At first the fire was supposed to have been out of the jurisdiction of the forest office, and in that way the fire had gained considerable heativvay before rangers could get to thc scene. Tuesday a call was sent to Gardner v'lle for fifty men to assist in controll ing the flames. That number respond ed to the call and an extra fifty were called to give assistance. A high wind is fanning thc flames and making the fighting very difficult at the present time.
