wind was reported severe nnd
liable to drive the Are over so
as to endanger the northwest
part of Marshfleld near Knob
hill.
The forest fire on the peninsula
west of Ferndale yesterday afternoon
became even more threatening than
was anticipated in the afternoon and
as a result nearly 200 men from
Marshfleld and North Bend fought
the conflagration until midnight.
They were unable to anywhere near
extinguish it but by digging tren
ches, clearing stretches and with the
aid of a veering wind succeeded in I

were
thought in danger. For a time last
evening, Mayor E. E. Straw thought
to turn in a general alarm but final
ly decided that it would not be ne
cessary. Quito a force of men were watch
ing the fire this morning and doing
everything possible to guard against
any dangerous turn It might take ,
during the day. Owing to much of
the land having been partly clear
ed, tho rubbish burned easily and
spread the conflagration. Late yes
terday afternoon, tho fire jumped a
number of houses in the canon west
of Ferndale. For atime, it was fear
ed that these would be destroyed
and the occupants had moved out.
It is claimed that the fire has been
burning for several days but did not
attain dangerous magnitude until it
was fanned by the strong northwest
wind yesterday which carried It to
ward the residences along the Bay.
