Initial control efforts failed as flames renewed, threatening timber and slowing crews. A telegram from Dan Smythe and Day P Smythe confirms ongoing, intensified efforts with additional supplies and bedding requested to confine the blaze. The fire, located along the Umatilla River about six miles from Weraha, shows dense tinder and steep slopes complicating containment.
