Details of Terrible Tragedy at
Fernie — Thousands Homeless — $25,000,000 Estima
ted Damage   Relief Work
Single wires, now working, now not
Working, have dribbled out during the
list thirty-six hours the story of the
worst disaster in the history of British
Columbia—ii disaster bo overwhelming
in respect of loss both of life and
property that the comparison with the
San Francisco calamity wli-ch at first
seemed somewhat absurd is hourly
becoming more and more terribly
justified.
The bush lands which still cover
most of the valley of the Elk River in
the Crow's Nest country are to-day
filled with lhe lire. The town of
Fernie has been wiped out and its
thousands of people are iu desperate
plight,
The best that can be said ot Hosmer
is that it may be safe—for tlie present
—but nntliing is certainly known.
Sawmills, coal reserves, staiifliog timber, business premises, homes, tithe
value of $25,000,000 have disappeared.
Estimates of the loss ot life are the
merest guesses, but there is good
reason to fear tlint the number will
run into Be vera I hundreds, each individual the victim of death in one of its
most awful and agonizing forms.
A brush fire hss been raging for
several days on the opposite Bide of
Elk river from Fernie and through
the Elk Lumber Co.'s limits near
Hosmer, Late on Saturday afternoon
the flames leaped across the stream
and their progress was irresistible.
At 4 p.m. the bu.li fire at Fernie
got beyond control and spread to the
city and in an incredibly short time
the whole city was a nui-s of flames,
destroying the eutire town, with the
exception of 17 dwellings, all rendering over 5,tK)0 people homeless.
FERNIE. Aug. 4.—Michel has been
wiped out and Coal Creek, live milea
east of Fernie, destroyed. A powder
magazine, at HuBmer exploded, killing
one man
Tbe wind steadily increased in
veli city and Volume, fanning the
Haines iuto a Blrong conllagration,
which licked up the Cedar Valley
yards at West Fernie, the Elk Lumber
Cnnipany's mill and ten or fifteen
million feet of lumber in the yards,
leaped across the Elk river, renewing
its vigor with tbe fuel fur llame which
it foiled in the annex of Fernie.
The magnificent railway bridge of
the Great Northern, the lumber camp
trallic bridge and the Elk Lumber
Company's private bridge spanning
the Elk, connecting Fernie and West
Fernie, were all devoured in the tor-
rent ol flames.
All tlie buildings in the old town,
extending up Coal Creek, continuing
up to what is known as French town,
destroying everything in its coui'Be.
The dames leaped Coal Creek in a
jill'y, licketl up Edg cliff, the most
southerly bouse in that part. It came
across the C.P.R. trucks, burning the
coal chutes and the enr. on the siding
and it was Boon in the heart of the
city. The Humes coming [rem two
directions meeting in the heart of the
city ci ui fused the people so that
they scarcely knew from whence tho
greatest danger was approaching or
whether the road nf escape  was  open.
IluSM III   KAVI.II
At Hosmer, a small lown that was
saved alter a hard struggle, Im.r are
dead. John Cupik, to escape, crawled
into a tunnel snd was suffocated. A
man unknown and evidently burned
and mangled by falling timber, was
found in a sclioolhouse, where he had
crawled to die. In a cabin a woman
aud a child sutiocated in each other's
arms. Hosmer is iu the bottom ol a
deep trough, the sides ol which are
abrupt mountain*. The Manic* rushed
along the wooded sides, literally raining, burning brands into the town.
The heat was so intense that all the
window panes were broken and that
the place was not completely wiped
out with great loss of life wus a
miracle.
In the district swept by the Mames
there is estimated to have been some
7,000 people. Tiio thousand of tbeie
people have been sent wesi to Cranbrook and Klk, some 1,500 Mod from
the flames to the northward and
reached Hosmer and other places of
. .if'.'ty along the line.
The Great Northern railway took
nil the people they could carry up the
line, the train fighting its wsy.thru'
sheets ol Hume before reaching a place
of  safety   with   its freight of human
lives.
THOUSANDS  llll.MKI.KSS
lt is estimated that there will be
5000 who will have to be furnished
with temporary shelter and foi d
The country was thickly t-el.'ltd by
campers and liiinberiuen, with theii
wives and families'. These people,
living in outlying sections, were cut
off by the swift moving wall of lire,
and tbere is practically un hope that
survived.
The foreman of the Elk L'mbor Co
reports that there arc between sixty
and eighty men in Iti* oan. p up the
river, and so far he has failed to find
any trace of any of them.
FRIGHTFUL   MORTALITY
The loss of life is variously estimated up to 500. The suffering and destitution is horrible. Thousands are
without food and shelter, and many
are said to have been cut off from
hope or aid.
PROMPT RELIEF
Nelson raised $2,000 yesterday and
sent two carloads of feed and cl' tiling
to the scene. Vancouver wire.. $5,000,
Port Arthur $500, Revelstoke $500,
and Spokane rushed in a carload of
provisions. All the neighboring towns
citiea and villages are rushing to the
help.
The Medicine Hat city cot.ti.il forwarded $500 worth of rolled oats and
floor to Fernie as a first relief instalment.
Relief trains are still being rushed
from Edmonton, Cranbrook and Calgary lo as near Fernie as possible, carrying supplies, clothing and means of
shelter to the homcle-s thousands.
The federal government is taking
prompt action to give all possible
assistance to the fire sufferers in the
Fernie district. The Premier aud
Hon. Messrs. Templetnan and Oliver
have each sent messages asking for
details aa to the extent of the disaster
and how best aaaistauce can be rendered. The militia department stores
in British Columbia, including all
tents, blankets,etc., are already placed
at the disposal of the sufferers.
A special train with doctors, nurses,
hospital stores, clothing and provisions
has been rushed to the scene of the
disaster fr.im Winnipeg,
COAL STOCK  DEPLETED
One very Bcriiuis feature of the situ
iition ia the cutting utl' of the principal and most readily available source
of coal supply lor the Canadian prairie, especially at a time when Blocks
are depleted. It is likely the three
provincial governments will take joint
measure* as a on as the situation has
cleared.
The general account of the buildings
burned arc -.
New post ollice, $00,00. ; Tritcs
Wood, warehouse, $150,000; Crow's
Nest   Trading   Co.'s    store,   $75,000.
Fernie was well equipped with
hotels, all of which are swept away.
The Feinie, a large three-storey .true
ture, was the leading commercial
house, and its loss would approach
$75,000 The Waldorf, the Imperial,
the Napanef, and three other large
frame structures; the Royal, the
t'ueetiB anil the Northern were brick
structure*. In addition were the
King Edward, the Roma, the Central,
the Great Northern and ono or two
others.
All the churches, halls and public
buildings were gutted. All the business Bectiou of Fernie, built of fine
brick and cement is destroyed. The
Free Press and I/edger newspaper
plants were destroyed; Hliiudell's
grocery, Illcasdcll'a drug Btore, Whim-
ster's hardware store, Liphiirdt's jewelry store, Johnson'* gent's furnishings
Muirhead's boot store, Suddahy's drug
atore, and the block containing the
Bank of Hamilton, the aggregate loss
amount ing to over $200,000; the Canadian Hsnk ol Commerce, P. Hum*'
corner, Dominion Meat Co., C.P.R,
snd G.N.It. depots also were wiped
out. The Elk L. Co. lost ovei $.'150,-
000 in the plant, while West Fernie as
a whole wa*completely  overwhelmed.
Nearly every insurance company in
Vancouver is affected by the Fernie
con (lag ration.
Spokane sent, the lirst relief train to
the stricken people.
REBUILD THE OITY
Already the men ol Fernie are an
iioiincing plans tu build a new and
better town. To-day tlio village ol
canvas, with many men, hut few
women, stands bcBitlo the red hot
aslie* of the old city.

STRIKE ON IN
C.P.R. SHOPS
Eight Thousand Shop Men Quit
Work. -Halifax to Vancouver
Tied Up.—Employees Went
Out at 10 o'clock To day.
Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 4—Ord*-a
were issued at noon by the executive
uf the C.P.R. shops union for a strike
over the entire system, to begin tu-
niorrow.
At 10 o'clock to morrow morning
8,000 employes of the Canadian Pacific
mechanical department will go on
strike, including all men between
Halifax and Vancouver. Thia statement waa ollicially made thia morning
by J. H. McVety, who has been acting
for the men of the iii.cliaiii.ml department. The poiitiim taken is that
thu men demand acceptance by the
company of the minority report,
signed by the representatives after
recent cincilliation meetings, and as
the company haa refuted to depart
from its ground, after having declared
its willingness to stand by the majority report, the strike appears inevitable.
The local shop employees and carmen went out on strike at. 10 o'clock
this morning. The men have nothing
to say and refuse to answer any
questions.
Supt. T. Kilpatrick said this morning that he had no information to
give us to the situation. The men
were out and all the company could
do was to keep their trains running.
It is rumored, without official en-
dorsation, that the engineers and
conductors will join the men in the
Htrike. If the locomotive engineers
do go into this strike they will be
breaking a long established precedent
never to go iuto a sympathetic strike.
ATLANTIC RECORD
H. M. S. Indomitable Beats the
Mauretania.
Cow US, August 4.—The Indomitable
which brought the Prince of Wales
Irum Quebec, during four hours in the
early part of the voyage, made 20 5
knots an hour. Although for the 2000
miles from land to land, she beat the
record of the Cunard line ships, tie
vessel was not stripped to enhance her
racing powers, but carried her heavy
guns, her magazines full uf ammunition and all the quipment (nr active
sorvice.
Nelson's Taxation.
Nelson, B.C., Aug,4.—Iu striking
the rale of taxation (nr tbe year tlie
city council again adhered to th
policy which lias been its marked feature ever since the lirst, ye ir of its incorporation, refusing t • talc the improvements on hind, throwing the
burden nf taxes wholly up n the laud
itself and thereby rendering it unprofitable to hold land in the vicinity of
tlie hnsiness block* unimproved for
any length of time. Tho total assessed
valuation of real eslate and improvements amounts to $2,700,000, one-hall
ol which is the value of the laud antl
the other improvements. The tax on
land is 411 mill*, the tux on improvements is I mill, lu other words, the
revenue raised ia a lax of 2 1-5 per
cent on the total valuation. One
marked feature ot thia taxation, showing the interest the city take* in its
schools, is that ono third uf the revenue thus raised is on the upkeep and
building of schools.
Wife's Rights Limited

What ha* liecrn.it- of tlie Columbia trallic bridge? Are the people
of Revelstoke so satisfied in their
own miiul? that the bridge will he
constructed, that they .ire content
to sit back antl trust to the government to act up to its promise? We
have had to submit to many promises made in the past ami have
waited, reiving on the plausible
assurance of the government that
these requests, made in the proper
light, will he attended in. The
Bevelstoke people either blindly nr
from a real -en^e nf tru-t have relied upon the government tn keep
faith witi, them and in admitting
that such matters as the expenditure of money in any large -uin.
requires consideration un the pint
oi the government, yet believe that
a definite promise Bhould hold
good. Tlie government have admitted that if they proiiiisi- a thing
they will do it,nnd yet Mr. Pulton,

or another, and their feelings over
their treatment are very si rung,
and public opinion generally regents the fact that the government
should think lit to break faith with
them and quietly turn lliem down
resting assured that they will take
their medicine. We are still awaiting the promised answer, and waiting dues nut improve a people's
temper,
keep their eyes, ears, and watches
open for some offender who may lie
taking advantage of a-few yards of

THE FALL FAIR
A Plea for Co-operation—Citizens Must Help
The inauguration ol the iinnuul
Revelstoke Fall Kuir Iius marked an
Important epoch in the history of ihe
city a nd ilis'riet and one winch means
a very great deal for onr future prosperity and development. Fruitgrowing lins taken a rapid impetus in the
last year or twu and owing to the depression in railroad Lustiness and its
revenue in regard to citv prosperity,
the people naturally begun to turn
their eyes to oilier means of regaining
the guild time whioh llevelstnke lins
invariably enjoyed. We are nuw fully
alive to the possibilities that nnr soil
possesses and we can oonsoietltlously
advert ite these lands us, in every way,
desirable fur sell Ies, where money can
he made und homes established. Tlio
question of a f.iir has heen dtscusied
lor BOtue lime anil now thnt « delinite
decision has heen arrived at, a decision
which will lie unquestiuinhly a popn
Ur one, it is to lie Imped that lhe
people ttill respond nnd rise to tlie
occasion. The fair will encourage
the farmer Slid frultgrow-r to excel in
all manner ol field and garden produce
and to raise tlie standard of excellence
which will result in increased returns
to himself. It is proposed that the
fair lie ilividul up into several classes
including, poultry, live stock, dogs,
dairy produce, fruit, vegetables, field
produce, tlowcrs and general horticulture, h nu- linking, preserving antl
jams, art and fancy work, besides
classes lot children's li.ndiwork Mining and lumbering exhibits will lie in-
cluthd, while maiiufacturies and in
dustries will have a prominent place.
This latter will coalite the merchants
ol the city and district to advertise
their goods in an attractive and special
manner. In each of the above inen-
ti iiied classes, liberal pri/.eB will be
given, aud the more entriea there ire
the heiter the exhibits from au out-
aiders poiut of view. By this means
the pursuits as represented by these
different sections will be encouraged
and only the best aimed nt. To make
the fair a success everybody, no matter
what calling he may bave, is invited
to exhibit in any or all of these classes
and make tbe exhibition ns interesting
and embracing as possible.
It is to be hoped that it will pot be
ueces ary for tlie committees to spend
too much time this year in canvassing
for entries, as the weoks are abort
until the date o! the Fair, the second
week in September, but that ns soon
as the classes are announced and entry forms avaihiole, there will be no
hesitation in coming forward voluntarily with entries, By the co-operation and assistance ol the intending
exhibitors themselves n neb vuluable
time will be gained, as there is an
immense of woik to be done by all
couren.ed. Kvery citizen wiil have a
chance ol shining something aud if
the scheme is entered into with zest
and interest, this, our first Fair, even
Btnnll iu a begiuning, will be a success
and be an encouragement to even
greater energy next year, Attractions
and amusii'iiu n; of all kinds will lie
arranged and the agricultural grounds
—which in a few years will be the
finest in the interinr.are suited to every
form of sport, so Hint tlie inducements
fur visitors to take in our bIiow will be
esp ciaily Httrat-live, Ttie committee
want the support of the publio aud
want thcni to meet half way. Let ue
all get busy and.do our best and if
Revelstoke is ii whole is not apathetic
th first Fair in thii city cannot but
be nn unqualified success.

wiped out III  existence by the terrible
lire of Saturday afternoon,
Fires are still burning in the mouutains all about Feinie, but there ia
almost nothing left in thn town to
burn. Blackened chimneys and a
lew loitering ruins stand up baldly
above the ashes, fitting mohtiuicnts tn
the destroyed city.
The bodies of a miner, bis wife and
iwo children wore found in a well,
where they had tried to gain refuge
mm the terrible heat. Tbe head of
the man, whose naiiKt was Win. Ford,
WSS badly burned, while his wife and
children—a buy uf 2 and a girl ol 8
years—had all died of Buffooaliou,
There was only a liillu water in the
well, which was curbed with wood,
and after climbing into it the miner
nnd bis family were evidently unable
to get, out again, and the curbing
burned down almost, tn the water's
edge, sulVocaling them.
Many and harrowing were the results of attempts to escape frum tlie
llamra.
Revised estimates to day place the
properly losaat not less than $5,000,.
000. The worst lealure of it is that
the big lumber mills and the brewery,
where most ol tho people were employed, were burned to the ground
and cannot be rebuilt for months.
Meanwhile there will be no work lor
the former employees of these indtis-
triea,
