GRAND MARAlS PARTLY DE.
STRoYED AND OTHER TOWNS
SEEM DOOMED.
The REFUGEES SEEK LAKE
Hundred of Families Made Homeless
by Forest Blaze Flock to Shore
PLANS for Relief Un-
der Way.

Duluth, Minn.-With Grand Marias,
a town of 1900 on the north
shore, partly destroyed, and Beaver
Bay, eighty miles away, also attacked
by the flames. and a dozen smaller
towns in peril, it is apparent Saturday
that unless rain comes within AZ hours
the entire forest fire swept district is
doomed to total destruction.
Among the larger places in peril are
C~oleraine, Bovey, Nashawauk, Marble,
Hibbing, Buhl, Big Bay, Chicago Bay,
Grafton, Aurora, Mountain Iron, Rem
shall, Fort William, Ont; Hymers,
Ont; Port Arthur, Ont; Cascade and
NutSon.
The Great Northern, Northern Pa
cific and all state railroads have fire
trains out fighting to save property
along the lines and protect bridges
and stations. 1t is a battle in which
all a~ble-bodied men throughout the
threatened territory are taking a hand
and hundreds are neal exhaustion as
a result of the weeks struggle.
Steamer Gives Aid.
The Gopher, the Minnesota training
ship, Friday night succeeded in re-
moving many refugees from Grand
Marais. The steamer America, in re-
Spouse to an appeal from Gov. John
son, has gone to Beaver Bay to bring
away the people there. There is 49,
tie hope Of saving these towns.
The entire north shore is alive with
wild animals of all descriptions, driven
out by the flames. Residents Of small
settlements also have deserted their
homes and fed to the lake for pro-
lection.
The night scene along the shore was
awe-inspiring as seen from the water,
according to rescuers who were on
the Gopher. For a distance Of more
than a hundred miles the flames ap-
pear to be almost continuous. The
roar of the fire can be heard for miles.
Great trees are suddenly enveloped in
flames, the fire rushing up balsams
with a swish like a gigantic rocket.
The great peat beds of northern Min
nesota are all ablaze.
Even while the flames are at work
provisions are being made as rapidly
as possible to relieve the sufferers. In
response to Gov. Johnson's appeal
$4,000 has been raised by the Duluth
committee for the homeless refugees.
The supply OF provisions and clothing
now seems to be ample. Similar re-
lief measures are being taken in all
the cities throughout the state not at,
fected by the forest fires.
