MANYL|VES
LOST IN FIRES
The Forests in the North
west Swept by Flames.
Men, Women and Children
Burned to Death.
Deaths May Reach as High
as Four Hundred.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Oct. TO-
Latest reports of the forest fires in
the Rainy River region of Minnesota
tonight increase the horrors of the
situation il not the number OF lives
lost. Estimates of the number of
persons killed range from seventy
five to 400 tonight. Several con-
servative business men of business
and authority place the deaths at
more than 10Qk But the greater con-
Germ for the psssent is the rescue of
the homeless men, women and chill
drsn.
Stories of wild animals fleeing for
safety, side by side with human be-
ings, their natural hostility and fear
quenched by the horror of their sit
uation, came in to-day, showing the
desperateness of the situation. Tales
also came of mothers burned to
death with their babes on the breast
and strong men burned while en-
deavoring to shield their children.
"It's--down there" said Engi-
neer Smith, Of the Duluth Express
to-day, when reporter swung into
the cab after the train passed the
fire zone.
His train took many refugees from
the scene of the conflagration to
Winnipeg.
IF the fire keeps on the way it
is now there will be mighty little
left of the population of that part
of Minnesota" he added.
'sThe flames have quieted down a
little, but it only needs a puff of
wind to cause it to renew it's fury.
There Is one good things, however,
1t cannot come near the railway lines
again, for all the timber in that
section is burned away For miles
there were larre tracts of bush, it
is now as level as the prairie.
Everything is wiped out The
fire went at such terrific rate that
it burned everything before it. There
has not been a forest fire in that part
of the country for so long that the
earth is peaty, and when tree was
blown down it began to burn even
to the roots and the earth around
the roots. A special train with ma
chinery and workmen is going over
the entire system, Strengthening all
the bridges on the Canadian North
ern road.
Many of the bridges over which
we have had to go have been slight
ly charred, but the strength of them
has not been seriously hurt.
From where l was in the engine
it seemed that every mill In the
country had been burned, except |
that of the Shevlin-Mathieu Com |
pany, which is safe. All the lumber |
in the yards, however, was burned.
When we passed through all the |
timber near the track had been burn
ed and was merely smoldering. We
came through at O'Clock in the
morning and small red flames from
the smoldering mass of logs looked
like a real picture of the inferno
through the clouds of smoke which
-eeled across the path of the engine.
"AIl the ties of the roads have been
.harred and the country is level with
he tracks. We stopped every little
while to take on some people, but
most of them stopped off just out
Tide of the danger zone, so that they
.ould Immediately go back to what
vas left of their homes after the
ire has subsidized.
