blow-torch in some fox I-hII not I'm
from a corner of the Westerlund or

grass, causing muc:i excllemcut and
considerable damage, '
- Kitty men worked valiantly, In
cluding the llillcreHt and Wester
lund orchards crews, and a contin
gent of Crater national forest offi
cials and fire fighters. The blaze
was gotten under control at 8:15
fast night and entirely entinguisbed
this forenoon. The flames burneil
a swath in tall grass about a mile
long and a half mile wide up the
south side of Koxy Anne clear to
tho summit.
i The Hlllcrest orchard Buffered
only a nominal damage, but the old
dllipldated ranch house on tho
Cnloman ranch was burned down.
This was tho second bad fire .in
recent years tor tho same territory.
The WcHterland orchards suffered
a Iobb of Beveral thousand dollars.
Spread Rapidly
After the flro started from the
blow-torch it spread rapidly toward
the north Bide of the Westerlund or
chards. Tha lilllcreBt crew with
a tractor plow dug lurrows which
sovoral tlmos It was orroneoiiHly
thought headod orr advunce of the
flames, but the latter continued to
spread into tho north side of the
Westorlund urvharda property and
raced up tho slope of Ituxy Anue.
The flumes reached tho llakcr
much nearby, hut tho house and
other buildings were saved by the
efforts of the Crater national for
est Crow, Including Hugh Kunkln
and Norman White, forest supervis
or and assistant supervisor, respect
ively; Dwlght I'hlpps, district flro
warden, and a crew of aeven fire
fighters, will) duvoted their entire
attention to this feature, playing

had been rushed to the scene,
; i Attacks Orchard
Aftar destroying an old ranch
houno, deserted long ago, on Ihu
Coleman proporty near tbo Hlll
crest orchard, the flames, fanned
by n northwest wind, started burn
ing In pasture land of th oWoHter
lund orchard and attacked an apple
orchard, which had not been main
tained. Ureas was high beneath Hie
trees and burned rapidly. Thoro

which the trees were growing. ,
" With the exception of trees on
the border of tho tract, the gen
eral orchard trees did not suitor
from Hie bout. The flames rushed
through a small ravine and went
through another apple tract, de
spite offorls to turn them hack by
35 fire fighters from tho Wester
lund orchards under tbo direction
of Carl Y. Tengwald, president and
manager. However, the fire fight

buildings by backfiring.

acres of pasture and 100 acres of
apple troos, they Itogon burning
UP tho slopes of Hoxy Anne. Forest
service men had arrived a short
time before and aided tho orchard
men In saving the buildings. The
firo did not approach the mam
pear tract of the property aud Mr.
Tengwald said today that the crop
was in no way damaged and will
bo one of the host In years. He es
timated damage to the apple trees
at several thousand dollars.
A haystack of approximtaly 25
tons was destroyed. Flro fighters
wore successful In keeping tho
flames out of a grain field, with
tho exception of the destruction of
only six shocks of grain.
Tho Hlllcrest orchard had 14

It was under control early In the
afternoon, hut It broke away with
such fury that flro fighting efforts
wore unavailing. A 'tractor, driven
