By United Prraa BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 25. —National guard troops joined today with residents of fire-beleagured settlements in battling one of the most disastrous forest fires in Idaho’s history. Two mining towns already have been destroyed by the flames. Three Garden Valley, Grimes Pass and Pioneersville, are 'hreatened with annihilation unless the roaring menace can be ' urned. Governor Ben Ross ordered four companies of Boise militia into the fight. One was a medical unit. Sven with this aid, it is feared the fiames will destroy at least one of the thrcee villages in its path unless the wind changed. Grimes Pass was abandoned when the blaze moved up on a small ridge a short distance from the town. At Garden Valley fire burned in the timber at each end of the valley, but had been whipped into control. Three miners’ cabins in Pioneersville were destroyed and temporary escape of the village from total destruction came only after a hard fight.
