DESOLATION. : I Marks the Trail of the Michigan ' Forest Fires. » RELIEF FOR THE LIVING. I While the Clared and Black ened Regains of the Vic tims are Being Gathered for Burial. Was the Fire Incencfinary Origin? Detroit, Mieh , September 5. — ! Dispatches from the upper penin* suiar of Michigan shows that the rainfall in that region yesterday and last night has effectually’ put a stop to the forest fires, and will be the means of saving millions of piues and lots of homesteaders c ops and bouses. The damage already done, how ever, is immense and in many lo calities total loss can only be avoided by the immediate cutting ot timber. There is jconsiderable evidence that many of the fires are of inc-u --diary origin, were set by men who knew the schorched pines would have to be cut at once, thus giving theya work. The names will also force into tin? market much pine that was held by non-logging capitalists for the purpose of speculation. At any rate hundreds of men will be given immediate employment. It is thought nearly every’ foot of standing pine in Ontanoganon county is burned —fully’ 500,000,- 000 feet. The Nester estate has lost 90,000,000; Trout Creek Lum ber company, 20,000,000; Diamond Malch-Ompany’, 150,000,OCR). The balance is owned by homesteaders at Paynesville and Bruce’s Cross ing. Many cattle and horses were burned, but no human lives were lost though there have been many perilous situations and narrow es capes. The lailrouds have large gangs at work repairing road-beds and bridges, and are rapidly getting in to shape to resume traffic, COUNTING THE DEAD BuDIKS Pine City, Miuu.,Srptember4 The general executive committee iu charge of the relief work in the section has made a report of the dead bodies recovered thus far. as follows.

Bailey and his party’ were un armed, but the ghouls took to their heels and escaped.
