Nearly all of the above W ere living on
their places and lost homes. No at
tempt has been made to list owners of
timber lands who do not live on them.
It is impossible to estimate the dam
age done these properties, but 1t is safe

ranchers' timber losses, their losses will
run from a few hundred dollars to sew
eral thousand. A very email percentage
carried any insurance.
