been sent to Cranbrook and F.iko; 1900

all the people 1t could carry up the line,

of families were separated. husbands not

Known in That Section.

CranbrOok, B. c., Aug. 3.-The most
destructive coniiagration in the history
of Canada is sweeping the Elhs river
valley, leaving in it's path death and
desolation and suffering. Already more
than 100 lives have been lost. hundreds
of persons have been injured and thou
sands, homeless and destitute, have
been forced to flee for their lives before

area, while half a dozen smaller towns
have been erased from the landscape
as completely as if they never existed.
The railroad, the only means OF cOmmil-
Mica ton left to the stricken country,
now is seriously threatened with de-
struction. Many bridges have been
burned and the movement of trains, by
which fire fighters, fire refugees and
provisions are transported from one
point to another, is being carried on
with the greatest difficulty and dan
ger.
An eye witness having seen the re-
suits of the fire at Fernie, says:
The damage cannot fall short of

Canadian Pacific Railway. The Trites

first explosion which shook every
building in the vicinity the 250 men

mors that three men hemmed in by
flames had been unable to get away.
Eighty-1ive engine companies and
three fire tugs had all they could do to
confine the contlagration to its original

effort to save the elevators hopeless.
