They found that an apparently faulty electrical outlet had caused a fire inside a wall. No injuries were reported. Biscuit cash looks short ...

National forest officials estimated that one of every three trees they planned to sell would decay so much that it would not be worth cutting, and survey teams are finding this to be true. “Overall it’s going to be less than we predicted,” said Tom Link, salvage project manager. The forest service used new Bush Administration rules in hopes of accelerat- ing cutting of Biscuit timber before it lost value. But the process has been slow, and lawsuits have stalled log- ging in older forest reserves set aside for wildlife. Crews planning timber sales also have begun pass- ing over stands where com- mercial value is marginal. Federal figures show that by 2006, logging would cost more than it’s worth. Activists caused an at- mosphere in which timely logging was nearly impossi- ble because of their opposi- tion and threats of legal ac- tion, according to Chris West, of the American For- est Resource Council. “Their goal in life is to obstruct,” he said. “The sim- ple fact is, if we’d jumped on it early, we would have had more money to do that restoration that would have benefited wildlife and the communities.” U.S. Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Ore.) has threatened to introduce legislation to keep lawsuits from holding up logging. But even if he does, officials have at most one more year to sell the timber killed by the fire.
