Most of the timber-land between Squaw Creek and Truckee, on both sides of the river, was purchased years ago, from its locators, by the Truckee Lumber Company.

But Scott Bros., purchased a hundred and sixty acres from the locators and established a dairy in Squaw Valley, supplying the logging-camps with milk and butter for many years past.
For forty years or more this region has been the scene of active logging, the work having begun under the direction of Messrs.
Bricknell and Kinger, of Forest Hill.

The present president of the Truckee Lumber Co.

is Mr.Hazlett, who married the daughter of Kinger.

This company, after the railway removed from Glenbrook and was established between Tahoe and Truckee, lumbered along the west side of Tahoe as far as Ward Creek.
Entering the valley we find it free from willows, open and clear.
