MANY FAMILIES SEPARATED.
Property Loss at Fernie Not Less
Than $2,500,000.
Spokane, Wash., Aug. 4. A special
from Fernie, 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. , v
Scores of families were separated,
husbands not knowing where their
wives and children vvere, 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.
DEATH LIST GROWS.
Seventy-Four Said to Have Perished
"in Destruction of Fernie.
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Aug. 4. 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 miles dis
tant, is in flames and the fate of Hos
mer and Sparwood, intervening towns,
is in doubt, they being cut off from
communication.
Over 100 live3 are known to have
been lost, 74 of them in Fernie.
A territory of 100 square miles is a
seething mass of flames. Through it
are scattered hundreds of lumbermen
and prospectors, so that the actual loss
of life will not be known for days.
The properties of the Canadian Pa
cific and Great Northern railways are
destroyed, the bridges and rolling stock
burned so that it is impossible to enter
or leave the burning area.
There is no possibility of estimating
the loss of life and property which will
result, 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 dis
aster. 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
morning a heavy 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 entered the town.

The station ship Annapolis passed
close to the fleet off Pago Pago. The
usual honors were rendered.
At 9 o'clock the fleet resumed its
course for Auckland in line of squadn n
formation. It had reduced its speed
to nine knots. The weather is fine,
though hot. The collier Ajax arrived

cruiser Gelderland arrived here today
from La Guira, Venezuela. Her com

declined to accept the letter bags and
an official communication to the Ger
man minister who is in charge of Dutch
interests in Caracas. He reports also
that Venezuela is preparing her forces
lor a ueiense oi me country. it is
believed Holland will take some action.
Forced to Run Gauntlet.

HEADY FOR FIGHT.
Stannard May Not be Able to Slip
Out of Landis Decision.
Chicago, Aug. 3. United States At
torney Sims and. Special Consul Kel
logg and Wilkerson todav drafted
petition to the United States circuit
court for a rehearing of the Standard
Oil case, in which the appellate court
recently reversed Judge Landis.
Judge Grosscup and his assocatcs
will be asked to reverse t heinsel ve
on the ground that they erred in de
cianng tliat Judge Land: erred, a lie
petition will aver that the circuit
court misinterpreted tin; testimony
misread Judge Landis' obiter dictum
and did not understand the legal
premises on which he based his im
portant decision.
The three points raised by the court
will be met squarely. I he hrst
that Judge Landis attempted to im
pose a fine upon the New Jersey
standard Oil company for' the of
tenses of the Indiana corporation
I his is to be flatly denied and the
record to be cited to confirm the
claim that the court did not read
the decision of the lower, court as
applied to the evidence.
lhe second point, that the who!
offenses were in settlements and not
in each shipment, and that ignorance
ot existing rates excused the accept
ance of rebates, will be respectfully
characterized as misapplication of the
law and a ruling contrary to its
known maxims.
The third point, that the fine of $20
240,000 is excessive and confiscatory
is to be met by the contention that
the corporation is a chronic offende
and gained many times the amount of
the fine by alleged rebating methods
lhe financial statements of the com
pany, snowing net gains ot more
than $')0,000,000 since the rebating be
gan, the government regards as elo
quent arguments.
STARTED FROM BRUSH FIRE.
Destruction of Fernie Said to Have
Cost Number of Lives.
Vancouver. B. C, Aug. 3. The city
of ferine was nearly all burned Sat
urday night by fire which caught
from a bush fire which had raged

F.Ik River Lumber company was the
first to catch in the city of Fernie
and from there the fire spread to the
main offices of the Crows Nest Coal
company. Inside of an hour hun
dreds of cottages of miners had been
burned and the main business sec
tions of the city were swept away.
Fernie has a population of about
.")000, and two-thirds of the people

Great Increase in July Death Rate
Over Former Years.
Chicago. Aug. 3. Enormous in

HILL ABANDONS
OCEAN TRADE
Will Withdraw Steamers In favor of
Japanese Lines.
Builder of Railroads Says Laws That
Help, Not Subsidies, Alone Will
Make American Ocean Carrying
Trade Possible Places No Blame
on Commission.
St. Taul, Minn., Aug. 1. The an
nouncement that the Hill lines have
abandoned the marine portion of their
share in the trade with Japan and
China, while retaining affiliation with
Japanese steamship mies, came as a
shock to many people of the North
west. According to the chairman of
the board, James J. Hill of the Great
Northern, it was to be expected.
"Why," exclaimed Mr. Hill, "our
Paciuc Lracie lias been gone for a year.
As long as 15 months ago I told them
what was coming."
Asked if the action of the American
trans-continental roads m withdraw
ing from the Pacific carrying trade
was due to resentment at the action
of the interstate commerce commis
sion, Mr. Hill replied:
"Resentment, no. 'The commission
cannot be blamed for enforcing the"
law. The Pacific trade was given up
because it did not pay. America to
day has no flag on the high seas, or
might as well not have, for we cannot
compete with any other country, and
must hand the load over to anybody
that asks for it. The only way for
us to continue in the Pacific trade
would be for the railroads to own
their own steamers and run them at
a heavy loss.
"We are not a seafaring nation. We
have no sailors, . though under the
law Americans must constitute two
thirds or three-fourths of the crews.
What we must have to make ai
ocean-carrying trade posihle is not
subsidies, but intelligent legislation,
legislation that h'elps instead of hin
ders." LABOR WAR SERIOUS.
