OVER 100 LIVES LOST.
Big Area Of Settling Mass of Flames
More Towns are Threatened.

Winnipeg, Aug. 2.-AS a result of
brush fires that started yesterday and
still rage for many miles. Fernie, b. c.,
is wiped off the map, Michael, IA miles
distant. is in flames, and the fate of
Hosmer, Olsen and Sparwood, interview
ing towns, is in doubt as they are cut
off from communication.
More than 100 lives are reported to
have been lost. "A of them in Fernie A
territory 100 square miles in extent is
a seething mass of flames. Through 1t
are scattered hundreds of lumbermen
and prospectors, SO that the actual loss
of life will not be known for days.
Much property of the Canadian Pacific
and the Great Northern Railways Is
destroyed including bridges and roll
ing stock burned, so that it is impos-
sible to enter or leave the burning
area. Inhabitants of the affected towns
have fled to the open country to seek
safety. Railway companies have placed
all available trains at the disposal of
the refugees and unless there is a
change of wind within the next "a
hours, the whole of the Crows Nest
Pass county will be abandoned to the
flames.
There is no possibility of estimating
the loss of life and property which VIII
| result, for these flames are driven by
a half gale, making it impossible to
put up fight against their advance
The confiagration is the greatest which
has ever visited Canada.
