Spokane, Wash., Aug. 4.- A special
from Femie, B. C., to the Spokesman-
Review, says:
It is feared that the loss of life will
reach beyond 100, but there are so
many living people without homes or
shelter or food to be looked after that
up to the present no effort has been
made to ascertain the number of those
who lost their lives.
In the district swept by the flames
there is estimated to have been some
7,000 people. Two thousand of these
people have been sent west to Cran-
brook and Elko, some 1,500 fled from
the flames to the northward and reach­
ed Hosmer and other places along the
line.
The Great Northern train took all
the people it could carry up the line,
fighting its way through sheets of
flames before reaching a place of
safety.
Scores of families were separated,
husbands not knowing where their
wives and children were, and in some
instances it was ascertained this morn­
ing that members of the same family
were in Cranbrook, Fernie and Hos­
mer.
The lowest estimates of the amount
of the loss is placed at $2,500,000, and
as nearly as can be ascertained the in­
surance carried will amount to some­
thing like $1,500,000. Of the 7,000
people who had been housed yesterday,
3,000 have been taken away. It is es­
timated by the committee appointed
that there will be 3,500 who will have
to be furnished with temporary shelter
and food.
