 The final steps will be taken May first for the transfer of the Navy de- partments entire investment in Alas ka coal lands principally at Chicka loon to the Interior Department. On this day mining operations will be sus- pended until the Department of Inte rior can arrange to resume the work.

FOREST FIRES RACE
THROUGH MINNESOTA

DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 1S.-
By the Associated Press).-Fears
that the death toll from the for
est fires raging in northern Min
nesota would go beyond the report
ed total of - when additional adj
vices are received today from the
flame-swept areas were expressed
this morning by scores of refugees
who are arriving here hourly.
While 400 Minnesota national
guardsmen under command of Ad-
jutant General w. F. Rhinow, con-
tinued today the work of succor-
ing the refugees, more than 1000
forest rangers, settlers and others
redoubled their efforts in fighting
the flames, which already have de-
stroyed three small towns.
Only rain or a calm day can save
score of other places today. Ter
rife winds prevailed yesterday.
The first ray of hope of prevent
ing further serious loss was re-
ceived at district headquarters of
the state forestry service shortly
after midnight when rangers at
Kelsey, SO miles north of here,
the center of the worst blazes, re-
ported the situation much improv-

heavy dew.
Similar advices were received
from the vicinities Of Fairbanks and
Eveleth.
New fires were reported early to-
day in several sections, however.
Hundreds of families have aban-
doned their homes, live stock, and
in fact, everything they owned.
The main thought of the women
and children was to reach haven
of safety. Most of the men remain
