Issued for availablo men to assist in an effort to check tho flames. A large number responded from Wallace and Kellogg and more bad planned to leave here today. It is recognized that unless thp fire is prevented from spreading that thfcre Is a possibility of this part of the Couer d'Alene mining district being denuded of its forests. Bottlers who lost their homes have congregated at Kellogg with such be longings as they were- able to carry when compelled to flee. It was reported that even flro fight ers woro hemmed In by flames.

' Mr. Lowis's thp' was In tho way of n tour of Inspection of tho var ious" Irrigation projects launch! under tho Carey Act. He covered In all about 1,000 miles, and half of which had to- bo made by stage. Tho trip proper began at Shanlko. and from there led to Lake View, and thon on clown to tho Warner Valloy; from there, to Klamath Falls, and to Weed, California, and then back to this olty. lib returned to tho city Saturday, and will loavo In tho near future again to mako an Insepctlon of the projects in Malheur ' county, I'rinvllle Ih Booming. "Prlnvlllo is experiencing remark able aotlvlty because of tho road's grant of 800,000 aoros," ho contin usd. - "There is much talk thoro of a branch railroad to be run up Crooked river, and everybody is op timistic and enthusiastic. "At Bend the railroad, Irrigation and timber activity, together with the water power development has caused a wonderful boom. About 45 miles south of Bend construction work Is under way for a 31,000-acre irrigation project of tho DesChutea Land Company. Heavy excavation machinery Is being assembled on tho ground. The proposed railroad runs through tho project and tho Nutron Klamath Falls road passes within a fow hundred feet of tho dam slto at Crescont Lake which will supply the wator for tho irrigation of tho pro ject. Transforming the Desert. "The greatest development work which I witnessed on tho trip was probably at Christmas Lako Valloy. For 20 or more miles along this desert work is in progress. Tho land Is being fenced and on every hand could bo seen the cabin of tho homostoader and tho once sagebrush plain is being rapidly transformed Into fertilo producing fields. "Tho state's 12,000-acre project at Palsly Is at a standstill because of tho water right difficulties. "A new 100,000-apro project is now under investigation in tho War ner Lake Valloy and the company Is under J7.000 to thoroughly inves tigate its feasablllty. This is ono of tho most beautiful tracts In tho stato for Irrigation and development, but it may not provo foosablo with out railroad transportation. For a dlstanca of 1C miles a 1000-second foot canal will havo to ho construct ed along an almost vertical cliff, and also a threo mllo dyko across h peat bog from 30 to 60 foot In hoight. Thoro are many alternate schemes and doubtloss many of the difficulties will bo overcome. Thirty thousand dollars havo already boon exponded in investigating tho foasa billty of this project and tho com pany appears to bo keeping good faith with tho state. "In tho Gooso Lako Valloy a 50,-000-acro project Is nearlng compln ti'onand tho lands which will bo Ir rigated by it havo been cut up into small tracts and sold." . o CONGRESSMAN GILMORE, NEW ORLEANS, IS DEAD KANSAS CONVICTS MAKE ESCAPE BY AID OF WOODEN "GUNS" WITH CLEVERLY' EXECUTED gun, and finds that it 1b made 'of REPLICAS OF THE REAL ARTI-wooa. u ,8, howovor( a mnrveious Imitation of a real man-killer.

One of tho Stato Line suburban trains crowded with passengers on their way to work in this olty today, crashed In to the rear of a standing train at Richmond, four miles north of Mel bourne. Eleven passengers in the closely packed cars were killed and 08 injured. The accident occurred during a dense fog, and the driver of tho suburban truln had no chance to start bis engine. - The rolling stock was of tho now stool type, which pre vented tho cars taking flro or tele scoping, otberwlso the loss of life would have been much heavier. ly "hardwaro" responds by picking it up and pointing It carelossly at tho inquiring visitor who ducks and protests vigorously against boing obllgod to look into tho yawning barrel. Thon ho is allowed to handlo the Tho Appeal of Platitudes, That the famous Araorjcan who has been admonishing all Europe, bo Binning with tho Kings and Emper ors, has not told them anything they did not already know is tho vordlct of soino of tho European critics. But in a certain senso wo .can toll no body what ho does not alroady know He must havo como to tho point whoro ho Is mentally able to follow tho roasouing presented and to talto pvory step with tho speaker. If ho hcchjiU the conclusions it is beeaugo ho has In very fnot alroady worked up to that point In his own mental prucossos. Until then no amount of talking can do moro than set him thinking tho thing out for himself. Ho cannot really know it until he knows It far bimsolf. To preach platitudes Is Uio d I root way to tho sympathy and understand ing of hearers with whom ono could Inspire to ono's own Joy In obvious truth. It is a llaao consciousness captured, Tho trainmen could not bg con vinced that they had boon fooled with woodon guns. "That was no toy that was poked nt mo," was tho omphalic statement of n hrakoman. "It was" cold steel." alono that.coasoa to rejoice in tho oxqulslto foot that twice two are al ways four. A platitudo Is a truth that has becomo axiomatic to human thought; but which, unlike tho axiom is not always soon to bo nqtlve in human affairs. It is certainly better to be vigorously stlrrod up pn points where wo essentially fail than ho ad vised to veneer over fundamental errors with virtues assumed because they appear to be brilliant pud novel embellishments, if the worst of us livod the best wo havo always kriown there would soon bo nobody that needed haranguing to impel him to Just plain simple decency of Jtfe.
