Supervisor Bigelow mode a final trip over the 

 est for the field season in September, visiting the Porest- 

 hill, Camptonville, Docnieville, Challenge, and Sierra City 

 Districts. On October 11 he attended a hearing in a home- 

 stead case at Truckee. 



Deputy Supervisor Pratt spent the larger part of 

 August in the Truc^eo and Sierraville districts rrhere ho 

 visited the reconnaissance party, and timber sales in comp- 

 any with Mr. Woodbury. 



Forest Assistant Sallaher spent a feT7 days in the 

 office the latter pert of September working u ? * report and 

 nap on the proposed sale to the Verdi Lumber Co. On Oc- 

 tober 5 ho raot Lumberman Zennedy who has been stationed on 

 the Plumos Forest this ou:umer and went over the area in- 

 volvod vrith him. 



A certain Porest official v;ho visited Nevada City 

 became very much impressed with the effectiveness of the 

 water-shooting fire towers orected in different parts of the 

 torm. One night he hod a dream in which he saw a water 

 tower on every forty acres within the Tahoe Porest, each 

 manned by a ranker. It is to be sincerely regretted that 

 this consummation in our fire protective scheme cannot be 

 attained. Perhaps that is the way they do in Utopia, but 

 the water in Celifornla wouldn't go around even if we had 

 the towers dreamed of. 



?. H. Smith, Chief of Maintenance in the District 

 Office recently visited the district rangers head quarter's for 

 the purpose of finding out how our filing scheme for men in 

 the field is wording out. He reported a very interesting trip 

 which was enlivened by a forest fire, the only one in the 

 Hove da City district thio summer. 



Henry Zorhorst has been appointed water- jage reader 

 at Freeman's Crossing oy the Geological Survey. This rill 

 relieve District Ranger TThlttua of many a long ride to that 

 station.
