SHIFT OF WIND SAVES TOWNS
Hope Given That Forest Fires VIII
Not Destroy Villages In
Michigan.

Sault Ste Marie, Mich, July 3.-Re-
ports from the territory extending 40
miles westward from here, over which
forest fires are sweeping, indicate that
shifting winds are aiding the fire fight
ers and that Trout Lake, Race, Seney
and other menaced villages may be
saved from destruction. Forest rang
ers and villagers are still battling the
flames, which spread rapidly over large
areas of Chippewa, Luce, Schoolcraft
and Mackinac counties, owing to the
prolonged drought. Although the fire
reached the outskirts of Trout Lake
and Seney, a message from Newberry
says the sudden veering of the wind
diverted the flames to cut over land
and removed these places from imme-
date danger. Race was likewise saw
ed from destruction after the populace
had fled.

IWheKsan electric spark ignited grease
that had accumulated under one of the
cars, spread to the building which
serves as the terminal for the munic-
ipal ferries from Staten Island and
South Brooklyn Within five minutes
after the fire started the flames had
spread along the elevated structure
the full length Of both trains. Men,
women and children leaped from the
platforms of the burning cars onto
the blazing overhead roadway and ran
along the track in an effort to out
distance the flames. But for the speed
with which the firemen raised their
ladders and took the passengers down
it is believed many would have leaped
into the street below.
At the terminus of the elevated
STRUCTURE is an Office of the INTERIOR

caught fire, and the clerks and stenog-
raphers leaped from the windows onto
the roof of a train shed and thence
climbed down ladders into the street.
