sin Central road il is impossible to move

featuring town of 2, 500. has been destroyed

of Phillips, says that 500 women and chill
dren are in the woods near Phillips with
out shelter. The train that started from

as the bridges are destroyed. Communi-
cation with Fifield is now shut off, and it
is feared that that town is also on fire.
Along the Omaha line the fires are rag
ing with terrible ferceness Shores

SLOGAN ALL ABLAZE.
The People Homeless, Hungry
and Destitute.
SEVERAL LIVES PROBABLY LOST.
Trees, Towns and Mine Buildings De-
veursd - Unprecedented Forest
Fires In Northern Wisconsin,.

SPOKANE July PA Spokesman special
from kaslo. 3. c.. says: Losses so far re-
ported from the awful forest fires ragin &
through the mountains OF this section ag-
gregste about SIS. COO The people of the
SLOGAN district are left destitute. without
shelter or food. A relief party has left
here, but 1t is feared there will be great
suffering before it pushes its way through
the burning forests
Fires had been burning around the H.
lated towns for several days, but about
noon Wednesday q roaring gale swept
down the mountain, lifting high in the
air the tops and limbs of burning trees
and carrying them long distances as
brands to start new fires in thousand
different places Almost instantaneously
dozen fires were raging in Three Forks.
The terror-sfricken people had to lse
for their lives, leaving everything
behind them. The proprietor OF laundry
and bath house and his wife jumped into
the creek and rolled down stream until
they reached place of shelter. As Bear
Lake. Mr.. Mahoney, who kept hotel, with
his wife and two children waded out into
the waters of the lake and remained there
for hours. 1t is almost certain that a
number OF lives have been lost among the
prospeetors. The total loss at Three
Forks is about $65, 900; at Watson about
$4,000; at Bear Lake SIS. 900.
IL is feared that Callahan, telegraph
operator at Watson. and Frank Price, VINO
was on the north fork of Carpenter creek,
have persisted. The line of the fire is
twenty-five miles long and the damage to
valuable timber is enormous. The build
ings st the Tam 0'Shanter mine and the
Bluebell mine were burned.
At Kaslo alarm is felt for the safety of
the town. A big fire has been burning on
the lake shore within quarter of a mile
of town.

steamer to San Francisco.
SAN FRASoIsco, July 2T.-Fred w. Con-
ner. formerly connected with the Mil-
waukee railroad, was today appointed
general agent of the Oregon Rail-
way g. Navigation Company in this
city. and the company is to open
an office in San Francisco within few
days for the transaction of freight and
passenger business. W. III. Hurlbu-t, gen.
eraI passenger agent Of the company, has
been in town for the past few days making
arrangements for the new deal, and the
Southern Pacific Will find a new rival in
the field. The Oregon Railway & Naviga-
ton Company has been until recently
portion of the Union Pa
cific system. but the appointment
of separate receiver for the
Oregon Railway Il Navigation Company a
few days ago throws the latter road upon
its own resources, and it will henceforth
have TO fight for the traffic which the
Southern Pacific has been permitted to
monopolize if it intends to maintain an
existence.
1t is an open secret that the Union
Pacific is bound by a contract with
the Southern Pacific to handle no
California freight by way of Port
land. 1t has always been handled
by the two roads by way of Ogden,
and the steamers plying between
Portland and San Francisco have
only hauled freight as they could
pick up 1t between those points.
Now the O. r. a. n. Co. is free to compete
for that business. which 1t is now prepar-
ing to do, as it can offer through service
from San Francisco via Portland to ST.
Paul and Chicago.
