MANY LIVES AND MUCH PROPERTY,
LOST BY FOREST FIRES in IDAHO

Spokane, Aug. 21.-Fifty dead in
and around Wallace, Idaho; property

area burned Saturday night and is
quieting down.

threaten.
Elk City reported still unburned.
Four or more dead in fires near
Newport, Wash.
One hundred and eighty men In the
forestry service are missing in the ST.

Taft, Mont, has been burned: Sal
tese is surrounded by fire; De Borgia
and st. Regis are seriously threaten
ed; Haughan, Mont, is reported de-
stroyed.
Solid line of fire from Thompson

peril.
Anatone, Asotin county, Wash, is
threatened with destruction.
Ymir, B. c., is in danger from fires
which are burning in the bush. Other
fires are gaining Roadway in that re-
gion and the situation is alarming.
Avery, Idaho, destroyed. and people
flock to Tekoa.
Burke is still safe. but fires rage
near.
Wallace, Idaho, Aug. 21.-Daylight
this morning showed that the immi-
nent danger of the city's destruction
has passed, but it brought also con-
firmation of losses which were only
rumored and suspected during the con-
flagration of the night. At least two
died in the city fire, John J. Boyd, a
pioneer of the Cour d'Alenes and a
former Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company agent, and un unknown man
or woman, having been incinerated in
the Michigan hotel. Only the skull of
the latter was found in the ruins this
morning.
OF the fire fighting forces an accur-
ate toll of the dead and wounded is
quite unavailable, but the known of
the dead number twenty-four, the to-
tai injured twenty-five, in addition to
ten blinded. The steady work of the
city fire department, members of the
Twenty-fifth infantry, colored volun-
teers, and the forestry forces alone
saved Wallace from total destruction.
The conflagration in the east end was
stayed shortly after II o'clock, and
back firing on adjoining hills to the
west and south prevented new fires in
those directions. 1t is estimated that
the loss in the city is about 81 ,O00, 900.
The entire eastern section, from
Seventh street to Canyon, is destroyed,
with three terraces of residences on
the hillside.

About 1000 refugees have been
brought into Missoula today. There
is much distress among them. Their
wants are being supplied by Missoula
people and they have been given tenn
porary homes. The first OF the trains
came in over the Northern Pacific's
Occur d'Alene branch, bringing the
patients who had been in the Sisters
hospital at Wallace and as many refu-
gees as could find place in the small
train. There were ESQ on this train,
and a second train at noon brought
as many more.
These people came from the small
towns along the line between here and
Wallace. Many of them had been
reused from their sleep by the people
on the train, whose summons had been
the first intimation that the fire was
near; there had been no sign of it
when the people went to bed Satur-
day night. In most instances they es-
capped only with scanty clothing.
Town OF Taft Destroyed.
The town Of Taft, near the Idaho
line, was entirely destroyed before
daylight this morning.
Saltese, just below Taft, has been
abandoned by its inhabitants and is
known to be surrounded by fire. De
Borgia is seriously threatened and one
man is missing. At st. Regis the fire
has crossed the river and threatens
outlying buildings, though no fears are
entertained for the town.
George Wallbilig, packer, and two
companions reached Missoula tonight
from Adair, a station on the Milwau-
kee west of Missoula about 100 miles,
having left there yesterday morning
horseback. One horse was ridden to
death, but the men got over the range.
They say car of dynamite and a
car of oil at the construction camp
near Adair exploded soon after they
left. The fire was spreading rapidly
and Wallbilig believes that the con-
struction camp was destroyed.
There were twenty-five men there.
The principal buildings burned and
the estimated losses follow:
Occur d'Alene Hardware Company,
warehouse, $4,000; Sunset Brewery,
$4,000; Hay hotel and annex, 100000;
Occur d'Alene Iron Works, $4,000;

She had no knowledge of what task

the other side of the island. With the
first shock he remembered that some
time in his days of darkness before
she came there had been similar
upheaval He realized instantly what
it was. Less timorous than the
woman. more agile, he did not lie SUI
pine for a single second. His thoughts
were instantly for her. He had
thrown himself from his cave and had
raced across the shaking, quivering
island without the hesitation of mo-
ment. Never so long as he might
live could he forget the shock that
came to him when he saw his way to
her barred by that great heap of rock

lay over the entrance to the cave. Fol

The Conscience ouIckened.

The Conscience Qulckened.
They had spent the morning to-
gether but not as usual. Things were
different, conditions had changed. For
the first time in years the daily lesson
which she had given him was inter-
mitted. To-day they were both at
school with Love for preceptor and
such willingness in their hearts as
made them ideal pupils. The storm
had died away as suddenly as 1t
had arisen. No visible evidence of II

OF the long undulating seas upon the
outward barrier. The earthquake had
not greatly damaged the island. the
fallen cliff. few PROSTATE palms here

the blade that she had forged again
and again, growing daring in her i'm
munity, drawer in her trust.
They stood in one part of their wan

been her cave. Hand in hand they
| looked down upon the heap OF rocks

| ing to him: to her 1t was incredible.
She could better estimate what human
strength was capable of than he. She
had standards of comparison which he
lacked.

"At that moment, to release you,

cried, throwing out his arms in mag

and once more pressed her lips with
in his palm.

much for me as / for you and | will
