BONNER COUNTY
BOTTLE BAY
Pend d'Oeille National Forest
April 17, 1914: "There will be one of five lookout points on the Pend Oreille national forest locally known as Bottle Bay. It is very probable that the Bottle lookout will not be completed in time for the coming fire season and in that case two men will be placed on the lookout; one to locate and report the fires by a system of signals and the other to actually go to the fire and put it out. In connection with this patrol, agreements have been entered into whereby co-operation is secured from the Pend Oreille Timber Protective association, which association has a corps of 24 men working under its jurisdiction adjacent to the boundaries of the Pend Oreille forest."
