MOUNTAIN FIRES
This afternoon great volumes of smoke
from the hills west of Pasadena announced
the beginning of another big fire, such as
that which last year devastated the noun
tains and did thousands of dollars worth of
damage. Tonight the fire can be plainly
seen from the western part of the city, and
1t appears to be spreading over the second
range range of hills about four miles west
of the city and just beyond Eagle Rock
valley. Men are out fighting the fire, but
the grass and stubble and brush on the
hills are as tinder, and not much progress
has been made in confining the flames.
