Forest fires at this of year are
not the rule, but unseasonably
dry conditions set the stage for
a blaze on Sidwalter Butte May
that destroyed 16 acres of re
cently thinned timber.
The combination of dry
ness and a strong, shifting wind
was enough to sweep the
flames over the tract of Ponde
rosa pine and Douglas fir on
the southern exposure of
Sidwalter Butte, causing an es
timated loss of 10,000 board
feet of timber.
In other news: Peter's Pas
ture will be the site of a two
day encampment this summer
that will feature sessions in
Sahaptin language, crafts, reli
gion, dancing and traditional
recreation.

best he could have had, because
he likes the outdoors and fresh
