Lieut.. Clark and Tredway. carrying
lines from the boat, fought their way
through the breakers and swimming
from house to house in the flood water,
saved the lives of about 100 men. wom-
en- and children. So thorough was their
work that all but six of those living

Crops May Be Lost.
1t is reported that many were drowned
at llagan and that the town was almost
entirely destroyed. 1t is feared that the

the islands. The principal supply and
the best quality of Philippine tobacco is
grown in the Cagayan district where two
plantations report serious damage.
Up to the present time there has been
no communication established with other
sections where the condition of the crop
is of more importance.

GALE AT $500" CONTINUES.
Rouses Fires to Renewed Fury and Poo
pie Are Fleeing.


SAULT STE. MARIE, Oct. 21.-
Especial. There is no letup to the gale
from the southeast which was stronger
than ever at daybreak, rousing the for
est fires to renewed fury. Detour re-
ports q dozen vessels III the harbor I'M
able to leave on account of the wind. No
boats have arrived from down river
since yesterday to bring reports from
Whitefish point, which was surrounded
when last heard from. Fires have brok-
en- out on Drummond island, sweeping
away timber. Raber, Gainesville and Ce-
darville are reported filled with refugees
from the woods. Sugar island reports
several buildings burned, including many
cottages along shore. There is no sign
of relief, the promised rain not having
come. William Bacons sawmiH at
Pickford took fire early this morning
from sparks from the woods. 1t was
totally destroyed.
Near Donaldson at least forty square
miles are burned over. The fire is run
ming rapidly, and cannot be checked un-
til rain comes. James Fuller. who re-
turned today from Sugar island says
that up to 10 o'clock the northern end
of the island is safe. The Mckinney
mill which was reported burned last
night is still safe, the fire at least a
mile away. Fuller said he could not see
what the conditions were on the lower
end Of the island because of the smoke.
Reports from Lake Superior say that
last night the view from the decks of
vessels was one of grandeur. For fifty
miles along the shore the flames rose
80 to 100 feet and seemed to extend
back from the lake for miles. Telephone
messages from the southern part of the
county at 10 o'clock say the fires are be-
yond control, and the progress of the
flames will be limited only by the amount
of timber which is left in their path.
John Stegman, president of the North
ern Timber company, has just returned
FROM the country around Pickford and
says conditions in the woods are be-
yond description.

young teacher marshaled her pupils in a
double row, the largest at the head and
ordered them to remain in close order
and not to break the line. She then di-
rected the leaders to head for plowed
field near by and the column started on
Il run. Miss Barber bringing up the rear
to prevent struggling.
Burning embers fell thick, but the
teacher kept the children crowded close
together and every ember was extln-
guished the instant it fell upon any
child's clothing. The fire burned steadi-
~ for some time as the blaze from the
tops. OF the trees ate its way down.
Animals Creep In.
Soon animals beg&- to appear upon
the edge of the field and during the night
two bears made their appearance. A
fox came Sinking in, as did also a wild
cat, rabbits, cartridges and other game.
But the animals kept well away from the
children, not even the bears offering hos
tile demonstrations. Miss Barber kept
her charges in the field all Thursday
night and in the morning sent them home
in groups, plotting the smaller ones her
self.
