widen through the northwest to-

forts Of thousands OF men to check

fighting q fire near Chanapeco6h Hot
Springs, WASH. when he was crushed
by large boulder.
The forest service at Missoula.

acres. was out Of control. Additional
fighters were sent to help the 400
men already on the ground. Nearly Z
thousand men were fighting 30 other
blazcs In the state. Eight Of these
were uncontrolled.
Three old fires jumped out OF con-
