by United Press Leased Wire


PETALUMA, Cal, Sept. 49,
Cottages, summer homes and re-
sorts in Sonoma county to an es
timated number Of 200 were des-
troyed late yesterday and during

q training ground for baseball
clubs, was destroyed. The hotel
and cottages were entirely burned.

its adjoining cottages were destroy
ed.
A total of about 100 homes, re-
sorts and cottages in the Sonoma

Der of summer homes on the out
skirts of Guerneville were burned.
The fire burned on the ridge
north of Rio Nido, another popular

PORTLAND, Sept. 1S.-Hawaiian
waters soon will be stocked with
striped bass, abalones, CLANS, oys-
ters and crawfish, if plans announc-
ed here by II. L. Kelly, fish and
game commissioner of the islands,
are carried out.
Kelly recently arrived in Port

intends to take back with him
many specimens of sea life not
found in Hawaii, hoping that the
specimens will thrive and propa-

who ride these days. This CO.'S

but here in, Southern California
they are few and far between
