The Chamber of Commerce did not
hold a meeting last eveniog. The com
mittee appointed to report on the mat
ter of the building of a rood to Denver
glacier who had a conference with Mr.
Berdoe, say they found him in sym
pathy with a proposal to use the rnil
road, instead, as far as Denver station
from which point a railroad it is esti
mated can be built to the glacier for
$15,000.
The proposition contemplates the
running of gasoline engines, hauling
cars ovor the road to the glacier rather
than the building of a wagon or auto
moblls road, which would, the com
mittee found, be mu :h more expensive.
It is meeting with much favor with
those who have it under consideration.
The formal report will be laid before
the chamber at a special meeting to be
called early in the week.

Detroit Oct. 17 ? Forest fires are sweeping uncontrolled
over the entire lower peninsula of Michigan. Many relief
trains have been sent out but in every case they ha#e been
compelled to return on account of their helplessness against
the sweep of the flames. The whole country in front of the
rush of fire is swept with cinders and impenetrable because
of the thick pall of smoke. People are fleeing before it
with their goods, wagons, horses and cattle and the flight is
like that before an invading army, made more distressing
by the presence of the heat and smoke. There will be a
large accounting of loss of life as well as an immense loss of
property.
