WILL YET SAVE BIG TREES
Fire Rages Near Tliem, but Swamps
Are Protection.
SONORA. Cal.. Aug. 10. The forest fire
which has been raging has reached the
southern grove near the Calaveras big
trees. Efforts of the men to check it
have been unavailing so far. Advices
from the scene are to the effect that the
big trees are in no immediate dancer, the
nature of the ground and the fact that
the underbrush is cut out preventing the
spread of the flames.
The fire is traveling eastward rapidly
and will doubtless reach the summit of
the mountains east of Angels. The area
of the burned section is now about 30
miles square, but the property loss
small, owing to Its being sparsely settled
in this region. The timber burned so far
is mostly small, the heavier having been
cut some time ago.
Reports from Murphy s are to the effect
that a special effort is being mnfle to
protect the big trees. The big trees are
located on rather swampy ground, where
the work of fighting flames is easier than
elsewhere. It may be set down as a fact
that unless unforseen circumstances arl3e
these will be saved.

The trip was a hard one, and many

ascent was begun, and it devolved upon
the more experienced mountain climbers

cause of this, progress was very slow.

apple crop in the vicinity of Hub
bard is light this year and Mr. Armstrong
admitted while here that the crop in
practically the whole country is the same.
While there was great profusion of blos
soms in the Spring, there - was a light
setting of fruit and the June drop has
lessened the crop still more.
Many orchardists think the cold rains
during the blossoming period had a direct
injurious effect, while others think the
rains prevented the bees and other insects
from- properly distributing the pollen. The
codling moth has made less trouble this
year than usual and those who have
sprayed regularly have clean fruit so far.
However, in this part of the valley much
of the injury Is done by the second brood
which will begin to hatch in a few days.
Some of the growers Intend to spray this

ger that may come from the brood that Is
now hatching.
