A Look Back in Time: Sept. 12, 1916

The local forestry office today estimated that the forest fire in the Wolf district on Black mountain has done $40,000 in damage. The estimate is based only on damage to merchantable timber, and doesn’t take into account the smaller trees.

Mrs. James Bronson has grown a squash in a garden on Sheridan’s south side that weighed 55 pounds and measured 4 ¾ feet at its largest circumference. She has several more squash that are nearly as large.
