really the only safe place along the
whole boundary Warroad is facing
The problem Of feeding the refugees.
Aid was given to IA men five miles
west, who had been fighting fires four
lays and whose food was gone.
Estimates of the number of per-
sons killed range from 100 to 400,
while hundreds of settlers who fed be-
tore the flames are missing But the
greatest concern for the present is
the rescue of the helpless and the re-
lief of thousands of homeless men,
women and children.
Stories Of wild animals fleeing for
safety side by side with human beings,
their natural fear and hostility
quenched by the horror of their stu
alton, came in showing the desperate
ness Of conditions. Tales also came
Of mothers burned to death with
babies on the breast and of strong
men calcined while endeavoring to
shield their children.
Spooner is entirely wiped off the
earth and Cedar Spur, Graceton, Pitt,
Swift and Roosevelt, mere hamlets,
are destroyed.
Every settler in the district bound
ed by the Rainy river and Lake of the
Woods on the north to Is miles south
Of Fort Frances, Ont, and from Spoon
er and Baudette, Mimi, on the east to
Warroad, Mimi, on the west, who is
not accounted for is believed to be
dead.
The fire zone covers an area of IS
miles in length, from the gravel pit
spur west of Warroad to Stratton, the
fourth station east Of Rainy River,
and in width about thirty miles, COW
ering all the territory between Red
Lake and the Lake of the Woods. The
fires have wiped out the villages of
Baudette, Spooner, Graceton, Pitt, My
ron and Malcolm. The last two named
places are small settlements in Bel
trami county, south of Warroad
The missing include some two thou
sand residents of Baudette, Spooner
and Pitt and adjacent territory. some
of whom are dead, but the most of
them are safe in Rainy River and ad-
jacent towns on the Canadian side of
the line. The most serious aspect of
the missing includes the homestead
ers and farmers In the bush, Of whom
absolutely nothing can be learned for
some time, as searching parties do not
dare penetrate the still smoking for
ests through which the cyclone of fire
has swept.
