Grouse Creek Blaze Threatens 10000 Acres Near Sand Point
MISSOULA May 20 Despite light showers in Missoula and western Montana six fires in the Blackfeet forest north of town were brought under some control. The Grouse Creek fire 15 miles northeast of Sand Point Idaho has scorched over 10000 acres of federal and private land and is described as a major conflagration. It started on Humbird Logging property and has destroyed 9000 acres of Humbird timber plus 1000 acres of government forest. Fire chief H KR Flint said little could be done to stop the flames for now, with forestry crews and Humbird workers trying to steer the fire. Costs will rise when containment is possible. Two other Northern Idaho blazes of 2000 acres each were reported to district offices.

Montana Retains Methodist Bishop
Springfield Massachusetts May 26 A long battle over how many bishops the Methodist Episcopal general conference would maintain ended in support for keeping the status quo. A plan to elect five bishops to fill vacancies began with the first ballot to be announced tomorrow. The conference had earlier voted to create five bishops but merged areas reduced vacancies to six. A compromise for three new bishops was debated and then reversed when appeals preserved the Paris and Helena residences, overturning the committee’s recommendation.
