TOWNS ARE IN GREAT DANGER
LACK OF WIND ALL THAT PRE-,
VENTS BIG FOREST FIRES ON
THE RANGE.

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 21.-The lack of
wind is the only thing that now pre-
vents possible reign of terror from
forest fires on the Mesaba and Verm1i-
lion ranges.
The Mesaba range is a veritable
furnace as a result of the fires that
have spread and are still spreading
over the parched surface OF ground
and swamps, and heat and smoke are
almost uncomfortable Millions of dol
lars worth of property in towns and
mines are in peril and the danger
hangs solely upon the direction and
force that the wind may take at any
time.
The people at various points are
engaged at backfiring and taking other
measures to prevent the encroachment
of the fires upon their towns or upon
mining properties, but rain is the only
thing that offers safety, and there is
none in prospect
The greatest apprehension is felt
in the newer towns, about which the
brush and forest still stand In close
proximity. While the fires encroach
on the outlying districts of the older
towns, such as Hibbing, Virginia and
Eveleth, and if the conditions were
right would do extensive damage, they
are not in such danger as Sparta and
Alborn on the Western Mesaba and
the new towns and mining locations
On the western end of the range.
Fear is felt for many of the home
steaders north of the Mesaba range.
