snokane, Wash, July 13-The min
Ing towns Of Mace and Burke. east
Of Kellogg, Idaho, are reported de-
stroyed by forest fires sweeping up
the western slope Of the Bitter Root
Mountains. Wire communication is
down with the fire swept district and
fear is felt for the lives Of tourists
on, the Yellowstone Trail highway,
which is understood from meager re-
ports to be in the path of the flames.
A thousand persons are reported
homeless in the two towns. Mace is
destroyed. The business section Of
Burke is in flames and little hope is
held Of saving what remains of the
town. The loss up to o'clock this
afternoon, was estimated at between
100000 and 100000 and the pro-
gress Of the fire is said to be I'M
checked. Attempts to block the fire
by dynamitinG homes, business
houses and mine structures proved
futile because of the high wind.
With the business section of Burke
completely gone, and a large portion
Of the residence section burning, fire

q short distance up the canyon fl ON
Burke, where the large hotel of the

children took refuge in a church at
Mace when the flames swept through
the town. When blasting failed to
stop the fast spread of the flames, the
children were forced to flee the
church which started to burn. None
was hurt.
A spark from a passing locomotive
or an, overheated chimney are
thought. to have caused the fire.

in $500 bail for trial. Many homes
