TINDER ALONG ROADBED Old Ties and Refuse Gathered In Heaps Furnished Most Combustible Material for the Flames—Official Re port Places Loss of Life at Twenty. nine and Property Damage at Five Millions of Dollars. St. Paul, Oct. 27.—General C. C. An- drews of the state forestry board has received a comprehensive report from George S. Chapin and Frank Curtis of Roosevelt, Minn., two forest rangers whom the board ordered to investi- gate the forest fires which destroyed Baudette and Spooner, Minn., and devastated the surrounding country. The report places the blame for the fires on the Canadian Northern rail- road and the carelessness of many locomotive engineers. It says that the country through which the fires traveled is wild and sparsely settled; that the fires in many places did not entirely destroy the trees, merely scorching them enough to kill them. These trees will fall this winter, ac- cording to the rangers, and make con- ditions as dangerous next year as they were this if the debris is not cleaned up. The dry weather of the summer also is responsible to a great extent for the fires, ‘for at no time,” accord- ing to the report, “was there water enough to put out the fires in the peat bogs, which were burning frequently to a depth of two feet.” Eight Prosecutions Pending. The report calls attention to the state laws regarding railroad regula- tion and care in a forest country. These laws, according to the report, were frequently broken. Accordingly, it says, “we brought eight prosecu- tions for ecarlier fires in Beltrami county We secured convictions in each cass, but the suits were appealed to the district courts on points of law and have been pending there since Sept. 1.” Mr. Chapin says source of the fires: “The fact that we proved that three fires were set by locomotives, that twenty others were reliably reported to us as having been started in the same way, and the carelessness noted in the conduct of many locomotive en- gineers, fully satisfies us that the rail- road company is responsible for all fires that were discovered after they had been burning for several hours regarding the and which showed by their paths that they had started from the railroad’s right of way.” Allowed Timber to Pile Up. Also the report declares that the Canadian Northern was guilty of al- lowing combustible material to ac- cumulate along its right of way. Mr. Chapin says: “Dry bushes and shrubs, old and decayed ties, extending to the roadbed, furnished in this year sure food for any spark that might fall.” The rangers’ report fixes the entire list of dead at twenty-nine and adds that the reason it was not greater was that many of the settlers had dug-outs and root cellars for just such emer- gencies. The financial loss is placed at $5,000,000, $1,700,000 of which was in the towns. Although arraigning the railroad for its neglect and blaming it in a great measure for the destruction dome by the fires the report concludes with an acknowledgment of the excellent re- lief work done by the road after the fires became dangerous. Mr. Chapin says the railroad officials did all in their power to alleviate the suffering and aid the victims. NEGRO TO GET HIGH POST Colored Lawyer of Boston to Be As- sistant Attorney General.

Ashland, Wis.,, Oct. 27.—Elmyra Deitz is not dying, as reported. It is true that an abscess has slowly been forming back of the left kidney for two weeks and an operation is expect: ed soon. The abscess is not inside the peritoneum and no serious results from the operation are feared. Her fever continues, caused by formation of the abscess, and runs up to about 102 every day.
