Were Employees of Elk Lumber Com.
pany of Fernie.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-E. w. Stees of

ests there and at Fernie, is In this

Cranbrook, B. c., Aug. 4.-The most
destructive conflagration in the his

desolation and suffering. Already
more than a hundred lives have been
lost, hundreds of persons have been
injured and thousands, homeless and
destitute, have been forced to flee for
their lives before the relentless on.
rush of the fire. Property valued at
more than $5,000,000 has been de.

side in an ever widening line. The
long list of fatalities is increasing
steadily. Reports of death, disaster
and suffering are coming in from
every quarter. Few of those who es-
capped with their lives saved any of
their belongings and the store of food
in towns which thus far have escaped
destruction must be conserved care

SENTIMENT VERY BULhSH
Reports From the Northwest Say Con-

Up With the Heat-Corn and Oats
Prices Affected by the Excitement
In the Wheat Pit.


Chicago, Aug. 4.-Scorching hot
weather throughout the corn belt and
the Dakotas and Minnesota threw the
board of trade into wild excitement
and sent the price of wheat and
produce soaring skyward. Wheat ad-
vanced nearly 8 cents bushel and
produce showed almost an equally
sharp bulge in price. Bullish senti-
ment in wheat, which has been deyel-
oping recently as the result OF black
rust" reports from the Northwest,
broke out with intense vigor on the
receipt of a dispatch from Minneap-
oils which claimed that the BLACK
rust is worse than in 1904 and that
the crop is simply burning up with
the heat"
The advance in corn was heleped
along by dispatch which stated that
the corn crop in Central Illinois has
begun to fire." owing to excessively
high temperatures.
Extreme bullishness marked the
trading at the opening and initial quo
tations on wheat and corn showed
wide fluctuations, prices ranging from
trife below the previous days close
to nearly 2 cents a bushel above.
After a little reaction. owing to profit
taking, prices again started upward
until the gain in wheat had almost
reached cents In the new crop

May delivery went to 65B and Dec. to
653s cents, gain of PA cents in each
case. Sept. corn sold up to 769s
cents.
Oats were bullishly affected by the
sudden rise in the price of wheat and
corn, but the advance in that grain
was less marked.

BURNED FORTY-EIGHT HOURS
Confiagration the Worst in the His
tory of Canada.

Winnipeg, Man, Aug. 4.-The most
dreadful coniagration in the history
of Canada has swept the Elk river
valley in East Kootenai. For forty
miles a tremendous bush fire has
burned everything before it. 1t has
held full and terrible sway for forty
eight hours.
Estimates are that perhaps $50 peo-
pie have met death in the flames.
The following places have been de-
stroyed: Fernie, with population of
$500; Coal Creek, with a population
of 1900; Michel, with fifty inhab-
itants, and Hosmer. with fifty inhab
itants. The homeless will number
over six thousand.
The fatalities are growing hourly.
In one case five families at Fernie
were hemmed in and every soul per-
ished. At least seventy lives We're
lost in Fernie.
The Crows Nest Pass Coal company
has $l,000,000 in property at Coal
Greek, which is reported destroyed.
The disaster is unequalled in the
history of Western Canada. in that
entire section of the country the rail-
ways and bridges are swept away.
Ten cottages, the coal Offices, the
Western Canada grocery and the Coal
company's new warehouse are all that
remain of Fernie. Within fifteen min
utes of the time the fire broke out in
the city the place was mass of
sweeping flames.
