FOREST FIRES RAGE
AND HUNDREDS DIE
IN LURID PATHWAY

They waited too long, and walls of fire
cut off escape
A nearby lake, in which they found
refuge, saved many residents of Coch-
rane on the line of the Temiskaming
and Northern Ontario railway. Only two
streets in the town were saved.
Thirty-four bodies are lying on the
platform of the railroad at Matheson. The
station and two houses are the only build
ings still standing Ramore, small
settlement, was wiped out.
The flames were checked at Timmons
after II houses had been burned. Only
the sawmill was destroyed at South Por-
cupine.
All that remains of Iroquois Falls are
the ruins of the great paper mill and
one store.
Refugees without food or clothing are
pouring into the larger towns south Of
the burned district.
Hundreds of square miles of bush and
farm land have been burned over. Iso-
lated settlers took refuge in lakes ans
rivers, leaving all their belongings be
hind.
Rain was falling tonight at Mathesor
and several other points, but a long con-
tinued downpour will be necessary &c
extingush the fires and prevent them
from sweeping further southwark.

Englehart, Ontario, July 3O-Forest fires
raging in northern Ontario are believed
tonight to have resulted in the loss of
from $50 to 200 lives. Scores of persons
have been injured and it is feared many
of them will die.
Several small towns have been wiped
out by the flames that have been raging
for As hours. Reports thus far received
show that 81 persisted at Nushka, a
French Canadian settlement, and "a at
Matheson. Cochrane has IS dead and 81
injured; Iroquois Falls 10 dead and many
injured and Ramore Is dead. The num-
Der killed at Porcupine Junction is not
known, but the entire town was destroyed
except the railroad station.
The death list will be materially in
creased, it is feared, by victims in out
lying districts. There are apparently we'll
authenticated reports that many pros
pectors have been trapped at Tashota
and Kowash. One farmer and his 10
children are known to have been burned
while the mans wife was vainly seeking
aid to check the on-rushing flames.

of frame buildings and stores, suffered

This Despite Fact That IS
Per Cent of Farming

M'ADOO is GATHERING
DATA AS TO LOCATION
Georgia, Having Federal Reserve In
stitution, Is Only Southern State
Not Asking for Favor-Ala-.
bama Has Two Applicants
by HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, July 30.-(Special I'm
the selection of the members Of the
farm loan board the President again
Ignored the south; but while southern
senators are grumbling under their
breath, they arc so accustomed to their
will proceed to confirm the nominees
without question.
1t was generally believed that mas
much as the rural credits bill was de-
signed to aid the farmers, and as rs
per cent of the farming in the United
States is done in the south, the Presi-
dent, in appointing the members of the
board, would name at least one south
erner with an understanding of tho
southern farmer.
But the south is so certainly demo-
cratic that the President. in the opin-
ion of his advisers, was justified in
again ignoring that section, and play
ing for the political favor of other
sections not so certain.
IOWA is FAVORED
The Presidents nominees. as already
reported in The Age-Herald, are
Charles E. Lobdell of Kansas, George
Norris of Philadelphia, w. S. A. Smith
| of Iowa and Herbert Quick of West
Virginia. Three of the appointees live
in doubtful states. 1t is possible that
democracy this year, it is pointed out,
may carry Kansas and Iowa. The Pres
dents chances in West Virginia are
good In Pennsylvania, however, the
republicans are certain to win.
Mr.. Quick is probably regarded as
the southern member. West Virginia,
however, in an agricultural sense, is
southerner, his residence until recent
| ly having been in Iowa, where he ac-
quired certain prominence as a politi-
clan. AS far as known. he has never
| laid claim to a knowledge of southern
farming or an understanding of the
southern farmer.
| Practically all southern states from
Virginia to Texas had their nominees.
At one time it was regarded as GER
! tain that native of Florida would be
appointed.
LOCATING The BANKS
| AS soon as the new board is con-
firmed the country will be divided into
| IL districts, and in each district bank
will be established. The agricultural
belt of the country, it is indicated, will
comprise one of the subdivisions.
Practically all southern states except
Georgia are tentatively asking that the
bank be located within their borders
/ There is nothing to indicate what dis
position will be made of their claims
although it is announced that Secre-
tary McAdoo has already gathered a
bulk of data relating to the several
cities which will be eligible.
Alabama has two applicant-cities
Birmingham and Montgomery. 1t is re-
garded as possible that this fact may
initiate against the chances of both.
