BIGGEST FIRE The biggest and by far the most spec
tacular fire in Medford so far this year swept the Mor
ton Milling company buildings on Jackson st. at the
Southern Pacific tracks Friday night. Over 40 Medford
firemen fought the blaze, following a battle plan com
parable to those drawn up and rehearsed for other
major structures in the city. Billowing smoke and burts
of flame crossed the railroad tracks (upper left) and
for a short while appeared to threaten the propane
gas tank farm downwind (lower left). One fireman
high on a ladder is visible in this second picture, spray
ing a jet of water towards theconflagration. From the
south side of Jackson st. (upper right) firefighters and
photographers could watch the flames march relent
lessly through the buildings, defying dogged hose
crews (lowe rright) who braved heat, smoke, flying
cinders and the danger of falilng wires. The upper
right photo was taken by Dick Simonson, 536A Haven
st. The others are by Mail Tribune staff members.
