While r. H. Charlton, forest super
visor, is directing the fire fighting
forces along the fire line in the Big
Tejunga mountains, a woman in Los
Angeles is guarding carefully the D
100000 acres in other portions of the
big Angeles reserve. In addition she
is keeping the public advised of con-
ditions in those sections where the fire
is raging and is in command of the
commissary department that is sup
plying the firefghters with food and
clothing.
The woman is Mrs. Rose H. Leech,
to whom full authority to conduct the
affairs of the forestry Office was given
by Supervisor Charlton before his de-
parture for the fire zone a week ago.
Mrs. Leech is located in the forestry
office in the federal building and is
directing the movements of rangers
throughout the reserve by long dis
lance telephone. All calls for addi-
tional men to join the fire fighters
have been issued by her and she has
supervised the purchase of thousands
OF pounds of foodstuffs and materials
for the use of the men in the field.
Yesterday an automobile truck, load
ed with beef, was sent on her order to
La Crescenta. To-day another truck
load of food was sent out.
Since the fires started Mrs. Leech
says she remained on duty until 10
O'Clock at night and is on duty two
hours before any of the other en-

refused an offer Of $500. 900 for his

said he had seen the resort grow from
almost nothing to Its present proper

he steped out. He also said that as
a business proposition, the future Of
the resort was worth more than the
