Widespread Forest Fires
Have Cost Wisconsin Peo-
pie Nearly S3,OOO,OOO
800 FAMILIES ARE HOMELESS

Wisconsin's forest fires this year
have cost lumbermen and settlers in
the neighborhood Of 100000 Three
hundred families have been made home
less Definite figures cannot be learned
until the coming winter brings in the
timber cruisers with their detailed re-
ports to the lumber companies.
The district north Of Chippewa
Falls, where a tract fifty miles long
and forty miles wide has suffered from
scores Of small fires, is most seriously
affected and the losses theze are placed
at about $l,25O,ooo, Of which 100000
is suffered by the Wisconsin Central
railroad alone.
The district to the northeast has not
suffered so seriously, though the losses
in Marinette, Oeonto and Forest coun-
ties have approached half million.
The lumber companies operating out
Of Wausau, Tomahawk Rhinelander
and Ashland have suffered heavily and
the damage north of Ashland and su-
perior, probably totals nearly a million
dollars.
Much Of the fire has been through
barrens, where the loss is small, but
the district north Of Chippewa Falls,
which is filed with small villages and
cities, has suffered most severely.
There were over twenty towns threat
ened with destruction in that strip.
Mills owned by the Upham company,
the Yellow River company, Weyer-
haeuser subsidiary, the Willow River
company of New Richmond and smaller
companies have been burned down, the
loss being to the mill companies alone
nearly half million.
