FIERCE FOREST FIRES.
Raging Atout RichmOndalc and Along
the GRAVITY Road.

the Gravity Road.
The extended Gry weather which we
have experienced lately has dried up
the woods tn such u state that the for
est fires that have been burning i'll the
vicinity have reached dangerous
plight. This especially true near Rich-
mondale and Vandling just above the
city. where already property has been
damaged to quite an extent. and much
more loss is threatened. Never before
have the fires ragged with such fierce
fury. and done so much damage. SeN-
cral buildings have been burned by the
fire, despite the frantic efforts made
to save them, and constant watch has
TO be kept that others do not each.
Theg reatest effort is being made to
extinguish the fire but as il covers so
large territory, all attempts have been
in vain, and il still continues 10 gather
headway and fury. Men from the min
ing companies are out III full force and
are fighting bravely for if it still spreads
it will be serious loss to them, for
the breakers will be consumed and the
mines in which they are employed will
be obliged to shut down. Men and wo-
men are also fighting for their homes,
which are constantly threatened. Al
ready many have removed their house
hold goods to places of safety.
IlSHt Is uNi ~ thN i"N'
that water facilities are very poor. and
nothing but buckets can be used. Sticks
are employed by many by which the
blaze is whipped out Many of the
workers have sustained bad burns. but
do not give up the fight.
The smoke which is caused by the
burning forest is terrible and causes the
men who are fighting the flames to
nearly suffOcate. This may cause the
street car line to shut down In that sec
tion as it is nearly impossible to ride
through the dense smoke.
The forest fires in the woods near No.
plane have also reached serious pro-
portions. and much property is threat
ened. The fire gained SO fast on Sat
urday that an alarm was sounded from
No. 3 and large force Of the COM
pany's men are now on the scene and
will soon have the fire under control.
