THE MORNING OREGOMAN. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST I90S. FIRE-DEVOURING TOWN OF Wind Blows Gale. From West and Flames Sweep Down Mountain Side.. ESCAPE BY TRAIN CUT OFF Encountering Wall of Flame, Engine Carrying Fire-Fighters to Point or Safety Forced to Return. Line Clear to tho East. VANCOUVER. B. C. Aug 4 .-(Special.) For three days the people of Michel have fought for their homes with death at the door. This afternoon they were beaten at the game. The city, the second In size in the devastated dis trict of East Kootenay, started to burn in real earnest at dusk this evening. Nothing can save it from lying a heap ' of ruins even more complete than Fernie " by tomorrow morning. The background of Fernie in every direction, except the openings up and down the valley. Is a mountain. There is one. main street run ning through the center of the town and the railway rune down the center 'of the street. Two rows of houses on each side have their back yards abutting against the mountain. Fire Sweeps Down Mountain. - From a light eastern breeze the wind turned to a gale from the west at 3 o'clock this afternoon and the city in a moment was doomed. The blaze came sweeping down . the hill. At the edge of toe town 100,000 feet of mine Umbers owned by the coal company caught Are first, and four loaded rail way cars standing on side tracks were consumed. Two Canadian Pacific lo comotives were hitched onto a train to carry the fire fighters away to the west to safety. Women and children - had been sent east to Blairmore and Frank on Monday. By the time the " train left for the west the fire was spreading all over the yards. Train Strikes Wall or Flame. The train got only half a mile on Its ' Joarney when It encountered a wall of flames. There was danger of Its being hemmed in and being burned1 with every soul aboard, so tho loco motives were reversed and run back with all speed. By the time this train returned all the houses on the flat district back of the Great Northern depot were burning and the main town was likely to catch at any moment. Telegraph Operator Sticks to Key. ' At 5 o'clock a lone newspaperman and the telegraph operator still stuck by the Canadian Pacific instrument. The last message, at 5 o'clock, that the news- ' paperman sent was: "Many houses burning. Trains can not get west from here. Railway serv ice west of this town will be blocked Indefinite!-. To the east the line fs clear. Will try to reach Crows Nest be fore morning and forward news from there." TWENTY LOGGERS ARE MISSING Mill Men May Have Perished In Fire ' About Hosmer. VANCOUVER. B. C. Aug. 4. Up to this evening 18 bodies had been found in the ruins caused by the tire at Fernie. The known dead are: Walter Ford, wife and two children, bodies found In a well; Mrs. Turner, an aged cripple whom friends were trying to ' rescue, but were forced to leave to her fate: two children and a man, names un known, in West Fernie; one man unrec ognized in the ruins of the old Waldorf Hotel: one man unrecognized, found lying naked on the railway track near Spar wood; Lena Bell, a -negro woman; J. A. Anderson, engineer at the Hosmer mines, body found yesterday in an air shaft where he had suffocated; four unknown men near Sparwood. Several were drowned in trying to swim the Elk River. The logging crew of the Elk Lumber Company, consisting of about 20 men. is still missing. They were at work on the mountain north of Hosmer and nothing has yet been heard from them. Some be lieve that the entire party has perished in the flames. The only possible way of escape open to them was to cross the mountain range. If they succeeded it will bo several days yet before they could possibly reach Fer nie by a circuitous route. No human be ing could undertake to reach them across the burned area at the present time. No great damage to Michel has been done by tire yet. The town is today surrounded and seriously threatened from the west. If the wind remains favorable there may be no loss, but with a strong west wind it would be impossible to save the town and the coal company's plant. A special correspondent of the Province sent to Fernie wires today from Nelson, B. C: "I have Just returned from Fernie. I visited Hosmer. where fire destroyed the new steel tipple of the Canadian Pacific Hallway coal mines to be opened In January. Four tons of dynamite stored on the nearby hillsides blew up. wreck ing windows and doors. Otherwise only a. few houpes are burned. "Many men are still missing from Fernie logging camps. Up to last eight 12 bodies had been found in the town and S3 persons are still missing. Logging Superintendent Fred Waters, of the Elk Company, fought his way. through the tames. Many of the foreigners were panic-stricken and some must have per ished. "R. Jafferey. a director of the Crow's Nest Coal Company. Kates that work will start today at Coal Creek. The coke ovens are uninjured and the coal and coke industry will be on a normal foot ing in a week." FLED FROM FIRE OX TRAIN Railroad Carried Hundreds of ran- Ic-StricUen People From Fernie. CALGARY. X. W. T.. Aug. 4. Mrs. George S. Crossman, of Fernie, with her sister Miss Maud Holman. came In from Michel last night. She relates a thrilling story of escape from the burning town. ( Saturday afternoon Mr. Crossman rushed into his house to say that the fire, which had been raging in the bush i for several days was threatening the city of Fernie itself. Hastily they col lected a few things. Mrs. Crossman. carrying her little baby, took refuge in . a fireproof warehouse where it was ' thought they would be safe from the flames which were then rising from every part of the doomed town. Soon, however, an awful shower of sparks and burning pieces of wood began to have effect on the building and it was MICHEL derided to remove all the women within tiie freight sheds to a train which was being made up to carry them to places of safety. They determined to cross to the sheds, which were a mass of flames, and board a train. Mrs. Crossman and her sister, both soaked with water, and the baby wrapped up In a wet blanket, made the Journey safely. Mrs. Cross man said that on the train she saw men, women and children of all na tionalities, mixed together and sitting thre or four on a seat. The men were shouting, while hysterical women, sep arated from their, children, were call ing In vain for their lost ones Some were dressed in all their fin ery and others had scarcely anything to wear at all. There were scores of children, some with their parents and some who had lost fathers and mothers in the confusion. " "The train then pulled out for Hos mer." said Mrs. Crossman. "but we found the heart of that town in flames when we reached it. The original in tention had been to get through to Michel, but shortly after leaving Hos mer we heard that the Michel bridge was burned. The train then backed again, to stop for tiie night between Hosmer and Fernie. going on its way bark through the greatest danger, for we had to pass for a mile between blazing brush on both sides. The win dows of the cars became so hot that It was Impossible to touch them, and the heat and smoke were stifling. All this time the women were screeching and saying their prayers at the top of their voices and adding to the terrible confusion.- After passing through this fire belt the train reached a safe place and stopped for the night. While we lay there condensed milk for the wo- DEATH OF PROMINENT DUFTJR CITIZEN ( ::- -i sr , - J . . i . . 1 h Y'N: The Late Samuel B. Johnston.

The train returned to Fernie Sunday morning and the passengers found that the fire had burned Itself out during the night. R. A. Howsen. of Calgary, who had been In Fernie for several weeks, said that the worst has not yet been told of the disaster. Driven by a fierce gale, the flames ate up the buildings with rapidity and the people had no time to save anything. All that could be done was to get families together and flee. The railroad companies acted with re markable promptness in getting people away. The Great Northern and the Canadian Pacific did not lose a moment in rushing trains to tne rescue and drawing the refugees beyond the dan ger sone. The people huddled together on two clearings outside the town until the trains arrived. Mr. Howsen says an abundance of food was soon brought in to the suf ferers and there was no hardship on that score. The foreigners acted well, and fortunately there was no liquor, every drop of that commodity going to feed the flames. CITY'S BOND ISSUE VALID Supremo Court Overrules McKenna Petition for Rehearing. SALEM. Or., Aug. 4. The Supreme Court today overruled the petition for rehearing in the case of Francis I. McKenna vs. The City of Portland, in which an opinion was given two weeks ago upholding the validity of the Port land charter amendment authorizing the Issuance of over $5,000,000 bonds for municipal improvements. City officials and property-owners, desirous of having carried out the va rious improvements provided for un der the bond Issues voted last June, are pleaded with the ruling of the Supreme Court. It 'means that fur ther obstructive litigation cannot be expected and all that remains to be done Is to complete all necessary pre liminaries and issue the bonds that have been authorized. The final decision sustaining the val idity of these bonds and the election by which they were authorized Is a victory for City Attorney Kavanaugh. From the time the McKenna suit was brought the City Attorney has con tended that the election was entirely legal and that the city officials were vested with the legal right to pro ceed immediately with the various bond Issues. The next step will be for the city officials to arrange for the sale of these bonds, aggregating $5,225,000. The various Improvements author ized and for which the bonds will be Issued are as follows: $3,000,000 for building another pipe line from Bull Run and extending the city water sys tem; $1,000,000 for public parks, play grounds and boulevards; $500,000 for public docks: $450,000 for a new Madison-street bridge, and $275,000 for a new flreboat and reinforcing water mains.
