FALLING TREE
BLOCKS AUTOS

A huge tree burned off at the
root by a forest fire crashed down
across the Olympia road a mile
this side of the Nisqually river
Yesterday afternoon and before
the road was again open several
Tacoma men had taken their turn
on the heavy cross cut saw. Two
Tacoma machines had just passed
over the road when the tree fell
and within half an hour six
autos and two rigs were block
AIDED. After a saw and ak had
been secured from a ranch a mile
distant, the autoists got busy on
that tree, each man taking his
turn. The tree was sawed in two
places, and then rolled over the
bluff.
The fire, which started Satur-
day night on the side hill, had not
spread over much space but sew
eral trees beside the narrow road
were burned nearly off and may
fall at any time.
