Grass and Brush Fire Rages Off Point of Mountain A raging grass ' and brush fire west of Camp W. G. Williams at the Point of the Mountain swept out of control at mid-night Tues day, then broke out afresh Wednesday Wednes-day morning, with nearly 100 men fighting to keep it from spreading. The blaze, which attracted the attention of many residents of both Salt Lake and Utah counties, had burned upward of 2000 acres, Fire Chief Thomas Powers estimated at mid-night Tuesday. Chief Powers said 30 members of the local fire department, assisted by 50 volunteers from Lehi and ether northern Utah county towns, had fought the blaze for more than four hours after it started from a stroke of lightning about 6 p. m. At 10:30 p. m., however, the fire chief ordered most of his weary crew to return to Lehi, rather than leave ,the city unprotected for a longer period. ' At one time the flames reached within 100 yards of Camp Williams, but the workers and volunteeers dug a ditch and saved the camp from destruction. Fire Chief Powers said a shift in the wind removed the camp from further immediat" danger. After a shift in the wind direction, the flames moved northward north-ward in Butterfield canyon over tinder-dry bush-covered slopes. The blaze was easily visible from this city and attracted many motor ists to vantage points for a view of the brilliant flames. - The local fire department received another call Wednesday morning to the scene, as reports came that the flames were again threatening Camp Williams and might spread to valuable farming land and buildings in the Bluffdale and Harriman areas. The Salt Lake County fire department de-partment were also called to the scene. Fire Damages Earl Home Fire, believed to have been caused by flying sparks from the chimney, destroyed a small patch on the root of the home of Miss Clara Earl about 1 o'clock Monday afternoon. Due to the quick and efficient work of the Lehi fire department the damage proved to be slight. The fire alarm was sent in by a neighbor neigh-bor and the firemen made a record run to the scene. They were at thP Earl home in "double-quick- time and were successful in putting out the blaze with the use of chemicals. chem-icals. When they arrived the fire had burned clear through to the inside of the home and was beginning to drop down inside, but within a few minutes the flames were conquered and it was not necessary to turn the water in the home and cause damage dam-age in this manner. In the evening the patriotic pageant, pag-eant, "What Purpose Thy Sacrifice," Sacri-fice," written by Heber J. Webb and directed by Arleen Goodwin was presented before a capacity audience, au-dience, all of them proclaiming it a real materpiece. Thus ended another celebration for Lehi, one that will long be remembered re-membered by citizens, former citizens citi-zens and friends who thronged the city to participate in the many lively events. Lehi was host to thousands of visitors during the week. Veterans and descendants were guests of many citizens and were royally entertained during the entire encampment. Miss Fay Hutchings, as "Miss Black Hawk" with her attendants. Betty Adamson and Phyllis Dor-ton, Dor-ton, and Miss Betty Jean Dorton as "Miss Lehi" with Relva Larsen and Alta Christensen, as her attendants, at-tendants, reigned supreme over the entire celebration. Miss Ruth Peterson, rodeo queen, with Lorena Carson of Fairfield and Geraldine Ault of Cedar Fort, reigned over that part of the celebration.
