Rising humidity, ocean fog and absence of a strong wind aided Are fighters Five thousand men were on the 125 miles of firelme tonight. Better fire-fighting conditions gave foresters hope the blaze could be checked. The city of Tillamook was saved from possible destruction Saturday night when the wind changed. Residents of outlying districts were readv for instant flight. One fire fighter has been killed. Several received minor injuries. Eight farms in this area were reported destroyed. The fire's spread is unchecked on the western and southern Wilson river fronts Foresters along those fronts ordered all crews withdrawn to prevent loss of life Efforts to check the fire in those areas have been futile.
