q was several miles south of Beaud- ette when I first heard the roar of l the flames. I start ed to run for the town, but the fire was coming fast and was very close I caught up with a man who was accompanied by woman | with a baby. NTlIey were exhausted and I grabbed the child and fled. There
 was a wall of flame ahead of us, but | the wind shifted and we passed | through. I can't understand how any of the homesteaders of that section can | have escaped. I believe this fire will go through hundreds of miles of bush and timber and hundreds of people will | perish"
 The flames struck Pitt early in the afternoon and everything was destroy ed Previ )usly Beaudette and Spooner had burned and the people fled across | to Rainy River. Many were overtaken as they fled from Pitt and perish ed. | The Identification of the dead Is most tered so widely.
 | The prompt work of relief engineered | by the Canadian Northern railroad of | ficials saved thousands of lives Many residents of Spooner, Beaudette and l Pitt escaped only by the special trains run for them by that company. The people had become so accustomed to
 the haze in the sky caused by the burn | ing timber that they could not be made
 to realize that the situation was be-
 coming dangerous. Then when the
 danger became imminent they were
 forced to escape in crowds.
 Several trains have been run through
 suffocating smoke and burning bridges
 and timbers, regardless of danger to the
 crews. The most dramatic incidents
 were those coupled with the escape of
 2000 fugitives in a long train of box
 cars. The mob of men, women and
 children awaited the trains while their
 homes were in flames.

Assistance Is Sent

Winnipeg, Man. October 9.-Warroad is in great danger from forest fires which are gradually crossing toward that town. Two special trains left here at o'clock over the Canadian Northern railroad with fire apparatus and hose. Roosevelt is safe after an aIl-day fire, but the town is crowded with refugees. Assistance to relieve their wants is ur- gently requested Tonight Warroad is crowded with 1000 refugees and fires are burning all around 1t. The fire is spreading this way, and is now only seven miles from jSprague, Man., which is 20 miles northwest of Warroad. A fire also is coming down from the north of Sprague where it has burned great quan- titles of cordwood, ties and telegraph poles awaiting shipment The situation tonight Is that the present forest con f1agration is the greatest since the Hinckley, Minn., horror 15 years ago. In the confusion it is hard to estimate the missing, but an exchange of mes- sages between refugee centers shows that more than 100 settlers, principally from around Beaudette, have not been reported safe. Distress will be terrible this win tef

FARM LABOR is SCARCE.

Farm labor is scarce in Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana, where
larger areas will go into wheat and
other grains, root crops and fruit this
spring than ever before The land
is in excellent condition for seeding
and work is in progress in many
districts. The scarcity of labor, the
greatest problem that confronts the
nnchers and orchardists in the ir-
rlgated and dry farming districts, is
accounted for in a way by the great
expansion in industrial lines and rail
road building, and though more than
10000 settlers came into the coun-
try last year the situation has not
been relieved. In fact, farmers say
it is more acute today than during
any similar period in the history of
the northwest, as many of the new
corners have settled on land, thus
increasing the demand for labor.
Employment agencies in Spokane
and other cities in the northwest
are literally swamped with orders for
help at wages ranging from $3.50 to
S2.75 day, and in instances they
are offering $500 a day.
