Redwoods Are Still
In Danger From Fire

San Jose, Cal, Sept. 1.-THE rapidly
spreading forest fire in the Santa Cruz
mountains threatening the destruction
of many ranchers and the famous big
redwoods in the Alpine district and Big
Basin today smashed all social 6fstinc-
ton. Side by side with ranch owners,
citizens, forestry men and students
from the engineering department OF
Stanford University, forty prisoners
from the Santa Clara county jail are
battling valiantly in an effort to stop
the ravages of the flames.
This morning the fire was sweeping
toward Black Mountain. Unless il can
be controlled before reaching the top
of the ridge, it is feared that the big
redwood forest, valued at $l5,000,000 is
doomed. A new army of fighters is
expected today, as Governor johnson
has instructed Professor Wing Of Stan
ford to spare no expense in the fight
and Wing, after an all night battle is
convinced that more men are needed.
Telephone advices today stated that
80 students, headed by Professor C.
Wing, battled with the blaze all night
and continued their efforts.
Meantime back-firing succeeded il
saving "IIidden villa" the magnifi
cent summer home of Charles Deering
at least temporarily.
The principal fight, however, is be
ing made on Black Mountain, which is
the key to the redwoods.
