Slont, August 2L-A dangerous fire is raging under a high wind in the Gallatin forest, seven miles south of here. It has just crossed over Mt. Kills and Is now invading some of the most valuable timber regions in the forest, Aldret's sawmill Is in danger, as is a florit of l.SOXr sheep belonging to John Werks.

Another flock of 3.000 sheep belonging to John Haxvet, of Livingston, has Just escaped th fire, started by sparks lfrom a thrashing engine, on the ranch ot Chartes Hery. Under a high wind this fire swept in a lew minutes across a mile of stubble into the brush at tho timber's edge between Limekiln and Bear Canyon. The fire has progressed through the for- st at a rate of more than a mile an hour, and has been so powerful that the flames have, been visible in daylight for several hours at a distance of seven or eight miles. Forest Supervisor Conklin baa been calling since 2 o'clock for a hundred then to tight the fire, but so far oaly 35 have responded. If the fire at Gallatin is no brought un der control to-night there is little hope of stopping It, and the whole region between her and Yellowstone Park, including the Middle Creek and Gallatin regions, will then be in grave danger.

A slight change in the wind would take the fire directly to the spot where a dangerous conflagration was stopped a couple ot weeks ago. Another fire of serious proportions is re ported to-night from between Storris and Hofmann, 12 miles southeast of here. An other was reported from near Maudlow, just at the southern end of the Helena forest. There aro also several fires In the brush north of Boseman.

To-night, after two days' work on the part of 000 volunteer fire? fighters, the town of Loyalton, In Sierra County, California, 25 miles north of here, is out of danger from a forest fire that has burned over a district nine miles square. The fire originated from a spark of an engine and has already done damage to the extent of $200,000 to timber lands owned by the California White Pine Lumber Company.

(INCENDIARIES Believed To Be Responsible Fpr the Oregon Conflagration. Washington, August 21. Incendiarism Is now believed to be responsible in large measure for the spread of the forest Area in Oregon and the Northwest, in which millions of feet of valuable timber have gone up in smoke and millions more are threatened. Forester Albert F. Potter to-night received advices from Supervisor Buck, at Medford, that the continued spread of the "fires In' SoutheVn Oregon had revealed clearly the work of incendiaries.

Mr. Potter -would sot discuss, even in- ferentlally. what may be the purpose of the firebug, pending an Official report. Forest rangers are now engaged In. rounding up definite evidence.

Mr. Potter views with anxiety this par- ticuiar feature of the situation and lati-Inated that it may be found necessary to call upon Governor Benson, "of Oregon, through the Secretary of War, for aid from I'm Oregon National Guard. As many Fed- if in It not all It era troops as possible are being rushed en foot into the burning regions from nearoy. posts. The fires are especially threatening in the Crater' Lake country of Southern Oregon.

Advices to-night indicate that at least 2,000,000 acres of timber are in danger of being swept away. Supervisor Buck reports that the situation at Medford, Oregon, also Is extremely critical, and there lu little likelihood of extlnruishinc the flames, which in that rtgjon are spreading with tremendous speed. Forest service officials "are now directing their fighting forces to confine the fires, possible, to the east side of the Cascades. Some encouragement was felt In late advices, stating that the fires in the Wallowa, Oregon, district were under-con-trol and troops employed there would be sent to other points; War Department officials professed to know nothing regarding the alleged refusal of Brigadier General Mans, at American Lake, to send troops to Southern Oregon. Forestry officials, however, were advised that at noon to-day five companies of 230 men left American Lalie and are proceeding, with all haste, to supplement the forces now at work In the Crater Lake country.

After his body was found banging to a rafter Saturday night, the Coroner made a search for a note, but found none. Yes terday another search was made but with out success. It developed yesterday that for some dys previous to ending his life Allen had been acting queerly. Ofllcer Kent, of the Norwood force, who was well acquainted with Allen, says that one day last week he met the revenue man and walked with him for several -squares, but during the entire trip Allen did not say a word, although the of ficer tried to get him into conversation. 'Other friends of the dead man also say- that he seemed to be suffering mentally, and they are of the opinion -that he was not responsible for bis act.

That the dead man made every preparation to commit suicide was shown by the investigation yesterday. He even greased the strap which tie used ana took every precaution to prevent anything -happening that would frustrate his purpose. A number or telegrams were sent by friends to locate Allen wife, who is some where in the Georgian Bay region. Her exact whereabeuts are unknown, but It is thought that one of the messages will reach her to-day. It having been sent, to one of the points- where the steamer will stop to-dav.

The body has been prepared 'for burial by Undertaker Sullivan and Is at the home, where friends are in charge. The Coroner Is of the opinion that Allen left the doors ot the house open so that his body would be found in a short time. FELL FEOM STREET CAS.

Helps Restore Harmony Within the Party. Feeling Held Among Wise Ones at Beverly Is That Roosevelt Cannot Keep Out cf Race 'For White House in 1912 Despite Himself. srCCIAL DUTATCS TO TBI IXQtJtBE. Beverly, August 21.

Friends of both President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt along the North Shore have noticed with satisfaction that the dignified silence of the President regarding the aspersions which have been cast upon him, beginning with the adverse vote of the New York State Republican Committee last Tuesday, has borne fruit, making temporarily for peace and order. This was further revealed when the news papers of to-day brought denials from Oyster Bay that Colonel Roosevelt had ever said that he was sending Lloyd C. Griscom to Beverly with an ultimatum to the Presi dent demanding that he repudiate Vice President Sherman. It was obvious that the newspaper cor respondents who have been carrying the annonymous stories attacking President Taft, would get in trouble sooner or later. Ananias Club Grows.

ColoneJ Roosevelt was in a position to re pudiate them any time, and now some of them have gone into the Ananias Club, while the prospects for a brief peace are good. There is a feeling here that no matter what may happen now, Mr. Roosevelt will And it impossible to keep oirt of Presiden tial politics. His closest advisers, none of whom can be classed as friends of the President, are dreaming of his becoming a candidate for the nomination in 11)12. They give him no rest.

They are working a regularly organized campaign to make him feel that all Israel Is calling fe a new Moses. The rebuff of James R. Garfield in Ohio and the defeat of the Insurgents in Nebras ka, tygether with the waning of the pro gresnive cause (n Minnesota, do not fease them. In return, they point to Iowa, Kan sas 'and' California, and insist that condi tions there are typical of the entire country Slow-Off at St. Paul.

Every effort Is being made by the friends of Colonel Roosevelt to make his appear ance A the Conservation Congress at St. PaulT September 6. the highest peak of a political demonstration. This congress is engineer by Mr. Pin- chot, and he has the absolute say as to who shall go on the program and when.

It is understood that he has prepared a most attractive insurgent program. He has invited both President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt to make speeches, and naturally there will be much interest in the sort of demonstration the President will receive in a gathering managed by those who have been seeking to destroy his Administration. It is rather a daring thing for the President to do, but he has accepted, and. it is understood that he Is giving considerable time to the preparation of his address. Will Study Situation.

It is believed that much regarding Mr. Roosevelt's Presidential plana will depend on the result of his Western trip. He is going to spread out over many sections of the 'country not on his original Itinerary He will make a speech In New York State, and, singularly enough, at Utica, the home of Vice President Sherman. He will be In Chicago twice, be Is going to Cincinnati, the home of President Taft, and will cover points In the far Western states of Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota and Wisconsin. One of the most Interesting subjects of speculation among members of the United States Senate is how the various Presidential booms of insurgent Senators will mix after Colonel Roosevelt tosses his castor into the ring.

There is not much room in the progressive wing of the party for a great number of candidates, and yet. after Colonel Roosevelt announces himself as a candidate, there will be no less thn four aspirants for the nomination. Somebody Must Drop Out. The list will then include Mr. Roosevelt, Senator LaFollette, Senator Cummins and Senator Beveridge.

This does not take Into account the ambitions of Mr. Pinchot and Mr. Garfield. With Mr. Roosevelt stepping in on the preserves of Senators Cummins, LaFollette and Beveridge.

tnere will be a fine old shingy. It Is noted, however, that the recent President Is not doing very much to help Senator LaFollette. They have never been good friends since Senator LaFollette accused the then President of stealing Ills railroad ideas in December 1804. and after Mr. Roosevelt refused to indorse the LaFollette Idea of assessing the physical valuation of railroads as a first step toward Government ownership.

Much comment Is caused by the fart that although Senator LaFollette will beJ fighting for his life durthg the first oart of. the Roosevelt trip, the itinerary of the Colonel will not take him into Wisconsin until September. 7. the dsy after the hold ing of the primaries. How IHd Teddy Keep Quiet While 'President Taft is not discussing pontics or paying attention further than a friendly interest to the plans of Colonel Roosevelt, it Is evident that the Colonel la thinking of nothing else.

Wonder was ex pressed at a gathering of quite prominent New- Tork politicians at Magnolia taat night that the Colonel should have decided to accept the defeat that he suffered at the hands of the New Tork 'State Com mittee last Tuesday without a fight. Some suspect that his apparent tick at interest is really a disguise for a still bunt that his friends are going to conduct for the purpose of capturing the convention and the machinery of the party through a reorganised state committee. Jt is a question whether if Mr. Roosevelt made the effort he could make a great showing in the' convention. Unless his fight were against the' Federal Administration as 'well as the state machine he Could get some delegates In Klnga County.

He could get the New Tork County dele gation against Messrs, Barnes and Wood of of WINS MEDAL FOR HEROIC ACT. HISS XSABEIXA rSCIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQD1BEB. Culver. August 21. Miss Isabella Fuller, the 12-year-old girl at Lake liax-inkuckee, who rescued F.

Thompson, of Atlanta. from drowning by supporting his head above water until assistance came, was awarded a gold ruff, but not against the Taft Administration, and he might make a showing in Erie County. He also might obtain a con siderable number of delegates in the rural counties. Hut rne thins- in certain with the Colonel now under suspicion of entertaining ambi tions to displace President Taft as the nom inee in 1U12, It Is not likely that be could make headway. As the loyal friend of President Tart, ana with the suDoort of the President and Gov ernor Hughes, he could enter the fight and work wonders in regenerating the party.

But under susplcfon he is powerless. The last few days have seen Roose velt go back on the President and his party, as now organised, and enter the field insurgency. The consensus at the Magnolia garnering politicians already alluded to was that Colonel Roosevelt's unsoundness on the tariff would alone- be sufficient to prevent his making any successful fight In York. Taft at Feature Letter. President Taft is writing a letter to be "featured" In the Republican congressional campaign book, which, if it were not to be given away, might make It one of the "six best sellers." In It he will ask for the election of a Republican House, that he may continue his work of redeeming party pledges and point to the work of the last session of Congress as his Justification.

Before August he must prepare his speech before the Na tional League of Republican liuos ai negie Hall. He Is expected to make this a political milestone.

Nick's Lead Not Followed. Something has gone wrong with the fight against "Uncle Joe" Cannon, started in Beverly when Representative Nicholas "Long-worth gave out the announcement that he would not support the present Speaker for re-election. This action was Intended as the raising of a standard which should be a rallying point for other "regulars." who desired only an opportunity to repudiate allegiance to Mr. Cannon. To date the number who have followed the lead of Representative Longworth is so small that not a "regular" has been found to second his motion.

This adds strength to the dispatches from Ohio, which Indicated that the announcement of Representative Longworth was, so far aa he was concerned, as well considered from its effect In his own fight as from its national standpoint and likely to aid him to return to Congress. Instead' of becoming the central figure in a rush like that of a coterie of bears around a seller in Wall street. Represent ative Longworth and -his statement seems to have dropped out of sight. Since it was his plan to go to Oyster Bay to visit Colonel Roosevelt it is possible that he has been temporarily obscured in that region. It was understood that several others were ready to make similar announcements.

The fact, that they have not followed the Longworth announcement, printed on August 18, has caused considerable surprise. ENIGMA.

Were It not for the clamor over certain tariff schedules, chiefly wool, cotton and rubber, the Republicans would not be fac ing such an Inauspicious prospect as now confronts them.

But if time permits, there Is very likely to be more revision before Taft ceases to be President, and it may come sooner than the critics now antici pate. Let it be remembered that the new Tariff Board is not on a lark In Europe, but pur suant to the President's explicit Instruc tions, is energetically ascertaining the difference in the cost- of production in the United States and foreign countries. Per haps the board is giving especial attention to woolens and cottons. Know How It Is.

Busy bodies, tale bearers and other kinds of undesirables have tried to make trouble between the two men on this accounj in their customsry pestiferous way. But Roosevelt has a level head, he has had much experience with this species of malefactor, and has not-been fooled, i He Invariably can differentiate between the aenuine and the spurious the malcontent whose attitude 4s based on broad principles and the sorehead whose grievance is personal.

"My policies," by the were written into Taft's messages to Congress, and some of them have already incorporated Into the Federal statutes. But not all of them, and the Colonel exhort the country not toforget them to continue in the path of progress.

Trouble makers, malcontents, politicians sore toes or sore heads, men with dis appointments to nurse, et will doubt "discover" that Roosevelt is attacking When Roosevelt tries to make it clear he Is not assailing the President the anvil chorus probably will shout "he pro- testeth too much." The supidous will see a double meaning his utterances, a rebuke to his suc cessor, a consignment to perdition of those do not move as rapidly as he does are not leaders, but followers. But he expects to convince the skeptical his speeches will be essentially a clarion call to the people to remember "my policies." to taboo reactionary influences. beware of Retrogression in the matter of legislation, particularly in respect of railways and other forms of corporate wealth. our national resources. Were Roosevelt to expatiate as candidly upon politics as on policies, he Assuredly would stir up the country.

Then a possible mpiare wnn ine rresiueni rupture with the President might ensue many of Taft's friends as an affront to the Could If We Would. The Colonel, hoTfever, thinks that he could with Justice criticise the politics played by -some high of the Admin. istration without reflecting personally upon Die President, but he questions the pro- priety of such a courses knowing well that would be difficult to draw tne line. What the former President thinks of the political, tactics employed by certain Wash ington officials can be given passing refer ence in a subsequent dispatch. It ma Aim Ha shown W-hv.
