BELIEVE TIMBER FIRES
NOW UNDER CONTROL

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 19.-After a
night of virtual calm men fighting
the forest fires in northern Mime.
sofa set out today to attempt to get
a strangle hold on the various blazes
befora they could be stirred into
greater menaces by heavy winds. A
light drizzling rain fell early to-
day.
Rain and lack of winds are need
ed before the 200 odd fires spread
over an area of 100000 acres can be
extinguished or brought under con-
troll. This mornings rain, II general
will be OF great aid to the 1000 men
battling the flames.
Settler remaining in threatened
settlements have been warned by Gov
ernor J. A. o. Preus, who is in per.
sonal command of the situation here
and w. T. Cox, state forester. to be
prepared to leave their homes should
big winds develop today.
According to Cox only the lull in
the wind yesterday prevented repe'
tition of the 1918 disaster when 453
persons were killed.
The most serious fire today con-
tinued to be the one in the vicinity
of Kelsey, forty-five miles north of
here. Others causing concern were
near Fairbanks and Bull but latest
reports were that the fire fighters
were making progress against the
flames.
Early today there had been no
casualties, though several persons
had been reported missing. First ad-
vices that members of two families
had persisted were cOntradicted when
they were reported safe after various
experiences in escaping from their
homes.
