BUSH FIRES.
RAGING AGAIN IN VICTORIA. MELBOURNE, Feb. 4. Bush fires are again raging near Melbourne. Swept along by a furious wind, fire near Heideiburg destroyed much valuable grass land. The firefighters were unable to halt the flames and could only direct them on to valueless land, where they eventually spent themselves. In Upper Maffra fires are blazing fiercely, but hundreds of fire-fighters have the position well in hand.—Press Association.
