SETTLERS FIGHTING FOR LIFE

Over 600 Penned In BY Fire at Grand
Marais and Battling to subdue the
Flsmes-Women Are Frantic With
Fright-All Business Houses at Hib-
bing Closed and the Men All Out
Fighting the Fire-Day Is Dark AS
Night and the Heat From Flames
Oppressive.
Duluth. Mimi, Sept. 9.-Forest fires
which have been raging for several
days threaten Hibbing, the largest and
most prosperous town In the Mesaba
range. The flames have been getting
closer constantly. Every place Of busl-
ness is closed and the men are all out
fighting the flames. A telegram from
Hibbing says:
"The fire is very near the Great
Northern spur on this side Of Brook
lyn. suburb of Hibbing and the
wind IS blowing in our direction.
THE city has all available hose out
and every man we can find is fighting
the fire. They have established a
pipe line and instilled two pumps. The
sky Is clearing of smoke somewhat
now. but we are threatened on the
north"
In response to an appeal the Duluth
fire department has gone to the scene
while the Mesaba railroad has trains
in readiness at Hibbing to take the
people away.
Smoke from the forest fires which
surround the town makes Hibblng so
dark that the electric lights have been
turned on there in the day 10 enable
the citizens 10 see their way about
The smoke Is sitting and the heat
very oppressive Unless the wind
changes. Coleraine and Bovey will be
safe.
According TO late advices from these
towns the situation looked serious. but
the wind is now blowing the fire in an
opposite direction from the towns. The
schools and business houses are all
closed and everyone is prepared to
fee.
Grand Marais Mimi, on the north
shore. is on the verge Of the fire. The
women are weeping with fright, anc
the worst part OF the situation is that
there is no avenue Of escape open. and
over coo settlers are fighting for their
lives. AL J. Smith. county attorney
of Hennepin county. who has been
camping beyond Grand Marais. was
burned out at his camp. and with his
party escaped to Grand Marais in a
launch. Settlers are walking into
Grand Marais. smoke begrimed. burn
ed and exhausted. with packs of their
most valuable belongings on their
backs and their families dragging be-
hind them.
When Mr.. Smith left the fate Of
Grand Marais was in doubt. The citl-
zens were loath to leave their homes
and belongings without making a
fight for them. so many of them re
malned behind.
Mr.. Smith says that an east wind
would bring on the destruction OF
Grand Marais in an hour and no power
can save the town. II a fire comes be-
fore a boat gets there. the fate Of the
population will be in doubt
There has been no rain in part OF |
the fre-stricken country for fourteen |
weeks.

TRADING IS VERY QUIET
By THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York, October 0.-(Special) )-For once the bank statement today was de- cidedly cheerful feature of the day in wall street. It showed a loss in surplus reserves of over s7,0o0.O00. There was an increase of about $12,ooo.00 in loans and a decrease of s7,oo0.0OO in deposits. This means that there Is some use for money outside of Wall street and it was about time something was done somewhere by business men to Justify the strength of the stock market. Trading was very quiet on the exchange throughout the session and prices were as good and in most cases little better, than at the close of business and strong undertone was maintained up to the close, about the only selling being on the part of professionals who feared fresh complica- tions in Europe over Sunday. London was strong consols rising b-16 of point.
 Cotton wes about 50 cents bale high CT as a result Of the days operations.
 Grain was not materially changed. Mining stocks were very dull but Cobalt Central made a new high record and Co., slonial advanced.

For three days apprehension was felt in all the markets of the world In New York the important bankers hao assurances that their would be no actual war hut the general public refused to accent these assurances at par value.
