Vancouver, B. G., Aug. 5-The
lterribly destructive forest fires
which have swept through the Crows
Nest district OF the INK nver valley
in British Columbia since last Sat
urday, devastating vast stretch
OF territory destroying many hves
and millions OF dollars OF property
wiping out entire towns and render
ing thousands OF persons homeless
are still raging but are now sweep
ing a wild and spsrsely settled coun-
try and 1t is believed the worst is
over.
1t is impossible ut this time to
arrive at a summary OF the situation
as regards less OF life and property
with ever, approximate correctness.
SO widespread has been the destruc-
tion and so scattered are the peo-
pie who lived in the burned area OF
more than 80 miles in length and
three miles in width. that any esti-
mate oi the number who met death
IN the flames is nothing more than
guess work, Stories OF missing set
tiers arc coming from Fernie, Gran
brook, Michel Hosner and other
places. but many of these have
turned up at some point lar from
aheIr original habitation and 1t is
not believed the death list will ex-
coed 50 names
The property loss has been very
esrat, but this, too. is difficult to
estimate comeotly. A conservative
valuation win probably place tho
amount at $6,OOO,O00 or S7,OOG'0oO
Several thousand persons have been
rendered homeless, principally resi-
dents OF Errn!e. which, according to
All accounts, Is almost completely

habitants stood.
