Twenty-Five Fires in Valley.
In the Bitter Root valley from. Woodalde
to Darby, a distance of twenty miles on
the west side of the Bitter'-Root river,
twenty-five fires broke out yesterday and
last night, destroying a number of foothill
ranches. At Stevensvllle .the fire on Koot
snay creek Is moving toward the railroad
property on the west side of the rlvor,
but haa assumed no alarming proportions.
At WoodHlde a large portion of the
forest on Sweeney creek ,was destroyed
yesterday, and six men were badly In
lured. These men are now In an Improvised

f the range, .
ranker Beatty took a Urge force of men
to Miller creek, about fourteen miles south
of Missoula., This fire has a twenty-mile
front and is swinging Into the east side
of the Bitter Root valley. This force will
be used to save the towns and not to fight
fires on the forest reserves, the latter pol
icy having been abandoned where villages
are threatened.
The railroads can handle 2.000 people with
the equipment, now on the line between
hero and the (Stricken territory. Refugees
are still pouring Into this city with tales
of distress, and many children are reported
separated from their parents.
St. Heels In Great Danger.
A report waa' received at 11 o'clock today
advising that the wind was blowing a gale
directly jfrom the fire sone to St. Regis.
The report declare that there Is little
chance for the old town now, as the flames
are clrcllnfg and will soon come In from at
least two aides. A marshy spot on one. aide
has thus far repelled the advance of the
fire and temporarily saved the town.
At the time the report was received the
Blackfoot Lumber company had 150 men
fighting the flames.
A late report from Hamilton tells of a
big fire with a wide fronts, which Is
aging seven miles west of the town and
men are being secured to fight the on-coming
torrent of flames.
The Northen Paclflo Is making a desper
ate effort to push trains through and will
send passengers aa far west as Plains.
Further than ' this no trains ran be
operated on account of the bad condi
tion of the wood trestles and bridges on
the Cabinet cut-off. A bridge 865 feet In
length Is burned out at Tusror and others
have been rendered unsafe by the ftre.
A big relief special bearing 250 St. Regis
residents started out of Old 8t. Regis on
the Northen Pacific at 11:30 o'clock today
and will pick up refugees along the way to
Missoula. The Puget Bound railway Is per
forming similar service on Its side of the
river.
The report from Spokane to the effect
that nine sisters and forty-two patients
from the Providence .hospital at Wallace
en route for Missoula had been hemmed

at the War department between Associate
Forester Potter of the forest service, Major
General Leonard Wood, chief of staff of
the army, and Adjutant Oeneral Ainsworth.
The Immediate result was the ordering In
service of the last five companies available
In the stricken regions for lire fighting duty
and sending pack trains, carrying medical
relief to the sufferers.
Incendiarism, Inadequate means of pro
tecting the forests and unusually dangerous
conditions are blamed by Associate For
ester Potter tn a statement Issued today for
the fires now raging In the northwest.
The situation, has proved so serious that
Forester Oraves, who waa on his way to
Washington, has telegraphed the service
from Rochester, N. T., that he has turned
back and Is now on his way to the front to
take charge of the fighting.
"We are summoning aid from every pos
sible source and will continue to make the
best fight we can, but unless a turn in
the weather favors us some of the fires will
burn on until they go out for want of
fuel," said Mr. Potter after his conference
with War department officials.
Mr. Potter compares the present methods
Of dealing with the conflagrations with the
handling of a San Francisco orf Baltimore
fire with a hand bucket crew. .
"In the Clearwater-forest In northern
Idaho," say'B Mr. Potter, "where ..bad fires
are now burning, the supervisor has a total
force of thirty-seven rangers and guards
to protect 2,500,000 acres of forest. The
Country is so rough and wild and there are
so few trails that it may take a week to
get to the fire and all supplies must be
carried by pack trains." r.
The orjy way to protect the public, he
said, Is by making better provision tor pre
venting the fires from getting under head
way. In his district he gives credit to rail
road companies and private timber land
owners. for their co-operation.
"I believe that one result of the present
fires will be to make clearer the need for
more protection," said Mr. Potter. "The de
struction of private property will doubtless
prove to have been appalling In the aggre
gate, to say nothing of the loss of life. Such
losses can be prevented only by a suf
ficiently vigorous public opinion to '"prevent
the careless starting of fires and by' "on
ganized, efficient protection of all forest
property, private, state and national.".
WALLACE SAVED BY HARD FIGHT
Loss tn Citr is Estimated at On M 11.
Hon Dollars. '
WALLACE, Idaho, Aug. 21. Daylight this
morning showed that Imminent danger of
this city's destruction has passed, but It
brought alsd confirmation of losses which
were only rumored, and suspected last
night. At' least two died In the city : fire,
John J. Boyd, a pioneer of the Couer
D'Alenes, and formerly agent for the Ore
gon 'Railroad and Navigation company, and
an unidentified man or woman, who waa
Incinerated In the Michigan hotel. Only the
skull of the latter waa found In the ruins
this morning.
Of the flreflghtlng forces, 'an accurate
toll ot the dead and wounded' Is (iulte un
available, but the known dead ' number
twenty-fouf.' the total Injured twenty.flve.
In addition to ten-blinded; by smoke."-
The steady work of the city fire depart
ment, members of the Twenty-fifth Infan
try, colored volunteers, and the forestry
forces alone saved Wallace from total de
struction. The conflagration in the east
end was stayed shortly after 11 o'clock,
and back-firing on adjoining hills to the
west and south prevented new fires In
those directions.-
Estimate of Losses.
It Is estimated that the loss in the city
is about $1,000,000. The entire eastern sec
tion from Seventh street to Canton street
is destroyed with three terraces of resi
dences on the hillside. The principal bulld
Ings burned and the estimated losses fol
low: Couer D'Alene Hardware company
warehouse. lo0,000; Bunset brewery, S0,000;
Paclflo hotel and annex, 1-60,000; Couer
D'Alene Iron Works. $80,000; Oregon
Railway , and Navigation depot, $60,000;
Times Printing company, $25,000; Worstell
Furniture company, $50,000.
About 150 residences are destroyed and
many other smaller business places. Provi
dence hospital and the Federal Lead com
pany's big mills are the only buildings
saved In the east end. The forest super
visor reports that the entire country be
tween Wallaoe and the St. John river Is
swept practically clean and that the loss
of timber Is stupendous. Fires between
Burke and Mullan threaten both towns to
night and many women and children are
being sent away.'
With daylight a relief expedition will be
organised to tco to Placer and Big creeks,
where the fire fighters' camps are located
These men have been scattered over the
country, driven hither and thither by the
flames. At War Eagle tunnel, three miles
from Wallace, six dead were found and two
ere badly burned.
Bnraea In Tnnuel.'
Five ot the dead In the tunnel had sought
refuge. They lay with their faces down tn
the water, covered with blankets, and had
died partly from the flames and partly
from suffocation.
The Injured were relieved by temporary
dressings and were brought to th
At Big creek twelve dead were recovered,
two Injured and three unfortunates who
were completely blinded. On fwi.i.r a...
found dead near Mullan and sixteen who
were more or leas seriously burned. At
Pine creek three are dead, five blinded and
five otherwise injured.
It is Impossible to loam the names of the
dead, most of whom came In from Spokane
and other points at the call of the forestry
service. The bodies are being burled wher
ever they are found. Deya and weeks may
elapse before anything like a complete esti
mate of the fatalities la available.
. Fires are still burning around the city,
but most of the hillsides facing the town
are now burned off. and unless the wind
rises the town la believed to be compara
tively safe.
Two or three hundred people are left
homeless In Wallace, many having lost
their belongings.
Marrow Earn nee.
Stories of narrow escapes and stirring ad
ventures come in with every group of weary
fighters.
In a tunnel of the old War Kagle mine on
Placer creek, seven miles from Wallace,
forty-one men under Forest Ranger, Pulaski
were packed tightly together to escape a
sheet of flame that Swept down the gulch.
They hugged the ground and burled their
faces In the mud on the floor of the tunnel
until the fire went by, when, half mad from
the heat, they threw themselves into the
creek. Five were left dead in the tunnel
and another cut off from the crew was
found burned to a cinder.
MISSOULA, Mont., Aug. 21. Mercilessly
and relentlessly the forest fires In western
Montana and Idaho are sweeping over a
vast area,- driving hundreds of fugitives
before them, destroying small settlements
and wiping out of existence millions of
dollars' worth of property.
The situation tonight Is more serious than
it was In the early morning, except at Wal
lace, Idaho, where It is believed that nearly
half of the city will be saved.
Elsewhere In the fire sune the situation
has gone from bad to worse today. The
most serious incident was reported late this
afternoon from the St. Cue country, where
ISO men engaged In the forestry service are
missing, and it I feared they have been
burned to death.
When the fire approached the camp where
there were 200 men two of the lighters took
horse, and riding the animal to death.
reached another camp and ordered a rescue
party, which penetrated the fire to Bird
creek.
Save Themselves In Water. j
Eighteen of the men were found In the
water, where they had gone for safety, and
they were not harmed. Of the remaining
IM no word has been received.. The forestrV
service has organized a relief train well
equipped with pack animals carrying pro
visions and hospital supplies and will
endeavor to get through the fire.'
About 1,000 refugees have been brought
Into Missoula today. There is much distress
among them. Their wants are belna- sud-
plled by Missoula people and they have
been given temporary hames. The first of
the trains came over the Northern Pacific's
Coeur D'Alene branch-and brought the pa
tients who had been In the Bisters hospital
at Wallace and as many refugees as could
find places on the small train. '
; There were 250 on th train and a second
train at noon brought as many more. These
people came from the small towns along
tne line between her and Wallace. Many
of them had been roused from their sleep
oy tne people on the train, whose summons
bad been the first Intimation that the fire
was hear; there had been no sign of It
when the people went to bed Saturday
night. In most Instances these people
escaped only scantily clad.
Child Horn In Box Car.
A woman who had fled from her home at
midnight gave birth to a child in a box
car Just after the arrival of the first train
at Missoula.
Local hospitals are caring for the sick.
Missoula homes have been opened freely
and the homeless are comfortable for the
present. . ., .
Another train with 600 people on board is
expected over the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ruget Sound railway. '
A dense pall of smoke hangs all over
eastern Montana. In Missoula It waa as
dark aa midnight at 6 o'clock, the dense
smoke being given a lurid hue which had
allhe semblance of the glow of fire, but
which was probably due to the sun.
; The town of Taft, near the Idaho line,
wis entire- destroyed by fire before day
light this rning.
; S&ltes, Just below Taft, has been aban-'
doned by Its lnhabltans and is known to
be surrounded by 'fire. . Deborgia Is seri
ously threatened and one man Is missing. At
St. Regis the fire has crossed the river and
threatens outlying buildings, though no
fears are entertained for the town.
Haughan Is reported to be deserted, the
last word from there being that the fire
Is dangerously near and the telephone oper
ator woe preparing to flee. The area cov
ered' Is roughly estimated at a hundred
miles square, most of it in the mountains
and sparsely settled. It Is difficult to ob
tain Information from any ot the points
and Impossible to reach seme of the lso
lated places at all. , ..

Serious Loss of Life. .
There Is a probability that there has been
serious loss of life, as there are camping
parties and lumbermen ' all through the J
mountains, and the fire may have come
Upon them while they slept last night, or
they may have been awakened this morning
to find themselves cut off.

DES MOINES, la., Aur. Z:. (sipecial Tel

nized as one of the most Important law
suits ever determined In Iowa reached one
stage In its course today when Judge Hi en
nan, In" tha district court, upheld the
authority of state and the railway com
mission in the matter of regulating ship
ments of carloads of coal In the state.
This was the case In which the Milwaukee
railroad refused to obey Hn order of the
Iowa railway commission to accept and
ship carloads of coal tendered by a Daven
port Jobber, the same having come from
Illinois In Burlington cars, the order being
to ship the same under the Iowa rates.

muxt l.t reloaded or be considered an Inter
state ehlpment clear through. The rail
way commission and the court both de
elded that the state authority commenced
as soon aa the Initial carrying c mpany
had delivered the carload at the deniza
tion first named. The plan Is to carry this
ease to the United States supremo court
for determining rights of the states.
Chief Yeasrer Cleared.
The police investigation rams to' an in
glorious end today when the city council
unanimously passed a resolution exonerat
ing Chief George Yearer for any responsi
bility for the conditions found in the city
and virtually declaring confidence in his
willingness and ability to obey the orders
of his superior In record to the enforce
ment of laws. The investigation was
started by the state Anti-Saloon league
largely with a view to determine the re
sponsibility for the failure strictly to en
force the liquor Jaws In Des Moines. A
great deal of evidence was brought out
showing a condition of affairs not the best
but on th whole nothing was shown to
prove conclusively that the police depart

Queer Complaint aa to Railroad.
The citizens of Pralriebuvn have entered
with the state railroad commission a com
plaint as to the conditions of railroad lus-
Iness there. The Chicago A Northwestern
and the Anttmosa road have a station to
gether, but the people say to the commis
sion that both roads are unloading both
freight and passengers at least sixty rods
from the station. They ask for an order
to have the trains run to the station.
More Paralysis Reported.
The State Board of Health had a report
today of a cose of infantile paralysis at
Albla, the first tn the extreme southern
part of the state. This Is a 10-year-old
child tn the home of Dr. II. C. Hyatt
Frank Branlger, the cashier of the Citizens
bank at-Waterloo, Is a victom of the
disease and a case is reported from Man
chester. lows Wigt Lower.
A remarkable fact disclosed In the report
of E. W. Van Duyn, state labor commis
sioner, is to the effect that wages In Iowa
are lower than they were. Although- the
average length- of the day of the wage
earners reporting for the past two years
was over ten hours, which was consider
ably longer than In the previous year, their
reports show an average annual compen
sation of about $100 less than before. This
is explained on the ground that the fac
tories are filling up with cheaper labor.
