- M. S. Baker says: I think of Cupressus bakeri as a tree, not a shrub. A great fire came off of Mt. Hood _ in May. The country was green but a heavy north wind was blowing, so heavy as to carry fire down hill through green chaparral. Fire was carried through the air a great distance; Douglas Fir cones were blown across the valley two miles and setfire to the country. - Sept, 13, 1910. _ Hoods Peak, Sonoma Co. - Clark, Galen. Died in Oakland March 24, 1910. Buried in Yosemite. See S. F. Chronicle (weekly ed?) April 6, 1910.
