Á GRIPPING FILM PLAY OF COWARDICE, AND COURAGE, HATE AND HEROISM...

The greatest forest fire ever filmed in the most dramatic photoplay of the season.

In which a plucky girl and a brave youth drive a locomotive through the heart of a burning forest.

In which a whole mountainside is blown up to check the sweep of the flames.

In which the course of a river is diverted to release thousands of imprisoned logs.
