It is estimated that the total damage by forest fires in the northwest this year will amount to nearly $500,000. The fires are burning all along the railroad lines and river, and at night illuminate the hills and mountains. Several farmhouses have been burned, with the stables and produce, and stores with quantities of wheat of this year's crop. Several thousand cords of wood have been consumed. Monday the flames swooped down upon the settlement of Cedar Mills, and left the country barren. The people, in some instances, had scarcely time to es¬ cape, and had to hurry through the woods, the fire being so thick along the regular road. An extensive fire is raging in southern Oregon, south of Rosebud, and a num¬ ber of houses have been burned. SULLIVAN INDICTED. Also lie To r co Fltzpatrlk—Kilraln Ar- rested ill Haiti more.
