From the Associated Press dis
patches We learn that the Northwest
has been visited this year by some
of the worst forest fires ever known.
Even ships on Lake Michigan have
been delayed in sailing owing to the
large amount of smoke across the
lake, thus hinderibg vessels in their
course.
Several towns in Wisconsin,, Min.
nesota, and few in Michigan have
been swept from the face of the
earth. 1t is estimated that about
800 people have persisted within
the past few, days, and that the mum.
Der will be larger when q more de-
tailed account is known.
:Hinckley, Mimi, is the ,mostun.
fortunate thus far. The towns of
Riblake, Mareno and Bradshaw,

cut. HUNDRED people or more are.
homeless at Curtis, MINI.
Reliefztrains have been sent from
Minneapolis and St. Paul, Mimi,
