Is being held well in check, by the fire fighters under the leadership of V. O. Wallace, district fire Inspector. A stiff southwest wind threatened to sweep the Are out of control Sunday. Wallace Is taking a gasoline pumping plant and several hundred feet of pipe and hose to the scene of the fire, and hopes to work out an , effective fire fighting system with that equipment. A rain would be of incalcuable bene fit in checking the Ore. The fire is a constant menace to tens of thousands of acres of virgin timber lying to the north of it.
