lost in a great forest fire which raged
along the Canadian border In the

charred corpses a'ong the roadside in
the burned district and ' the loss of
millions of JlcJHars worth of property.
The fire was entirely unexpected. In

great fires in this same region, but the
fighters had about subdued them
when out of the northwest of the
Rainy River country there appeared a
great fire which swept through the
dried timber, carried in its onward
rush by a heavy gale, and, soon be
yond control, it caught the unwarned
settlers In its path of death and de
struction.
The Canadian Northern railway es
