and its sister town, North Bend, with
their- combined population of 10,000.
CoquiUe Situation Grave
But at CoquiUe, 25 miles to the
southeast and inland, a logging town
of 3,000, and Myrtle Point, 15 miles
farther on, a village of 1,500, the
situation was grave.
- About the two towns the citizenry
worked en masse with logging bull
dozers to clear protective circles of
brush and timber, throwing up emer
gency fire breaks, which, they hoped,
would stop advancing flames.
They realized, however, that the
hours of grueling labor they put In
would be but an Idle gesture If a
strong east wind sprang up, throw
ing out from the flaming tree tops
for distances as great as three or
four miles red-hot embers.
So tense was the population of
the two towns, each surrounded by
flames, that few would speak of the
danger. For the most part, the citi
zens went grimly about the Job of
creating as much protection as pos
sible, their eyea sore and red-rimmed
from the dense smoke and their
throats raw as beefsteak.
Smoke Cuts Visibility
Lights burned throughout the day
and In the worst sections It was Im
possible to see more than 50 to 100
feet. Only the dull red glow high in
the skies told of the nearby menace
of fire.
Bandon was a shambles. Between
350 and 400 buildings lay in ruin,
skeletons of partially collapsed walls
sticking grotesquely above the mass
of blackened brick, wood and steel.
Through the debris, CCC enrollees
and federal and state officials picked
their way, looking for bodies.
Captain Lee Bown, of the state po
lice, said nine had been recovered
and that' six more probably lay be
neath the ruins. All that was left of
the town was a bakery, three mills, a
lumber yard about 20 bouses and
the high school.
The Identified dead were:
John Rieder.
Mrs. Ida Hill.
Daniel Koontz, 70.
Mrs. Charles McCullocb, 66.
George Williams.
Mrs. George Williams.
Jack Bailey, killed by falling trees.
Forester Brundage aald many of
the fires probably were Incendiary,
from the standpoint that they were
started to clean up pasture or clear
hunting ground and swept Into con
flagrations before the rising wind.
Two In Jail
Two men were held In Jail here
without charge. Chief of Police Matt
Coy said he was Investigating reports
of the finding of kerosene -soaked
rags both here and at Bandon.
Of the refugees who escaped to the
beach and the harbor Jetty Saturday
night, all but about 40 were gone
from Bandon today, some quartered
here, others traveling to the homes
of relatives.
Relief was mobilized on every hand
under the direction of Governor Mar
tin. Major General George 8. Slmond,
commander of the ninth corps area,
conferred with the governor at Salem
and left for the fire area. The general
already had furnished trucks, sup
plies and national guardsmen for the
stricken area.
Grants Pass and Roseburg were
turned Into concentration camps from
which supplies were dispatched. All
night long fleets of trucks traveled
westward to the danger zone, carry
ing food, medical equipment and fire
fighters and tools.
Hunting Stopped.
In western Oregon, the governor or
dered all hunting stopped.

A story of fortitude and of tribute
to the 1500 residents of Bandon who
saw tnlr life accumulations swept
before a raging fire came from John
Fasnacht, city manager of the strick
en city.
The flames struck suddenly Satur
day night after efforts to control a
blaze several miles from town failed.
The flames leaped from tree to tree
to send burning embers crashing atop
roofs and into streets.
Fasnacht, with his wife and three
children, arriving In Salem to stay
temporarily with relatives, related:
"California tourists, whose camps
were burned along with the homes of
residents, said they never had seen
such calm. People were laughing and
Joking as the flames leveled their
homes."
He told of aiding in fighting a
fire at Bear creek, five miles east of
Bandon, late Saturday; of subsequent
and futile attempts to save the city's
reservoir; and then of the rush for
the beach and safety when firemen
finally were forced to abandon their
equipment and leave their truck to
the destructive flames.
Sick Transferred.
"The sick and Invalided people from
the hospital (Bandon) were taken
across the CoquiUe river by the light
house tender Rose and placed In
safety at the Bandon lighthouse.
Many others drove through the fires
on the highway to escape the zone. (
'T heard of one woman who was
saved, hut insisted on going back
for her pet goats. She was burned
to death. I don't know how many
people were trapped."
Sunday morning, he said, soveral
cows came to the beach and fresh
milk was available for the children
who had not been evacuated.
Residents saved nothing but that
which they could carry, he said. His
own family was uninjured.
FIRE AND SLIDES
HAMPER TRAFFIC
ROSEBURG. Ore., Sept. 28. (AP)
Fires and slides near Bridge resulted

ing the Roseburg-Cooa Bay highway

N. Y.
Mrs. George R, Moffat of Ashland
was In the Community hospital here
today Buffering from a broken pelvis,
fractured collar bone, several fractur
ed ribs, abrasions and con t vision fol
lowing a three-way auto crash at
Voorhlcs crossing three miles south of
Medford at 3:15 p. m. yesterday. Six
others, riding In two passenger autos
and a freight truck involved in the
smash-up, escaped with minor In
juries. The refrigerator truck of the tractor-trailer
type, was owned by the J.
J. Hendricks company of Seattle, and
was driven by Thomas A, Hall. With
Hall was Kenneth Schons, a relief
driver, who was asleep. The truck was
loaded with fish livers In large tins,
being freighted from southern Cali
fornia to Seattle for processing of
their vitamin content.
According to state police, who In
vestigated the crash, the truck was
coming toward Medford, and hod
pulled over to pass a Bulck sedan
driven by Helmer O. Moen of Route
1, Medford. Moen signaled for a left
turn and swung into the Voorhles
crossing side road. The driver of the
truck told police he saw the hand
signal but that Moen turned so soon
after that he had no chance to stop
or turn back.
The heavy truck crashed Into the
left rear of the turning sedan, and
sent It spinning and skittering down
the highway. In the car was Mrs.
Moen, and their daughter, Maralda
Delia, who were thrown onto their
backs when the back or the front
seat was torn loose from its moorlngB
by the Impact. The Moen car slam
med head-on into a Chevrolet coach
headed south, and driven by Jack B.
Balding of Ashland. The1 car was own
ed by George R, Moffat of Ashland,
who with his wife and a boy named
Ralph Stubblcfleld, were passengers.
The two passenger autos were badly
damaged by the collision.. The truck,
still travelling north, swung to the
left as the two autos hit. The driver
told police that he cut the wheels to
the right to avoid shearing a tele
phone pole on the left of the high
way, slanted to the right across the
pavement, and that the truck-trailer
had Jack-knifed Into the ditch where
it turned over and ended up headed
south.
Fish livers, fruit, and other produco
being hauled In the truck was scat
tered over the highway as the refrig
erator body was split open. Hundreds
of people flocked to the scene of tho
crash as soon as word was learned
here, and state police had to direct
traffic around the wreckage. It was
soveral hours before the scene was
completely elenred, although traffic
was routed past the spot Immediately.
All of the occupants of .the .ma
chines escaped serious Injury except
Mrs. Moffat, although all received
bruises and scratches. Tha stubble
field boy was cut on the head In two
places so severely that stitches had
to be taken.
The truck driver. Hall, told police
that hla truck was speed -governed at
40 miles an hour, but that he had not
been travelling over 35 when the ac
cident occurred. Officers were atlll
Investigating the case today.
