CONDITIONS GENERALLY
ARE MUCH IMPROVED

SPOKANE. Wash, Aug. 25.-If the
stories of men who returned today from
the st, Joe country of Idaho are TO be
believed. the loss of life along Big
creek, tributary of the st. Joe river
was appalling, and the dead IN Idaho
alone will number more than 200. even
If Ranger Joseph b. Hahn and his
twenty-four men turn up, of which the
forest ofhccr In Wallace rs not hopeful,
Two mmbermen say they saw thirty
Italian fire fighters burned TO death ON
Big creek.
A party OF Australian laborers re-
port the death of seventeen of their
comrades.
The loss of twenty.seveu American
laborers who enlisted in Missoula is an
nounced by their surviving companions.
Supervisor Weigle has given up hope
for the safety of Ranger Joseph b..
Hahn and eighty-four men on the head
waters on st. Joe river last Saturday.
y relief party has searched In vain the
whole country where Hahn was last
seen.
Ranger F. A. Ferns, at the head of
still larger party on the st. Joe, is
safe.
May Be Duplicate Stories.
The forest service announces the loss
of twenty.seven men on Big creek, and
it may be that these are a party of
the ninety Eve dead reported by their
comrades in Spokane today.
1t is supposed that the twenty bodies
found on Bitter Root creek near Avery
are those of settlers.
Twenty bodies found on Setser
creek are those of forest employees.
The forest officer in Wallace is unable
to give out the names of the dead, but
it is thought that most of the men were
newly hired for the FIRE emergency, and
their names are not oflici~lly recorded.

All estimates of the loss place it at
