U. S. SELLS TIMBER ACRES
Tahoe Forests Give Company 15,oo0,00o
 Feet.

The United States Forestry Service has closed a deal for the sale of 5,000,- 900 feet of timber from the Tahoe National Forest to the Clover Valley Lumber Company. In addition the company has purchased from private owners of the Badenough watershed dis trict tracts of. timber up to approxi- mately 4O,O0n,O0O feet.
 The company has been given five years to cut the 700 acres comprising the Government sections, and the work will commence at once The other sec tions are either privately owned or are railroad sections. The company has acquired the old Marsh lumber mill at Loyalton, and the logs will be skidded out by donkey engine and cable to the Loyalton railroad, then hauled to the mill.
 The Government timber will all have to be cut in a scientific manner, an expert ranger designating the trees and experimenting the clearing. Twenty five per cent of money obtained for the timber will go to Sierra county schools and roads. Only 75 per cent of the trees will be cut, the rest being left for seeding purposes.

FOREST FIRE TRAPS
 SO LUMBER MEN
Number Of Men Missing In
 British Columbia Camp

Fernie {B. C)-Eight men are known to have perished and a number are missing in fire that swept the Spruce river valley, fifteen miles northeast of here. Sixty-odd men and about twenty teams were trapped in Camp IA of the Elk Lumber Company, which is situ- ated in a blind valley, and their flight over the mountains was most difficult
 Damage to the lumber plant was placed at nearly $75,000, but no esti- mate could be made of the timber'lo
 Eight bodies have been picked up in the rear of the fire, and the terrible agony the men endured is shown in their contorted features. Nick Musco- vich, Russian, was found alive, his eyes burned sightless, and raving mad. His body was badly burned, all his clothing gone except his boots, but, after being given first aid, he recov- cred and urged the rescuers to leave him and help men he knew to be be- y6nd him. With assistance he walked to the emergency hospital, and was later brought to Fernie, where his death is expected.
 Millions of feet of logs, the logging railroad and the bush camp building, together with equipment, horses and supplies, are a total loss. Ten fatali- ties is the lowest estimate.
 Doctors and relief parties were dis patched at once to the scene, but their efforts were practically unavailing, as they were unable to approach to an effective distance of the fire zone. The escape of the majority of the men was miraculous.

FREAK VOLUNTEER BARLEY

Chico-C. v. Eddy of the Eddy ranch, near Dayton, believes he has the freak grain crop of the year. In place of a crop of volunteer hay, as was expected, Eddy was astounded to see volunteer barley spring up, which has yielded him twenty sacks to the acre.
 In 1916 Eddy planted eighty acres to barley. The crop was harvested, but much of the barley heads were short and were not touched by the harvester. The land was later narrowed and the stubble raked off. The barley prospered and now the crop is but two sacks to the acre short of what it was when planted the year before.
