It praises his 12 years in the chamber, notes a four year absence, and highlights his work on the postal savings bank bill and the $20 million reclamation bill. The piece suggests Rocky Mountain influence will rise in Senate leadership.

Forest Fires in Beaverhead Forest Cause Light Damage
Forest Supervisor Wyman returned to Dillon after two weeks overseeing Beaverhead national forest fires. He reports minimal damage with most fires being ground fires and only in a few cases reaching standing timber. About 60 men fought fires on Wise River with around 2,500 acres burned and similar effort on the Big Hole basin where about 3,500 acres burned. Fire origins include Miner creek from lightning and others near Fox Wise River and Pioneer likely started by unknown persons. The Wise River fire threatened 3,000 sheep if wind shifted, but winds prevented disaster.
