COSTLY BLAZE IN SAN DIMAS WATERSHED LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29.—Thousands of dollars worth of stock, the San Dimas watershed and numerous mountain dwellings in the foothills near San Dimas are endangered by a raging brush fire sweeping up the slopes of the San Dimas hills, according to a telephone message to County Forest Warden Stuart Flintham today. The report said that a large number of experienced fire fighters had been battling the flames but were powerless to check its speed and that the fire is beyond control. Unable to rush a crew of fighters from here to the burning area, Warden Flintham sent four deputy fire wardens to San Dimas to direct the fighters already fighting the flames, and ordered 60 men be drafted from Pomona to help in the fight. The fire, according to the report, centers in and around the Phillips Ranch, one of the largest stock ranches in the San Dimas country. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29.—After burning over 300 acres and threatening damage to fashionable residences in the Flintridge district near Pasadena, a brush fire that for a time assumed serious proportions was brot under control late this afternoon. A shift in the wind is declared to have been the only thing that averted destruction to several homes. The fire, though still burning a little, is declared under complete control and guards have been placed about the burned area should a new outbreak occur. The fire is now confined within a small area between fire breaks and roads. There are no residences in the section. SHIPPED Only One in Four Cars Ordered Available Because of Demand for Grapes. Eighty-six cars of valencias and one of lemons were shipped this week from Anaheim and West Anaheim, an advance of ten cars over last week's total. Prices remained the same with the tendency if anything to edge higher. Heavy shipments of grapes from California have brought a car shortage here which some houses describe as "acute." Only one car out of four or five ordered has been obtained, it was reported. The shortage comes as a surprise to the victims, in view of the additional reefers with which the Pacific Fruit Express provided itself toward the close of last year and previous to the opening of this season. The time of closing the season remains uncertain. Manager J. H. Ritchie of the Anaheim Cooperative Orange said he expected to close his house about Oct. 16. Ritchie said that his own house had experienced no shortage of cars. Grapes and oranges are practically the only fruit products now being shipped from California. Eastern Fruit comprises the chief competitor of the two. FULLERTON SHIPS 48 CARS OF ORANGES Forty-eight cars of oranges, four cars of tomatoes and three cars of walnuts were shipped from Fullerton this week.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29.—Sweeping with intense fury, two serious brush fires were raging near Los Angeles late today, one near the fashionable Flintridge residence section near Pasadena and the other in the San Dimas foothills threatening thousands of dollars worth of valuable property. One man is reported to have been injured. The fire near Pasadena, which was reported to have been started when a motorist carelessly dropped a burning cigarette, tarted about 400 yards west of the huge Devil's Gate Dam, which was not endangered by the flames, and spread south into the Linda Vista hills and noth into the La Canada country. Volunteer fighters were immediately rallied to check the advancing flames. Additional persons are being rafted to battle the fire. The fight of the golfers against the flames is said to have saved the Flintridge clubhouse. Preparations were being made to clear off a wide firebreak near the Flintridge residence section. All availabel fire fighting apparatus in Pasadena was rushed to the scene. DE MILLES PLAN TO LEASE TWO STUDIOS LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29.—Ceell B.
