It Is Believed That Over Two Hundred Persons Lost
 Their Lives
SOME OE THE TOWNS ARE
 NOW OUT OF DANGER
Rain and Snow Have Fallen in Mon- tana Which Have Helped to Check the Flames to a Small
 Degree

Spokane Wash, August 24-It is be- lieved that more than 200 persons, near ly all fire fighters, perished In the Idaho forest fires.
 Superintendent Weigle of the Couer Alene national forest after receiv- ing many reports of disaster to vari- ous parties of his GOO employees, post ed a bulletin today in his office at Wallace announcing the death of IA of the men, and also stated his grave concern for the safety of Ranger Joseph B. Hahn and "A men who were sur rounded by fire Sunday night In the forest on the big fork of the Couer d Alene river, near where another party lost 13 men.
 Hahn was for four years the best athlete Of the Washington State col- lege at Pullman, a renowned football and baseball player. The charred bodies of 20 fire fighters were found yes terday on setzer creek in the St. Joe country.
 Two burned Japanese dragged them- selves to Avery. Ida, last night and told of the death of 10 of their com panions. The 12 men. employees of the Chicago. Milwaukee and Puget Sound
 railroad, had gone out to fight fire and had been surrounded by flames, only two escaping death.
 The rangeys missing in the Thomp- son Falls col ntry of Montana were not heard from today as far as known here.
 The number of deaths i,, tho sfo fa of Washngto was reduced to three all in Pend q Oreille valley, near New port One of these victims, Mrs Ern- est Deinehardt wife of a rancher, was the only woman known to have been
 burned to death in any of the fires. Nearly. all the dead were fire fight
 CTS. The wholesale loss of life oc- cured Saturday afternoon and night, when great bodies of men were striv- ing to check the flames. The names of many of the dead will never be known.
 The rangers employed all the able bodied men they could press into the service. When the groups of fire fight CTS were overwhelmed the camps were also destroyed, the clothes burned off the bodies of the men and the bodies of the dead were often so charred that seerchers stepped on them, think ing they were pieces of burned logs. The fire obliterated the trails and the burned country Is difficult to go through because of fallen trees. With the towns out of danger and the settlers fled to places of safety, the rangers were able to devote them selves entirely today to the saving of the trees Various fire fighters are isolated and will die for lack of food. In Montana rain and snow fell check ing the flames. In Spokane today the sun shone clear, and even in Wallace, Idaho. the smoke cloud was lifted.
 No one ventures to estimate the finan- cal loss, as the extent of the burned area is not fully known. A pine tree cen turies old has value beyond the lum- Der 1t contains, and the national forests have lost many of the finest trees they possessed.
