But the men weren't prison escapees. ' Officers said a check indicated the quartet had walked away a short dme before from Fairview Home. A train crew saw them in the vicinity of a gravel pit and apparently jumped to conclusions too quickly, police said. A prelimi nary search failed to locate the Fairview group. Northern California might spread into Southern Oregon. There the Haystack fire, after covering 77,000 acres, burned with in four miles of the Oregon border at one point Earlier reports that the fire already had crossed the Oregon border and had burned 2,000 acres proved incorrect. There also was a threat from the Sterling Mountain fire, and 100 'men from Yreka, Calif., and an other 100 from Oregon were sent to the scene to try to halt the spread. That fire has covered an estimated 900 acres. All Oregon fires were reported 'under control with men and ma ichinery being released as mop-up work continued.

SAN FRANCISCO ( Fire fighters appeared to be holding a precarious but nonetheless satis fying advantage Saturday over flames that have vaulted through many forests of California and Oregon. The men on the fire lines con tinued to gain headway over the 70,000- acre brush blaze in Santa Barbara County, but as much as 10 miles of the 70-mile perimeter still was out of control. Fresno reported firefighters had completed a 38-mile line around the Sequoia National Forest fire and were hopeful of "choking it to death." That blaze had blackened 17,500 acres and caused some 3 million dollars loss to timber. Near the Oregon-California line, fires which had covered some 20, 000 acres in Northern California were still regarded as "severely dangerous," but weather conditions were improved. Dense smoke was blowing from the California burn into Oregon's Rogue River National Forest and there was fear that the flames might leap the border over the weekend. On the Northern California Coast, Humboldt County firefighters re ported they had gained almost complete control over blazes that had whipped over nearly 33,000 acres in the past week.
