Forest Fires In Northern Minnesota
Are Extinguished.
(Bv Associated Press.)
Duluth, May 30.—A soaking rain fell
all of last night effectually wetting
down forest and brush fires that had
burned intermittently for weeks In
northern Minnesota.
The rain is reported general over
the north. Bad fires, however, continue
near the Canadian line. A message last
night from International Falls, Minn.,
said: "Forest fires have destroyed 12,
000,000 feet of timber. For miles in
every direction the ground is parched.
Th© dearth of rain has caused power
interests to fear disastrous results, as
if the water levels go lower industries
will be slackened."
