noon, are making a desperate fight to
May on the map. These towns are sur
rounded by flames and If they burn
during tonight the added loss of life
will b'- comparatively small, while the
property loss will be practically
doubled.
When the blaze occurred at Fernie
late yesterday afternoon, wire commu
nication was wiped out. This after
noon at 4 o'clock the Canadian Pacitic
had succeeded in establishing a tem
porary station one mile west of the
town.
Loss of Life Appalling.
From there. Cranbrook, the next di
visional pofnt to the west, learned
that not less than seventy lives were
known to have been lost In Fernie
alone. In Nelson, which Is fairly well
In touch with the situation, this esti
mate '.s regarded as conservative. The
total dea'h list In the valley may reach
twice that number, when the full tale
of death Is told.
Late this afternoon, Hosmer and Michel,
23 miles apart, and almost at opposite
ends of the burning district, were hard
pressed. At 4 o'clock the Michel operator
got the line going long enough to say
that the women and children were being
moved out of the town to a hill which
had already been burned over and that
the men were returning to make a final
effort to save their homes. In Hosmer
the situation was almost Identical.
Caught Like Rats in Trap.
Beyond the general facts of the dam
age done and the total loss of life, few
particulars of the devastation at Fernie
were obtainable this evening. Before 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon It was ap
parent that the city was doomed. The
blase first wiped out the great mil la of
the Elk River Lumber Company, through
whoso standing timber It had been fanned
by the high wind early in the Say.
The valley is narrow enough to en
close the wind like a box flume and
when the fire finally did strike Fernie
it hit In a dozen places at once. The In
habitants tried to scurry to the burned
over high places furthest away from
the river, but many people were hemmed
in and burned or killed by falling build
ings The small cottages of the miners,
hundreds In number, burned in an hour.
When It was all over the only buildinss
left were one store, an Iron warehouse
owned by the Trites Wood Company,
the coal company's Office building and
five houses. Several frightful' fatalities
occurred. In one place' five families
who were surrounded by fire were burned
to death.
Vancouver Sends Aid.
Mayor Trites. In a message today to
the Mayor of Vancouver says that 6000
people are out on the hills or slowly com
ing back to the burned district, entirely
homeless. They are mostly miners whose
entire worldly possesslono have been
wiped out. W. R. Ross. M. L. A- wired
to Premier McBride early this morning
applying for help. He estimated the
number of homeless at jf).
A special meeting of the City Council
of Vancouver was held at 11 o'clock this
morning and an immediate grant of tM"0
made for the sufferers. Carloads of
provisions wiil be sent in early tomorrow
from Calgary or Nelson or both places.
Whole Region a Seething; Hell.
A newspaper correspondent at Michel
wired this afternoon that the hills sur
rounding the town were all afire and the
place a seething furnace. He adds that
everything has been destroyed in the dis
trict between Michel and Fernie. miles.
The fire was carried for miles at a time.
The town of Sparwood. where a large
sawmill was located, was wiped out yes
terday. Peter Campbell, a mining man.
came Into Michel laat night with three
men who were badly" burned In trying to
save the Sparwood mill. They were re
moved to the hospital and are In a pre
carious condition. They said that the
whole country was a seething hellfire
everywhere making it impossible to es
cape. The body of Pete Miller was found ly
ing on the Canadian Pacific track near
Michel. He had been overcome trying
to flee from the fire. The bodies of four
others were found late last night.

Four men lost their lives trying to
save the huge Great Northern bridge
IS miles west of Michel, but It was
totally destroyed. Two men from Spar
' wood were taken to the Michel hos
pital. It Is thought Michel also Is doomed,
as the fire Is sweeping eastward down
the Crows Nest and unless the wind
shifts the whole Crows Nest country
will be laid flat.
Peter Campbell, who reached Michel.
says the whole country between Cran

tinent since the San Francisco disaster.
The Canadian Pacific railway is rush
ing relief trains with doctors, nurses,
food and clothing to the destitute.
A bulletin froth Michel says: "This

changes. Canadian Pacific railway is
making up special trains to carry in

WORST IX CANADA'S HISTORY
Fire Spreading South and May Cross
Into Montana.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Aug. 2. As a
result of bush fires the town of Fernie,
B. C. is wiped off the map as a child
cleans a slate. Michel, 14 mil?s distant.
Is in flames and the fate of Hosmer and
Sparwood. intervening towns, is in doubt,
they being cut' off from all communica
tion. Over 100 lives are known to have been
lost. 74 of them in Fernie.
A territory of 100 square miles Is a
seething masa of flames. Through it
are scattered hundreds of lumber men
and prospectors, so that the actual loss
of life will not be known for days.
The properties of the' Canadian Pacific
and Great Northern Railways are de
stroyed, the bridges and rolling stock
burned so that it is impossible to enter
or leave the burning area.
The Inhabitants of the towns have
fled to open districts In the vicinity In
hopes of safety. The railway companies
have placed all available trains at their
disposal and unless there Is a change of
wind within the next 24 hours, the whole
of the Crown Nest Pass country will be
left in flames.
There is no possibility of estimating the
loss of life and property which wiil re
sult, for the flames are driven by a half
gale, making it Impossible to put up a
fight against their advance.
The conflagration is the greatest which
has ever reached Canada and ranks only
with the San Francisco disaster.
For the past month forest fires have
been raging In the mountains of Elk
River Valley country, but they have not
been considered serious.- Saturday morn
ing a heavv wind sprang up from the
west and early in the afternoon the
flames appeared over the crest of the
mountains to the west of Fernie. This
ran down the mountain side and before
a fire guard could be organized had en
tered the town.
Within an hour the town was doomed
and the Inhabitants sought safety in
flight, leaving their all behind them. AH
night and this morning the .exodus con
tinued the destination being a small
prairie in the. valley 30 miles south of
town. .
At present 90 people are camped there
In the open, their only protection being
shelters built of brush or blankets, while
a constant shower of sparks from the
burning area keep fallirtg through the
pall of smoke by which they are sur
rounded. For a time communication was
kept open, but with the burning of the
bridges across the Elk River this was
closed.

A number of men went out today and
It is thought the fire can be readily

If the wind rises the fire Is almost sure

ABERDEEN, Wash.. Aug. 2. (Special.)
Until a change of wind cafhe about
noon today the city had been filled with
smoke from forest fires. During the night
the smoke settled heavily over the har
bor and it seemed for a time that Aber
deen fould experience a repetition of the
"dark day" of August. 1903. With the
change of the wind the smoke has been
driven northwest, and it seems likely
also that the flies are abating.
Little, If anything, can be learned of the
extent of the fires, but it Is thought they
are in logged-off lands, and that little
standing timber has been burned. All the
logging companies whose camps have"
been threatened have hundreds of men
at work guarding property.

USE EXISTING SURPLUS
No Special Tax Needed for Erection
of a New Courthouse.
PORTLAND, Aug. l.-(To the Editor.)
I notice in The Oregonian some reference
to the proposed erection of a new court
house, and a suggestion by the County
Court that as the county could not legal
ly issue bonds, an extra special tax might
be levied for that purpose.
It occura to me that when the people of
Multnomah County decide to build a
courthouse, they may find that an extra
Jax has already been levied and collected,
and a surplus carried over for a year or
two which brings no revenue to the coun
ty, and would very largely. If not wholly
pay the cost of a large, commodious and
satisfactory county building. If the pub
lished semi-annual exhibits of tit . coun
ty's financial condition are to be relied
on, it would appear unnecessary to levy
a large special tax. It any at all.
January 1, 19"S. there was in the county
treasury, carried over from' previous
year:
in general fund , lllf-l
In road fund . .. ' 23,6.3
Making a total surplus of .$301,023
July 1, 1908, there was in general
fund' 3,ili
In road fund lSis
Making a total of $4.11.819
with over $100,000 In taxes yet to be col
lected. I submit that if we must have a court
house, the surplus on hand should be ap
plied to that purpose. The law provides
for the annual levy and collection of rev
enue sufficient to cover probable needs,
but the financial exhibit shows a sur
plus far in excess of the actual needs,
amounting to about $200,000 In round num
bers, and . that would build a "right,
smart chunk"' of a courthouse.

SOUTH BEND, Wash.. Aug. 2.rSpe
cial.) Through the grading of First
street, which Is 80 feet wide and will,
eventually, ke the handsomest street In
the citv. South Bend Is liable to come
to more, or less grief. At one point in
the street there is a cut of 26 feet in
front of three fine residences belonging
to James Pinder and W. P. Cressy. of
this place, and Mrs. Bessie Burnham.
whose home p in Seattle.
Beneath these places, and near the
bottom of the cut. there is a sloping
strata of soapstone through which there
Is a seepage of water, and the almost
utter ruination of Mr. Cressey's and
Mrs. Burnham's properties is due to this
state of affairs, and it Is believed the
Pinder property will follow suit In a
short time.
Mr. Cressy is making all possible haste
to purchase ground In the vicinity on
which to move his house, as it is confi
dently believed that his entire lot will
go Into the street. Mrs. Burnham has
expressed her determination to bring suit
against the city for damages, and the
city will probably fall heir to Mr. Cres
sy's valueless lot, as It is not believed he
will pay the assessment, which amounts
to several hundred dollars. Several oth
er residents of the street are threaten
ing damage suits and will undoubtedly
bring them, should Mrs. Burnham be suc
cessful. SACKED GRAIN IS BURNED

longing to J. H. Coffman and William
Talbert. The grain had been threshed
ten days ago and was piled at the mouth
of a canyon. It was insured for 50 cents

great alarm and was fiercely fought by
the McB.ide and O'Harra , crew of
harvesters, who had Just left the field.
