These ID may be under wreckage, ', though it is possible that some were disintegrated by the explo sion after the crash and can never be found. The recovery workers who scale the pinnacle of the 12.500-foot cliff ure divided into three, six man teams. About 75 other workers help at the foot of the 3C0 foot pinnacle.

In an 18-day period, fire laid waste 141.223 acres of timber land and 165.891 acres of valuable grass and brush-covered watershed land. In all. an area of 307,113 acres was denuded. An estimated $3,610,000 was ex pended In the suppression action. Suppression costs are actually only a small portion of the ac tual loss, forest service officials state. A baard walk, three feet wide and 60.000 miles long long enough to stretch twice around the equator with some to spare could be built with' the timber that was QUEEN LOU ANN KANDRA Lou Kandra Spud Queen For 1955 MERRILL Lou Ann Karidra. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis L.

In some areas the .for est service may resort to artifi cial planting in order to create at least a partial covering of protec tive vegetation to prevent flood damage in years to come. i In addition to the loss of ' na tural resources, the fires destroyed homes, building and equipment. Initial rough estimates by the ;for est service place this damagl: at more than $4 million. r One of the major jobs now fac ing the forest service is the sal vage of the burned timber.
