Thousands Missing.
The missing include some 2,0J0
residents of Beaudette, Spooner and
Pitt, some Of whom are dead but the
most of whom are safe in Rainy
River and adjacent towns on the
Canadian side. The most serious as
pect is that the missing includes
homesteaders In the brush for a dis
tanee of 100 miles east and west and
twenty miles south or here. Nothing
can be learned While the wind is
keeping the fire moving eastward on
the south side of Rainy river at fifty
miles an hour, a great body of flames
has wiped this section revealing a
calamity that has already reached the
limit Of an International disatser.
Railroad and wire connections from
the west are cut off by the burned dis
trict from Warroad, Mimi, on the
Canadian Northern railroad fer dis
tance of forty miles, through which
the last trains passed. last night at
the peril of the lives o: the crew. The
road is open to the south and east
and relief is being afforded from
Fort William.
These fires have been smoldering
in that district for months. They
were started anew by the terrific
wind which began two days ago A

mile wide. 1t was this situation
