VALENTINE, Neb., Mar. 27.
A definite check up of the ravage
of the prairie fires which have
been raging over North Central
Nebraika and acrou tho lino in
the v.clnlty of the Rotebud Indian
reservation in South Dakota lines
last Wednesday showed that no
livea were lost, no towns were
destroyed, but that property dam
age amounting to approximately
$1,000,000 waa caused.
The strong, high winds, which
have prevailed for the past two
days and had whipped the flames
had subsided this morning and
small firea were reported only in
a few scattered places. No furth
er damage however, was expected.
The earlier unconfirmed reports
that the fires had destroyed the
villages of Tuthill, Vetal and St.
Francis, all In South Dakota were
found to be untrue when telephon
Is communication waa restored.
None of these towne were damag
ed it was said, although the towns
were threatened and required hero
ic efforts on tha part of their reel-,
dents to save them. Several
rancher near here suffered bum
in th fight.
VALENTINE. Neb.. Mar. 27.
After causing an estimated loss of
$1,000,000 or more to hay lands
and ranchers property, virtually
nil of the prairie fires which have
ravaged North Central Nebraska
and the southern section of South
Dakota, were extinguished today,
according to a survey made this
noon. No loss of life was sustain
ed as far as known In Nebraska,
although unconfirmed reports
told of the death of four persona
In South Dakota. These reports
were discredited here tpday, al
though many ranchers were forced
to flee before the flames.
Several smaller tires are known 1
to be present nortnwest or nere,
but ranchers reported they were
being extinguished rapidly with
out considerable loss.

Ranchers (his morning reported
that the fire had burned over an
area of 200 miles to, in some
places, 80 miles wide. The dam
age to the hay land. It Is estimat
ed, amounts to at least St an acre.
It Is the general view here that
the larger fires have subsided ow
ing to the settled calm of the
winds which whipped the flames
yesterday and Wednesday. Not
much damage Is expected hence
forth as ranchers everywhere are
tackllrg the smaller blazes.
Disrupted telephone communica
tion and the unsettled conditions
of the country makes verification
difficult, although every report
tells of large damage to ranches.
A verified report today told of
the destruction of the William
Yancey ranch, north of Cody, Neb.,
several miles west of here. The
ranch, one of the largest in north
ern Nebraska, was completely
burned out. It Is also known def
initely that several other ranches
were burned out. Many cattle

the fires, which late yesterday

gument upon the contention of the
stute of Oregon that railroads
serving It should be required to
construct extensive mileage
throug its central and eastern por
tions was presented today before
the interstate commerce commis

that a new cross-line of railroad
running from east to west through
Its southern section together with
north and south extension should
be built.
He declared the Interstate com
mission had the power to enforce
such a requirement.
"The Southern Pacific controls
transportation In half of Oregon
and fhe Union Pacific controls
It In the other half," Mr. Ellis re
plied. ''It is that situation which
we seek to have met by this ap
plication." Mr. Ellis argued that National
military Interests required the
north and south construction
