PINE CREEK DISTRICT
IS SWEPT BY FLAMES
SPOKANE, Aug. 27.—A forest fire
that suddenly sprang into life yester
day is sweeping down Pine Creek, in 1
the Couer d’Alene mining district of!
northern Idaho and today was threat
ening the new $100,000 mill of the
Amy Matchless mine and the village
of Beeler.
Efforts of 200 men fighting its
advance had succeeded in holding
the fire away from mine property
after it had approached within a few
hundred yards and burned one of two
outlying buildings in Beeler.
A quantity of lumber of the Pine
Creek Lumber company, and surface
workings of other mines in the vicin
ity, also were threatened by the fire,
according to reports received here.
M. M. Hapwood, Mrs. Sterling and
Mrs. Hoover, members of a party
whose men ere out hunting near Skil
ak lake, left today on a short visit
to Anchorage.
Deputy Marshal Peter McMullen
and bv'de were passengers on the
Santa Ana for Bethel. The popu’nr
couple were married in Kansas .
A special work train will arrive
today from Anchorage wi'd a crew
of men.
Miss L. B. Willson of Anchorage
was an arrival on the Admiral Evans
having made the loop. She left for
her home on today’s train.
FERRIES CUT RATES;
SMALL TOWNS HURT
OLYMPIA, Aug. 27.—The depart
ment of public works, investigating
ferry bnat charges for carying au
tomobiles and auto trucks, has found
■mall communities along the Sound
are suffering from unfair competi
tion more than had been reported.
Many of these communities are cut
off from communication by highways
and are wholly dependent upon boats
which the cut-rates of the ferries
are driving off the runs. The de
partment is facing the necessity of
finding some way of guaranteeing
those small towns communication
with theoutside world, while not do
ing any injustice to the people more
favorably situated. An adjustment
of rates for loaded and unloaded
freight and passenger stages may
meet the problem without doing any
injury to either the ferries or the
stage lines.
The Alaska railroad announces
that it will carry exhibits to the fair
at Anchorage free of charge. Sew
ard exhibitors should take advantage
of the fact.
Nellie Cashman, the Alaska pion
eer who has been critically ill at the
Fiarbanks hospital is recovering, ac
cording to word received on last ev
ening’s train.
H. B. Madland, representing the
Seattle Hardware Co., will be an out
going passenger on the Northwest
ern.
Mrs. A. T. Rowe, wife of the post
master at Hot Springs will be a re
turning passenger on the Alaska for
her home down the river. She has
been spending the summer at her
summer home in Newport, Ore., with
relatives.
Mrs. Katherine Schultz was a Se
ward visitor over Sunday.
C. E. Benson, wel lknown Seward
business man, and long time resi
dent of the city .leaves on the North
western for his old home in Swed
en. Charley left Malmo, 25 years
ago, when a wee gossoon, and is go
ing back to visit his mother and four
sisters whom he has not seen for a
quarters of a century. He will visit
France, Germany and other foreign
countries whole absent. The trip will
