PASADENA BUDGET
FOREST FIRES NOW SEEM TO BE
SUBDUED
But Forty Men Are Still on Guard
Against Another Outbreak.
Experimental Wells


Herald, l6 West Colorado street. Telephone
red 6|5) The mountain fires are now prac-
tically extinguished, though it is still neces-
sary to keep quite force of men on duty,
owing to the danger of the smoldering en-
bers breaking out with renewed fury when
famed by the winds that nightly prevail
in these mountain canyons. The rainfall
came just in the nick of time, for while it
was very light yesterday, yet it served a
most useful purpose. The men were com
pletely exhausted by their long, hard labor,
nearly all of them having been working
i like Trojans for many hours without either
TODD or sleep. The men who came down
from the mountains yesterday were so com
pletely exhausted that some of them had
to be carried on burros down part of the
trail, and when they arrived in Pasadena
they were indeed "played OUT and be-
| draggled lot. Some of them had worked for
thirty-six hours without food and all had
experienced great hardships in their une-
quail struggle with the fire demon. There
are now in the neighborhood Of forty men
on guard in the mountains, distributed
about wherever there is most likelihood of
the fire breaking out again. Forest Superin-
tendent Newhall has returned to- his home
here and will remain until all danger is past.
