An inspection of the territory burned
over by the forest fire some time ago brings
out the fact that the loss was less than
was estimated at that time. 1t covered a
district of some over five miles. Most of
the territory burned over was mountain
land, nearly all of the valuable timber had
been taken off, but the fire has killed all of
the young growth, which leaves the noun
ta1ns in an unsightly condition, otherwise
on most OF this land the losses were light.
The principal losers are as follows: H. f.
PIllsbury & Son estimate their loss Tin
Sutton and Westmore), $1,000; Melvin
Drown estimated loss about $3.50; p. I'll.
Duke, $50; Ed. Butterfield, $500; G. F.
Wheeler, 5000; H. B. Orcutt, 500; o. B.
Willard, 800; w. j. Mcdowell, $500; r. B.
Lang, B. .G. Berry and Mr. Doyle, $50 each, in
fencesand la Dor. There were several slight
accidents, but no one severely injured.
The fire was fought for two days and two
mig hts, on the road leading from South
Barton to Westmore, by from so to $50
men. Had it not been for their timely aid
and the rain which came on Sunday night,
1t would have swept everything before it,
