The stave factory tor! a time was in danger of being destroy ed to-day although a hundred or more | men prevented the spread of the tire to the buildings. Thousands of acres of tiuiberland i have been destroyed by the mountain tires within the last ten days. In the Blue Ridge mountains, down around Pen Mar, the fires are yet burning audi much damage has been done. The j (rout eate. at Pen-Mar Park, was saved from destruction only through the ef- j forts of a hundred or more men.

T'ne Forestry Commission is keeping ! close watch on the forest tires of the! State. and reports that up to the pres-j ent but little damage iias occur-[ red to State forests. Vast areas, how ever, have been unofficially reported to have been #re-swept, outside the State preserves. Commissioner Conklin said to-dav that about one hundred acres of State, forests have been destroyed in Centre; county and about 200 acres iu Hunt-! Itigdon county. Several small tires have , broken out on the Stare lands at Cale donia and Mont Alto, but he adds the State forester* and forestry academy studeuts were prompt to act and the danger of spreading was averted quickly. None of the State lands at Piiiej Grove has been burned over, but there! are some fires quite close to them in, Cumberland eountv. ' On his return front Pine Grove last night Commissioner Conklin saw the tire in the Price Hill region, near Mount Holly, where about 100 acres have been burned over and the tire is still raging, a large force of men are lighting it. Orders have been sent to all of the State forestry reservations to main tain a strict watch continually and make every effort to stamp out lire r%s quickly as possible in order to prevent a further spread.
