enc hundred miles east and twenty
miles south, OF whom nothing can BIZ
learned for some time, as searching
parties dare not try to penetrate the
still smoking forests
While wind is sweeping sea OF
fire eastward on the south side of the
Rainy River at velocity OF fifty miles
an hour. the great body of flames
passed this section, revealing calamity
that already reaches the proportions
Of an International disaster.
Railroad and wire connections with
the scene of the disaster from the west
are cut off by a burned district from
War Road MINI, on the Canadian
Northern Railway n distance OF forty
miles, through which the last trains
passed last night at peril of lives OF
the crews. The road is open to the
south and oast, however, and relief
Is being afforded from Fort william.
The fires have been smouldering in
that district for months aud were
started anew by the strong wind which
began to blow two days ago.
Everything Destroyed.
The flames struck Pitt early In the
afternoon and everything was de-
stroyed Previously Beaudette and
Spooner had burned and the people
fled across to Rainy River. Many were
overtaken as they fled from Pitt and
persisted.
The prompt work of relief engineer
ed by the Canadian Northern Railroad
officials preserved thousands of lives,
as practically the residents of Spoon.
er, Beaudette and Pitt escaped only
by the special trains run for them
by that company. The people had be-
come SO accustomed to the haze in
the sky caused by the burning timber
that they could not be made to real
ize that the. situation was becoming
dangerous. Then, when the danger
became imminent, they were forced
to escape In crowds.
The Canadian Northern Railway has
practically been running relief trains
in every direction. stopping at any
point where frantic people were to be
found along the track. The heroism
of these train crews is a part. of the
heroism displayed by many. Several
trains have been run through suffo-
eating smoke and burning bridges and
tlmbers, regardless of danger to the
crews
The most dramatic incidents were
those incident to the escape of 1000
fugitives in a long train of box cars.
The crowd of men. women and chill
dren awaited the trains while their
homes Were In flames.
