BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 23.-The
epitome of the forest fire horror In
Idaho is contained In a message re-
ceived by President Taft today
from Governor Brady Of that state.
The telegram follows:
"Unconquerable fires are eating
the forests between Avery and St.
Joe. The settlers have been driven
out. Seventy-five are dead at St.
Joe; seven corpses of rangers have
been found near there; fifty per-
sens are missing and believed to
be dead. Women and children are
being helped from the fire zone by
volunteers.
Great fires around Burke and
Mullan threaten those towns with
destruction. Between Rathdrum
and Spirit Lake is an enormous
body of timber and many settlers
and summer campers are In dan
ger. Around Newport the fires are
