At the first sale, some 75 lumber firm representatives, 12 of them from companies in Oro ville, Happy Camp, Yreka, and Medford, attended. Estimates Vary Various estimates of the am ount of fire-damaged timber to be put up . for. sale have been made, some of them running up to a total of 400,000,000 board feet. Lumber interests in Jackson county have shown considerable interest in the salvage timber sales in northern California, it was reported last week. Bid in formation was distributed to a number of firms, and many of them were planning to send rep resentatives to the sales. One of the big difficulties in the way of local companies, how ever,, is the distance of the tim ber from local mills, resulting in considerable transportation expense. The availability of the northern California timber is ex pected to make some difference in log supplies here, but it was pointed out that the overall ef fect would not be too great, since Jackson county's annual cut in recent years has ranged be tween 500,000,000 and 700,000,- 000 board feet. chelle Eranosian will be script girl.
