FIRE IKK
h cm
The forest fire which ha* been
smouldering on the mountains east
of town for the past day or two,
suddenly became a menace to the
city thlB afternoon whe? a south
west wind fanned It into a de
structive blare and carried the
llames to the hills overlooking the
city.
Here the smoke rolled up like
the belchings of a volcano and the
roaring and crackling mass, miles
in length, towered over Skagway
with rel tongues leaping ?p In
apparent eagerness to devour the
city.
Soon the fire bell was sounded
and the citi*ens called together to
take immediate measures to fight
the fire and protect the city from
danger.
President IMrkeson of the White
Pass closed all the offices of the
company, called in the men from
the shops and heading his men he
hurried to the scene
As we go to press the danger
threatening Skagway seems lessen
ed but the fire is still burning and
destroying hundreds of cords of
wood anl threatening the houses.
Kern Caitle, the celebrated Swiss
chalet, and one of the most noted
buildings in Alaska is threatened,
but the t'lre fighters have hopes of
saving It.

Washington, July 24 ? Francis
Bird, appraiser of customs for the
port of Ne-v York, has sent tn hfs
resignation to President Taft and
announces that he will take the
ftump In supporting the candidacy
of Theodore Roosevelt and the
Progressive party. Hlrd has had
a large experience in the customs
serviop an ! is noted as an orator
and public worker. He rendered
valuable pld to Inspector l>oeb
when the 'hefts by the sugar refin
ing companies were discovered,
which resulted in Iheir being com
pelled to j'sy back to the govern
ment the amount which they had
stolen by short weights.
The resignation of Bird Is bein*
received with rejoicing by the Na
tional Progressives, especially since
It follows so closely upon the res
ignation of Herbert Knox Smith,
commissioner of corporations In
the department of labor, who had
a break with President Taft over
ihs prosecutions of the harvester
trust.
Smith hus quit the office and
will hold r. conference with Mr.
Koosevelt Friday where It Is be
lieved he will arrange to take nj
the work of campaigning for th<
Progressives. Mr. Smith decline*
to discuss his political relation!
with ^'???oldent Taft, but regard
ing his connections with the ne*
party he says in his letter to Mr
Taft:
"I resign because I intend t<
Mipport th-- progressive' movemen
and the new 'progressive' party
That movement Includes the prin
?iples that I believe in and tha
I have earnestly tried to further s<
far as I could during my term o
federal service.
"I feel that the new party repre
pents thrm- principles more dlrectl;
and with more promise and pow
of performance than either the re
publican or democratic parties.
"I trust that you will pardot
Shis expression of my persona
views; it seems only courteous tha
I should state to you the reasoi
for my action."
