Caribou Creek Fire
Causing Grave Concern
(Contlnued From ->age onel

in the Klamath national forest both
of which have been burning for a week,
California was virtually free today
from fires on government preserves.
The Tahoe fire, near Bocca, had
swept over approximately 10000 acres
at last reports and was being fought
by 400 men. In the klamath, fire
along Bogus creek had covered approx
imately 10000 acres today, but had
been trapped on one side.
Three small fires, all under control,
were reported in the Sierra national
forest.
An urgent call for more men reached
Reno New, from Carson City when the
forest fires in Kings canyon, back of
Carson, broke out on the eastern slope
and was being driven by the wind into
the outskirts of the town.
Favorable fire-fighting weather pre-
vailed over the extreme Pacific north
west and British Columbia. No new
fires have been reported and extension
control lines about many of the larger
blazes was completed.
Reports from Vancouver were that a
fire near Powell river, B. c., which had
been practically extinguished, was
famed into a menacing blaze by a
strong wind. One hundred and forty
men fighting there succeeded in check
ing it, however.
Smouldering fires on both sides of
the 500 and Green rivers, IS miles
north of Vancouver, have worked their
way along the timber line to an ele-
walton of 5000 feet. Overcast skies
gave promise of rain.
