A ditcher working in the tamarac
swamp for Aug. Otremba reports that
he found layer of charred trees un-
der two feet Of bog and peat. This
goes to show that the swamp was once
dry and that a fire destroyed heavy
layer Of windfalls. How long ago this
happened is hard to say, but layers Of
grass and dust do not build up rapidly,
and to form a two-foot layer over
these charred logs probably took no
less than 500 years.
