EDITOR PLAINDKALER:--I am more peculiarly altuated just now. than ever before In my life. In relation to drouth and forest fires. I read the ac­ counts of these fires In the C>dea*o papers, and while they are true to the letter, perhaps, they do not give any­ thing like a full conceptiono< the case, as can be gathered by tne being among the people whose whole mind, body and estate are thoroughly bound up In the lumber Interests of this Im­ port tnt section. To see the Interest and anxiety mingled with hope and fear, expressed In the eye and work­ ings of the countenance; to watch for and catch the peculiar Intonations ot voice; to see the nervous Intense movements, as word comes from this source and that; from this direction and that; then, to see the fires bright­ ened up trom the smouldering embers ^>y this coming along of the brisk breezes, and living In the blue h*s« of the smoke In which you are more or less enveloped n<ght and Jay. Indoors and out, with the light twinge* or strong smartlngs aacordlng to the density of Its preaence. giv«»s a feeling nf interest In the matter that will not nnd cannot be obtained from any written description, by a oorresp 11- dent. who does not take thementaloo»» dillon of those interested int » the ac­ count ot these already st rlotta disaster* or possible immediately future devas tations. The fires have not only run In the woods, hut also re run oyer territory that haa be«n striped of all the good pine lumber years ago, and also it burns down Into the hogs a *d mucky lands to the depths of a foot or two. Itunderminds iar<e trees so that even a slight wind tips them ov-»r. Fields have been burned over and farm buildings and stacks of har and grain.lia^e fwen destroyed by this element of terror. The drouth is^more terrible here than e sr I have seen; hard wood trees are literally dying In some places, and tbe leaves are wilting on mat.y others and on this sandy soil oorn "talks are actually drying and cured as fodder ready for stocking as it stands on the ground without being cut. Winter wheat was excellent. Mpring wheat and oats only middling and green crops almost a total failure. Toipah, Is a prosperous village having some very fin« stores; the lumbering bu«lnes* being the greater support, although In some parta of the county adjacent to here, there are some very prosperous farmers. In tiie imtm dlate vicinity, however I should take It as an Insult to be offered land for a farm, of any else, the considera­ tion bel»g that I live upon it as a permanent citizen. The leading per­ manent residents in business and tbe lumb-r luterests are a sharp, enter­ prising and Intelligent people, and In many instances showing taste, require* inent and mental culture. The Good­ year 'umber Co. Is a strong power here. The members thereof are a progressive people. They are putting in a plant of tbe B msb Electrl 5 Light, to supply their general store and their plaining mill, and will supply any other part of the v.llage desiring it. The population is about 2000. The village would be very pretty were It not on such a sandy plain. They have a flue school, numerous churches and hotel accommodations sufficient for ail who come. It is located on the through line of tbe C, M. and St. P. R.
