Fishing and hunting are still of
importance in Clorado and Utah.
Deer are ptentJful in the former

(as in Nevada) is being conducted

Itill battling the would-be slaugh-
ter ,of their deer herds, somewhat
I the same basis as is being con-
fronted by California sportsmen,
but no statistics are available at
the moment. However, we found
that in ColOrado--unlike many
ates---the deer count is actually
on the increase, the annual deer
kill is :on the increase, and the
yearly license issue is likewise on
the increase.

GREENVILLE LICKS
RENO R00ERVES
Greenville high won its second
practice football game Saturday
on the local turf, pounding the
Reno High jayvees 31-6.
The Indians set up four of the
five touchdowns with their passing
attack. RenQ's lone TD came when
they. intercepted a pass.
Greenville scored m every quar-
ter. Everyone on the varsity team'
got in the game.
"We feel fortunate and haplJy
to have won both of these first
games," Coach Timone reported,
"but from here they get toucher
and harder. Saturday's game was
a definite improvement over the
Los Molino contest.., the leno
boys were harder to beat."
Greenville's offense won the
game, but they were also strong
defensively. Reno's attack was
consistently smothered.

X-RAY TRUCK COMICS
TO BDIAN VALLEY
"
Indian'.VaUey people will have
two ehancee to be examined for
tuberculosis in October, it was an-
nounced yesterday by Mrs, Zona
King of Quincy.
The X-Ray truck will be in the
area on the. days:
Crescent Mills, October 8, 11 to
1 o'clock:
Taylorsville, October 8, 6 to 8:30

Last year, when the X-ray truck

of unsuspected tuberculosis were
discovere.'Due to prompt recog-
nition of the disease, and im-
mediate treatment, five of the peo-
ple have recovered sufficiently, to
return to their normal activities,
while the sixth is still under care.
CountYmebers of the Tuber-
culosis and Health Society point
out that th X-ray examination is
easy, rapid, free, safe, and may
save much trouble and suffering
by discovering lurking trouble be-
fore it has karl a chance to reach
an advanced stage.
U. N. ¢OREST EXPERTS
INSPECTING INDIAN
VALLEY AREA TODAY
In Greenville and around In-
dian Valley today are seventeen
foreign visitors, guests of the
State department, who are in-
specting operations of the Forest
Service.
They are part of a group of 21
United Nations representatives
visiting Plumas county.
The group is made up of agro-
nomists and foresters from
Europe, Asia, Africa, and South
America.
They will visit the site of the
Genesee fire of August 5 to study
control measures used there. That
fire, about 460 acres, wae report-
ed to have started with sparks
fm a welder's torch.
Ranger Turner of the Green-
ville district wll accompany the
visitors.
According to Forest Supervisor
William A. Peterson of Quincy,
the group will be shown timber
sales areas, range land, water-
shed cover and told of plans for
fire prevention and the protection
from fire of National Forest land.
Leaving Quincy Friday for Sac-
ramento, following an inspection
of power development in the
Feather River canyon, they will
visit Southern California forests
next week.
• The U. N. people picked a good
year to inspect Plumas county's
fire problems. Experiencing one of
the heaviest fire seasons in many
years, the Plumas National Forest
fire protection organlzatlon has
to date suppressed 322 fires. Sixty-
one of these were man caused,
and stat y min:
Rupe Asp2und, Pluma Forest
fire chief, potlts out that the 61
ma caned : 22;000
acres orm, doing a trmenua
anount of damage to timber md
forest cover. But the 1 lightntn
fires took less than 600 acre be-
fore being controlled.
Fire conditions here are still
critical,
PLUMAS FOREST
EARNS OVER
THREE MILLION
Plumas National Forest earned
$3,211,321.0 during the last fiscal
year.
This figure, released by W. F:
Murray, regional fiscal agent, iw
an all-time high for any National
Forest in the California region. It
is second nationally.
Twenty-five percent of this
gross will be returned to the five
counties in the Forest, Murray
said. This means that Plums
Butte, Lumm, Sierra and Yuba
counties wiU share (on an acre-
age basis) in nearly $900,000.
Commentg on the outlook for
the current year, Supervisor W'll-
liam A. Peterson said if demands
for timber continue, Plumas re-
ceipts may poaflbly reach 3b mil-
lion in 1952.

Ranch fire. was reported steadily
improving this week at the Bat-
son hospital. He suffered a broken
collar bone and bruises.

BULLETIN
"You can't have a loaded gun
in your car," says the State law.
And a number of Plumas hunt-
ers have paid fines this week
fJo prove It.
Most violations of the new law
are unintentional,
It has been reported that one
hunter, when asked by an officer
if the gun on the seat beside him
was loaded, said "NOl" He
started to hand the gun to the
officer o prove It The thing
went off and blew a hole in tim
car roof and the two men escap-
ed injury only by luck.
The law applies whether the
car Is parked or in operation.

break down fences or leave gates
open,
Hunters have been urged to
read their deep tags and fill
them out completely to avoid
clashing with the law.
