August 19, 1927: "Whipped into fresh fury by a strong east wind, forest fires in the Columbia national forest in Washington.
All crews had to be removed from the Siouxon fire district at once before the advance of the flames. Replacement for the ranks of fire fighters were sent today from Portland. It was believed that the Siouxon, Gumboot and Look Out mountain lookout stations will be burned. Instruments have been removed and the houses abandoned." (Statesman Journal)
