Call for Aid.
Special by United Press Wire.

Rainey River, Ont, Oct TO-
Urgent calls for aid were sent from
! here today in hope of getting the
forest fires under control. Forest
fires are raging north of the ruined
, towns of Pitt, Beaudette and Spoon
er. Sixty charred corpses have been
recovered and seventy-five persons
are known to have perished, while
2,000 are missing The total number
of dead from the towns destroyed is
estimated today as from 200 to 500.
Many of those missing are believed to
have, sought refuge in the many viii
Islages In this section But it is ad-
| mitted many must have perished.
The towns of Spragns, Manitoba
and Warroad, Mimi, are directly in
the path OF the flames and only few
miles away from them. The refugees
in these towns are exhausted and
weakened from exposure and hard
ships, and many will be unable to
fee farther should the flames sweep
down upon them.
Loss from the fires, even II stopped
today, would probably amount to at
least 100000 to lumber and pri-
yate property. Relief trains are be-
ing pushed to the scenes of the fires,
with fire apparatus.
Sections of Rainey River caught
fire, but are under control today.
Physicians are hurrying here from
within hundreds of miles to care for
the injured. Whole families have
been barned to death.
In .ition to the destruction of the
tor Of Beaudotfe, spooner. Pitt and
Gi iaceton, In Minnesota, already re-
ported in these dispatches, the town
of Pitt, in Ontario, was wiped out
with loss of sevente lives.
The town Of Roosevelt, Mimi, also
is menaced by the flames. Fourteen
dead bodies have been found on the
railroad track between there and Rainy
River, the panic stricken people being
too busy looking after their own safe
ty to look after their dead. Near
Roosevelt a woman was found with
young child beside her. Both were
dead and the woman was burned to
cinder.
Swift, Williams and Cedar Spur are
in great danger. All the women and
children are being rapidly removed to
PietNCfs VI 4Spl
ern railway has stationed trains at
every station at the service of the peo-
pie.
All the people of Warroad had their
valuables ready to board a Canadian
train, which was waiting.
In Rainy River the fire extended
half mile. Already saw mill, TO-
100000 feet of lumber, -four mill and
fifty residences had been destroyed.
Although the women and children
were ready to drop from fatigue they
were packing ready to leave while the
men fought the fire. Many persons
took refuge on the steamers Empress,
Five Roses and Wapiti ready to leave.
The heat was so intense that people
were dropping in the streets.
The recently installed water works
system had done much to delay thef
flames, but the velocity of the wind
was so great that burning embers were
carried long distances, often to light
on some unprotected wooden building.
The town is built almost entirely Of
wood.

Department Also Feels
Need of Automobile
Patrol Service Again

The drowning of Joseph Cohen. a
Wilmington hide dealer in the White
Clay creek on Monday and the incon-
yenience to which the police are put
in investigating the case and search
ing for the body, has again brought
up the need Of. police patrol boat.
Some time ago some of the members
Of the Police Department talked of
bringing the matter to the attention
of City Council, but nothing was done
The police say there is need every
day for such a boat, which could be
Of the gasolene type sufficiently large
TO patrol the waters of Wilmington
and vicinity. BY placing such a boat
at the disposal of the police II is
pointed out that considerable prop
erty can be saved manufacturers
along the streams around Whining
ton and in case of q drowning the
police would be in position to i'm
mediately grapple for the body. Under
the present system rowboats must be
hired or borrowed and at night they
are often hard to get.
The police estimate that river
thieves carry off loot from along the
shores of the Christian river last
year valued at $4,000 This plunder
consists mostly of chains, lumber,
metal and even pieces of machinery.
With a police boat patrolling the
waters about the city day and night
It is believed thes thefts would stop.

Cohen Drowning Emphasizes
Need of Police Patrol Boat

Two men on each police turn would
be large enough crew for the yes-
sci. one to act as pilot and the other
as engineer. In case more men are
needed they could be recruited for the
occasion from the members of the
force.
In addition to police boat there Is
need of an automobile patrol wagon.
The city now owns two wagons and
four horses and it is pointed out that
an automobile would do the work Of
both and do it much more thoroughly.
The many hills in the city are an
other reason why the city should
have an auto patrol wagon. The
need of such a conveyance is more
apparent on Saturdays than any other
days Frequently several calls for
the wagon come in about the same
time and 1t often happens that the
boxes are located at the extreme ends
of the city Where the police have
no trouble with prisoners the wait for
the wagon is of little consequence,
but often it is imperative that the
prisoner be removed from the vicinity
in which he is arrested as quickly as
possible An automobile could make
better time to the boxes than horses,
and the efficiency of the department
would be greatly increased.
The Police Commission took up the
question of purchasing an automobile
wagon sometime ago, but because of
lack Of funds it was decided to in
definitely postpone action on the
question.
Council may be asked to provide
means for the purcase of both,
police patrol boat and an automobile
wagon and in addition provide money
for additional patrolmen to man them.

this error as Newark did not play Del

Is harder to cure a cold in the summer
than in the winter. In winter the brac-

weather Of summer retards the cure OF

The public is much interested in

that covers just such cases is Peruna.
Experience has taught that IL is the one
remedy that promptly expels sum
