Duluth, Mimi, Sept. S.-Forest fires
which have beeu raging for several
days. tonight threating Hibbing, the
largest and most prosperous town on the
mesoa range. 1t has between ten and
twelve thousand population. The flames
nave been getting closer constantly.
Every place of business is closed and
the men are all out fighting the flames.
A telegram from Hibbing says: ''The
flre is very near the Great Northen spur
on our direction
In response to an appeal the Duluth
flre department has gone to the scene.
while the Mesba Railroad has trains in
readiness at Hibbing to take the people
away.
Smoke from the fires surrounding
the town makes Hibbing so dark that the
electric lights are burning during the
day. 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 this
afternoon, but the wind is now blowing
the fire in the opposite direction. The
schools and business houses are closed
and everyone is preparing to flee.
Grand Marias, Mimi, a village of
about 500 inhabitants on the north shore
IS on the verge of the fire. The women
are weeping with fright, and there is no
avenue of escape open.
Many settlers may be forced to take
refuge in the waters of Lake Superior.
A frantic appeal for help was sent to
Duluth today by the steamer ANA.
which brought down many of the set
tiers. The UnitedStztes steamship Go
pher with two companies of the naval
reserve left for the north shore this af
ternoon with provisions and will pick up
all settlers found along the shores of the
lake.

his camp. and with his party escaped to
Grand Marais in a launch Settlers are
walking into Grand Marais, smoke-be-
grimed, burned and exhausted, with
packs of their belongings and their fam
lilies. When Mr.. Smith left the fate of
Grand Marais was in doubt. The citizens
were loath to leave their homes without
making fight for them, so many of
them remained behind.
Mr.. Smith says that an east wind
would bring on the destruction of Grand
Marais within an hour and no power
could save the town. If the fire comes
before boat gets there, the fate of the
population will be in doubt.
There has been no rain in this part
of the fire-striken county for four
weeks.
