deavoring to leave the town by every
possible conveyance. Trains are be-
ing made up of box cars.
The entire east side of town is in
flames, including the new Worstell

gan Hotel"
Also both the old and new Oregon
and Navigation Company's depots,
Pacific and Coeur D'Alene hotels and
many other buildings. Dynamite is
being used in an attempt to break
the progress Of the flames. The

that no accurate information is OBJ
tainable.
All electric lights are out nd The

a roar the fire swept the southwest
slopes and rushed down the Wallace
