A Sunday to Monday blaze in the Walla Walla Valley destroyed about 2,475 acres of wheat valued around $80,000. The fires, breaking out between noon Sunday and Monday afternoon, consumed crops from Bonin, Edna Daw, Dave Fortin, and other nearby farms, with 60 bushel yields at roughly 46 bushels per acre. Local residents fought flames as wind drift and a distant fire near Prescott added to the loss.
