mated loss in timber was about A.
100000 feet board measure, and in
money over $10,000,0 900. Several hun

property, in addition to many humid
red thousand acres of valuable tim
Der, was more than 81, 300 600. Over
5000 persons were made destitute,
and the number of lives lost is var
iously estimated at from $50 to 500

recent years was that which started
near Hinckley, Minnesota, September
l, 1894. While the area burned over
was less than in some other great
fires, the loss of life and property
was very heavy. Hinckley and six
other towns were destroyed, about 500
lives were lost, more than 1000 per-
sons were left destitute, and the
estimated loss in property of various
kinds was $25,O00,000. Except for
the heroic conduct of locomotive en-
gineers and other railroad men the
loss of life would have been much
greater
This fire was all the more depora-
bic, because it was wholly unneces-
sary. For many days before the high
wind came and drove it into uncon-
trollable fury, it was burning slowly
close to the town of Hinckley, and
could have been put out
