LIVES IN COEUR D. ALENE
One Party of Seventy-Four Men
Not Accounted For

WALLACE, Idaho, Aug. 24.-Unit-
ed States Forest Supervisor 7. r.
Weigle has just issued a statment
that 11S of his forest employees have
been killed, as follows:
At Grand Forks, thirty; Boulder
Creek, one; Avery, twelve; Big Creek,
thirteen; Placer Creek, six; Pine
Creek, two; Setter Creek, twenty;
Bullion Mine, eight; Rock Creek, tWen-
ty-two.
The missing party under Joseph B.
Hahn, a deputy ranger of Wallace, is
composed of "A men. If these are
dead the Coeur d. Alene national for
est will have suffered loss of 1872 men.
When the roll of the Occur d. Alene
forest employees was called in the Of
flee of Supervisor w. r. Weigle today
all of the men were accounted for
except Hahn and his men. This
crew had performed excellent work
and Ham was seen last with his
crew north of the big fork of the
Coeur d. Alene river, in a district that
was burned over Saturday night.
Grave fears for the safety of the crew
are felt.
BRINGING OUT BODIES
A party of rangers are opening a
road from the Bullion mine to Wal
lace in order that the bodies of eight
men who perished at the mine may
be brought here for burial.
Deputy Ranger Edward G. Pulaski
of Wallace, whose name has been
mentioned frequently in the fire dis
patches for his bravery, lies on a
cot in the Hope hospital, blinded in
one eye and severely burned on the
face and hands.
When the twenty-four men who were
imprisoned in the Bullion mine tun-
mel abandoned hope of escape, they
prepared to die manfullly. They
changed shifts, so that some might
hold a blanket over the mine hole
while the others prayed for forgive
ness of their sins and wrote farewell
messages on scraps of paper to loved
ones. All prayed, though some had
not done so since childhood.
The letters written by the eight men
who succumbed will be sent to the
persons to whom they are addressed.
The notes written by the survivors
have been returned to them.
The party was in charge of Edward
E. Hale, who wrote pathetic goodby
message to his mother, Mrs. c. A.
Hale of Kimball avenue, Chicago, but
he was saved.
Joseph B. Hahn, the missing deputy
ranger, was a famous all-round ath-
lete at the Washington state college
at Pullman, Wash, few years ago
He excelled in running and was also
a noted baseball pitcher.

RAILWAYS PREPARING
TO RUSH REPAIR WORK
Trains with Supplies Will EStab-
IiSh New Camps

MISsOULA, Mont, Aug. 24.-Thee
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
railroad officials have started tour
trains toward the fire district on the
Bitter Root mountains, and these
trains will be used to replace camps
provision them and rebuild such por-
tions of the road as have been de-
stroyed. Before the end of the week
the track between the level country
and the Bitter Root summit will be IN
a fair condition for operation.
The railroad company has estap-
lished permanent wire communicating
between Missoula and Haughan, ana

The Northern Pacific is also carrying
out an elaborate program for the re-
pairing of it's damaged line between
St Regis and Wallace. Tralnloads OF
supplies and repairing machinery are
being made ready and Will be sent
from here as required.
The Northern Pacitic'S IS brldge,
structure several hundred feet long,
and the Carbon Hill bridge have been
completely destroyed. 1t is in the
damage sustained to the Dorsey tun-
mel, however. that the local officials
are most interested: This bore Is a
long one and is Wood-lined throughout.
An estimate of the damage is i'm
possible at this time, but 1t is known
that both portals have been DESTROYED
and that some Of the interior has
caVed in.

Puget Sound railway reports that all
the refugees who found shelter in the
st. Paul pass tunnel and tunnel No

places in the hills which will be avail
able while the forces in charge Of the

lated. In the St. Paul pass there Is
also an ample supply of spring water.

dius of one mile on Setser creek yester-
day by a searching party headed by

beyond recognition. Only two bodies
could be identified-those of Patrick
Groggan and G. A. Blodgett, both of

union card.
Not a trace remained of the rangers
camp. Even the fish in the creek had
been killed by the heat.

the woods near Avery last night, Sc
verely burned, and stated that they
were the only survivors of a party OF
twelve who had been engaged in fight
ing the forest fires In an effort to save
the property of their employer, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
railroad, the others having been burned
to death.
The four negro soldiers of company
G. Twenty-fifth infantry, who went
into the woods to fight fire last week

penters at work in the reconstruction
of it's burned bridges. Work was be-
gun from the Montana end. For forty
miles through Idaho the railroad lost
