-While forest fires have been rag
ing In other sections of the country.
Baker City has been very quiet and
frw from any danger, nays the Her
ald. Last night the people were star
tled to see a great fire raging south of
this rtty, supposed to be over on Burnt
river. .Tt was learned today that the
fire was about 13 miles south of thlt
rtty near ithe mills of the Bennett and
the Wisconsin ' companies. 1 '
The fire :ls burning over a district
about, three miles long that has been
cut over and Is now covered with
slashings. Owing to the dryness of
the range and -all the timber, the fire
home very fiercely and then found
great difficulty n fighting the flames.
Sews of men were dispatched from
the two mills, and today succeeded In
getting the flames cheeked.
The mill of Bennett & Son was In
some danger, as the fire came within
a quarter of a mile of the buildings.
The Wisconsin mill was only half a
mile out of the path of the flames,
which raged fiercely alt night. The
wind wss fsvorable and blew . the
flames from the buildings, which Ig
about the only thing that saved them
from destruction. The damage wll)
not be very great, as all . the timber
had been cut from the burned area.
