cd that they had left the fire within
half q mile Of casnp. 1t reached Grand
canyon on the Mount Lowe road this
afternoon, and about twenty men were
sent up this evening by the three water
companies and the Mount Lowe COM
pany to protect their interests. If this
force is insufficient the men are in
structed to send for more help.
Mr., Waterman is thought to have
taken the Tejunga canyon route for
Pasadena, as he left late yesterday and
returned to camp to recover what he
could. The latest news was received
this afternoon and confirms the burn
ing OF Switzer's camp.
These fires are considered as very
serious, and It Is the sentiment OF busi-
ness men that something should be done
Immediately to check them. 1t Is sug-
gested that some Of the numerous unem-
ployed men be sent UP to fight fire.
Pasadena's water supply is certainly in
danger, as the fires have been raging in
the source of the water supply, and
the country is being denuded or every
vestige of vegetation. The board OF
trade held q consultation this AFTERNOON
and 1t was proposed as one measure
to call the attention Of the county su-
pervisors to the matter.
