reports from the Chippewa fire districts were
received from several woodsmen who arrived
from Deer Tail, an important feeder OF the

airesh in a number OF localities on the Upper
Chippewa since Tuesday and are raging lear
fully. OF the escaped territory 10 far are the
tracts along the Deer Tail toward the Sault Ste

and wndfalls, which will offer the most com-
bustible food for the flames, which are expected
10 reach that locality In a day or two. The set
tiements are sparse in ahat direction, and the
loss will be confined To standing pine and hem
lock. On Yellow river, 40 miles northeast OF
here, the fires have done irreparable damage.

quantity OF lumber The fires having their
