Winnipeg, May 15.—Word reached
the city yesterday of torilfc forest
fires raging on both sides of Lake
Winnipeg. The tires commenced evi-
dently about three days ago. The
district on fire covers thousands of
acres of valuable timber lands, chief-
ly property of the Dominion Govern
went.
The loss of personal property is
tremendous, and over a hundred fam-
ilies have lost their homes and stock,
I;,. F. Stephenson, Commissioner
of Crown Lands and Timber, re-
turned yesterday morning from Sel-
kirk and confirmed the reports . of
the forest fires. "The whole country
on both sides of the lake," said Mr.
Stephenson, "is either on fire or the
fire has run through it, leaving no-
thing but ruins of trees and build-
ings,
"Valuable .Government timber is
being destroyed, but WO are power-
less to do anything to check the.
fire. Tho timber is parched dry and
the undergrowth Is very rank and
like tinder owing to tho scarcity of
rain this spring.
"I should say that about 800 miles
along the C.P.11. from Tyndall to
Balsam Bay, • from there to Gimli,
and from Winnipeg right, down to
Selkirk comprises the territory which
the fire so far has visited.
"Slimy homes have been destroyed
in the German settlement, and all
buildings where the fire has macho"'
have been destroyed. Fences. barns,
farm houses and valuable timber is
burnt to an amount that I cannot
estimate. The fire has boon raging
for three days. In Oust what terri-
tory it started I cannot say. So
far as I know no lives have been
lost, but many families aro desti-
tute."
