The Ookenden-Byxbee saw mill has closed down for the 

 winter. This mill was constructed this spring end out a 

 little i-rre than one million feet of lumber during its short 

 season. Lumberman J.C.Elliott Inspected this sale In October 

 and did some check- seal ing. Cn the 127 logs so scaled he 

 found a difference of only 4.; between his and the sealer's 

 figures. Mr.F.lliott ocmmended the so&ler as also the nan- 



-.ent of rhe sale inasr.uoh aa he found no merchantable 

 Lnber left in legs and tops, no avoidable damage done to 

 ;ir,brr left standing or to second growth, and the brush 

 carefully and safely piled. 



The Dakan and Hoohderifer mill, destroyed by fire this

There has been a large number of special use permits 

 issued this sunnier for residence lots at Huntington J.ake

 difficulty in relocating missing corners.
