July 17 This fire started in the North half 

 of the North half of Section 20-60-1 west, and was 

 caused by men clearing a mill site for the .Sandpoint Lumber 

 & Pole company. The company : had a lot of cedar made on 

 this ground an I were skidding it up into piles. This fire 

 spread quickly and burned over this ground which 

 was covered with cedar bark and tops, causing con- 

 siderable damage, amounting to $2,000. The company had 

 their crew on the ground and took care of the fire for the first 

 twenty-four hours. I sent Fire Warden Young up to the fire 

 from Sandpoint as soon as notified, who took charge of the 

 fire and put a good line around this, burying up all live fire. 

 Caused no further trouble the balance of the season. Cost of 

 controlling fire, $72.50.
