OJAI, Cal.. 5pt. 12. (AP) Driven
from their baunte bj the wont tim
ber and bruah fire In thla Tlclnlty in
IS years, sors of mountain lions,
deer ond other wild animals have
wandered Into the outskirts of OJal
seeking safety from the flames and
smoke.
After burning over nearly 100,000
acres of watershed, the fire today was
spreading over an ever-growing curv
ing front and forest rangers were pre
paring to add to the more than BOO
men on the fire lines.
Ashes from the fire weres falling
here, glvlnjr the appearance" of a
snowfall. The heavy clouds of smoke
hare blotted out the aun a far north
as 8nta Barbara where ashes also
were falling.
OJal, which was destroyed by a
brush fire 15 years ago. was In dan
ger If a northeast wind develops. The
American Legion at Ventura was
holding 1U members In readiness to
be rushed to OJal In case this danger
developed.
The forest service held but little
hope of getting the blaze under con
trol immediately because of Its wide
front and the rough nature of the
country In which It Is raging.
MARsSHFIELD, Ore., Sept. 12.
More than three score men today
were fighting a, crown fire raging
over a three and a half mile front in

Idly Into new stends.
District Fire Warden J. A. Walsh, of
Roeeburg, yesterday made an aerial
survey of the entire Oooa district and
reported all other fires were definite
ly under control.
The sparsely populated Tioga coun
try represents one of the most valu
able merchantable timber stands tn
Oregon, composed mostly of Douglas
nr.
Aside from the rapidly spreading
blase In the Tioga district, three
other fires covering approximately
4,000 acres were burning today. More
than a thousand acres between Elk

Mile creek at the head df South
Slough a 2,500 acre fire was reported
and two smaller biases were reported
