Rev Mount and Family Survive Narrow Forest Fire Escape
Rev Harry N Mount of Central Presbyterian church and his family returned from an outing on the Siuslaw sharing a close call with a forest fire. A wind-driven blaze swept near a ravine near Rock Creek, forcing them to flee to the L. Boring ranch, then back as flames threatened their camp. They avoided injury as the wind veered and trees crashed nearby. Mr and Mrs G F Henley of San Francisco arrived in Eugene, considering settling in the area.
