war was at It's height in the middle of
1918, the department sent out circular
letter, requesting relatives and friends
to send photographs of officers and en-
listed men of the naval establishment
who died in the service. AS result,
thousands upon thousands OF pictures
and negatives are now reposing In the
naval files.
Among the photographs just dis
covered are pictures of Medal of Honor
men and those who have received let

Twenty-Five miles from Alturas, Calf,
800 men were reported fighting a fire
which started July % in the Modoc
Forest. Already it has swept over 5000
acres of timberland and 5000 acres
of brush land, destroying approximately
50,000.000 board feet of lumber. All
buildings except the main mill of the
Crane Greek Lumber Co. burned.
