Eraiyrant Gap District: 



An ortract from the monthly report of Ranker 

 Mclntosh for September 29 reads: 



"At the Cap and vicinity vmtching Mr. Pov/ler and his 

 flying machine to soe if he trespassed on any of the National 

 Forest. ITo damage done, but considerable of the ranger's time 

 occupied. " 



A number of sacks of sugar pine oones were collected 

 in this district this fall by the rangers in connection with 

 their other duties. 



Sierra City District: 



This district was very fortunate as regards fire this 

 season, the ranger not having a firo to fight. Since fires 

 have a peculiar nay of visiting different sections each year, 

 however* the Sierra City District may got its share nort yoar. 



Small timber sales and free use have lately. been 

 the rule in this vicinity. The chill fall weather is having 

 the effect of making every inhabitant see to getting in his 

 winter wood. 



C amoton illo Di stric t 



ft Tel. Co., has made application 



for u ri.^ht of way 25 ft., in width from Camptonville to 

 Sierraville. Considerable government timber will be out, the

The final water. power permit applied for by the Middle 

 Yuba Hydro Electric Power Co., has been approved by the Secre- 

 tary of Agriculture, This permit is for dams and reservoir 

 at Hilton and Jackson, about 20 miles of conduit line, one 

 power house and 21 silos of transmission line. The power 

 generated will be used chiefly to operate the mines in the 

 vicinity of Alleghany and Graniteville. 



Challenge* District: 



Hope has not yet been abandoned of getting a ranger 

 station in this district. The small amount of government land 

 which it contains makes the proposition a difficult one.
