has
been
more
serious
this

than
since

much

Rains
at
the
end
of
last

somewhat
alleviated
the
situation
although
fires

Just
previous
to
that
some
of
the
fires
had
become
so
strong
that
it
was
impassible
to
have
men
face
them
and
all
that
could
be
done
was
to
endeavor
to
hold
the
conflagrations.
One
oL
the
most

flre
areas
has
been
the
region
between
Priestly
and
Endako
stations
on
th
Canadian
National
Railways
when
large
fires
have
been
burning
both
north
and
south
of
the
track.
One
of
these
large
fires
has
been
burning
since

In

while
another
was

last

presumably
being
caused
