Update

Coat estimates on the 7,000;

acre flte 10 miles south of
Terrace to date are $575,000,
and will increase as clean-up
of the area continues
throughout the summer,
according to forester Terry
Walker. .

Walker stated, and the
Forestry Service has begun
-the “labor-intensive part of
the program m”.

The c. earrup, which is not
out of the range of
machinery, will continue
until mid-Seplember or until]
the autumn rains, Walker
said, but added It is difficult
to predict what the final cost
will be. He estimated it could
cost up to $100,000 if the
weather stays cool and
damp, but could go much
higher otherwise.

There are still two other
fires out of control in the

The SLOK fire, 26 miles
south of Atlin has destroyed
2,500 acres. The other 1
called KEN, is about 26 miles
north of Hazelton and bur:
ning 250 acres. The Hazelton
area fire has slowed down
because of Wedneaday’s
rains, Walker said.

Walker warned that the
woods are still dry in spite of
this week’s rains, and asked
that persons travelling in the
woods continue to be

Horror Tale Death

TARRAGONA, Spain (CP)
~~ A death toll of more than

260 was officially predicted -

Wednesday night as more
victims succumbed to burns
suffered in a flaming gas
truck explosion that
devastated a Mediterranean
campground.

Spain's undersecretary for
health, Jose de Palacios y
Carvajal, told the national
news agency EFE:

“It is absolutely certain
that 120 more people will die
in two or three days, without
counting those who have
already perished in the
tragedy.

“The reality is terrible but

it‘ must be told, so that
relatives of the injured do
mot harbor false hopes.’
Hospital officials said 14
persons died Wednesday in
the crowded burn centres in
Barcelona, Valencia and

- Tarragona, bringing the

unofficial death toll to 139.
More than 250 were injured,

A tank truck carrying
propylene gas veered off a
highway and plunged into
the campsite 80 kilometres

southwest of Barcelona at°

that engulfed the 500 to 600
