Fire Burning Eastward.

Fernie, B. C-Amid the smoking
embers of their homes and Offices with
The great forest fire still raging in the
distance. the plucky men of Fernie
are clearing away the ruins, pitching
tents. checking up the missing and
announcing plans to build a new and
better town where the hot ashes of
old Fernie lie today.
The great wave of fire is still roll
ing eastward through the forest fol-
lowing the lines of the Canadian Pa
cific Railroad. In some places. its
path is only a mile wide, in others,
three miles. Nothing can stop it. APP
parently, until the rain falls, and that
may be days or weeks.
Michel, 30 miles from Fernie, is the
town in greatest danger now, but that
town still stands and as the wind has
fallen il has a good chance of escap-
ing.
Fifteen box cars. loaded with wom-
en- and children. have been taken
from Michel TO Colon, Blairmore and
other points. The men have stayed
to fight for their homes.
The town of Hosmer. between Fer
ME and Michel, was in great danger
Sunday some dwellings having been
burned, but the main part of the town
was saved and will probably escape
unless stronger wind arises.
While the number of dead at Fer
ME may not be definitely known for
days. It is not believed to be so great
as was at first feared Up to p. m
Sunday only four bodies have been
found in the town, those victims hay-
ing been smothered by the dense
smoke. Considering the fact that at
times it was impossible for man to
outrun the flames. it is believed the
loss of life was remarkably small.
Such was the force of the fiery tor
nado that one frame building 20 feet
long, was picked up. carried across
several lots and dropped into the mid
de of the main street.

At the hospital. an examination of
the wound was made and it was stat

injury to one lung which may prove
