FROM FIRE
Spokane, Aug. 25. Hope for the
safety of a party of 85 fire fighters,
headed by Joe Halm, of Spokane, has
ber n practically abandoned today, ac
cording to a special from Wallace.
They have been three days fighting
at the head waters of the St, Joe and
have been unheard from despite the
desperate efforts that have been made
to communicate with them.
Forestry experts today stated that
on an estimate there had been fully
15,000 dollars worth of timber de
st'royed in the state of Idaho.
Forest Supervisor Welgl of Wal
lace today wired that the official of
known dead, numbers to date, among
the fire fighters, 94. Two bands of the
fire fighters, last heard from who are
in the hottest of the bt. Joe river fire
and numbering 185 men are missing
and cannot be located. A relief party
is now enroute to the headwaters of
the St. Joe in search of the missing
men. It is now believed that fully 150
dead will be the count when the full
reports are in. Thirty are dead efr
Setzer Creek, 8 at Bullion,' 1 Boulder
Creek, 2 Pine Creek, 2 Rock Creek.
Montana Sees Relief.
Helena, Mont. Aug. 25. Governor
Norris will probably not send out any
more troops unless the situation in
Montana grows worse. The wind is'
moderating much and snow and rain
yesterday did much to confine the
fires to areas already burning. The
troops are held in readiness, however,
and will be sent out if necessary.
The most threatened district today
seems to be at Thompson Falls in
the western portion of the state along
Clark's Ford Valley. A steady down
pour of rain yesterday saved the Flat
head country and snow checked the
flames in the higher districts in the
mountains and In the Gallatin forests.
Vancouver, Wash., Aug. 25. Forest
fires in Clark county have already
done a quarter of a million dollars'
worth of damage and is threatening
lives. Hundreds of settlers have fled
to the village of Battleground. Eleven
men in Badberry camp are missing.
The village of Eureka is surrounded
and fire and communication with Ye
colt is lost. Before the wires went
down, it is reported 250 'employes at
the Twin Falls logging company, were
hemmed. in with a ravine the only
avenue of escape, The settlement of
shanghai, consisting of 80 houses, was
destroyed last night.
Prospect Is Threatened.
Medford, Aug. 25. The little tpwn
of Prospect is thr'itened, and one
hundred soldiers and fifty civilians
are attempting to check the fire. The
situation at Ashlan) Is improved, and
unless a high wind comes it is believed
the city will be out of darker.
