Most of the country delegates to th<

selected and for the most part the;
are admittedly Hntl-progressive. Thi

The opponents of the Rooaevet
plans base thalr belief that they wll
be able to control the State conventloi
on the vote by which the Hughe:

the State assembly at the recent extrt
session. This vote, they say was rep
resentative of the feeling througnou

Oriscom and his associates on th
State committee refuse to discuss th
report that they plan to force a spe

before the convention meets, at whic
the matter of the temporary chalrmn
might again be discussed. The tm

SPOKANE, WASH., August 24.—
The end ot the northwestern forest
fire horrors Is not In sight despite the
improved condition, according to re
ports from all parts of the nre sone.
The apprehension expressed by
Supervisor Wiegel at Elienburg over
the late of 300 rangers of his tire
fighting force, was increased to-day
when a report came from Thompson
Falls. Mont., that SoO forest rangers
fighting the flames In that vicinity
have not been accounted for.
The alarm was increased when H.
F. Kottkey. a ranger in charge of the
300 men reported missing by Wiegel,
yesterday staggered Into Missoula last
niirht with a few men and reported
that he did not know what had be
come of the rest. When lust he saw
any of them, said Kottkey, they were
out In the burning district near Avery
seeking a means of escape. Several
large parties of rescuers have gone
out from Missoula and Spokane to
search for the missing men.
Despite the apprehension of the
forestry officials at Thompson Falls
over the fate of the 600 missing
rangers, the officials refuse to believe
that the men could have perished.
IHsjtatolies Hopeful.
Dispatches from Thompson Falls
to-da) expressed hope that they had
merely lost their way and would soon
reappear In some of the safer towns
In the fire zone.
News of the disappearance of the
men was brought here by Forester
Barney, who reported that the 600
men four days ago were sent to the
cabinet reserve to fight the flames
Harney says that Forest Supervisor
Buehnell at Thompson has had no
w ord from the 600 men since they left
He expressed the belief that it would
have been almost impossible for them
to obtain food in the cabinet reserve,
and said he feared they had been
cut off from relief.
Aaidc from the many reported dis
aster* to forest rangers, tha forestry
officiate both here and at Missoula de
clared that a conservative estimate,
about 76 men. women and children
have perished, and that the loss to
timber alone will nof be less than
$ 10.000,000.
They could not estimate the. dam
age to other property.
Send Regulars.
The calling out of the entire State
militia of Idaho and part of the militia
of Oregon and Montana is l**lleved to

President Taft has telegraphed the
executives of these three States com
mndlng their action and has promised
to rush all available Fnlted States
troops to the fire section but they must
not be called on to do police duty.
The fire near Thompson Falls Is now
the most serious In Montana,
i Forester Barney reported at Mis
| soula that when he left Thompson
Lysalerdai-.Jnoniing.-fl_wall. .ox.. Humes

ing toward Thompson from the west.
The 700 Inhabitants of the village
were packed and ready to flee, but

It must consist of not less than three

The resignation will he acted upon
at the first meeting of the new Coun
cil, and it is probablo that Mr. Steiner
.will lie <-|et ted at the same session.
The resignation of Mr. Wise is dua
to the latt that he has recently pur*

! where he intends to make his home.
Several weeks ago he announced that
h" would r' sign, and immediately a

Mr. Stein is a .member of the City
Democratic Committee. Mr, Stein la
an ex-member of the City Council,
who refused to stand for re-electloHS!
two years ago. Mr. Oiazehrook waa
a candidate for councilrnanic honor*
at the recent primary.
Reports circulated for the past few
days have had it that Mr. Herman s
Stein would be sent to the neat va
1 Cated by Mr. Wise.
This report, however, according to
Mr. Steiner, is incorrect. The latter
bid a reporter for The Virginian Wed
nesday that three of the four mem
bers of the ward delegation had been
pledged to his support.
"It is all fixed up," said Mr. Steiner.
"I have a majority of the delegation.
Three of them will tote for me."
The ward delegation, headed by Mr.
- 1 Peters, comprises the following addl*
» . tioual cotmcUmen: Messrs I’rifl H.,
a I’owell, Harry Huber and K. R. Von
derlehr,
1 j They have not yet held a ueucus,
i, iiut win probably meet within the next
e few days. It is practically certain
i i that their choice will be ratified by
- ) Common Council as a whole.
Mr. Wise, in discussing his resigna
tion, which was sent to President Pe
1 j ters on Monday, said that while he
e regretted leaving Council, he did not
r besiieve the honor of representing hi*
t ward quite measured up to the pte&s
- I ur.- of living In his new home. Mr.
s ; Wise has purchased an acre of ground
- In Forest Hill, and has spent several
thousand dollars remodeling the rest
1 den< e thereon.
r | Hereafter. Mr. Wise says, he intend*
- to forget politics and lead the life of
:i a "gentleman farmer” on a small
f scale. He will, however, continue t*.
r practice law In the city.
t Mr. Wise was re-elected to Council
rat the rpcpfit election "by the targgH^j
