 the right-of-way of tho Southern Pacific Railroad, probably 

 being set from sparks from an engine. Ho assistance was ren-

There was a small firo on the shores of Lake Tahoe 

 which delayed the dinner of three Forest officers for a riiile. 

 This fire proved unique in that several ladies gallantly assis- 

 ted in extinguishing it with the aid of a garden hose and Lake 

 Tahoe water. 







Extract from Service Report of Marc Edmonds, Captain 

 of the Launch "Ranger": 



"Went out to middle of Lake for a view. Wind came 

 up very suddenly. Had to fight for shelter. Got soaked 

 through. Got to mooring at 5 P.M. Cleaned onglne. Got 

 seasick from oil fumes end violent motion." 



The grazers are rather backward in the Truckoe region 

 on account of the late season. Tho feed has just started and 

 is yet of poor 'quality. Ho cattle came in the district until 

 after the 20th, and several bands of sheep will not be in until 

 about July 16. Several Nevada owners who are usually across 

 the v f/ashoe Mountains by this time of year, hr-ve not showed up 

 yet.
