Extent of Fire Unknown
Town of LoyaIton Saved

RENO, Aug. 20.-The forest fire which
threatened the town of Loyalton, Cal,
this morning is practically under con-
troll and did not come closer to the city
than a mile and a half.
The intense heat compelled the resi-
dents and the employees of the lumber
mills to thoroughly soak the roofs OF
the houses and the huge lumber piles
Fortunately the wind favored the fire
fighters and the country between the
town and the fire line being thinly
wooded made the efforts of the fire
lighters practically easy.
Millions Of feet of sawed lumber was
in danger at one time. as wei as many
homes on the outskirts of the city.

All bids and plans for the proposed ad.

last night as excessive in cost, and
there now seems grave doubt whether
the new building can be completed In
time for the exhibition this fall.

ancc OF Mr. Howell that he had certi-

showed that the building could be

TO bring the electric bids to tho COM

II was apparent, however. that even
