BAIRD CALLED Is Sylvan Beauty Spot BY MODESTO. GAL Fifty Applegata OCO men today were still mopping up tho Buck baaln Bogua river national forest fire west of Union Creek. It was thought that the blaze, whloh was discovered last Wednesday afternoon and attributed to a careless smoker, could be put out completely without further difficulty. Tha crew waa using three pumpers. K. P. McReynolds, assistant forester In charge of fire suppression, miracu lously escaped serious Injury about 3 o'clock Friday morning. It was learned upon his return to headquarters here today. Mr. McReynolds waa driving along a narrow road, with a four-foot drop one one side, when a flaming snag fell and crashed endwlao down a hill side toward his car. Mores Huge Log The snag nosed Into the earth un der his automobile, pushed It over toward the edge of the road and badly damaged the left front fender. Mr. McReynolde continued on his way and a short distance ueyond found his path blocked by a largo fallen snag. In a hurry and tense from lack of sleop, Mr. McReynolds picked up tho end of the log and tossed It out of Jils way. Under ordi nary circumstances, ho confessed to day, he would r-ave been unable oven to budge the log. Mr. McReynolds took charge of the 980 firefighters at 4 p. m. Thursday and atayed on the Job with only eight hours of sleep until 1:30 yes terday afternoon. l ept, Ankles llurncd Several CCO men suffered from burned feet and ankles and Charles Hlerholzer of Camp Applegate sua talncd bruises Thursday night when a truck backed Into him, Ml. Mo Reynolds reported. Hlerholior was back at work today, fully itcovored, ha added. Considering the naturo of the fire., which was confined mainly to an area of anags and heavy underbrush, the accident record waa exceptionally good, Mr. McReynolds stated. He praised the work of the Elk Creek loggers who assisted In fighting th blaze. A email timber fire on tho road from Pelican bsy to Fort Klamath was put out Inst night by a crew of ten CCO men from the biological survey aide camp at Harrlman lodge. It waa on the west side of Upper Klamath lnke ih tho vicinity of the Crvstal school house. The crew waa supervised by Hugh Rltter, district ranger, and Elmer Rowden, guard. Tha blaze, discovered at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon, waa blamed on a careleaa smoker who presumably tossed a lighted match or cigarette stub Into the grass at the roadside. By Owen II.
