visor reports that the entire country be
tween Wallace anI the St. John river Is
wept practically clean and that the Iosj
of timber Is stupendous. Fires between
Burke and Mullan threaten both towns to
night and many women and children are
being aent away.
With daylight a relief expedition will be
organised to so 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
flamea. At War Eagle tunnel, three miles
from Wallace, sly dead were found and two
were badly burned. .
Burned la Tunnel.
Five of the dead in the tunnel had sought
refuge. They lay with their faces down In
the water, covered with blankets, and had
died partly from the flames and partly
from suffocation.
The Injured were relieved by temporary
Area-sings and were brought to the hospitals.
At Big creak twelve dead were recovered,
two Injured and three unfortunates who
were completely blinded. One fighter was
found dead near Mullan and sixteen who
were more or less seriounly burned. At
Pine creek three are dead, five blinded and
five otherwise Injured. ,
It la impossible to learn 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. Days and weeks may
lapse before anything like a complete esti
mate of the fatalities is available.
Fires are still b-rnlng around the city,
but most of the hillsides facing the town
are now burned off, and unless the wind
rise the town Is believed to be compara
tively safe.
Two or three hundred people are left
homeless in 'Wallace, many having lost
their belongings.
Narrow Escapee.
Stories of narrow escapes and stirring Ad
ventures come In with every group of weary
fighter.
In a tunnel of the old War Eagle mine on
Placer creekv (even 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
aa4 another cut off from the crew was
found burned to a cinder.

Serious !, of Life.
There 1 a probability that there has been
serious loss of life, as there are camping
parties and lumbermen all through the
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.
Camas Prairie, a farming valley In the
Blackfoot country, is the scene of a seri

Missoula. The fire Is sweeping across the
valley and grain and hay are being de
stroyed. Three more resoue trains reached Mis
soula tonight from the west. The Chicago,
Milwaukee & Puget Bound ran in two of
them and the Northern Pacific one. There
were about BOO on the trains, but none In
the distress that marked earlier arrivals.
The last Northern Pacifio train brought
information that the town of Salte hud
caught fire before this train left St. Regis.
A telephone message from St. Regis, re
ceived at Missoula at 10 o'clock tonlnht,
says that the fire, swept down Mullan
gulch tonight and cut off tho towns of
Deborgla and Henderson, The Mann
Lumber cpmpany ran its lodging train
down from Henderson, bringing men and
their families after a'l valuables had been
burled. These towns doubtless will burn.
St. Regis Is threatened.. .The fire U in
a canyon and at 10 O'clock is only a mile
from town and Is approaching rapidly. The
last equipment of the' Northern Pacific In
that sectton is being used to bring away
the women and children from St. Regljj.
Most of the' men of the town were at
Deborglu, seven miles above, fighting fire
there,' and many. of them must have been
cut off.' 1 '.'.''
.The fires that have swept' around the
city of Wallace are now working; their
way ,up Canyon creek toward Burke and
eastw'ardly 'toward "Mullan; but are- not
near enougn to these towns to cause 'alarm.
The Northern Paclflo and Milwaukee
railroads have lost Important bridges. Mis
soula is tonight the western terminus of
both lines. Fires are serious in all parts
of northern Idaho and in northwestern
Montana and tho damage to railway prop
erty is chiefly, to small trestles. Overland
traffic on both lines Is indefinitely sus
pended.
The relief train that left Missoula this
morning for Mullan is held by fire at
Saltez, being unable to go farther west
and Is prevented from returning by the
destruction of a small bridge this side.
The train is well equipped and no alarm
is felt for Its occupants.
t Refugees Perilous Ride.

panions reached Missoula tonight from
Adair, a station on the Milwaukee road
about 200 mile west of Missoula. They left
I Adair yesterday morning on horseback. One

CORN CONDITION IN STATE
Cavers Grain Company Sends Out
Estimate of Crops.
"COMES BACK" IN NORTH PART
F.stlmate I that .Nebraska Will Pro.
dace 110,00(,000 Bushels of Corn
This Tear Allowance for
I. ate Corn.
C. 8. Ralnbott of the Eavers Grain comr
pony, whose business it has been to travel
around Nebraska, for several years, and
especially to observe the crops, has Just
returned after having covered practically
all the corn belt of Nebraska. He has made
a report to his company, which Is belna
circulated to the trade of the state:
"The following estimate Is based on per
sonal observation, supplemented by in
formation from grain dealers, farmers and
people generally In all parts of the state,
"West of Minden, Kearney, Ravenna and
Palmer the corn was badly damaged by
drought and two days of hot wind, and la
almost a failure. However, It should be
remembered that this territory Is on the
western limit of the corn belt and produces
only a limited amount of corn.
Bad Spots in South Platte.
"South of Platte river there are locali
ties where the corn "was materially dam
aged and the crop will be light, while
there are other parts of this territory
where it is better than last year and will
make a reasonably good crop, having been
saved by local showers. Tho ruins being
strictly local during the whole summer un
til the recent general rain makes It Impos
sible to separate the good from the bad by
any general division of territory. In com
parison with 1H9 It should be remembered
that last year's crop was very light In some
parts of the South Platte territory.
"North of Platte river the corn was not
damaged by hot winds, but it's develop
ment was retarded to some extent by
drought, but it ha 'come back' and is con
tinuing to 'come lyick' and Is making a
good average crop, and In some parts, espe
cially the northeast corner of the state, a
'bumper' crop. Considerable replanting was
done In this territory and. therefore, some
is late and Its development will depend
on the weather conditions from now until
frost.
"Tho lack of pollenizatlou so much talked
about Is simply a scare and a myth, with
out any foundation in the North Platte ter
ritory. "It is the writer's best Judgment that
Nebraska will produce at leaMt 166.OUO.000
bushels, as against 194,000,000 In 1909.
"In making this estimate due allowance
is made for the late corn. Therefore, if
the remainder of the season is warm and
favorable and if it is not damaged by early
frosts, the above estimate should be in
creased. In fact, condition might be such
from now on that the crop might equal ot
exceed that of 1909."
