HUNDREDS FIGHTING
FIRES IN FORESTS
Sonoma and Napa Counties Are
Under Pail and South
Is Suffering
Especial Dispatch to The Call

WooDSIDE, Sept. IA forest fire
that threatens the entire devastation
of this portion of the Coast range is
raging in the Purissima and Tunitas
canyons six miles west of this place.
The fire started in the Purissima creek
bottom, near Hatchs lumber MILL and
has already swept over nearly 1000
acres of timber land. Last night the
fire was working down toward Long
Bridge on the ocean shore, but as the
timber and brush are not SO thick In
that direction there is nothing to be
feared on that side.
Reports come down from King s
Mountain house that the view Of the
forest fire at night is one of the most
awe inspiring sights that has ever been
seen by the hotels guests. One hun
dred mill hands are out on the fire line.
and by using backfires it is hoped that
the progress of the flames will be
checked.
